night  arrived  and  I  followed  a  mob 
out  to  what  appeared  to  be  the  place, 
the  lies  PE  Center.  Iweavedmyway 
through,  disguising  myself  as  the 
press,  and  passed  through  the  tight 
security,  only  to  be  given  a  color- 
coded  name  tag.  Interesting.

on  stage.  He  goes  by  Dobber. 

A  one  word  spelling  lmihc 
andaquestionnaire  followed  the  slide 
show.  By  now  we  were  outside  on 
the  field  and  were  told  to  divide  into 
groups  by  our  colors.  We  played 
icebreaker  games.  The  first  was  a 
shoe  switching  game.  Sophomore, 
Tami  Burch  found  it  to  be  very  intel- 
lectual. "It  was  profound.  It  re  minded 
me  of  the  story  of  Cinderella,"  she 

But  as  the  night  progressed,  the 
games  became  more  and  more  vio- 
lent, just  as  I  had  expected.  The 
bedlam  game  was  next—  meaning  a 
place  of  noisy  confusion,  a  mad- 
house. People  were  running  every- 
where, sacking  each  other.  Tim  Tay- 
lor said,  "It  was  like  playing  football 
without  pads." 

This  game  was  the  highlight  for 
most  students.  Brennon  Kirstein  en- 
joyed it  because  "it  involved  every- 
nnp  and  it  was  nttfirlv  foolish!"  Jun-

people  you  did  not  know. 

Next  was  a  marshmallow  contest 
where  Amaury  Garcia  shoved  more 
than  14  marshmallows  in  his  mouth 
and  said,  "I'm  a  chubby  bunny."  A 
limbo  contest  followed.  Jon  Fisher 
and  Dan  LaFlair  tied  for  first,  and 
Leslie  Brooks  came  in  second.

CvditOPial  Mr.  Dittes'  s  Word  for  the  Decade 


James  D 

What  are  we  going  to  do  wilh  the 

An  "evil  empire"  has  fallen,  only 
to  reveal  a  collection  of  warring  and 
ill-matched  clans  resuming  the  battles 
of  hundreds  of  years  ago.  Our  own 
nation  has  zestfully  risen  to  the  title 
of  world  leader,  yet  found  itself 
crippled  in  a  time  of  economic  un- 
certainty. 

Becauseofimportanceofthetime 
and  the  impact  we  can  have  upon  it, 
I,  in  my  editorial  musings,  have  tried 
to  put  a  finger  on  the  shape  of  the 
decade — indeed  to  put  it  into  one 
simple  word.  That  word  is  responsi- 
bility. 

Responsibility  really  isn't  as  aw- 
ful as  it  sounds.  There  is  so  much  to 
go  around,  yet  so  few  to  accept  it. 
The  eighties  ran  the  word  into  the 
ground.    Millions  of  dollars  were 


ittes 

passed  around  in  the  courts  on  the 
grounds  of  who  was  most  respon- 
sible. Indeed  the  eighties' theme  of 
"passing  the  buck'  belonged  to  more 
than  just  economic  prosperity.  Inthe 
early  eighties  the  Democratic  Con- 
gress and  president  were  blamed — 
and  beaten — by  Ronald  Reagan  for 
the  recession.  The  same  body  is 
blamed  for  the  current  recession  by 
George  Bush-even  for  the  demise  of 
"family  values"  in  the  nation. 

But  I'm  sick  of  blame.  Who  is 
going  to  stand  up  and  start  taking 
responsibility? 

In  his  acceptance  speech  at  the 
Democratic  Convention,  Albert 
Gore,  Jr.  addressed  the  word — our 
wordforthedecade.  "In  the  end,  this 
election  isn't  about  politics,"he  said. 
"It  isn't  even  about  winning. . .  .it's 


about  the  responsibilities  we  owe 
one  another  and  we  owe  our  chil- 
dren, the  calling  we  hear  to  serve  our 
country  and  be  part  of  a  community 
larger  than  ourselves." 

Southern  College  is  a  commu- 
nity. And  in  many  ways  each  one  of 
us  is  responsible  for  its  survival.  But 
within  this  community  we  hold  very 
important  responsibilities  toward 
each  other  — responsibilities  that  sim- 
ply cannot  be  ignored. 

As  students,  we  are  responsible  to 
apply  ourselves  toward  a  profes- 
sional career  and  Christian  lifestyle. 
We  also  realize  our  responsibility  to 
the  well-being  of  the  institution.  We 
are  the  face  it  shows  to  the  world. 
We  decide  whether  it  frowns  or 
smiles,  cries  or  shouts  for  joy. 

In  turn,  the  administration  and 
faculty  are  the  leaders  in  this  com- 


munity— indeed,  the  ones  most  di- 
rectly for  its  survival.  But  their  re- 
sponsibility doesn'tend  there;  italso  I

body,  its  needs,  and  the  integral  part  I

Week"  arc  ways  thi.it  the  reader  can  participate  in  Accent  without  having  to  write  a  controversial  letter  to  the  editor.  We  have  added  a  unique  religi- 
section,  which  will  allow  for  more  discussion  of  religious  issues  as  well  as  a  closer  look  at  religious  life  on  campus.  Alex  Bryan  will  be  bringing  u

Phillip  Fong,  victim  of  Hurrican  Andrew,  donates  his  ti 
nity  services  to  help  others  suffering. 


"My  whole  family  is  down 

there,"  said  Fong  just  after  the  disas- 
ter. "Ijustfeel  helpless;  there'snofh- 
ing  I  can  do."  But  many  students, 
including  Fong,  did  help  by  volun- 
teering in  the  Community  Services 
effort  to  send  aid  down  to  Florida 
[See  related  story  below]. 


Ten  days  after  Hurricane 
Andrew,  which  also  struck  southern 
Louisiana,  the  relief  effort  is  work- 
ing at  a  feverish  pace,  and  life  in 
southern  Florida  shows  little  chance 
of  getting  back  to  normal  soon.  Profi- 
teers and  scalpers  are  selling  basic 


like  ice  for  up  to  five  times 
the  regular  price.  The  drive  from 
Miami  to  Homestead  is  a  gauntlet  of 
checkpoints,  instituted  todiscourage 
looters  and  allow  only  residents  and 
media  officials  to  get  through. 

Fong'sfumil)  has  also  began 
rebuilding  their  home  and  their  lives. 
"We'll  have  to  knock  [the  house] 
down  and  rebuild  it  all  over  again." 
he  said.  "But  we're  lucky  compared 
to  other  people.  The  Mexicans  in  my 
area  have  nothing  to  go  back  to — no 
■they  can  only  go  on." 

Life  in  Homestead,  Florida 
will  never  be  the  same  again;  thanks 
to  Hurricane  Andrew  neither  will 
life  for  Phillip  Fong.  "It's  changed 
about  everything,"  he  said. 
"One  day  you  have  everything,  the 
next  day,  nothing.  You  find  out  how 
much  you  really  take  for  granted." 

As  the  skies  finally  clearover 
southern  I-IuikI;i.  people  like  Phillip 
Fong  are  rebuilding  their  homes  and 
their  lives.  "I  appreciate  God  now 
than  any  other  time  in  my  life," 
he  said.  In  his  case  and  many  others, 
dawn  will  never  look  so  precious  as

About  twenty  Southern  students  as- 
sisted in  the  Hurricane  Andrew  relief 
effort  last  weekend  by  volunteering 
at  the  Chattanooga  Area  Community 
Services  Center. 

The  relief  effort  at  the  center 
was  part  of  acoordinated  relief  effort 
overseen  by  the  North  American  Di- 
vision of  Seventh-day  Adventists. 
The  work  included  unloading  relief 
suppl  ies,  cataloguing  the  suppl  ies  and 
reloading  for  eventual  shipment  to 
the  Community  Services  relief  head- 
quarters, located  in  the  parking  lot 
and  gymnasium  of  the  Ft.  Lauder- 
dale church. 

"The  logistics  of  something 
like  this  is  incredible,"  said  Gail  Wil- 
liams, Executive  Director  of  the  Com- 
munity Services  Center.  "But  the 
students  were  terrific.    They  have 


been  pleasant,  charming  and  willing 
to  do  anything." 

The  relief  effort  collected  a 
variety  of  different  materials  to  be 
shipped  to  Southern  Florida.  "We 
chose  those  things  that  you  always 
need  like  diapers,  paper  towels  and 
baby  formula,"  Said  Williams.  Also 
purchased  were  $5000  worth  of  roof- 
ing materials.  Food  aid  was  coordi- 
nated through  the  local  food  bank. 

Christy  Futcher,  a  sophomore 
nursing  major,  volunteered  for  two 
hours  on  Sunday.  "I  feel  like  I'm 
helping  out,"  she  said.  "It's  the  only 
thing  I  could  do  for  the  people  in  the 
hurricane." 

Williams  emphasized  how 
greatly  the  students  had  been.  "Some 
people  only  want  to  do  the  heroics, 
these  kids  will  do  anything  you  ask 
them  to  do." 


As  registration  closed  this  week,  the 
big  news  was  not  how  many  or  how 
few,  but  the  strange  case  of  deja  vu 
administrators  are  feeling  after  the 
fourth  straight  year  of  consistent 
enrollment  numbers. 

At  the  close  of  registration 
in  the  gym  last  Tuesday,  1298  stu- 
dents had  registered,  a  decrease  of 
only  10  from  a  year  ago.  Incoming 
freshmen  numbered  ten  more  than 
the  previous  registration,  however, 
and  with  late  registrants  sure  to 
come,  the  administration  remarked 
on  the  enrollment  stability. 

"Our  enrollment  has  defi- 
nitely stabilized  over  the  last  four 
years,"  said  Mary  Elam,  Vice  Presi- 
dent for  Academic  Admissions. 
"This  is  the  fourth  year  in  a  row  that 
ournumbers  have  wavered  less  i han 
25  students." 

At  last  count  on  Tues- 
day, 1433  students  wereon  the  rolls, 
an  increase  due  to  many  registrants 
from  field  schools,  as  well  as  a  few 
full-time  latecomers.

Southern  in  1983,  joins  the  Nurs- 
ing Department  as  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  Nursing,  teaching  Mater-

was  a  nursing  instructor  at  South- 
western University  for  one  year 
before  attending  Texas  Women's

Eastridge  Hospital  in  Cleveland 
where  she  worded  in  home  health

Reed  noted  that  many  things 
change  from  being  a  student  in  the 
nursing  program  to  being  a  teacher. 
"You  gel  to  make  the  rules  instead 
of  follow  them,"  she  said

turned to  the  Physics  Department 
after  successfully  defending  Ins

A  native  of  Jamaica,  Dr.  Bignall 
holds  close  ties  to  Southern's

Hefferlin.  His  son  was  named 
after  the  department  head,  and 
Bignall  assumed  responsibility  to 
Hefferlin's  General  Physics 
class — a  Southern  science  institu-

of  the  same  experiences  I  used  to 
partake  of  here,"  he  said.

In  order  to  correct  a 
which  has  been  a  problem  in  past 
years.  Campus  Safety  has  introduced 
a  new  way  to  regulate  vehicular  and 
pedestrian  traffic  at  the  main  cross- 
walk between  Thatcher  Hall  and  the 
gymnasium.  Problems  such  as  long 
lines  of  automobiles  and  student  un- 
certainty as  to  right  of  way  has  en- 
couraged Campus  Safety  to  recon- 
sider means  of  directing  such  traffic 
safely  through  the  area. 

The  new  system  involving  the 
use  of  a  manually-operated  stoplight 
was  put  intoeffect  Thursday,  August 


27.    According  to  Campus  SafeM 
officer,  Tim  Hewlett,  the  lights 
be  operated  regularly  during  sched 
uled  assemblies  and  Friday  nig 
vespers.  "It  will  reduce  a  lot  of 
confusion,"  he  said. 

Student  sentiment  seems  to 
elect  a  positive  opinion  of  the  r 
system  for  varied  reasons.  "It' 
good  idea,"  said  sophomore.  Sot

lew  showers  causing  " 
addition"  frustrations 


H\  Michelle  Lashier 


Repairs  in Thalcher  Hall  have 

breed  many  residents  into  tempo- 

ms.  The  women  are  staying 

inex  and  Conference  Center 

|til  their  rooms  on  the  East  Wing 

completed. 

Originally  the  repairs  were 

be  Finished  before  the  semester 

legan.  "We  hoped  to  have  it  done 

pore  school  started,"  Women's 

an  Sharon  Engel  said,  "'but  we  had 

e  camp  meetings  here."  She  said 

e  projected  date  of  completeion  is 

k^ptember  16. 

She  had  been  concerned  for 
time  about  the  state  of  the  bath- 
;,  even  calling  them  a  health 
Izard.  She  said  the  East  Wing  was 
Specially  bad. 

Another  reason  for  the  delay 
|  that  the  repairs  were  not  expected 
o  extensive.  "Nothing  was  a 
lick  fix,"  said  Engel.  The  showers 
pre  the  only  things  they  intended  to 
place,  but  "things  just  mushroomed 

In  order  to  remove  the  shower 
am  ihe  bathroom,  the  wall  beside 
e  sink  had  to  be  scrapped.  Then, 
e  windows  were  taken  out  in  order 
o  get  the  showers  out  of  the  rooms. 
[^placing  the  knocked  out  walls  led

the 


tecarpedting  the  roc 
f>e  bathroom  was  also  replaced,  and 
1  fan  installed  to  remove  moisture 
md  help  prevent  mildew.  "It's  al- 
;'  'ike  starting  over,"  Engel  said. 
Engel  said  she  has  been  fight- 


ing for  repairs  in  the  bathrooms  since 
she  has  been  here,  but  that  Helen 
Durichek,  Associate  Vice  President 
for  Finance,  is  also  largely  respon- 
sible. "She  pushed  [the  repairs] 
through,"  Engel  said. 

Although  badly  needed  re- 
pairs are  taking  place,  many  Thatcher 
residents  are  frustrated.  "It's  incon- 
venient, you  have  to  walk  far,  and 
nothing  works,"  said  freshman  Kim 
Collins  of  her  temporary  room  in  the 
Conference  Center.  Collins  and  other 
residents  have  been  living  there  for 
several  weeks  and  are  skeptical  of 
the  projected  date,  Spet.  16.  Many 
expect  the  repairs  to  last  longer  than 
that. 

A  new  feature  has  been  added 
to  the  first  floor  windows  to  insure 
the  safety  of  the  residents.  A  bar 
allows  it  to  open  only  6  inches,  but  it 
can  be  removed  in  case  of  an  emer- 
gency. Removing  the  bar  sets  off  an 
alarm  in  the  security  department. 
Also,  the  heater/AC  will  shut  off 
when  the  window  is  opened  in  order 
to  save  energy. 

The  downstairs  rec  room  is 
also  being  redecorated.  A  new  re- 
frigerator will  be  installed,  said  Engel, 
as  well  as  new  tile,  paint,  curtains, 
and  furniture.  The  old  piano  has 
been  refinished  and  will  be  put  back 
in  the  rec  room  when  the  repairs  are 
complete. 

Sophomore  Staci  Jenkins 
believes  residents  will  be  pleased 
with  the  end  results.  "There  is  no 
comparison  [between  the  old  and 
new  rooms","  she  said.  "It  was  worth 
the  wait  and  the  hassle."

George  Bernard  Shaw  once 
wrote  that  "It's  all  that  the  young  can 
do  for  the  old,  to  shock  them  and 
keep  them  up  to  date."  These  words 
seem  to  characterize  this  current  po- 

With  his  selection  of  Senator 
AI  Gore  of  Tennessee,  Bill  Clinton 
punctuated  his  central  message: 
George  Bush  and  the  Republicans 
are  out  of  touch,  policy-old,  worn 
out,  and  out  of  date.  Both  Clinton 
and  Gore,  who  are  in  their  mid-for- 
ties, contrast  noticeably  with  the  ag- 
ing George  Bush.  From  the  Demo- 
crats' perspective  that  is  the  point. 
They  arc  striving  to  convey  the  mes- 
sage: We  are  young  and  it's  time  to 
chock  America  and  bring  it  up  to 

But  the  Republicai 
course,  haven't  missed  a  beat  on  this 
trend  either.  The  increasing  ap- 
pearances of  forty-something  Dan 
Quayle  are  certainly  conspicu- 
ous. The  numbers  and  visibility  of 
young  delegates  at  the  Republican 
convention  last  month  were  purpose- 
filled.  And  George  Bush  after  his 
acceptance  speech,  kicking  balloons 
and  frolicking  with  his  grandchil- 
dren arc  pictures  intended  to  show 
that  the  President  may  not  be  young, 
but  he  is  at  heart.  And  most  impor- 
tantly, he  is  a  president  who  under- 
stands the  young  people  of  America. 
After  all.  he  better  counteracts  Gov- 
ernor Clinton's  Arsenio  Hall  and 
MTV  strategy. 

This  year's  presidential  elec- 
tion is  all  about  youth.  1992  could 
hold  the  most  high  profile  youth 
agenda  since  the  presidential  elec- 


tion politics  during  Vietnam. 

Some  current  examples  of 
1992  youth  politics:  ( 1)  The  in- 
creasingly overbearing  financial 
burden  of  the  elderly  (e.g.  so- 
cial security  and  medicare) 
being  paid  for  by  young 
Americans.   Some  have 
proposed  that  these  "er 
titlemenls"be  means- 
tested.     In  other 
words,   if  yo 
make  a  lot  of 


especially  _  "^/H^ 

for  college  graduates.  _  °o  l 
More  and  more  skilled  jobs 
are  not  there  waiting  for  young 
college-educated  Americans.  The 
jobless  rate  has  been  an  issue  con- 
siderably talked  ahoul  by  bothcan- 
didalcs.  (3)  The  federal  deficit. 
Thai's  right,  in  one,  or  two,  or 
three,  or  ten  years  (or  right  now) 
we  are  stuck  with  the  responsibil-

Advocates  - 

Is  Gore  a  good  choice  for  Vice  President? 

\dxoc aies  are  opposing  editorials  in  winch  the  pros  and  cons  of 
hch  opinion  is  expressed.  There  are  always  many  sides  to  an 
hue.  Advocates  is  a  way  of  deciding  where  you  stand  and 
lalyzing  the  arguments  for  and  against. 


Was  choosing  Albert  Gore 
I  the  Democratic  vice-president 
Jididate  a  good  decision?     Bill 
n  obviously  thinks  so,  and  so 
■  many  other  Americans.  After  all, 
]  has  been  in  the  Senate  just  two 
■s  less  than  Dan  Quayle.  Gore  is 
known  for  his  dedication  to  the 
ronment,  and  therefore,  there  is 
)  chance  that  he  would  ever  be 
Ifluenced  by  the  radical  fringe  envi- 
Inmentalisl  lobby  groups,  which  are 
ffhomeforcommunism  in  this 
buniry.  Moreover,  he  would  never, 
lider  any  circumstances,  put  crip- 
:ntal  regulations  on 
.  I  don't  think  Gore  would 
to  cut  back  on  the  timber 
Iduslry,  putting  thousands  of  work- 
out of  jobs.   Because,  after  all, 
e  Clinton  and  Gore  are  elected 
e  will  be  no  such  thing  as  jobless- 

In  addition.  Gore  wouldbring 
Washington  a  long  record  of  mak- 
g  important  decisions.  According 


to  Politics  in  America  he  made  the 
important  decision  to  vote  against 
barring  federal  funds  for  "obscene" 
art(1992ed.,pp.  1385).  It'sagood 
thing  we  have  Gore,  because  I  don't 
know  what  we  would  do  without 
"obscene"  art.  Moreover,  on  May  1 , 
1 986  he  voted  for  raising  taxes  rather 
than  cutting  spending  to  reduce  the 
deficit.  However,  I  think  Gore  is 
bereft  of  the  experience  Clinton  has, 
because  Clinton  has  activated  the 
Arkansas  National  Guard.  How 
much  more  experience  can  a  person 
realistically  ask  for?  Without  being 
any  more  adulatory,  I  must  say  the 
main  reason  Gore  is  a  good  decision 
is  because  he  is  moderate.  He  is 
hardly  liberal.  And  thank  goodness 
for  that,  because  the  last  thing  this 
country  needs  is  a  "tax  and  spent" 
liberal. 

Hold  on  for  just  a  momenl 
folks!  Does  all  this  sound  like  a 
travesty?  Well,  that  is  exactly  what 
it  is.  Gore  is  not  all  these  wonderful 
things.  He,  and  his  running  mate  are 


nothing  but  some  big  spending  liber- 
als hiding  behind  a  phony  "moder- 
ate" or  "centrist"  image.  In  1991  the 
National  Taxpayers'  Union  (NTU) 
named  Gore  the  Senate's  biggest 
spender.  The  Americans  for  the 
Democratic  Way,  an  admittedly  lib- 
eral group  who  ranks  senators  ac- 
cording to  how  liberally  they  vote, 
gave  our  "moderate"  Gore  a  rating  of 
69  percent.  Edward  M.  Kennedy, 
the  paragon  or  liberalism,  scored  just 
20percentage  points  higher.  In  addi- 
tion, the  Congressional  Record  shows 
that  Gore  votes  9 1  percent  more  lib- 
eral than  all  other  senators  on  social 
issues,  and  74  percent  more  on  eco- 
nomic issues.  "His  overal  I  pattern  is 
decidedly  liberal — particularly  for  a 
Southerner."  Politics  in  America 
1992  ed.,  pp.  1382-3) 

This  doesn't  sound  like  a 
moderate  to  me.  Could  it  be  that 
Clinton  and  Gore  are  presenting  a 
false  image?  I  think  the  answer  is 
clearly  yes.  This  is  very  indicative  of 
dishonesty.  Idon'tmind people  vot- 
ing for  them,  but  I  just  wish  they 
would  be  honest  about  whom  they 
really  are— two  liberals.  Why  are 
they  trying  to  act  moderate?  Be- 
cause they  know  that  nobody  wants  a 


liberal  in  the  White  House.  Just 
remember  1984  and  1988  when 
Mondale  and  Dukakis,  two  liberals, 
got  slaughtered  in  the  election. 

Besides  bearing  false  witness. 
Clinton  and  Gore  seemingly  straddle 
both  sides  of  every  issue  or  switch 
sides  when  it's  politically  advanta- 
geous. Gore,  forexample,  went  from 
pro  life  to  pro  abortion.  Please  take 
note  thai  I  said  "pro  abortion"  not  pro 
choice.  Our  "moderate"  friend  Gore 
uses  the  term  pro  choice  to  describe 
himself,  and  this  is  nothing  but  a 
softening  term  that  fits  into  the  same 
category  as,  "I  smoked  but  didn't 
inhale,"  designed  to  mask  the  naked 
truth  of  taking  a  life. 

Indeed,  Gore  is  a  bad  deci- 
sion for  vice-president,  because  he  is 
a  fake,  a  phony,  and  a  fraud.  He  is  a 
"tax  and  spend"  liberal  dishoncsih 
posing  as  a  moderate.  But  most 
importantly,  he  comes  in  a  package 
with  the  flower  scented  Bill  Clinton, 
and  together  these  two  liberals,  and 
this  is  what  they  really  are,  represent 
a  one-way  ticket  to  economic  de- 
pression. Prosperity  with  a  liberal 
running  the  show  is  a  manifest  im- 
possibility. 


|  When  Bill  Clinton  chose  Tennes- 

je  Senator  Al  Gore  to  be  his  Vice 

residential  running  mate,  he  chose 

:  energetic,  and  visionary 

lader  who  brings  to  the  Democratic 

tket  a  broad  range  of  experience 

fd  achievement.  Against  our  cur- 

s  of  problems  (economic 

fid  educational  stagnation,  high  un- 

jnployment  and  increasing  health 

s,  deterioration  in  the  cities 

m  gridlock  in  Washington),  Sena- 

jGore  brings  an  expertise  not  only 

[  d°mestic  and  family  issues,  ;but 

[°  foreign  policy,  national  de- 

;.  and  the  existing  environmen- 

*1  worries. 

Although  Clinton's  leadership  in 


domestic  issues  has  proven  suc- 
cessful for  more  than  a  decade. 
Gore  extends  the  record  by  prov- 
ing to  be  strong  in  areas  where  the 
Arkansas  Governor  is  publicly 
scrutinized.  Both  Al  Gore  and  his 
wife,  Tipper,  actively  pursue  ways 
to  clean  up  a  deteriorating  environ- 
ment and  earnestly  promote  the 
importance  of  maintaining  strong 
family  values.  While  the  Senator 
attended  the  1989  international 
conference  on  the  environment  in 
London  and  led  a  1992  interna- 
tional conference  on  the  environ- 
ment in  London  and  led  a  1992 
Senate  delegation  to  the  interna- 
tional environmental  summit  in  Rio 


de  Janeiro,  his  wife  waged  war 
against  the  violent  and  sexually 
explicit  lyrics  in  much  of  today's 
music.  By  involving  himself  in 
these  and  other  domestic  issues,  Al 
Gore  has  shown  his  desire  to  im- 
prove life  for  future  generations. 

Gore's  experience  doesn't  stop 
there,  however.  His  work  on  the 
Senate  Armed  Services  Commit- 
tee has  distinguished  him  as  an 
arms-control  expert,  and  his  sup- 
port of  President  Bush  in  authoriz- 
ing the  useof  force  against  Saddam 
Hussein  clearly  shows  a  willing- 
ness to  cross  part  lines  when  con- 
victions insist. 

Tough  at  home  and  tough 
abroad!    With  all  his  experience 


(eight  years  in  the  House  and  eight 
more  in  the  Senate)  and  sound  deci- 
sion-making, the  question  most 
Vice-Presidential  candidates  have 
to  face  has  an  easy  answer.  Could 
Al  Gore  capably  step  into  the  Oval 
Office  and  assume  the  job  of  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  should 
anything  happen  to  the  president? 
The  answer  is  an  unequivocal  "Yes" 
and  that  seems  to  be  more  than  we 
can  say  about  Dan  Quayle. 

Together,  the  Clinton-Gore  ticket 
offers  the  kind  of  change  that  our 
country  desperately  needs. 
Clinton's  wise  of  mainstream  Sena- 
tor Al  Gore  builds  a  Democratic 
team  that  is  far  more  promising  than 
another  four  years  of  Bush-Quay  le.

Ken  Rogers:  BIG  Ministry  on 
Campus 


BIO 

Name:  Ken  Rogers 
Age:  37 

Dale  of  birth:  Nov.  14,  1954 
Place  of  birth:  Portland,  OR 
Marital  Status:  Serious 
What  you  know  now  that 
you  wish  you'd  known  then? 
"Priorities  change. 
Plan  lor  the  future." 


College  Chaplain.  Whatdoesthat 
title  mean  to  you?  What  should  it 
mean? 

Ken  Rogers  is  Southern  College's 
College  Chaplain.  His  office  coordi- 
nates Friday  evening  vespers,  occa- 
sional chapels,  student  missions, 
CARE  ministries,  and  various  other 
spiritual  programs.  "We  want  some 
students  to  find  Jesus  Christ  while 
they're  here,  and  we  want  others  to 
grow  in  their  relationship,"  he  said. 
"We  want  to  train  and  excite  young 
people  to  commit  their  lives  to  the 
lifestyle  thai  Jesus  left  us." 

In  1973,  Ken  graduated  from  Au- 
burn Academy  in  Washington  State 


and  began  his  freshman  yearat  South- 
ern. During  his  five  years  here  as  a 
theology  student  he  served  as  South- 
em  Accent  Editor  and  also  as  Stu- 
dent Association  President.  He  then 
attended  Andrews  University  for  one 
year  before  working  with  youth  in 
Napa  Valley,  CA,  and  in  the  Caro- 
lina Conference.  He  has  also  served 
as  youth  paslorforCollegedale  Acad- 
emy forfive  years  and  as  Collegedale 
Church's  youth  pastor  for  another 
five  years. 

"I  guess  I  always  knew  I  wanted 
to  work  with  young  people,"  said 
Rogers.  "Ireallyenjoy  workingwith 
the  collegiate  age.  I  like  their  re- 
sources and  initiative,  and  their  cre- 
ative energy.  I  like  to  hear  their 
thoughtsanddialogue."  Elder  Rogers 
says  that  he  enjoys  team  ministry 
with  a  multi-pastoral  staff  and  he 
really  likes  the  team  effort  involved 
when  he  works  with  the  leaders  of 
CARE  ministries. 

Most  people  who  know  Ken 
Rogers  would  describe  him  as  a  joy- 
ful, positive  Christian.  One  of  the 
llrsL  things  people  notice  about  him 
is  that  he  isn't  afraid  to  poke  fun  at 
himself  to  make  people  laugh.  He  is 
also  an  avid  reader;  he  likes  books 


on  current  theology,  devotions,  and 
practical  Christianity.  He  says  he 
loves  the  outdoors  and  loves  to  scuba 
dive.  What  else  does  Ken  do  in  his 
spare  time?  "  I  parent,"  he  said. 

Ken  believes  that  purpose  and 
meaning  in  life  are  found  in  a  faith 
relationship  with  Jesus  Christ  and 
that  a  natural  outgrowth  of  vibrant 
faith  is  a  life  marked  by  service.  Not 
everyone  is  at  the  same  stage  of  faith 
development,  which  is  why  the  pro- 
grams meet  the  needs  of  such  a  di- 
verse group. 

So,  what  should  the  word  "chap- 
lain" mean  to  students  at  Southern 
College?  "It  means  the  students  have 
a  pastor  who  is  concerned  for  their 
spiritual  welfare;  for  their  growth 
process;  for  their  trials  and  disap- 
poinnments,"  he  said.  "I  am  always 
on  call;  I'm  definitely  not  an  office 
person.  1  want  to  be  approachable."

Letters  Home 


Dear  Southern, 

Greeting  from  Sagunto.  This  letter 
omes  from  a  long  way  and  it  pleases  me 
a  tell  you  a  little  about  what  I'm  doing. 

Studying  abroad  this  summer  is  an  over- 
whelming experience,  sitting  in  a  class- 
ti  with  students  from  diverse  cultures 
and  who  speak  several  different  languages 
is  awesome.  There  are  students  here  from  Italy,  France,  Switzer- 
land, England,  Africa,  and  of  course  the  states.  There  is  such  a 
wide  variation  of  cultures  represented  here,  but  somehow  we're 
allalike.  We'realljustordmarypeople.  My  teacher  speaks  many 
different  languages  and  it  is  thrilling  to  here  him  speak  to  different 
students  in  their  native  language.  They  respond  and  carry  on  a 
conversation  and  I  just  sit  and  soak  it  all  in.  I  enjoy  speaking  to 
the  different  European  kids  here,  enquiring  about  their  culture, 
their  country,  and  their  language.  I  never  knew  how  much  of  the 
world  out  there  I  didn't  know.  It  seems  back  at  home  we  are  so 
secluded  and  naive  of  different  cultures  and  backgrounds,  but 
when  I  came  here  to  Spain  it  opened  up  a  whole  new  world  forme. 
The  teachers  here  are  thrilled  to  assist  you  in  any  way.  They 
make  each  student  feel  comfortable  in  such  a  divers  environment. 
1  still  can't  believe  I'm  actually  here,  but  I  am.  I  want  to  take 
advantage  of  every  opportunity  I'm  given  here.  I  think  it  is  a 
privilege  lo  study  in  a  foreign  country  and  I  wish  everyone  would 
consider  spending  some  time  abroad.  I  believe  traveling  is  the 
most  informative  and  educative  thing  anyone  could  ever  experi- 
ence. And  I  am  delighted  to  be  here  in  Spain  this  summer  at  our 
Adventist  college  learning  more  about  the  language  I  love  so 
much,  Spanish. 

In  a  few  weeks  I  should  be  returning  home  and  getting  ready  to 
come  to  Southern.  I  look  forward  to  seeing  all  of  my  friends  and 
meeting  new  ones!

Welcome  to  the  first  edition  of  the  1992  Accent  Religion  Page!  This  year 
we  will  publish  your  thoughts,  concerns  and  opinions  on  a  wide  range  of 
issues.  Religion  is  a  subject  which  everyone  seems  to  have  an  opinion  on. 
In  fact,  a  person  may  be  shy  about  speaking  out  until  the  subject  of  religion 
comes  up.  Then  they  undergo  a  transformation  and  become  Robo-Theolo- 
gian.  A  compartment  by  theirhip  swings  open,  and  "Zip!",  out  flips  a  Bible. 
Shish,  swish-zing! ...  and  an  opinion  whips  by  your  head.  Proof  texts  rain 
like  hail  as  you  run  for  cover.  Chalk  up  another  hit  for  Robo-Theologian! 

Well,  we  won't  get  quite  that  dramatic,  but  we  would  like  to  open  a  forum 
which  airs  your  thoughts  on  the  issues  which  concern  young  adults  today. 
We'll  choose  a  topic  each  week  such  as  "Roller  derby  on  the  moon-should 
SDA  youth  participate?"  The  object  is  to  try  to  give  food  for  thought  so  that 
you,  the  highly  intelligent  reader,  can  decide  whether  or  not  you  will  fly 
"240,000  miles  to  play  Roller  Ball. 

As  I  survey  the  Seventh-day  Adventist  church  today,  I  get  the  impression 
that  there  are  a  lot  of  people  who  are  rethinking  their  positions  on  some  of 
the  issues.  Adventist  young  people  want  to  know  the  reasons  for  policy,  and 
Biblical  support  for  doctrine.  To  this  I  exclaim  "Zalz  Good!" 

I  urge  you  to  declare  '92/'93  the  year  that  you  discover  for  yourself  a 
Christianity  filled  with  the  matchless  charms  of  Jesus  and  alive  with  a 
dynamic  love  and  energy.  If  you  grew  up  in  the  Church  and  are  just  entering 
college,  you  may  have  heard  up  to  896  sermons  and  more,  not  to  mention  sat 
through  literally  thousands  of  hours  of  Bible  class.  (Hang  on,  you'll  hear 
another  650  or  so  this  year). 

But  are  you  satisfied  that  you  know  all  there  is  to  know  about  Jesus  and 
the  Bible?  Could  it  be  that  there  is  some  things  you  haven't  heard,  or  that 
you've  not  heard  the  gospel  in  the  true  light  of  Christ's  love  and  sacrifice  for 
His  Creatures?  Do  you  believe  in  the  Bible,  in  Jesus,  and  in  Paul?  If  so,  then 
the  question  you  have  lo  ask  yourself  is:  "Do  I  love  Jesus  enough  to  sacrifice 
my  eternal  life  for  His  cause  and  for  the  soul  of  a  brother?"  Until  we  can 
positively  answer  "yes"  to  this  question,  I  would  suggest  that  we've  not 
complete  understood  what  Jesus  gave  to  us  on  the  Cross. 

I've  seen  the  reaction  of  people  as  they've  discovered  for  themselves  the 
truth  of  Christ,  and  how  it's  changed  their  entire  life.  I  challenge  you  to 
discover  for  yoursell  ihisthmi:  \\hn_h  has  so  many  c\ciled.  Myprayeristhal 
you  will  know  the  truth,  and  that  the  truth  will  set  you  free.

Apple  Pie.  Vegelinks.  and  soft- 
ball  at  Southern  College.  Yes  folks, 
Softball  season  is  hear  again,  and 
with  it  comes  the  thrill  of  a  diving 
catch,  the  exhilaration  of  a  towering 
home  run,  and  of  course  the  all  night 
softball  toumamenl. 

Softball  at  Southern  is  an  excel- 
lent way  to  meet  some  new  friends, 
and  gel  a  lot  of  exercise  at  there  same 
time.  To  be  a  competitive  team,  the 
members  must  work  together  as  a 
unit,  with  each  player  contributing 
his  or  her  talents  to  help  the  team 
win.  This  can  be  done  in  many  ways, 
by  encouraging each  other  m do  their 
best,  by  coming  early  to  work  on 
your  swing,  so  you  can  help  your 
team  during  the  game,  or  by  just 
being  there  and  playing  hard  from 
the  very  start  of  the  season  each  team 
is  focused  on  one  goal,  to  be  the  last 
team  on  the  field  come  Saturday 
night,  of  Sept.  19. 

There  are  many  different  games 
each  week.  The  games  are  usually 
played  at  5:00,  5:45  and  6:30  in  the 
evening,  Monday  thru  Thursday. 


Come  on  down  to  the  field  and  see 
how  much  fun  it  is  to  watch  your 
favorite  team  play  and  root  them  on. 
Whether  you're  watching  guys  and 
orgirls  play,  there  isplenty  of  excite- 
There  are  many  ways  to  exhibit 
good  sportsmanship,  and  playing 
softball  is  one  of  those  ways.  A  lot  of 
emphasis  is  put  on  sportsmanship  at 
Southern,  and  I  believe  the  results 
really  show  when  you  watch  a  soft- 
ball  game  being  played  here.  Now, 
don*t  gel  me  wrong.  I  definitely 
believe  a  player  should  always  play 
his  of  her  hardest  and  put  forth  an 
utmost  effort  to  win,  but  the  players 
need  to  keep  things  in  perspective, 
and  remember  that  softball  is  just  a 
game,  meant  to  be  played  for  fun  and 
enjoyment. 

I  hope  that  from  what  I  have  de- 
scribed, each  and  every  person  who 
reads  this  editorial  will  become  en- 
thused about  the  game  of  softball  and 
come  out  tocheer  their  favorite  team. 
This  years  teams  should  be  as  com- 
petitive as  ever,  so  come  on  out  and 
have  some  rundown  ;it  [lie  hall  held.

Volleyball  on  sinking  sand? 


BET  TER 
BADDER? 


By  Thomas  Faulk 
Everyone  wants  it.  I  mean  really, 

I'  m  not  talking  about  tickets  to  the 
U2  concert  or  English  101  from  Dr. 
Smith  either. 

People,  I'm  talking  about  sandpit 
volleyball. 

I'm  sure  you've  seen  it  before. 
Sun-bronzed  men  and  women 
smashing  the  lemon  juice  out  of  an 
earth  shaped  leather  envelope 
sphere.  And  you  thought  mud-bog- 
ging was  fun. 

Last  year.  Student  Association  was 
convinced  to  construct  a  sandpit 
court  here  on  our  wonderland  cam- 

The  Senate  appointed  John  Appel 
and  Coach  Phil  Garver  (Garv)  to 
head  the  operation.  "Beach  volley- 
ball is  becoming  a  major  sport," 
Appel  said.  "A  lot  of  students  were 
going  into  the  community  to  play, 
but  then  we  got  to  thinking  hey — 
why  can't  we  have  one  here  on 
campus?" 


SA  approved  and  started  plai 
ning.  That  was  last  year. 


cutting  down  the  price." 
Coach  Garver  (Garv)  i 


Well,  it's  supposed  to  lay  behind 
the  soccer  goals  and  walking  track. 

We  are  having  a  hard  time  coming 
up  with  the  money  for  this,"  Appel 
commented.  "SA  lifted  a  rather 
large,  undisclosed  amount  for  this 
project  but  it  seems  that  we  are  still 
coming  up  short." 

The  amount  stashed  in  SA's  purse 

was  eccentrically  large,  so  why  the 
financial  trouble? 

Approximately  one-hundred  and 
fifty  tons  of  sand  will  ;be  dumped  in 
the  pit.  about  ten  dollars  per  ton. 
The  sand,  however,  is  financially 
covered.  The  problem  is  the  drain- 
age. 

"There  has  to  be  a  certain  amount 
of  gravel  lining  the  floor  of  the  pit. 
This  is  what  makes  drainage  pos- 
sible. It's  also  the  key  to  this  di- 
lemma— it's  what's  making  the  fi- 
nancing difficult,"  Appel  slated. 
"We  are  trying  to  find  a  means  of 


phone  interview  said:  "We  are  ve 
optimistic  about  [his.  I'mconfidt 
that  it  is  going  to  happen.  Everyo 
wants  it.  We  are  going  to  have.  a 
its  going  to  be  wonderful. 

Hope  so,  Garv. 

"This  is  really  SA's  project  bul 
is  the  PE  department  that  well ; 
sume  responsibility  for  the  can 
of  the  court.  And  that  is  what  will 
done,"  he  decisively  added. 

So  here's  the  deal:  Atop-of-ir 
line  sandpit  court  needs  to  he  i 
stalled  but  without  spending  an  t 
travagant  amount  of  moolah.  ilnK'i 
lettuce,  dough,  greenback 
.  Whichcveryoupreler 


call  it. 

When  the  court  is  finally  o 
pleted,  it  will  precisely  measure: 
enty  by  fifty  feet  with  adepth  of  one  | 
to  two  feet.  And  enough  sand  t( 
the  biggest  shorts  around. 

In  the  meantime,  1  guess  wait1";  I

I  Okay,  given  this  is  a  health  article, 

I  but  before  you  turn  the  page  give  me 

■the  opportunity  to  tell  you  where  I'm 

■coming  from.  I'd  like  this  to  be  a 

I  letter  from  a  friend  who  truly  wants 

)  feel  better  and  accept  your- 

Iself.  This  is  a  personal  attempt  to 

I  share  information  that  you  can  use  to 

|iake  charge  of  your  health  now,  not 

.  So  what  qualifies  me  to 

e  this  column?  Well,  I  could  tell 

Lou  about  my  public  relations  en- 

■avor  with  HealthFest  '92,  the  larg- 

t  health  event  in  Tennessee  or  I 

Pcould  talk  about  the  books  I've  read 

ij  -.uhjccts  studied,  but  the  bottom

Tennessee 
ftquarium- 
9s[pt  a  fish 


out  of  water 


Until  May  of  this  year,  being  a  fish  lover  and 
Collegedale  resident  went  together  about  as  well 
as  goldfish  and  sail  water.  After  all,  SC  dormitory 
policy  allows  only  small  fish  tanks  (55  gallons  or 
less)  in  the  rooms,  and  eastern  Tennessee  offered 
little  in  the  way  offish  watching". 

That  has  changed.  Enter:  a  freshwater 
aquarium  the  size  of  not  a  dorm  room,  but  a  dorm. 
The  Tennessee  Aquarium,  the  world's  first  major 
institution  dedicated  to  freshwater  ecosystems, 
proudly  overlooks  the  Tennessee  River  in  down- 
town Chattanooga.  It  opened  on  May  1,  1992. 

Amy  Area,  visitor  services  worker,  says 
the  aquarium  has  been  a  big  attraction  since  day 
one.  "We  were  supposed  to  do  650,000  visitors  in 
a  year,"  she  says,  "and  we've  done  that  in  four 
months."  Long  lines,  therefore,  remain  the  big- 
gest visitor  complaint. 

Once  you  do  get  into  the  $45  million 
privately -funded  fish  tank,  five  major  galleries 
await  you:  the  Appalachian  Cove  Forest,  the 
Tennessee  River  Gallery,  Discovery  Falls,  the 
Mississippi  Delta,  and  Rivers  of  the  World.  As 
President  William  Flynn  puts  it,  "The  Tennessee 
Aquarium  gives  [you  your]  first  look  at  the  under- 
water world  of  the  river." 

Afraid  you  might  lose  track  of  what  you've 
seen  and  what  you  haven't?  Don't  worry,  says 
aquarium  enthusiast  Angie  Coffey,  the  winding 
path  will  systematically  take  you  from  top  (the 
Cove  Forest)  to  bottom  (the  Rivers).  And  all  the 
while  you'll  observe  more  than  4000  living  speci- 
mens of  fish,  birds,  reptiles,  and,  occasionally. 


The  Cove  Forest 


If  the  information  panels  along  the  way — 
"these  lungless  salamanders  actually  live  in  the 
mountains"  and  "the  powerful  tail  of  the  alligator 
propels  it  through  the  water" — don't  answer  your 
questions,  an  attendant  wearing  an  "Ask  Me!" 
button  will.  The  most  popular  question  outside 
the  piranha  tank?  "What  do  you  feed  those?" 
Surprisingly,  the  sturgeon,  not  the  piranha,  have 
been  responsible  for  most  of  the  "in-school"  fights 
thus  far. 

Over  half  of  the  aquarium's  visitors  are 
from  out  of  town.  Eleven-year-old  Dean,  who 
was  traveling  through  Chattanooga  with  his  fam- 
ily, enjoys  the  aquarium  because  he  "likes  sci- 
ence". Most,  though,  are  simply  there  for  the 
show:  the  underview  of  a  paddling  duck  is  more 
entertaining  than  you  may  think. 

The  Tennessee  Aquarium  has  also  caught 
the  attention  of  several  SC  students.  Seniormulti 
major  Rick  Mann  beats  the  aquarium's  $8.00 
admission  cost  with  a  $29.00  membership  card, 
which  allows  him  free  admission  anytime  for  a 


year.  The  aquarium  currently  has  38,000  mem- 
bers. 

Monte  Christen,  a  sophomore  nursing  ma- 
jor, can't  see  himself  frequenting  the  aquarium 
quitesooften.  "I  enjoyed  it,"  he  says.  "Itwasneat 
seeing  all  the  different  ecologies  ...  but  it's  not 
something  I  intend  to  do  every  Saturday  night." 
(A  good  choice,  since  the  aquarium  isn't  open 
Saturday  nights.) 

The  Tennessee  Aquarium  offersmore  than 
freshwater  wildlife,  however.  An  art  exhibit 
sponsored  by  McKee  Baking  Company  and  a  gift 
shop  conclude  your  tour  of  the  aquarium.  Once 
you're  back  outside,  vendors,  unicyclists  and 
for  your  attention  and  contribu- 


Check  it  out  for  yourself.  The  Tennessee 
Aquarium  is  located  in  Ross's  Landing  Park  and 
Plaza  on  the  banks  of  the  Tennessee  River  in 
downtown  Chattanooga.  It  is  open  each  day  from 
10  a.m.  until  6  p.m.  Admission  is  $8.00  (no 
student  discounts).  For  further  information,  call 
266-3467.

Dr.  Bill  Wohlers  pensively  chews 
]ii  apiece  of  watermelon  while; 
ng  out  its  seeds.    He  nods.     He 
agrees  to  be  interviewed.  He  grins 
iously.    "No  hard  questions, 
though,"  he  pleads. 
Hie  next  day  he's  at  his  office 
ry  serious  at  first.  Then  a  gener- 
ous smile  crinkles  up  the  comers  of 
his  dark  eyes.   The  pastel-colored 
tie  he  wears  lightens  up  his  other- 
wise sober  white-and-grey 
He  runs  his  Finger  through  his  dark

The  real  challenge  he  faces,  how-

e  president  for  Student  Services. 
I  Since  accepting  the  title  in  1988,  he 
has  been  involved  in 
student  life  beyond  the  classrc 
experience." 

Wohlers  is  almost  always  s 
integrating  with  students  during 


People  to  see 


reational  activities  such  as  the  wa- 
termelon feed  and  he's  one  of  this 
year's  Student  Association's  spon- 
sors. He  also  participates  in  review- 
ing and  enforcing  SC's  non-aca- 
demic policies.  According  to 
Wohlers,  this  can  prove  to  be  per- 
plexing since  he's  to  ensure  the 
student's  well  being  while  avoiding 
the  suggestion  of  "Paternalism". 

He  dismisses  the  notion  that  his 
role  merely  deals  with  discipline. 
With  prudent  idealism  he  describes 
his  goal  as  being  the  students'  wel- 
fare. The  students  are  free  to  come 
to  his  office,  he  says,  with  any  prob- 
lems they  may  have.  "I'll  try  my 
best  to  solve  them  [problems],  I'm 
here  to  give  advice,  too." 

He  moves  his  hands  for  emphasis 
before  resting  them  on  the  armchair 
and  outstretches  his  long  legs.  He 
speaks  slowly,  as  if  weighing  each 
word.  "My  job,"  he  says,  "is  to 
oversee..."  He  thinks  foramoment 
with  joined  fingers  against  his  lip. 
"It's  to  assess  the  non-academic, 
non  financial  areas  of  student  life." 

And  the  assemblies  which  he  co- 
ordinates have  a  lot  to  do  with  en- 
riching education  and  culture. 
Wohlers  asserts  that  because  people 
go  in  so  many  directions  during  the 
week,  they  rarely  have  the  opportu- 
nity to  band  together.  "Assemblies 
give  us  a  chance  to  get  together,"  he 
says,  as  his  fingers  intertwine  and 
firmly  lock,  "giving  us  more  a  sense 
of  community."

Krisi  Clark  wasn't  bom  in  a  log 
cabin;  she  grew  up  in  a  two  story 
brick  house  in  Madison,  Tennessee. 
She  didn't  make  stump  speeches  or 
use  negative  campaigning  to  get  to 
her  tiny  window  office  in  the  student 
center;  she  worked  her  way  there 
with  a  successful  stint  as  SCSA  so- 
cial vice  president  last  year  and  ex- 
perience in  student  associations  dat- 
ing back  from  the  sixth  grade. 

Krisi  Clark  didn't  have  a  cam- 
paign theme  like  "Four  More  Years" 
or  "A  Time  for  Change"  last  year. 
Instead,  she  pledged  a  "commitment 
to  service"  which  she  intends  to  keep 
in  several  different  ways  this  year. 
Her  service  to  the  Southern  College 
student  body  will  take  on  a  multi- 
faceted  role  as  she  combines  her  so- 
cial experience  of  last  year  with  lead- 


ership of  the  student  senate  and  other 
campus  activities. 

Krisi  Clark  has  no  lack  of  a  "vi- 
sion thing".  As  she  looks  forward 
into  the  1 992- 1 993  school  year,  she 
breaks  into  a  speech  that  is  simply 
Kennedyesqe.  "This  will  be  the  year 
of  student  voice  at  Southern  Col- 
lege—" she  trumpets,  "the  voice  of 
an  enthusiastic  school  spirit,  the  voice 
of  the  students  through  SCSA  publi- 
cation like  Accent,  and  the  voice  of 
the  students  to  the  administration 
through  me." 

Clark  emphasizes  that  her  role 
this  year  relies  on  students  who  are 
willing  to  make  their  needs  known, 
either  to  her  or  through  their  local 
senator.  "I  think  the  senate  is  a  good 
way  to  hear  what  the  students  are 
thinking,"  she  says.  "After  all,  that's 
what  it's  [here  for." 

Meanwhile,  there  are  SCSA  pro- 
grams to  look  after.  Committee  of 
100  and  College  Board  meetings  to 
attend,  and  habits  to  change  after  a 
year  cooped  up  in  the  social  activi- 

"After  being  social  vice  president 
for  a  year,  I've  finally  decided  to  be 
social  myself,"  she  admits  with  a 
smile  that  seems  too  sincere  to  be 
presidential.  "1  think  the  president 
should  be  available  to  her  fellow 
students.  She  should  be  seen." 

Krisi  Clark  is  no  lame  duck.  She 
intends  to  serve — not  be  served.  And 
as  this  year  takes  flight,  she  hopes  to 
take  this  student  body  higher  and 
farther  than  it  had  ever  flown  before.

While  some  may  think  of  the  As 
sislant  Chaplain  as  a  glorified . 
lary,  Libby  Riano  doesn't.   " 
am  involved  in  planning  and 

nizing."  -.hu  says.  "Bui  more  impor- 
tantly, I  am  involved  in  helping  to 
build  up  and  equip  the  'saints'." 

As  Assistant  Chaplain,  Riano 
plans  the  CARE,  vespers,  sabbath 
schools,  and  also  the  student  week  of 
prayer.  This  may  seem  like  an  awful 
lot  of  responsibility,  but  she  truly 
enjoys  it.  "There's  something  magi- 
cal about  serving  and  working  for 
others,"  she  says  from  behind  her 
tinydeskintheCAREoffice.  "Itcan 
radically  change  you." 

According  to  Libby,  her  resume 
detailing  two  years  of  task  force  work 


Libby  Riano,  Assistant  Chapl; 

in  the  Florida  conference  is  not  what 
qualities  her  for  this  role.  "I  am  a 
common  person  willing  to  let  God 
use  me,  and  that  is  really  the  only 
thing  that  qualifies  me  as  Assistant 
Chaplain,"  It  is  a  duty  that  she  takes 
very  seriously  as  well.  She  explains, 
"I  am  responsible  for  dealing  with 
the  apples  of  God's  eye,  I  am  en- 
trusted with  the  taskof  pointing  all  to 
Jesus  and  His  agape  love.  I  see  it  as 
a  sacred  rule,  after  all,  these  are  lives 
purchased  by  Christ." 

Riano  does  not  intend  to  keep  her 
role  as  a  servant  to  herself.  "CARE 
Ministries  will  provide  all  students 
with  opportunities  of  service  on  and 
off  campus,  so  they  can  experience 
first  hand  the  true  joy  of  service."

Campus  Ministries  DirectorGary 
Collins  wants  SC  Students  to  "get 
dirty"  this  year.  Campus  Ministries 
will  focus  on  the  students'  involve- 
ment with  each  other  and  especially 
people  in  the  community. 

Collins  wants  students  to  get  out 
and  meet  the  people  in  the  commu- 
nity, be  a  part  of  their  lives,  and  make 
them  a  part  of  the  students'  lives. 
"God  doesn't  want  [Southern]  to  be 
secluded,"  he  said. 

Campus  Ministries  is  planning 
activities  that  will  help  students  meet 
the  homeless  and  others  less  fortu- 
nate than  they. 

Collins  is  not  new  to  Campus 
Ministries.   Previously  he  has  been

plication  for  CM  director  because  of  I 
Collins'  experience  with  the  Steps  to  I

So,yousee,lhiscolumn  is  little  more 
than  a  rough  draft  of  my  letter  to  Nok 
in  Thailand.  .  . 

Icecream  and  watermelon.  It's  amaz- 
ing how  many  will  come  out.  look- 
ing their  absolute  coolest,  just  for 
free  dairy  products  and  fruit.  Appar- 
ently, one  freshman  took  the  sign, 
"Softball  and  ice  Cream  Feed"  just  a 
little  too  literally.  I  heard  him  asking 
when  the  softballs  would  be  served. 
.  .  Now  how  many  of  you  actually 
have  the  slightest  clue  who  won  the 
faculty/student  game?  For  the  an- 
swer, see  SPORTS.  .  .While  we're 


on  the  ball  diamond,  isn'tit amazing 
how  many  public  AtlantaBraves  fans 
there  are  now?  Those  of  you  who 
purchase  your  first  Braves'  caps 
within  the  last  year  should  be 
ashamed.  Where  were  you  in  the 
'80s?.  .  .a  rather  interesting  sign  in 
the  snack  section  of  the  cafe:  "Chips- 
past  expiration  date-  still  good." 
Hmmm.  .  .  I  suppose  the  big  news 
right  now  is  classes.  Roll  call  is  al- 
ways interesting.  In  Dr.  McArthur's 
government  class,  1 1  students  re- 
sponded to  their  names  with  a  "Right 
here,"  a  "yeah."  or  a  "yup."  1 8  just 
held  up  their  hands.  What  does  all 
this  mean?  Probably  nothing.  .  .  I 
find  myself  returning  from  foreign 
service  with  this  incredible  eager- 
ness to  study  again.  But  I'm  sure  I'll 
get  over  it.  .  .  I  often  wonder  why 
those  at  Southern  ONLY  for  classes 
are  here  at  all.  $1 1,160  for  classes? 
You  are  being  cheated  by  none  other 
than  yourself.  The  word  is  that  em- 
ployers are  turned  off  by  4.0  GPAs. 


Give  them  a  3.3,  slap  a  list  like  this- 
S  .A.  v  ice.  Destiny  member  two  years, 
Orchestra  member,  Sabbath  School 
coordinator.  Business  Club  member, 
senator,  Accent  ad  manager,  student 
missionary  to  Korea-  on  their  big, 
wooden  interview  desks.  In  many 
cases,  this  is  what  they  want  to  see. . 
Not  here  to  get  involved?  Well,  at 
least  be  paying  the  extra  bucks  for 
programs  that  the  big  universities 
cannot  offer:  chapels,  week  of  prayer, 
dorm  worships,  vespers.  Or  justify 
the  tuition  by  your  desire  to  study 
and  socialize  in  a  Christian  atmo- 
sphere with  Christian  faculty  and 
Christian  men  and  women.  Pay  the 
money  for  these  reasons.  But  please 
don't  shell  out  $11,160  solely  for 
classes.  If  you're  paying  all  this 
money  just  to  pick  up  a  degree,  then 
why  are  you  here?  Why  not  go  to 
UTC?  Save  your  money. . .  Okay,  I'd 
like  to  take  a  count  of  those  who 
ARE  NOT  getting  married  in  De- 
cember or  May.  .  .In  regard  to  our 


new  editorial  page:  if  the  Accent 
were  a  ship,  would  it  be  learning  to  I 
the  right  or  left?  Dial  #3234  wiih 
your  opinion.  (Each  call  costs  $.50').

the  hair,  jewelry,  and  worship  pnli-  i 
cies:  you've  lost  your  pony  tail,  your 
silver  bracelet,  some  of  your  free 
time;  Phillip  Fong  of  Miami  has  lost  j 
his  house  to  a  hurricane.  Isn't  it  about 
time  we  leam  to  channel  that  indi-

over  a  guy  half  your  size  at  the  SA  I 
"Fiestaval":  That  hurt!!  My  August  i| 
Person-of-the-month  is  Men's  As- 
sistant Dean  Stan  Hobbs,  whose  he- 
roics in  the  outfield  more  than  atone 
for  his  struggles  on  the  fairway.  (No  I 
one  gets  his  money's  worth  on  the 
golf  course  quite  like  Hobbs.)  My 
sincerest  congratulations  to  you,

brother,  please  don't  name  him 


NEWS  OF  THE  WEIRD 


LEAD  STORY 

— The  Center  for  Marine  Conser- 
vation reported  in  May  that  items 
that  had  washed  up  on  beaches  from 
recent  ocean  dumpings  included:  a 
refrigerator  in  North  Carolina,  a 
washing  machine  in  California,  a  car 
in  Delaware,  medical  syringes  in 
double  the  quantity  from  1990,  59 
packages  of  debris  from  15  different 
cruise  lines,  and  a  container  the  size 
of  a  semi-lrailer — full  of  melting  ice 
cream.  The  average  weight  of  all 
trash  collected  per  mile  of  beach  was 
667  pounds. 

— The  Philadelphia  Inquirer  re- 
ported in  June  on  the  local  "Silent 
Meeting  Club, "consisting  of  several 
people  who  gather  at  various  spots 
around  town  and  make  it  a  point  not 
to  speak  to  each  other.  Founder  John 
Hudak  said  his  inspiration  was  his 
observation  that  people  often  feel 
obligated  to  talk  when  they  really 
have  nothing  to  say,  such  as  at  par- 
ties, and  wondered  how  nice  it  would 
be  "to  have  a  group  of  people  where 
you  wouldn't  have  to  talk." 

COMPELLING  EXPLANA- 
TION 

— Matthew  Stong,  a  George 
Washington  University  student,  was 


arrested  in  Alexandria,  Va.,  in  June 
with  90  handguns  jammed  into  three 
duffel  bags,  "it's  not  like  1  am  a 
criminal,"  Strong  told  The  Washing- 
ton Post.  "I  scored  1,400  on  my 
SAT." 

UH-OH 

— A  Dallas  grand  jury  decided  in 
June  not  to  indict  the  five  police 
officers  who  arrested  Roberto 
Longorio  for  firing  a  shotgun  intohis 
ex-girlfricnd's  home.  After  chasing 
Longorio's  truck  through  the  streets 
for  25  minutes,  the  officers  shot 
Longorio  ninety  times,  firing  a  total 
of  116  shots  at  him. 

— Police  tried  to  prevent  the  cer- 
emonial opening  in  January  of  the 
religious  festival  of  St.  Vincent  near 
Manganeses  de  la  Polvorosa,  Spain, 
which  calls  for  dropping  a  live  goat 
from  a  church  belfry.  Even  though 
the  goat  falls  to  a  tarpaulin  and  walks 
away  safely,  animal  rights  activists 
had  obtained  an  injunction  calling 
for  a  $5,000  fine  per  goat  dropped. 
In  retaliation  for  the  injunction,  the 
1,300  townspeople  attacked  police 
and  the  journalists  who  had  de- 
scended upon  the  festival. 

— A  man  and  woman  living  near 


Peshawar,  Pakistan,  were  executed 
in  June  by  the  man's  father  accord- 
ing to  custom,  because  they  lived 
together  without  benefit  of  marriage. 
A  statement  released  by  he  local  vil- 
lage council  read,  "The  couple  was 
executed  so  that  nobody  dare  in- 
dulge in  such  activities  in  the  fu- 

— The  Florida  Board  of  Medicine 
suspended  the  practice  of  Dr.  Suzanne 
Peoples  in  June,  declaring  her  delu- 
sional. The  board  found  that  Peoples 
believes  all  illness  is  caused  by  a 
microorganism  that  is  treatable  by 
vitamins  and  sessions  with  an  "ion 
machine,"  which  looks  like  a  hair 
dryer  with  a  red  light  bulb  on  it. 

LEAST  COMPETENT  PER- 
SON 

— Ron  Vanname,  21,  was  sen- 
tenced to  a  week  in  jail  in  Fort  Myers, 
Fla.,  in  July  after  pleading  no  contest 
to  making  an  obscene  phone  call. 
Vanname  make  the  call  to  the  local 
91 1  number,  all  calls  to  which  auto- 
matically show  the  caller's  address. 
Squad  cars  surrounded  him  while  he 
was  still  in  the  phone  booth.

sun  most  of  the  time  for  the  last  four 
months — I  asked  them  how  people 
tell  them  apart  and  one  of  them  said, 
"I  have  a  fuller  face!";  and  another 
set  of  twins  from  Green  Bay,  Wis. — 
Curly  -blonded  Shelley  and  Sherry 
Magray— love  their  "yuppy-type" 
glasses  but  there 's  no  way  I'll  be  able 
to  tell  them  apart;  and,  of  course, 
effervescent  Leslie  Brooks  (Super

now  married  to  Jeremy  Stoner  (care- 
taker of  Biology  Dept.'s  aquarium 
plus  SC  security  officer). 

There  seem  to  be  a  lot  of  white 
cars  around  this  year.  In  just  tow 
parking  lots  I  counted  18  white  cars. 
The  news  from  the  automobile  world 
is  that  the  color  for  1 993  is  going  to 
bv  green.  All  the  carcompanies  will 
be  pushing  everything  from  hunter 
green  to  grass  green  to  the  teal  greens 
to  very  light  yellowish-greens.  Evi-

OK — let's  see  who's  streaking  by 
here  on  their  way  to  Brock.  Here's  a 
determined  April  Pillsbury  (a  total 


vision  in  yellow)  on  her  way  to  Span- 
ish, Merwyn  Krun  from  California 
on  his  way  to  Eng.  101.  Wendy 
Boyd  in  her  mullberry  shirt— she's 
alsogoingtoSpanish.  Well,  hereare 
two  sights:  Christa  Raines  from 
Nashville  in  Red-plaid  pants  and 
Sheila  Bennett  from  Memphis  in  se- 
quined  flowers  and  things  glistening 
on  a  long  T-Shirt  —both  on  their 
way  to  Eng.  101.  Scott  Flemmer 
(from  Lawrenceburg,  TN)  in  a  multi- 
blocked  shirt  and  Christy  tpes  (all  in 
purple)  on  her  way  to  Western  Civi- 
lization. Oh,  one  last  interview  with 
Jaclynn  Griffin  from  Louisiana(she's 
worried  about  the  hurricane  effects) 
all  color-coded  with  her  fuschia  shirt 
and  matching  Esprit  tote  bag — she's 
just  observing  "confused"  people 
stream  by!  All  of  these  students 
certainly  ought  to  brighten  up  their 
respective  classrooms. 

In  spite  of  the  hot,  muggy  day, 
there  are  touches  of  autumn  here  and

gums  are  shedding  bright  varnished

red  leaves  already,  the  crepe  myrtles 
are  blooming  like  crazy  and  golden- 
rods  (many  species)  are  blossoming 
along  the  fences  and  roads. 

What  else?  Well,  I  notice  by  the 
magazines  and  newspaper  ads  that 
women's  skirts  this  fall  are  very  long. 
This  ought  to  bring  unmitigated  joy 
and  relief  to  all  women's  deans  who 
have  been  "advising"  dormitory 
women  about  skirt  lengths  for  quite 
sometime.  And,  also,  flowers  are 
out!  So,  a  short,  flowered  dress  is 
doubly  out  of  fashion — a  total  whack- 
out!  But,  who  cares?  All  of  this  will 
bring,  in  a  month  or  so,  wails  such  as

Everyone  is  perky  and  eager  to  be-

school-year.  Someone  just  passed 
by  wearing  a  white  T-shirt  with 
"Count  on  It"  emblazoned  on  the 
back.  That  just  about  sums  up  the 
first  day  of  college  along  the  prom- 
enade.

Accent  introduces  the  contest  of  the  century 


Accent  in  only  its  second  issue  an- 
nounces the  contest  of  the  year:  Cre- 
ate-A-Date. 

Create-A-Date  is  a  simple 
way  to  encourage  a  widespread  ac- 
tivity, and  elevate  it  to  mythical  pro- 
portions. Creative  dates  have  been  a 
way  of  life  at  Southern  for  years,  but 
never  have  they  been  rewarded  so 
well.  The  grand  prize  includes  an 
evening  in  a  limosine,  free  dinner  at 
a  swank  restaraunt,  and  box  seats  for 
a  show  at  the  Tivioli  Theater.  Also 
offered  in  this  grand  prize  melee  are 
twelve  roses  for  the  lady,  free  hair- 


styles, and  a  tuxedo  and  an  evening 
gown  to  suit  the  winning  couple.  In 
a  word:  the  reward  for  the  most 
creative  date  between  now  and  Octo- 
ber 15  will  be  the  most  exotic  date 
ever  offered  by  Accent. 

The  only  thing  contestants 
have  to  do  is  actually  go  out  on  a 
creative  dale,  then  send  a  story  of  the 
date  as  well  as  a  picture  of  the  toast. 
No  length  is  required  for  the  written 
entry.  The  photo  is  simply  a  way  to 
make  sure  the  date  was  actually  taken, 
as  well  as  a  means  of  capturing  the 
auraoftheoccaision.  Photos  will  be 


returned  after  the  contest. 

Create-A-Date  is  closed  to 
all  Accent  staff,  by  whom  entries 
will  be  judged.  Results  will  be 
announced  in  the  October  29  issue 
Of  Accent. 


Prizes  include: 

-  Limo  ride  from  LimoOne 

-  Tux  and  Gown  rental  from

Hugging  and  Kissing 
All  Over  The  Place 


e  for  a  personal 
lanNK.  That's  right, 

a  Nurse's  Kid. 

What  does  it  mean  10  be  a 
nurse's  kid?  It  means  your  mom 
walks  faster  than  a  Concorde  jet.  It 
means  she  is  gone  all  hours  of  the  day 
or  night.  And  it  means  she  is  full  of 
wonderfully  gory  stories — stories 
about  open-heart  surgeries,  appendec- 
tomies, and  C-section  births. 

Usually  when  my  mom  goes 
inlD  detail  about  different  surgeries  I 
find  myself  gagging  at  the  thought  of 
mmehalantly  splitting  a  person  wide 
open  and  rearranging  things.  But  last 
weekend  Mom  told  me  another 
story — a  story  i  liked  so  much,  I  fell  I 
jusl  had  to  pass  it  on. 

An  elderly  woman  was  in  the 
hospital,  terminally  ill  with  breast 
cancer,  Her  husband  of  61  years  and 
her  daughter  were  crying.  But  their 
tears  weren't  necessarily  for  her 
condition. 

You  see,  Jake,  the  husband, 
was  crying  because  he  thought  that 
after  6 1  years,  his  wife  didn't  love 


him  anymore.  There  had  been  little 
spats,  nagging  here  and  there,  but  this 
was  serious — more  serious  than  breast 

As  cancer  had  tightened  its 

gnp  on  the  woman,  she  had  become 
even  less  cooperative  and  had  tried  to 
push  Jake  even  further  away — a  sad 
but  common  aspect  of  the  dying 
process. 

The  daughter  had  arrived  that 
day  from  Naples,  Florida,  adding  the 
news  of  her  mother's  impending  death 
to  that  of  a  home  ravaged  in  Hurricane 
Andrew.  "1  can  accept  what  has 
happened  except  for  one  thing,"  the 
daughter  told  my  mother,  "The  fact 
thai  she's  dying  with  Jake  thinking 
she  doesn't  love  him  anymore." 

Mom  encouraged  her  to  be 
honest.  To  tell  her  mother  that  she 
simply  had  to  tell  Jake  she  loved 
him — if  it  was  the  last  thing  she  did. 

"Momma,"  the  daughter  said, 
"Jake  is  out  in  the  hall  crying  his  eyes 
out  because  he  thinks  you  don't  love 
him  anymore." 

"But  I  don't,"  the  woman 
replied  sharply.  On  the  edge  of 


eternity,  she  wasn't  about  to  give  in. 

The  girl  broke  into  tears. 
That's  where  Mom  stepped  in. 

"For  Becky's  sake,  would  you 
tell  Jake  you  love  him?"  she  said.  "It 
hurts  her  to  see  him  crying." 


Thet 


ing  grunt  in  return.  Mom  left  to  bring 
Jake  in  to  visit  the  dying  woman.  She 
left  them  alone. 

A  few  hours  later  when  she 
stopped  by  to  check  on  the  family,  a 
nurse  stopped  her  before  the  door,  "I 
wouldn't  go  in  there  right  now,"  the 
nurse  said  with  a  smile.  "There's  a 
whole  lot  of  hugging  and  kissing 
going  on." 

A  whole  lot  of  kissing  going 
on,  after  61  years  of  nagging  and  on 
the  threshold  of  death's  door. 

Isolation  is  a  trait  that  is  not 
only  common  to  the  dying.  Everyone 
at  one  lime  wafts  off  into  isolation — 
often  when  they  need  a  friend  the 
most.  It  is  sad  to  think  that  every  day 
on  this  Christian  campus,  people  are 
isolating  themselves — sadder  still  to 
think  of  those  suffering  because  of 
their  friends'  isolation. 


After  all,  isn't  love  the  flag 
that  Christians  wave  highest  above 
their  heads?  Isn't  it  the  greatest  word 
we  use  to  describe  our  God? 

Let's  stop  kidding  ourselves 
and  stan  admitting  that  pain  is  all 
around  us,  and  the  only  way  we'll 
survive  it  is  to  buck  the  norm  and  stan 
reaching  out.  In  this  giant  issue  where  | 
Accent  unveils  its  Create-a-date 
contest,  I  find  other  challenges  to  our 
creativity  beyond  jusi  a  hot  date.  Me 
must  find  ways  to  give  in  a  love  a 
little.     If  we  really  knew  how  to  love  I 
there  wouldn't  be  any  comers  on  this   f 
campus  to  hide  in. 

No  eyes  would  sweep  the        j 
sidewalks  on  the  way  to  classes 
instead  of  looking  up  and  smiling 
'hello.' 

And  there  would  be  "hugging 
and  kissing  all  over  the  place." 

(And  that's  just  what  a  m 
would  have  ordered.) 


Dr.  Coolldge  «  SCSA  Treasurer  In 


Accent  has  a  new  guardian 
ihis  year  Dr.  Herbert  Coolidge. 

Many  may  wonder  what  a 
business  professor  thinks  he's  doing 
as  the  faculty  sponsor  of  Accent. 
" "My  principle  responsibility  as 
sponsor,"  Coolidge  told  me  in  his 
slow,  thoughtful  drawl,  "Is  to  keep 
the  president  of  Southern  College 
from  shutting  down  Accent  and  firing 
the  editor— and  otherwise  provide 
help  as  needed." 

As  newspaper  sponsor, 
Cooltdge  looks  nver  the  stories  on 
Tuesday  before  the  paper  is  "put  to 
bed"— that  is,  when  the  Final  copy  is 
saved  onto  disks  so  the  staff  can  get 
to  bed.  He  looks  for  "surprises", 
gives  suggestions  on  errors  thai  may 
have  been  overlooked,  and  otherwise

Coolidge  worked  with 

Accent  as  business  managei  exactly 
3(1  years  ago.   Back  then  Accent  was 
tucked  into  the  cubbyhole  ai  the  end 
of  the  basement  in  Lynn  Wood  Hall 
(next  door  to  Strawberry  Festival's 
present  offices).  When  he  thinks  of 
I  lie  di  I  fueiices  between  then  and 
now,  he  chuckles  with  that  deep, 
slow  laugh  that  those  in  his  classes 
are  so  well-accustomed  to.  "The  big 
argument  back  then  was  whether  we 
could  afford  an  electric  typewriter  to 
work  with,"  he  recalls,  "The  $225 
question."  (The  big  $2200  question 
at  Accent  this  year  is  whether  or  not 
to  buy  anew  Macintosh.) 

After  working  with  Accent  in 
'62-'63.  Coolidge  went  on  to  become 
SCSA  Treasurer  and  SCSA  Presi- 
dent. Now  he's  back  where  he 

"I  don't  want  any  surprises," 
said  Coolidge  at  Accent's  First 
meeting.  Check  this  picture  out

low  about  an  additional  $3  million 
ges?    Now  add  $400,000  in 

eferred  giving  pledges  for  a  total  of 
mer  5  million  dollars. 

Although  these  Figures  may 
Ruind  like  part  of  the  National  bud- 
let,  they  actually  sum  up  contribu- 
tons  to  Southern  College  Develop- 
lienl  last  year.  Jack  McCIarty,  vice 
President  for  Development,  said  his 
lepartment  "enjoyed  a  banner  year" 
li  199101992.  The  ratio  of 
Hundraising  cost  to  dollars  rasied  was 
In  all-time  low  for  Southern.  This 
Jieans  it  cost  $  .08  to  raise  $1.00, 
which  McCIarty  says  is  an  excellent 
[ratio  according  to  fund-raising  Stan- 
Hards.  These  donations  came  from  a 
"wide  spectrum  of  givers,"  includ- 
ing individuals,  foundations,  andcor- 
moralions. 


So  where  will  this  money  go? 
The  two  main  projects  for  1 99 1- 1 992 
were  the  Century  II  Scholarship  En- 
dowment fund  and  the  new  Science 
Center.  The  Endowment  fund  in- 
creased to  new  heights,  gaining 
$900,000  for  a  total  of  $7.6  million 
cash,  said  McCIary.  Approximately 


eight  years  ago  the  fund  was  at  only 
$750,000,  he  said.  After  ten  percent 
of  the  interest  is  put  back  into  the 
principal  to  offset  inflation,  student 
scholarships  form  the  remaining 
earnings.  McCIarty  says  this  method 
is  wise  because  "Then  you  have 
money  coming  to  the  students  in- 
definitely year  after  year."  The  bad 

tremely  low  right  nos  which  will 
significantly  hurt  scholorship  funds. 
"We  are  doing  out  best  to  maximize 
returns,  but  the  recession  has  slowed 
[interest]  earnings,"  he  said. 


The  fund-raising  goal  for  the 
Science  Center  is  $3.9  million. 
McCIarty  said  $3,634  million  has 
been  received  toward  that  goal.  "We 
want  to  raise  the  rest  of  the  money  as 
quickly  as  possible  so  we  can  see  the 
science  building  become  a  reality 
soon."  Architectural  plans  are  un- 
derway for  the  new  building,  which 
will  be  built  on  the  old  Tabernacle 
siteneartheConferenceCenter.  "Ide- 
ally, I  would  like  to  see  the  building 
in  use  in  the  fall  semester  of  1994," 
said  McCIarty.

It's  sad  to  see  the  trailor 
park  go,  since  they  are 
going  to  turn  it  into  a 
parking  lot. 

Jim  Miles,  resident 


This  fall,  Southern  College  plans  to 
develop  "new"  married  student  hous- 
ing which  would  take  the  place  of  the 
trailor  park. 

The  "new"  married  student 
housing  would  consist  of  three  units. 
The  First  unit  would  have  one  and 
two  berooms,  the  second,  all  two 
bedrooms,  and  the  third  unit,  two  and 
three  bedrooms.  These  "new"  hous- 
ing units  would  be  located  behind  the 
Ohi  o  Apartments  j  ust  across  the  street 
from  the  Collegedale  Church. 


Dale  Bidwell,  Vice  Presideni 
for  Finance  says,  "One  of  the  main 
reasons  why  we  are  developing  these 
units  is  the  utilities  in  the  trailor  park 
all  needed  to  be  replaced.  The  esti- 
mated cost  of  replaceing  these  utili- 
ties would  cost  the  same  as  building 
three  new  units,  $1.5  million.  These 
units  would  have  available  washers 
and  dryers  in  the  basements." 


Bela  Kobor,  a  resident  in  the 
trailor  park,  does  not  look  forward  to 
the  move.  "No,  I  wouldn't  like  to 
move,"  she  said.  "It's  my  own  quiet 
place  and  its  much  safer  over  here 
than  it  would  be  by  busy  Southern 
College." 

Another  resident,  Jim  Miles 
says,  "It's  sad  to  see  the  trailor  park 
go,  since  they  are  going  to  turn  it  into 
a  parking  lot.  The  new  units  will  be 
nice  if  you  don't  have  a  family,  but 
since  I  do,  it's  better  over  here  in  the 
trailor  park  because  of  the  privacy."

New  faces  on  campus    Southern  has  a  Legacy 


Mary  Ann  Roberts  comes  to 
the  Nursing  Department  from 
Andrews  University  where  she 
received  both  her  B.S.  and  M.S. 
She  brings  years  of  experience 
in  teaching,  as  well  as  hospital 
nursing.  She  will  be  teaching 
obstetrics  and  medical-surgical. 

Roberts  easily  waxes 
eloquently  on  the  world  of 
obstetrics.  "It's  a  fun  area  to 
teach.  It's  fun  because  there  is 
birth  and  all  the  joy  that  goes 
with  it,"  she  said.  Then  she 
idded,  "But  when  there  is  an 
llness  it's  very,  very  sad." 


Bert  Poolcy  joined  the  faculty  in 
May  as  the  Chief  Accounlant.  A 
native  of  the  Northwest,  he  re- 
ceived his  masters  in  business 
administration  from  Portland 
State  University  in  Oregon.  He 
has  worked  as  a  treasurer  in  the 
Montana  Conference,  Alaska 
Mission,  and  most  recently,  the 
Ohio  Conference,  as  well  as 
Laurelwood  Academy  in  Gaston, 
Oregon.  His  daughter,  Brenda, 
is  a  senior  broadcasting  major. 


Glenda  Davidson  has  returned 
to  the  nursing  department  where 
she  taught  in  the  mid-seventies. 
She  received  an  MS.N.  in  child 
development  with  an  emphasis 
in  education  from  Troy  State 
University  in  Troy,  Alabama. 
She  then  became  an  assistant 
professor  at  the  Troy  State  Uni- 
versity, School  of  Nursing. 

Are  students  of  the  nine- 
ties very  difficult  from  those  in 
the  seventies?  "They're  a  lot 
younger,"  she  said  with  a  smile. 
Actually,  she  finds  the  students 
fo  today  to  be  more  sophisti- 
cated. "The  seventies  group  was 
a  much  more  naive  group,"  she 
explained.  "Because  so  few  had 
cars,  more  were  campus  bound. 
Hey,  there  was  no  Hamilton 
Place  Mall,  and  Ooltewah  was 
just  a  wide  spot  in  the  road." 


Dr.  Ron  duPreez,  (pronounced 
do-PRAY),  a  candidate  for  a 
Ph.  D  in  Religion  at  Andrews, 
joins  the  Religion  Department 
as  Assistant  Professor  of  Reli- 
gion. He  holds  a  D.  Min.  in 
Mission  Studies,  an  M.A.  in 
Education,  a  Master  of  Divin-

from  Andrews  University).  He 
has  also  pastored  and  taught  in

Dr.  du  Preez's  favorite 
avocation  is  archaeology.  He 
has  been  on  successful  digs 
throughout  Israel  and  Jordan,

It  comes  as  no  surprise  to  most  stu- 
dents that  Southern  College  has  a 
legacy;  after  more  than  a  century  of 
education,  any  good  school  would. 
What  does  surprise  most  students  is 
that  they  can  have  a  very  special  part 
in  continuing  to  create  that  legacy. 
This  Legacy  is  the  literary 
magazine  put  out  by  the  Writer's 
Club.  Of  course,  no  great  legacy  was 
created  overnight,  and  neither  was 
this  one.  In  the  1960's  when  Lynn 
Sauls  (now  chairman  of  the  journal- 
ism department)  was  the  sponsor  of 
the  magazine,  the  Legacy  was  a  part 
of  the  Student  Association,  much  as 
the  Acceni  and  Southern  Memories 

In  the  late  1960's,  however, 

the  Student  Association  decided  there 
wasn't  enough  school  interest  to  con- 
tinue sponsoring  the  magazine,  and

stands  alone.  All  around  him 
iudents  are  talking  and  laughing  to- 
other. His  gaze  is  focused  straight 
lead.  Noone  pays  attention  to  him. 
o  one  wonders  why  he  is  the  only 
tanding.  He  has  become  like  a 
.art  of  the  decor. 

Us  name  is  Oscar.  He'sfrom 
ermany,  and  is  waiting  for  his  girl- 
o  arrive — from  Germany. 
Oscar  and  his  girlfriend  will

)  a  new  co-ed  dorm!)  These  two 
ihe  new  A&P  models.  However, 
"lab  partner"  has  not  yet  arrived, 
id  that  is  the  cause  of  Oscar's  lone- 
Everyday  Osair  stands  wait- 
lig.  He  has  to  endure  the  hum  ill. iii  i  Ki 
6fhu\  iny  no  skin  (except  on  his  ears 
Ind  fingers),  no  hair,  and  only  one 
eyeball  (someone  dropped  his  other 
t\t  jnd  shattered  it!).  Lab  after  lab, 
Itudents  poke  at  his  muscles  and  rip 
Bpen  his  chest  cavity  to  explore  his 
Interna!  organs.  Day  afterday,  Oscar 
s  used  lor  lectures  and  demonstra- 


tions, then  he's  abandoned.  What's 
a  guy  to  do!? 

Soon,  though,  Oscar's  girl- 
friend will  arrive.  Anatomy  and 
Physiology  students  will  get  to  know 
this  unique  couple  very  well.  (That 
is,  if  the  students  want  to  make  the 
grade!)  With  these  additional  hu- 
man models.  Dr.  Ekkens  has  gener- 
ously reduced  the  numberof  muscles 
that  students  have  to  dissect  on  the 
cats  to  one-half  the  number  that  last 
year's  students  dealt  with. 

Oscar  expects  his  girlfriend 
to  arrive  any  time  now.  At  least  that 
is  what  he  and  Dr.  Ekkens  are  hop- 
ing. The  female  model  was 
backordered  (Germany  apparently 
doesn't  have  the  overabundance  of 
young  ladies  like  SOME  SCHOOLS 
here  in  the  U.S.),  soshedidn'tmake 
her  August  arrival  as  expected.

add  that  he  hopes  to  return  to  a  full 
teaching  load  as  soon  as  possible. 

The  soon-to-be  doctor  states 
that  his  past  two  years  as  a  student 
have  vastly  changed  his  approach  to

Thai  supply-side  economics  doesn't 

work  ib  iin-  =1 of  all  falsehoods. 

Lamentably,  Americans  have  been 
exposed  10  a  continual  and  unprec- 
edented campaign  of 
"disinformation",  as  Paul  CraigRob- 
erts  says,  against  Ronald  Reagan  and 
bis  economic  policies.  The  gap  be- 
tween emperical  evidence  and  what 
the  public  believes  is  abounding. 
Why  do  Clinton  and  uiher  Demo 
crals  so  attack  Reagan  and  his  presi- 
dency? Stanley  Greenberg,  political 
consultant  to  Clinton  says  that  |g 
"challenge  the  conservative  hege- 
mony, Democrats  need  to  define  the

vative  governance  for  middle

can  loosen  the  Republican's  hold  on 
middle  America. 

Was  Reaganomics  intended 
to  favor  the  rich  at  the  expense  of  the 
poor?  No!  During  Reagan's  eight 
years  in  office  only  one  tax  bill, 
ERTA,  lowered  taxes  on  upper-in- 
come individuals,  The  whole  idea 
behind  Reaganomics  was  to  reduce 
the  government's  involvement  with 
the  burdensome  government  regula- 
tions. The  facts  speak  for  them- 
selves. There  is  no  question  that 
ALL  income  groups  experienced  real 
income  gains  between  1980  and 
1989.  The  rich  got  richer,  but  the 
poor  didn't  get  poorer — everyone  gut 
richer! 

What  about  the  deficit?  Isn't 
Ihe  debt  we  accrued  during  Reagan 
years  going  lo  ruin  us  because  u'ssu 
abnormally  high?  Isn't  a  country 
like  Japan  so  much  better  off?  The

strangely  burdened  with  deb!-  The 
Organisation  for  Economic  Coop- 
eration and  Development  (OECD) 
published  statistics  that  shows  that 
the  United  States  has  no  abnormal 
debt  levels.  Moreover,  corporate 
debt  for  Japan,  the  country  we're  so 
worried  will  take  us  over,  as  percent- 
age of  GDP  was,  in  1990.  191  per- 
cent. Compare  that  to  the  United 
States  with  a  mere  9!  percent. 

In  addition  to  the  deficit  lie, 
lower  class  Americans  didn't  get 
squashed  oul  by  the  rich  in  the  Reagan 
years.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  Ameri- 
cans in  the  lower  half  in  1980  saw 
their  real  incomes  rise  to  the  (op  20 
percent  in  1990.  That  doesn't  sound 
like  getting  poorer  to  me. 

Look  at  the  facts.  Why  did 
every  income  group  experience  real 
income  gains  in  the  ]98Q's?  Be- 
cause Reaganomics  works.  Why, 
then,  do  you  hear  nothing  but  bad 
about  Reagan,  and  thiscountry?  The 
answer  is  simple,  my  friends.  Be- 
cause the  Left  want  to  get  the  vote  of 
middleclass  America,  and  they  know 
ihey  can't  do  it  if  Americans  realize 
how  well  off  they  were  in  the  1980's. 


The  United  States,  after  displayjj 
the  greatest  economic  gain  in  ih-l 
history  of  the  world,  was,  accordin.1 
toReagan'sopponents,  a  failure.  Thijl

Supply-side  means  helping

helping  the  supplier.  But  throwing  a 

big  party  on  some  island  in  the  middle 
ol  the  ocean  is  meaningless  to  me  if 
I  don't  have  »  BOAT  to  gelto  the 
wholeuitair.  Many  Americans  would 
probahly  like  lo  own  another  car,  or 
give  their  children  more  things,  or 


own  a  home — but  just  be

No  job,  no  money. 

These  exclusionary  eco- 
nomic geniuses  will  quote  figures  to 
us  and  preach  the  evils  of  air  bags 
and  fuel  efficient  cars  and  seat  belts

jusl  loved  the  fact  that  Ronald  Reagan 

took  the  restrictions  off  them  so  we 
can  now  pay  somewhere  around  a 
trillion  dollars  to  pay  fortheirmessi. 

Economic  divisiveness  is  noi 
Ihe  answer  to  our  problems  in  this 
country.  Ta*  breaks  for  the  rich  will 
not  salve  the  deficit,  clean  the  air, 
more  evenly  distribute  the  wealth,  or 
stimulate  the  economy  as  a  whole. 

Bill  Clinton  has  said  it  many 
limes;  "George  Bush  does  not  nit 
demand  that  we  can  improve  ohf 
environment  and  help  the  middle 
class  and  the  poor  while  improving 
big  business  and  the  national 
economy  at  the  same  time:" 

America,  sadly  enough,  may 
have  the  largest  economy  in  the  world 
with  the  fewest  people  participating 
in  it  some  day  very  soon. 

I  say  let's  give  boats  to  the

There  is  something  missing  in  this  election.  Or  more 
accurately,  there  is  someone  missing.  There's  no  woman  on  either 
ticket. 

Yes,  I  know  this  is  the  year  of  the  woman  and  lots  for  the 
female  gender  are  most  likely  going  to  be  in  the  United  States' 
Senate  and  the  House  of  Representatives  next  year.  For  all  its 
faults,  (no  offense  West-coast  people,  its  a  Dodger-thing)  Califor- 
nia just  may  elect  TWO  women  to  fill  its  two  Senate  seats. 

And  yes,  Barbara  Jorden  (D-Texas)  did  give  the  best 
speech  at  the  Demoractic  Convention.  Lots  of  women  were  up 
front  in  both  conventions,  in  fact. 

Iknow  its  been  eightlong(verylong)years  since  Geraldine 
Ferraro  was  on  the  Democratic  ticket.  (The  last  and  only  truly 
BALANCED  ticket  in  American  history.)  But  I  still  feel  like 
something  is  missing.  Namely,  AT  LEAST  half  the  wisdom  in 
this  country  is  not  being  used  in  government. 

The  national  discussions  on  abortion,  child  care,  civil 
rights,  peace  (something  men  don't  get  too  well),  and  just  about 
everything  else  would  be  greatly  enhanced  with  the  perspective  of 
a  woman  as  one  of  the  major  presidential  players.

there  was  going  to  be  an  election, 
didn't  care,  didn't  like  either  candi-

The  remaining  5%  are  still  clinging 
to  the  Texas  billionaire,  Ross  Perot. 
In  addition  to  the  gains  for 
Clinton  in  campus  opinion  since  the 
spring,  there  was  a  decided  differ- 
ence in  the  way  males  and  females 
view  the  election.  Although  no  spe- 
cific numbers  were  taken,  women 
overwhelming  support  Bill  Clinton, 
while  the  majority  of  men  will  most 
likely  vote  for  George  Bush  in  No-

■ected  September  15  despite  a  dis-

long  faces?  You're  "sportin'  a  seri- 
ous 'tude",  and  I  want  to  Icam  what 
has  caused  it.  When  Jesus  said  "My 
peace  1  give  unlo  you.  .  .",  you  must 
have  thought  He  sard  "My  fleas  I 
give  unto  you,"  and  declined.  What 
has  caused  the  apathy  here?  Write 
me  at  the  paper  and  let  me  know.  Do 
you  know? 

As  we  sorted  through  the 
commitment  cards,  at  least  half  were 
untouched.  Don'lwecare anymore? 
Now  remember,  we're  only  talking 
to  a  select  group  here.  Unfortu- 
nately, there  is  a  substantial  mem- 
bership in  ihisgroup,  but  there  is  also 
the  oilier  side  of  the  coin.  There  are 


the  hundreds  of  students  who  want  to 
get  involved  and  who  smile  with  the 
peace  that  comes  from  understand- 
ing Jesus  and  what  He  has  done  for 
us,  and  what  He  isdoing  for  us  at  this 
moment.  They  know  a  secret  that 
they're  dying  to  share. 

If  you  even  started  lo  under- 
stand the  magnitude  of  the  secret 
given  to  you.  you  'd  get  excited  ahuut 
it.  Why  do  you  suppose  that  Doug 
Martin  included  the  word  "mercy"  in 
every  topic  title  last  week?  The 
world  is  going  to  hell  in  a  hand  bas- 
ket, but  we  smile  anyway.  We  know 
something  that  the  rest  of  the  world 
doesn't  know.  It  gives  us  as  Chris- 
tians an  opportunity  to  shine  for  Jesus. 

Read  Psalms  27  and  ask  your- 
self how  David,  King  of  a  nation, 
could  say  'You  are  the  strength  of 
my  life,  of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid?' 
As  a  person  who  trusts  in  Jesus  I  join 
an  elite  group:  Paul  who  wrote  most 
of  the  New  Testament  and  preached 
Jesus  to  half  the  world.  Moses,  who 
was  the  highest  star  in  die  Egyptian 
kingdom,  and  poured  out  his  life  for 
a  stubborn  people  pleading  mercy 
forthem.  John  Wesley  who  preached 
before  tens  of  thousands  of  hungry 
people — hungry  for  the  gospel  of 
Jesus  Christ.  Daniel,  the  friend  of 
lions.  The  apostle  John,  who  loved 
hot  oils  baths,  and,  yes,  Doug  Mar- 
tin. How  long  must  Mercy  plead 
with  you  before  you  respond  and 
claim  your  eternal  prize?  We're  not 
talking  about  a  religion  here,  we're 
talking  about  a  relationship.

SC  recruiter,  Doug  Martin 
marked  this  school  year's  first  colle-

nonchalant  humor  and  deep  insights. 

On  each  day  of  September  6 
to  12,  Martin  expanded  on  the  many 
facets  of  God's  mercy. 

Clifton  Brooks  called  Martin 
a  "riveting  speaker."  "He  really 
grasped  my  attention."  The  sopho-

David  Smith  also  felt  that  Martin 
appealed  well  to  the  audience.  "I 
liked  that  it  was  so  positive."  Smith 
said.  "He  nicely  blended  humor  and 
spiritual  insight." 


Indeed, 

"Turn  the  spotlights  off.  my  h Hindi

the  audience  and  silence  Filled  ll

somewhat  angered  when  I  read  "The  View  from  the  Caboose" 
n  the  September  3  issue  of  the  Accent.  Regarding  long  hair  and  jewelry,  it 
d.  "Isn't  it  time  we  learn  to  channel — individuality  and  focus  on  the  real 
ues?"  I  wish  to  respond  to  that  statement. 

I  have  a  hard  time  believing  that  long  hair  is  wrong,  yet  many  seem 
to  feel  the  reverse.  Last  year,  I  had  long  hair.  I  kept  it  clean,  combed,  and 
sneat  as  I  could  without  aponytail.  For  a  while,  the  administration  said  my 
,onytail  was  OK, but  about  amonth  later,  Ireceivedanote  that  said  ponytails

hoice  whether  or  not  one  wants  to  have  their  hair  long.  Most  people  were 
U  offended  by  my  having  long  hair,  few  had  trouble  telling  me  apart  from 
he  females,  and  some  even  thought  it  improved  my  appearance  (and  believe 
1  need  all  the  help  I  can  get!) 

As  for  jewelry,  I  have  many  similar  feelings.  Many  students  here  at 
Southern  College  go  to  grat  pains  to  wear  their  jewelry.  They  hide  it  under 
heir  clothes,  put  it  on  as  soon  as  they  leave  campus,  and  lie  about  whether 
it.  Does  it  hurt  anyone  when  they  wear  it.  No.  It  is  the  same 
as  the  hair  issue.  It  is  a  personal  choice  whether  or  not  one  wants  to  wear 
jewelry.

Dear  Editor: 

I  was  delighted  to  read  that  the  Accent  will  be  covering  the 
presidential  election  this  fall,  and  I  eagerly  started  to  read  the  the  Advocate 
page  (3-September-1992)  on  Senator  Albert  Gore. 

My  enthusiasm  was  quickly  dampened,  however,  as  I  read  the 
article  by  Eric  Gang.  While  the  article  did  a  good  job  of  labeling  Gore  and 
the  Democratic  ticket  as  the  Republicans  would  like  us  to  picture  them,  it 
did  not  reflect  reality. 

In  the  article,  Clinton  and  Gore  were  erroneously  labeled  as  "tax 
and  spend"  liberals  who  "represents  a  one-way  ticket  to  economic 
depression."  This  is  hardly  the  case.  An  examination  of  the  record  shows 
that  Arkansas  has  the  second  lowest  tax  rate,  and  the  lowest  spending  rate 
in  the  nation.  It  is  true  that  Clinton  plans  to  initiate  a  new  investment 
program  in  America,  and  to  increase  taxes  on  the  wealthiest  two  percent, 
but  such  measures  are  needed  to  rebuild  the  economy  after  twelve  years 
of  failed  "trickle-down"  economics. 

In  another  part  of  the  article  Gore  was  also  labeled  as  as  "pro 
abortion,"  Gore  has  never  said  that  he  is  pro  abortion;  rather,  he  has 
clearly  stated  he  is  pro  choice.  There  is  a  large  philosophical  difference 
between  these  terms,  and  it  is  wrong  to  use  them  as  if  they  were 
interchangeable. 

As  acollege  student  soon  to  enter  the  "real  world",  I  am  concerned 
about  what  kind  of  leadership  our  country  will  have.  In  order  to  pick  the 
best  leaders,  I  believe  the  American  public  needs  to  know  what  the 
important  issues  are,  how  the  candidates  stand  on  these  issues,  and  the 
candidates'  past  performance  in  government.  What  we  do  not  need  is  a 
campaign  dominated  by  deceptive  labeling. 

Sincerely,  Brian  Amer

Personality  factor  test  for  teachers 


& 


The  16  PF  (personality  factor)  Test 
for  Teachers  will  be  given  in 
Summerour  Hall  on  Sunday,  Sep- 
tember 20  at  10  a.m. 

Required  of  al  I  education  and 
psychology  majors,  the  16PF  evalu- 
ates personality  traits  for  those  enter- 
ing teaching  and  counseling  careers. 
Students  will  receive  a  complete 
evaluation  of  their  test  scores  as  well 
as  an  optional  individual  consulta- 


tion with  a  psychologist  to  discuss 
results.  The  test  and  eunsulijinui 
are  free  to  students. 

"You  can't  flunk  the  16 
PF,"  said  Dr.  George  Babcock, 
Education  Department  head,  "But 
it  could  turn  up  personality  trails 
that  are  not  conductive  to  teach- 
ing. It's  absolutely  ridiculous  to 
take  a  test  and  do  nothing  with  the 
results.  That's  why  we're  dung- 
ing the  format  to  include  evalua- 
tion and  consultation." 


All  night  softball 


V  Eric  Johnson 


This  Saturday  night  studying 
will  be  forgotten  and  homework  put 
aside  as  teams  compete  against  each 
other  in  a  tournament  that  combines 
skill.emotion,  and  a  little  luck.  What 
is  this  fantastic  tournament?  Well.it 
is  nothing  less  than  the  annual  all 
night  softball  tournament. 

Before  the  tournament  be- 
gins there  is  a  drawing  of  the  teams  to 
see  who  plays  who  to  start  off  the 
tournament.  After  the  tournament 
has  started,  teams  play  each  other 
based  on  their  wins  and  losses.  This 
tournament  is  double-elimination  so 
in  other  words -a  team  has  to  lose 
twice  to  be  out  of  the  tournament. 


Game 
Summaries 


The  rules  of  the  tournament 
are  simple.  There  is  only  one  pitch 
and  the  first  and  last  innings  have 
three  outs  while  the  middle  innings 
have  only  two  outs.  I  feel  every 
inning  should  have  three  outs,  but 
since  there  are  so  many  teams,  time 
does  become  a  factor,  and  that  is 
why  this  rule  is  in  place. 

I  would  encourage  each  of 
you  to  come  down  to  the  field  this 
Saturday  night  and  watch  some  in- 
credible softball.  There  will  be 
doughnuts  and  drinks  for  sale  there, 
and  it's  a  great  place  to  see  your 
friends  have  some  fun.  So  bring  a 
blanket  and  a  strong  voice,  and  I'll 
see  you  at  the  softball  field. 


Appel  17,  Hayes  4 

Last  Tuesday,  September  8, 
two  top  teams,  Appel  and  Hayes, 
played  each  other — and  the  out- 
come wasn't  even  close.  Appel's 
team  went  on  a  home  run  barrage, 
hitting  1 1  home  runs.  John  Appel 
hit  four  home  runs  and  Coach 
Steve  Jaecks  hit  three.  Hayes's 
team  played  great  defense,  but  they 
were  powerless  to  slop  Appel's 
incredible  amount  of  home  runs. 
Rob  Gcttys  provided  most  of  the 
offense  for  Hayes  with  a  a  home 
run,  a  triple  and  a  single. 


Jones  4,  Bryan  3 

On  Monday,  September  14, 
Jones  continued  their  dominance 
h\  hunting  off  Bryan  4  to  3,  In  a 
game  that  was  mainly  a  defensive 
buttle.  Seth  Moffii  provided  the 
offensive  spark  for  Jones  when  he 
hit  a  two-run  homer  in  the  bottom 
of  the  fourth  inning.  Dean  Hobbs 
tripled  in  the  top  of  the  fifth  and 
Matt  Wilson  singled  him  in,  but  it 
wasn't  quite  enough  to  beat  Jones.

Have  I  got  the  Taco  Bell  blues 


By  Angie  Coffey       | 


Taco  Bell.  It's  a  proven  fact  that  the 

iverage  student  spends  more  time  in 

"aco  Bell  than  hours  needed  for  a

is  recently  discussing  the  proper 
iunt  of  fat  grams  a  person  should 
sume  aday.  It  is  more  than  shock- 
ig.  Now  that  everyone  has  turned  to 
ounting  fat  grams  instead  of  calo- 
s,  we  are  becoming  aware  of  what 
ove rindulgent  society  we  have. 


Forexample,77ie Surgeon  General's 
Report  on  Nutrition  and  Health 
(1988)  conveyed:  "Adults  need  a 
minimum  daily  intake  of  15  to  25 
grams  of  fat  to  meet  the  necessi- 
ties. No  more  than  30  percent  of 
ourdajlycaioriesshouldcomefrom 
fat  and  no  more  than  10  percent 
from  saturated  fats."  We  could  go 
into  the  fact  that  some  monosaturated 
and  polysaturated  fats  can  be  benefi- 
cial, but  saturated  fat  is  what  most 
foods  consist  of.  Here  is  a  simple 
formula  to  calculate  where  you  and 
Taco  Bell  stand.  To  find  out  your 
maximum  daily  allowance,  multiply 
your  daily  calorie  intake  by  .  1 0  and 
divide  that  total  by  9  (there  are  9 
calories  in  each  gram  of  fat).  For  a 
daily  calorie  intake  of  1 500,  your  fat 


grams  should  be  limited  to  1 6  to  1 7  a 

What  does  this  mean  to  you?  A  Mexi-

unbelievable  36  fat  grams,  575  calo-

So  where  is  the  rest  of  that  fat  going? 
Unless  you  're  doing  regular strenous 
exercise,  look  around  the  spare  tire 


and  the  bulges  and  take  note. 
Eating  at  Taco  Bell  is  not  wrong  or 
bad  but  in  everything  there  needs  to 
be  balance.  Try  a  few  of  these  tips  for 
one  week  and  only  one  week!  If  you 
don't  feel  or  look  better,  go  back  to 
where  you  were.  You're  not  going  to 
listen  anyway.  But  for  the  rest  whose 
eyes  are  open,  give  one  or  two  a  try 
and  let  me  know  what  yourweek  was 
like.  I  love  success  stories!! 

1.  Cut  Taco  Bell  trips  down  to  once 

2.  Balance  a  heavy  fat  day  with  the 
next  day  lighter.  NOT  fewer  calories 
however,  just  fat. 

3.  Skip  the  sour  cream,  extra  cheese, 
and  guacomole. 

4.  Drinkeight  glasses  of  wateraday. 

5.  Walk  30  minutes  around  the  track,

Clifton  Davis,  actor  from  the  NBC 
T.V.  show  "Amen",  Catherine  Crier, 
CNN  Anchor,  and  other  notable 
communications  professionals  will 
be  speaking  this  year  for  the  South- 
ern Society  of  Advenlisi  Communi- 
cators'annual  conference.  Thecon- 
ference  will  be  held  at  Cohutta 
Springs  the  weekend  of  October  23- 
25. 

The  organization  was  set  up 
in  the  fall  of  1989  by  George  Powell, 
Communications  Director  of  the 
Southern  Union.  He  realized  that 
there  arc  a  lot  of  Advcntist  commu- 
nicators who  are  not  working  for  the 
Adventist  system  but  would  like  to 
gel  together  once  a  year  for  a  confer- 

The  first  conference  was  held 
in  Florida  at  Camp  Kulaqua.  There 


all  the  communicators  came  together 
for  meetings,  socialization,  and  to 
elect  the  officers  for  the  next  year. 

In  the  fall  of  1990,  Brenda 
Wood,  Anchor/News  Reporter, 
WAGA-TN  Atlanta,  was  elected 
President,  and  still  holds  that  posi- 
tion. The  past  two  years  the  confer- 
ence was  held  al  Hilton  Head,  but 
this  became  quite  expensive.  "This 
year  the  membersof  the  board  wanted 
the  conference  closer  to  the  college 
so  more  students  couldattend,"Sauls 

The  conference  is  open  to  all 
students  interested.  Student  fee  is 
$25  if  the  registration  form  is  sent  in 
before  October  9.  The  brochures 
with  the  registration  forms  are  lo- 
cated in  the  Journalism  Department. 


Thatcher  Hall  has  a  girls  club  whether  students  know  it  or  not.  Sigma  Thctt 
Chi,  the  official  name  given  to  this  organization,  plans  activities  forThatchq) 
Hall  residents. 

When  asked  about  girls  club,  Shelley  Patterson,  a  Sophomon) 
Business  Administration  major,  replied,  "What  is  girls  club?" 

Last  year SigmaTheta  Chi  sponsored  several  Friday  evenin 
in  the  recreation  room  and  Saturday  night  movies  in  the  television  r> 
far  this  year  no  activities  have  been  planned,  and,  according  to  Dean  Rosel 
the  Resident  Assistants  have  yet  to  discuss  Sigma  Theta  Chi. 

In  previous  years  there  were  no  officers.  The  Resident  Assistant) 
lead  and  organize  Sigma  Theta  Chi.  Dean  Rose  explained  that  the  cluj 
seemed  to  work  efficiently  when  the  Resident  Assistant's  were  in  chanal 

Jean  Wise,  Senior  Corporate  Wellness  major  suggests  that  girls  km 
elected  asofficers.  "If  girls  ran  forpositions  there  would  be  more  mi 
to  have  a  girls  club  that  actually  did  something  on  a  regular  basis.  Election! 
would  also  help  publicize  Sigma  Theta  Chi." 

This  year  Sigma  Theta  Chi  will  be  electing  officers.  There  will  fc) 
six  officers.  These  offices  are:  President,  Vice  President,  Secretary,  Tra) 
surer,  Pastorette,  and  Public  Relations  Director.  Elections  will  be  held  afla) 
two  residents  are  running  for  each  office.

The  aroma  of  hot  chocolate 
and  donuts  filled  the  air  last  Wednes- 
day morning.  As  students  hurried  to 
their  8  a.m.  class,  many  grabbed  a 
few  donuts  and  a  cup  of  hot  choco- 
late. Dobber,  the  SCSA  mascot,  de- 
livered donuts  to  various  spots  on 
campus  just  to  make  sure  that  every- 
one got  a  chance  for  breakfast. 

However,  if  you  happened  to 
miss  out  on  the  donuts.  Sophomore 
Tanya  Cochran  sympathizes  with 
you.  "I  wish  they  would  put  guards 
at  each  donut  station,"  said  Cochran. 
"I  love  Dobber's  Donuts,"  said 
sophomore  James  Appel.  "I  hit  all 
three  donut  stations  on  my  way  to 
and  from  class."  So  Tanya,  there's 
your  thief. 


The  SCSA  has  been  putlog

■How  I  spent  my  summer 

■Summer  camp  with  Take  6 


&- 


Every  summer  hundreds  of  college 
Itudents  work  at  summer  youth 
tamps  across  North  America. 
[Though  on  different  campuses,  they 
pre  all  striving  toward  the  same  goal: 
obring  campers  an  exciting  week  of 
i  and  games. 

In  every  activity  the  staffseek 


bf  all,  show  the  grace  and  accepting 

i  of  the  Heavenly  Father.    Like 

my  employing  organization,  the 

famp  staff  was  chosen  for  what  they 

d  foc.the  customers,  but,  often 

ne,  energy,  and  talents  shared 

vilh  the  campers  gets  returned  to  us 

i-fold. 

This  summer  the  will  known 
■contemporary  Christian  artists,  Take 


6,  sponsored  a  week-long  retreat  al 
Indian  Creek  Camp  for  1 6  hiuh  m.  Ik  » 'I 
and  college  age  campers.  The  camp- 
ers came  from  five  major  cities  on 
theeasicoasl:  Atlanta, Miami, Nash- 
ville, New  York,  and  Philadelphia. 
They  were  youth  chosen  by  their 
teachers  because  of  their  outstand- 
ing gifts  in  art,  music,  and/or  drama, 
and  because  they  were  considered 
youth  who  should  be  awarded  with  a 
week  of  recreation  away  from  the 
city.  These  students  have  overcome 
major  stumbling  blocks  like  poverty, 
unfavorable  family  conditions,  and 
learning  Jisahililie-.  to  succeed  in 
their  education. 

The  campers  merged  on  the 
grounds  just  before  supper  and  ea- 
gerly checked  out  their  surround- 


ings. Even  though  they  did  not  know 

each  other  they  shared  horror  struck 
faces  as  they  realized  they  were  com- 
pletely out  of  their  well-known  city 
environment.  Theasphalljunglchad 
been  traded  for  the  hills  of  Tennes- 
see. Girls  groaned  at  the  idea  of 
taking  showers  in  the  same  room 
with  bugs,  while  guys  noted  that  the 
camp  was  very  quiet  compared  with 
the  noisy  activity  of  the  city.  At 
supper  they  got  their  first  taste  of 
vege-meal,  a  concept  that  was  for- 
eign to  ihem.  and  remarks  of  aTaco 
bell  double  beef  burrito  and 
McDonalds'  big  Mac  were  echoed 
across  the  cafeteria.  However,  as  the 
evening  wore  on  the  idea  of  making 
friends,  sleeping  in  cabins,  and  try- 
ing new  and  different  activities,  grew 

Not  only  were  the  surround- 
ings of  the  camp  foreign  to  them ,  but 
also  the  daily  schedule  was  full  of 
activities  that  they  had  never  experi- 
enced before,  the  thought  of  stand- 
ing on  two  board-like  objects  with 
boots  and  being  pulled  across  the 
water  was  a  new  and  often  frighten- 
ing ordeal.  Most  of  them  immedi- 
ately enjoyed  riding  in  the  Ski 
Nautiques  as  the  boat  drivers  did  G- 
Tums  and  soaked  everything  and 
every  one  in  the  back  seat.  Several 
campers  had  never  seen  a  horse,  much 
less  gotten  in  the  saddle  and  trotted 
aroundthecorral.  but  once  they  tried 
it,  they  loved  it. 

One  female  camper  in  par- 
ticular had  never  been  in  a  swim- 
ming pool  before  and  was  terrified  of 
putting  her  face  in  the  water  even 
though  she  was  standing  on  both  feet 
in  the  shallow  end  of  the  pool.  Little 
by  little,  as  the  lifeguards  and  swim 
instructors  worked  with  her,  she  be- 
gan to  feel  more  and  more  coml on- 
able  with  the  water  and  was  soon 
swimming  the  width  of  the  pool  with 


her  head  completely  immersed  un- 
der water. 

Along  with,  these  activities, 
the  campers  had  the  opportunity  to 
make  crafts  and  ceramics,  play  hours 
of  endless  basketball,  and  meet  and 
spend  time  talking  about  music  with 
three  members  of  the  Take  6  group. 

As  1  said  good-bye  to  the 
campers,  I  was  thrilled  to  hear  how 
glad  they  were  that  they  could  spend 
a  week  at  Indian  Creek.  The  fun  they 
dad  and  friends  they  made  would  be 
foreverimplanledintheirminds.  But 
I  wonder  if  they  knew  the  impact 
they  made  on  my  life.  As  I  watched 
them  overcome  their  fears  and  suc- 
ceed, like  the  girl  who  learned  to 
swim.l  was  remindedof  Paul's  words 
to  Timothy,  "For  God  hath  not  given 
us  a  spirit  of  fear;  but  of  power,  and 
of  love,  and  of  a  sound  mind."  (2 
Timothy  2:17) 

Not  only  did  we  experience 
with  them  their  growth  and  triumphs, 
but  we  also  shared  with  them  our 
health  message,  our  Christian  be- 
liefs, and  our  love  for  Jesus  Christ.  I 
listened  as  other  staff  members  ex- 
plained how  and  why  they  kept  the 
Sabbath  day  holy  and  watched  as  the 
campers  responded  with  more  ques- 
tions. Our  purpose  was  not  to  con- 
vert or  even  urge  the  youth  to  accept 
our  beliefs,  it  was  simply  to  show 
them  a  good  time  in  the  midst  of 
recreation  in  order  to  reveal  the  love 
of  God. 

While  I  was  working  at  In- 
dian Creek  Camp  in  Tennessee,  hun- 
dreds of  other  camp  stall  members 
across  the  united  Slates  were  sharing 
a  similar  experience .  The  youth  thai 
spend  time  at  camp  are  there  for  a 
reason.  Not  only  that  they  might 
reap  the  benefits  of  fun  week,  but 
that  the  staff  might  learn  from  them 
and  continue  to  grow  into  the  indi- 
\idiiiil  Christ  would  have  each  lobe.

Recalling  the  past  at  the  Medals  of  Honor  Museum 


By  Heather  Brannan 


A  daring  young  pilot  named  liddie 
Rickcn backer  shoots  down  123  op- 
posing aircraft  in  World  War  I  and 
becomes  America's  firs!  ace  pilot. 
Buffalo  Bill  Cody  sets  the  frontier 
alive  with  his  buffalo-hunting  ex- 
ploits. Chief  Josephof  the  Nez  Pierce 
leads  his  people  on  a  courageous 
journey.  A  Seventh-day  Adventist, 
Desmond  Doss,  is  commended  for 
his  bravery  as  a  noncombaianl  in  the 
Armed  Forces.  What  do  all  of  these 
men  have  in  common?  Each  of  them 
has  received  a  Congressional  Medal 
of  Honor  and  is  featured  in  the  Na- 
tional Medal  of  Honor  Museum  of 
Military  History  in  Chattanooga. 

The  Congressional  Medal  of 
Honor  is  the  highest  military  tribute 
in  America.  Representing  personal 
sacrifice  as  well  as  military  achieve- 
ment. It  has  been  awarded  3400 
times.  Of  those  recipients,  18  re- 
ceived the  medal  twice  and  205  are 
still  living. 

The  museum  displays  pic- 
lures  of  the  recipients  with  shorts 
deseriptions  of  the  heroic  acts  they 
performed.  Recipients  of  the  award 
come  from  all  of  America's  major 
military  involvements  and  are  di- 
verse in  race,  background,  gender 
(one  woman  has  received  the  medal), 
and  religion.  The  walls  of  the  mu- 
seum are  colorfully  decorated  with 
real  war  posters,  action  photographs 
and  paintings  portraying  important 


Inside  the  Medal  of  Honor  museum  are  interesting  artifacts  from

"We  don't  glorify  war  here," 
stated  Leo  Smith,  executive  director 
of  the  museum.  "We  want  to  give 
mure  insight  into  the  military  history 
of  the  United  States." 

The  Medal  of  Honor  Museum 
is  a  two-story  building  filled  with 
fascinating  artifacts,  exciting  photo-

Once  one  has  moved  through 
the  Medal  of  Honor  exhibits,  several 
oiher  displays  offer  various  aspects 
of  America's  military  history.  One 
room  contains  various  types  of  hel- 
mets and  headgear  worn  in  the  dif- 
ferent wars.  Another  is  devoted  to 
historical  military  outfits  and  weap- 
ons. A  room  entitled  "Holocaust

staement,  "Lest  We  Forget."  This 
phrase  is  surrounded  by  black  and 
white  photographs  portraying  the 


of  suffering  and  death  in  Nazi

One  of  the  best  features  of  j 
the  museum  is  its  accessibility  to  the  [ 
items  displayed.  Artifacts  gain  a 
new  meaning  as  one  holds  a  brick  I 
from  Hitler's  home  or  feels  an  Iraqi  I 
flag  torn  by  bullets.  Thelouchability 
factor  makes  the  museum  a  unique  I 
place  to  visit. 

The  directors  of  the  museu 
are  anxious  for  students  to  visit  ar 
learn  about  military  history.  "If  v 
can  get  young  people  to  come,  vi 
think  they  will  become  more  deeply  I 
involved,"  said  Smith.

you: 

"Circle  September  22  on 

your  calender,  for  only  on  the  first 
days  of  Fall  and  Spring  will  an  egg

actually  the  first  day  of  Fall,  but 
due  to  leap  year,  we'll  push  back 
the  excitement  one  day.) 


This  phenomenon  relates  to 
the  gravitational  pull  of  the

them  on  a  level  surface,  and  amaze

Christian  Etiquette 


by  Christian  Lighthall 


Dear  Christian, 

I  have  a  prob- 
lem that  I  can't  seem 
to  figure  out  and 
desperately  need  your 
advice.  It  seems  that 
whenever  I  become 
intimate  with  my 
girlfriend  in  front  of 
Thatcher  or  on  a 
bench  along  the 
promenade,  I  get 
confusing  reactions 


from  people  passing 
by.  The  reactions 
range  from  people, 
"Get  a  room!"  to  a 
person  clearing  his 
throat  or  even  as  far 
as  fainting.  Are  they 
jealous  of  Me?  Are 
the  trying  to  send  me 
a  message?  Please 
Help  me! 

Passionately, 
The  Bench  Burner 


Dear  Burner, 

I  think  the  mes- 
sage people  are  trying 
to  send  you  is  pretty 
clear!  But  don't  feel 
bad  because  a  casual 
observer  can  see  you 
are  not  alone.  There 
are  at  least  three  things 
proper  etiquette  does 
not  accept:  trying  to 
cut  on  Jaecks  in  WSI 


class,  bragging  that  you 
took  out  five  different 
girls  in  one  weekend 
and  they  never  found 
out,  and  getting  inti- 
mate with  a  girlfriend 
where  people  can  get  a 
free  showing — wanted 
or  not.  Let's  face  it,  if 
you  were  saying 
goodnight  to  your  date 
you  wouldn't  want  to 


do  so  among  sights  and! 
sounds  rivalling  scenes! 
from  any  Bond  movie,  f 
At  least  he  is  alone 
when  he  busts  the 
move!  Do  what  you 
will — but  do  it  in  pri- 
vate. 

Confidentially  yours,!

NEWS  OF  THE  WEIRD 


LEAD  STORY 

Among  the  pricing 
abuses  that  came  to  light  as 
a  result  of  the  July  settle- 
ment of  a  lawsuit  against 
American  Medical  Interna- 
tional hospitals  in  Florida 
were:  $54.30  for  a  sponge 
and  $7.80  for  an  antiseptic 
swab.  In  a  separate  dis- 
pute, a  Humana  hospital  in 
St.  Petersburg  agreed  to 
lower  some  of  the  prices  it 
was  charging,  including 
$50  each  for  Advil  and 
Tylenol  tablets. 


The  Equitable  Life 
Insurance  Company  re- 
cently printed  2.5  million 
copies  of  a  349-page 
document  intended  to  help 
its  policyholders  decide 
whether  to  hold  a  public 
sale  of  Equitable  slock. 
Slacked  on  lop  of  each 
other,  the  documents  would 
be  nearly  20  miles  high, 
beating  by  about  divesture 
to  its  shareholders. 

Local  Detroit 
legislator  Gil  DeNello 
proposed  a  ban  recently  of 
the  Super  Soaker  water  gun 
but  refused  to  back  down 
on  his  opposition  to  the 
control  of  real  guns.  Asked 


by  the  Detroit  News  to 
explain  the  apparent  contra- 
diction, DeNello  said, 
"Real  guns  are  intended  to 
kill.  (The  Super  Soaker)  is 
intended  as  a  toy." 

The  nudist  organi- 
zation American  Sunbath- 
ing Association,  along  with 
several  individual  nudist 
camps,  initiated  a  drive 
recently  to  donate  used 
clothing  to  organizations 
for  the  homeless  and  to 
dislocated  victims  fo  the 
Los  Angeles  riots. 

On  July  1,  the  city 
of  East  St.  Louis,  III.,  began 
municipal  garbage  pickup 
for  the  first  time  since 
1985,  when  the  city  ran  out 
of  money  for  it.  Mayor 
Gordon  Bush  estimated  that 
in  the  ensuing  seven  years 
about  one-third  of  residents 
arranged  private  pickup, 
but  that  two-thirds  dumped 
their  garbage  illegally.

$  1 .9  million  in  damgaes  to 
Cynthia  Ellwood,  who  was

The  collision  occurred 
when  Ellwood's  husband

Dargan  Suther,  who  died 
in  1990,  are  fighting  over 
an  estate  worth  more  than 
$600,000  in  Birmingham, 
Alabama.  Before  his 
death  at  age  73,  Suther 
had  taken  to  living  in  a 
tent  in  his  yard  because 
his  house  was  so  filled 
wiht  possessions  that  it 
was  impossible  to  walk

The  mating  habits 
ithe  Northern  American 
Jventist  College  Student, 
Nuptualis  Desperatus, 
k  been  the  subject  of 
d  scientific  and 
[ychological  study  on 
fopuses  nationwide.  It  is 
[ebirth  of  discovery  and 
)  a  world  of 
i,  ritual  and  fanfare  that 
tntists  have  coined 
pting."

bughout  the  ages  have,

s.  But  each 
lertaking  has  repeatedly 
er  disappoint- 
il  and  a  regression  into 
isunderstanding.  In  fact, 
iny  philosophers  and 
s  have  turned  to 
fetry  in  their  desperation 
intify  their  findings 
out  their  lives 
boverty,  and  obscurity. 
With  mistakes  of 
t  serving  as  lessons 


HAOS 


(Point  of  View) 


to  the  present,  current 
studies  have  begun  concen- 
trating on  the  male  gender. 
Scientists  claim  that  males 
typically  exhibit  less 
complex  emotional  and 
physiological  reactions 
than  those  found  in  the 
female,  thus  making  them 
more  cooperative  and 
easier  subjects  to  study. 
Some  studies  of 
interest  include  a  Califor- 
nian  researcher  who  is 
recording  the  mating  call  of 
the  male  Nuptualis 
Desperatus;  a  mating  call 
that  is  as  varied  and  diffi- 
cult to  classify  as  whale 
song.  After  a  recording  is 
made,  it  is  slowed  to  one- 
fifteenth  its  original  speed 
and  then  played  backwards. 
The  results  are  haunting  but 
melodic.  One's  ear  can 
clearly  discern  patterns  of 
speech  and  language. 
"What's  your  major?", 
"What  classes  are  you 
taking?",  and  "Will  you  go 


to  Vespers  with  me?"  are 
but  a  few  examples  of  the 
complex  mating  call. 

But  a  new  study, 
abbreviated  "The  Male 
Nuptualis  DesperatusATie 
Four  Year  Limit  Myth", 
being  conducted  on  the 
campus  of  Southern  Col- 
lege is  stirring  considerable 
interest  in  the  scientific 
community.  The  long-held 
belief  that  males  can  only 
nuptualize  within  the  four- 
year  framework  of  a  under- 
graduate college  program  is 
being  challenged  for  the 
first  time. 

Southern  research- 
ers hope  to  find  strong 
evidence  that  proves 
nuptualization  can  occur 
without  the  protective 
environment  once  thought  a 
prerequisite  to  the  process. 
They  argue  that  this  out- 
dated idea  is  more  myth 
than  reality  and  is  rooted  in 
psychological  functions 
rather  than  physiological 


One  experiment  at  South- 
em  is  examining  a  sample 
of  religion  majors-a 
Nuptualis  Deperatus  sub- 
group in  which  the  "four 
year  limit"  phenomenon  is 
most  pronounced.  With  the 
help  of  a  researcher  acting 
as  facilitator,  small  "fam- 
ily" groups  of  religion 
majors  are  encouraged  to 
discuss  their  feelings  as 
they  approach  the  so  called 
"nuptial  possibility  dead- 
line." Feelings  of  rejection 
by  family,  peers,  and 
authority  figures  is  ranked 
the  number  one  cause, 
while  a  fear  of  never 
finding  a  female  of  the 
same  species  outside  of 
college  is  a  close  second. 

"AH  of  the  prelimi- 
nary data  points  to  this  as  a 
learned  behavior  which  can 
be  changed... [a  behavior 
that  can  be  changed]... and 
is  no  way  related  to  a 
physical  limitation,"  said 


Calvin  and  Hobbes 


by  Rick  Mann 

one  researcher.  "Its  a  big 
task  to  change  the  mind  set 
of  nearly  every  college 
student,  but  it  can  happen." 

But  theories  like 
that  are  meeting  with 
opposition.  Critics,  many 
of  whom  are  single  male 
graduates,  say  that  change 
can  never  happen.  They 
claim  that  the  "four  year 
limit"  is  as  much  a  fact  of 
life  to  the  species  as  Taco 
Bell  or  Friday  afternoon 
mall  trips. 

The  verdict  is  still 
out,  but  researchers  are 
optimistic.  As  the  investi- 
gation continues  towards  a 
better  understanding  of  the 
mysterious  "four  year 
limit"  and  with  the 
Nuptualis  Desperatus 
species  as  a  whole,  college 
students  look  for  a  better 
tomorrow... and  maybe 
insight  for  a  better  today.

Southerners  give  hearty 
welcome  to  Bush 


^ 


By  James  Dittes 


l 


President  George  Bush  visited  Chatta- 
nooga on  his  "whistle-stop,"  five  city 
tour  through  Tennessee  last  Tuesday. 

Over  75  Southern  students  joined  a 
crowd  of  about  5,000  at  Signal  Aviation 
to  welcome  Bush  to  Chattanooga,  where 
he  gave  a  1 5-minute  speech  before  shak- 
ing a  few  hands  and  whisking  away  on 
Air  Force  One. 

Bush  entered  the  compound  ser- 
enaded by  country  music's  Forrester 
Sisters  singing  "I'd  Choose  You  Again." 
Naomi  Judd  and  Ricky  Skaggs  kept  the 
down-home  country  theme  alive  by  in- 
troducing him  along  with  former  While 
House  Chief  of  Staff,  Howard  Baker, 
and  Secretary  of  Education,  Lamar 
Alexander. 

In  his  speech,  Bush  stated  one  of  his 
goals  was  to  see  the  U.S.  have  the  world's 
first  $10  trillion  economy.  He  attacked 
Gov.  Clinton  on  a  variety  of  issues,  from 
the  draft  to  taxes  on  "vegetables,  baby 
food,  and  even  beer."  Bush's  most  exu- 
berant salvos  were  on  Clinton's  envi- 
ronmental record.  "I  hear  you  have  a 
new  aquarium  in  town,"  he  said.  "Well 
if  you  found  a  live  fish  from  the  White 
River  in  Arkansas  in  there,  you'd  find  it 
in  the  rare  species  exhibit." 

The  president  left  amid  a  din  of 


"Rocky  Top,"  shaking  hands  and 
waving  to  the  crowd  on  his  way 
out  of  the  complex.  "I  shook  his 
hand,"saidMarcaAge.  "Hesaid, 
'I'm  so  glad  you  could  make  it.' 
I  just  can't  believe  it." 

Other  students  were  im- 
pressed by  the  president's  ap- 
pearance. "He  looked  like  a 
friendly  grandpa,"  said  Brenda 
Pooley.  MelissaRosefelthewas 
better  looking  in  person. 

"He  was  a  power  figure,"  said 
College  Rep.  President,  Eric 
Gang,  "There  was  an  aura  about 
him  that  was  very  presidential — 
very  powerful." 

The  SC  Republicans  had  done 
much  to  help  prepare  for  Bush's 
visit.  Monday,  26  students  went 
to  set  up  bleachers  and  paint  signs. 
"Our  main  job  was  just  to  bring  a 
crowd,"  said  Gang. 

Jeremy  Stoner,  Matt 
Whitaker  and  Steve  Wilham 
worked  security  at  the  gate,  di- 
recting people  through  the  metal 
detectors  and  keep  Clinton  sup- 
portersout.  Theirdirectionsfrom 
the  White  House  press  staff, 
Wilham  said,  were:  "We  don't 
want  [Clinton  supporters]  in  here. 
Don't  lei  them  in."

Paying  for  college 

every  student's  mind.    Here's  one 

way  to  battle  the  bill. 

July  3 1 ,  McKee  Foods  Corpora- 
tion offered  their  recycling  depart- 
ment to  be  managed  by  Southern 
College.  This  gave  students  the  op- 
tion of  working  off  part  of  their  tu- 
ition. Students  were  hired,  and  pro- 
duction began  August  2. 

Southern  College  Industries 
(SCI)  used  to  be  a  branch  of  McKee 
Foods  Corporation.  McKee  used  to 
recycle  the  shipping  cartons  them- 
selves. By  presenting  this  employ- 
ment opportunity  to  SC,  the  bakery 
saves  money  and  students  can  pay 
for  their  education. 

A  ribbon  cutting  ceremony  took 
place  on  September  14  in  recogni- 
tion of  McKee's  commemoration  of 
this  new  student  employment  facil- 


ity. 


One  advantage  of  this  business  is 


that  there  is  no  direct  handling  ol 
cash,  no  inventory  of  stock,  and  no| 
worry  of  any  product  going  c 
date.  Also,  it  is  within  walking  dis-J 
tance  from  the  college,  which  is  a 
plus  for  students  without  transports 

"The  only  drawback  is  that  tl 
student  never  sees  any  of  the  money! 
because  it  goes  directly  to  the  school" ,1 
says  one  worker.  "When  there  is  nol 
source  of  income,  college  life  beff 
comes  synonymous  with  being  pen! 

The  operation  boasts  of  recycl 
250,000  boxes  per  week,  an  averag| 
of  50,000  per  day. 

An  automatic  sorting  i 
makes  workfastandeasy.  Dr.Wayn 
Janzen,  manager  of  SCI,  would  111 
to  add  another  machine,  but  space  ij 
limited.  When  the  building  v, 
structed,  it  was  expected  to  haveit 
capacity  for  expansion.  If  a 
machine  is  added,  the  building  ti 
need  to  be  enlarged. 


Southern  College  Gym-Masters  are 
taking  flight.  Little  do  SC  Students 
know  that  here  on  their  own  campus, 
exists  one  of  the  nation's  best  gym 

The  team'splansforthis  year 
prove  it.  The  Southern  Gym-Mas- 
ters are  in  demand.  This  year,  the 
team  has  invitations  from  six  NBA 
teamstoplayduringhalf-times.  They 
will  be  performing  for  the  Los  Ange- 
les Lakers,  Boston  Celtics,  Charlotte 
Hornets,  Atlanta  Hawk,  Washington 
Bullets,  Miami  Heat,  San  Fransisco 
Golden  State  Warriors,  and  maybe 
even  the  Chicago  Bulls. 


This  coming  Spring,  the 
team  heads  for  California  and  then 
on  to  Hawaii  for  their  biggest  tour 
this  year.  On  this  tour  they  will  be 
performing  for  various  colleges, 
high  schools,  and  games.  The  team 
members  are  helping  to  raise  the 
money  in  several  ways,  such  as 
letter-writing  programs  asking  for 
donations,  sponsorship  programs, 
fund  raising  activities,  and  even 
golf  tournaments. 

One  may  wonder  how  the 
Gym-Masters  have  the  time  to  do 


all  they  do.  The  team  meets  every 
week  night  for  two  hours  and  there 
are  many  hours  that  take  out  of  class 
time.  "It  takes  a  lot  of  time  and 
commitment,  but  it  is  well  worth  it," 
said  Amy  Durkin,  a  sophomore,  who 
is  a  second  year  Gym-Master. 

"I'm  looking  forward  to  an 
excellent  year,  experiencing  a  new 
school,  and  a  new  team."  said  Jon 
Fisher,  while  attempting  to  hold  a 

When  Ted  Evans  was  asked 
what  the  highlight  of  the  year  would 


be,  his  response  was  unexpected 
"All  the  NBA  games.and  the  bigW 
to  Hawaii  are  exciting,"  said  Evan 
"But  our  bread  and  butter  is  our  m 
lie  school  shows  that  promote  »f 
anti-drug  lifestyle  and  healthy  li*| 
ing."  said  Evans. 

Many  of  the  team  memt* 
were  asked  what  they  were  looKU 
forward  to  the  most,  and  the  respo^ 
was  always  the  same.  Many  said*

Choosing  a  college  is  a  difficult  thing 
to  do.  Some  say  a  Christian  educa- 
tion is  the  way  to  go  while  others 
think  a  state  school  fits  their  needs. 
Merlin  Wittenberg,  director  of  re- 
cruitment, thinks  Southern  College 
is  the  place  to  be. 

Wittenberg  attended  South- 
em  College  as  a  student.  "We  have 
a  lot  of  graduates  working  here,"  he 
said.  He  believes  since  students  re- 
ceive such  friendly,  attentive  service 
many  people  want  to  come  back  to 
give  students  the  same  kind  of  treat- 
ment they  received. 

Yet  there  may  be  many  stu- 
dents whose  needs  have  not  been 
met.  That  is,  up  until  now. 
Wittenberg  is  designing  a  newsletter 
especially  for  high  school  students. 

Presently,  Southern  College 
has  48  students  who  came  from  high 
schools  rather  than  academies.  When 
asked  whether  they  thought  a  news- 
letter would  be  a  good  idea  or  not,  all 
five  dorm  students  interviewed  re- 
sponded favorably. 

Freshman  nursing  major, 
Erica  Cody  heard  of  Southern  Col- 


lege from  her  pastor.  She  has  only 
been  an  Adventist  for  a  little  over  a 
year.  "Let  people  know  that  other 
religions  come  here  rather  than  all 
Seventh-day  Adventists,"  she  said. 
South  Carolina  high  school 
graduate, Tonia  Jefferson  thinks  pub- 
lic school  students  feel  left  out.  "Most 


u  den 


villi 


friends,"  she  said, "but  Icame alone." 
She  came  to  check  Southern  College 
out  because  several  people  from  her 
church  graduated  here.  Religious 
life  is  what  she  would  stress  in  a  high 
school  newsletter.  "College  students 
need  prayer,"  she  said. 

For  James  Milks,  who  came 
from  a  New  York  high  school,  South- 
em  College  was  a  culture  shock.  "It 
is  the  first  time  I  have  been  away 
from  home  for  longer  than  a  week," 
he  said.  He  wanted  the  coming  news- 
letter to  give  high  school  students  a 
"sneak  preview"  of  campus  life. 

Soon  Southern  College  will 
meet  the  needs  of  the  often  over- 
looked high  school  students.  This 
newsletter  will  show  why  it  is  the 
place  to  be.

Senate  Notes

"Pertinence"  was  the  word  of  the 
day  al  the  first  SA  Senate  meeting, 
Thursday,  September  24.  Afleran 
hour-and-a-half  meeting,  senators 
left  realizing  they  had  a  big  year 
ahead  of  them. 

Krisi  Clark,  SCSA  Presi- 
dent opened  the  meeting  with  a 
report  on  the  progress  of  the  sand- 
pit volleyball  court.  Final  figures 
were  not  yet  available. 

The  SCSA  Finance  Direc- 
tor, John  Boskind,  proposed  the 
1992-93  SCSA  budget,  which  the 
Senate  decided  to  review  further 
before  approving.  A  special  meet- 
ing was  call  for  September  30  to 
address  the  budget. 

Following  a  review  of  par- 
liamentary procedure  by  David 
Beckworth.SCSAparli 


nominations  were  made  to  fill  Sen- 
ate committees. 

In  its  first  united  effort  in 
appropriating  funds,  the  Senate  ap- 
proved the  purchase  of  a  new 
Macintosh  system  to  augment  the 
current  system  in  the  Memories 

The  Senate  is  the  student 
body's  representation  to  the  admin- 
istration, and  as  such,  has  broad 
powers  that  many  don't  realize.  "I 
want  to  educate  the  Senators  about 
their  power  as  provided  in  the  con- 
stitution of  the  SA,"  said  David 
Beckworth  after  the  meeting.  "I 
want  to  see  the  Senate  become  an 
active,  productive  part  of  the  SCSA. 

If  any  one  has  any  interest 
in  being  part  of  an  active  SCSA 
Senate,  there  are  two  precincts,  one 
each  in  Talge  and  Thatcher.  Please

World  Peace  Council. 

Now,  my  friends,  at  this  time, 
during  the  height  of  the  cold  war,  the 
KGB  was  ourworst  enemy.  AndBill 
Clinton  was  in  cohorts  with  a  KGB- 
backed  organization.  Moreover,  re- 
memberback  to  the  Democratic  con- 
vention this  summer,  and  the  video 
played  to  introduce  Clinton.  Re- 
member the  part  thai  showed  John  F. 
Kennedy  shaking  Clinton's  hand.- 
Remember  me  speech  Kennedy  gave. 
asking  not  what  the  country  could  do 
for  you,  but  what  you  couid  do  for 
your  country.  Bill  Clinion  was  doing 
his  part  to  help  his  country:  support- 
ing KGB-backed  organizations.  Is 
this  the  man  to  lead  ourcountry?  He 
didn't  want  anything  to  do  with 
America  then,  but  not,  with  the  op- 
portunity to  be  top  donkey,  he  pre- 
tends his  pro-communist  days  didn't 
even  happen. 

The  PBS  special  on  Nixon 
made  a  good  point:  Nixon,  after 
twenty-two  years  of  political  death, 
was  resurrected  to  be  the  most  pow- 
erful man  in  the  world.  Imagine  Bill 
Clinton  being  the  most  powerfulman 
in  the  world.  It  is  a  very  scary  thought. 


Did  Bill  Clinton  avoid  going  to  Viet- 
nam? Did  he  AVOID  the  draft?  I 
will  admit  here  in  print,  probably 
yes.  But  should  this  be  an  issue? 
Emphatically  NO! 

Here's  why. 

First,  let's  ask  some  other 
questions  of  the  same  nature  about 
George  Bush.  Questions  which  are  a 
bit  more  contemporary: 

Q:  DidGeorgeBushAVOID 
reality  by  making  a  specific  eco- 
nomic pledge  to  the  American  people 
during  the  1988  campaign  ("Read 
my  lips — no  new  taxes")  and  then 
break  his  promise? 

A:  Yes. 

Q:  Was  George  Bush  heavily 
involved  in  the  Iran-Contra  Scandal 
which  he  now  AVOIDS  talking 
about? 

A:  Yes. 

Q:  Did  George  Bush  estab- 
lish a  phony  residence  in  Texas  in 
order  that  he  might  AVOID  paying 
taxes  in  New  England? 

A:  Yes. 

Q:  As  of  this  writing  has 
George  Bush  AVOIDED  debating 
Bill  Clinton  in  front  of  the  American 


And  so.  President  Avoid  is 
complaining  that  someone  else 
avoided  something. 

Second,  isn't  it  time  we  quit 
dividing  this  country  based  on  those 
who  supported  the  Vietnam  War  and 
those  who  opposed  it?  George  Bush 
has  a  great  knack  for  labeling  and 
dividing  everybody.  Is  it  time  to  heal 
the  wounds  of  the  late  sixties  and 
early  seventies,  or  not?  Why  con- 
demn those  who  favored  peace, 
George?  War  is  the  failure  of  diplo- 
macy, you  know.  That's  why  we 
were  in  the  Middle  East  last  year, 
Commander. 

Third,  and  last,  should  every 
politician  be  responsible  for  every 
act  in  their  teenage  years,  good  or 
bad?  I  was  once  a  Republican,  but  I 
hope  that  no  one  would  hold  that 
against  me,  today.  I  also  aced  a  math 
test  in  grade  school.  Does  thai  qualify 
me  to  chair  the  Physics  department 
next  year?  Of  course  not. 

We  need  to  concentrate  on 
the  present  and  the  future  and  not  the 
past  except  when  it  is  useful  in  giv- 
ing us  wisdom  as  we  face  tomorrow. 

Bush's  rhetoric  on  Clinton's

dollar  short  and  a  generation  late.

What  is  the  church's  stand  on  abortion? 


SC  Faculty  Article 

reprinted  from  Student  Movement 

(Andrews)        Feb.  J ,  1989  p.I6 

"Why  does  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  church  make  such  a  big 
issue  about  the  wearing  of  jewelry, 
while  it  lakes  no  official  stand  con- 
cerning abortion?"  a  friend  recently 
asked  me.  What  do  we  believe  about 
abortion  and  why? 

For  15  years  I  have  been  in- 
trigued by  this  highly  controversial 
subject.  I  have  been  both  pro-abor- 
tion and  anti-abortion,  pro-choice  and 
pro-life.  Unfortunately,  the  position 
1  have  taken  has  not  always  been 
based  on  correct  information.  My 
own  research,  as  well  as  the  1988 
International  Abortion  Conference 
at  Loma  Linda  University,  has  been 
extremely  enlightening  on  this  issue. 
Let's  reconsider  the  following  well- 
accepted  "facts'"  about  abortion, 

No  unwanted  child  should  be 
hmupht  inlo  the  world.  Many  are 
concerned  that  an  unwanted  child 
will  become  the  victim  of  child  abuse. 


However,  the  majority  of  abused 
children  (91%  in  one  study)  were 
from  planned  pregnancies.  More- 
over, since  abortion  was  legalized  in 
the  U.S.  in  1973,  reports  of  child 
abuse  have  increased  by  several  hun- 
dred percent.  It  appears  tat  abortion 
—  the  ultimate  child  abuse  —  has 
resulted  in  the  cheapening  of  life. 
Actually,  the  "unwanted  baby"  is  a 
myth.  Therearethousandsof  couples 
who  long  to  hold  and  love  the  chil- 
dren so  many  are  aborting. 

F.vfTv  woman  has  the  rieht  to 
^ntml  hpr  own  body.  This  is  true, 
but  the  unborn  child  is  not  her  body. 
A  fetus  is  a  different  person  with  his 
or  her  own  distinct  set  of  chromo- 
somes. The  child  has  its  own  blood 
supply  that  may  be  of  a  different 
blood  type  than  that  of  the  mother.  In 
addition,  the  child  can  be  of  the  op- 
posite sex.  The  fetus  is  obviously  a 
distinct  individual  though  still  de- 
pendent on  its  mother,  just  as  new- 
boms  or  the  elderly  rely  on  others  for 
survival. 

The  Bible  says  nothing  about 


abortion.  Correct,  but  nothing  is  sard 
about  crack  or  cocaine  either,  yet  the 
committed  Christian  avoids  the  use 
of  narcotics  because  of  basic  biblical 
health  principles.  The  same  prin- 
ciple exists  with  abortion.  The  sixth 
commandment  reads:  "You  shall 
not  kill."  However,  since  we  know 
that  this  law  refers  to  the  killing  of 
human  beings,  the  questions  natu- 
rally arise:  Is  the  fetus  a  human 
being?  Should  unborn  be  treated  on 
a  par  with  other  persons?  God  Him- 
self answers  these  questions  in  the 
Bible. 

Unfortunately,  the  majority 
of  translations  and  commentators 
have  interpreted  the  only  biblical 
passage  that  deals  with  the  unborn  in 
such  a  way  that  the  fetus  is  given  less 
than  human  value.  However,  recent 
scholarship  has  now  established  that 
the  original  Hebrew  language  of 
Exodus21:22-25  shows  that  in  God's 
sight  the  fetus,  whether  viable  or  not, 
is  to  be  accorded  full  rights  as  a 
human  being.  The  New  King  James 
Version  and  the  text  of  the  New 


International  Version  correctly  indj. 
cate  the  full  personhood  of  the  fetus. 
This  passage  in  Exodus  21  harmo- 
nizes  with  the  rest  of  Scripture  ( 
Job  10:8-12;  Ps.  139:13-16;  Lk.  L„ 
41)  which  supports  the  sanctity  of  I 
fetal  life.  In  brief  then,  since  a  f 
is  a  human  being,  abortion  is  r 
der! 

In  the  light  of  these  reconsid- . 
ered  facts,  I  believe  that  a  caring  I 
Christian  community  will  do  at  least  I 
three  things.  (1)  Provide  appropri- 1 
ate,  wholistic,  biblically-based  sex 
education  in  order  to  preempt  and 
prevent  unwanted  pregnancies.  (2)  I 
Set  up  and  maintain  a  support  system  I 
to  help  women  with  unplanned  preg-  [ 
nancies  give  their  unbom  a  chancel 
forpostnatallife.  (Remember, adop- 1 
tion  is  a  Christian  option.)  (3)  Lov-f 
ingly  work  with  those  who  have  al- 1 
ready  had  an  abortion.  Let  them  I 
know  and  experience  the  forgive- T 
ness  that  Christ  offers  to  all.  Like! 
Jesus,  we  should  say,  "Neither  doll 
condemn  you;  go,  and  do  ] 


Is  Salvation  all  there  is  to  Christianity? 

|      )  /    By  Curtis  Forrester  \ 


A  few  days  ago  I  was  talking  with  a 
teacher  about  competitive  sports.  He 
was  telling  me  about  a  new  game 
which  he  was  devising  which  turned 
the  game  from  a  "worldly"  one  into 
something  more  Christian.  Though 
I  don't  want  to  steal  his  thunder  and 
describe  the  game,  the  principle  be- 
hind the  game  is  cooperation  with 
one  another  toward  a  common  goal. 
Competition  pits  two  people 
against  each  other  in  a  struggle  for 
supremacy.  Lel'ssay  Brian andBrent 
both  want  to  win.  Each  will  utilize 
every  tool  and  advantage  at  their 
disposal  toward  that  end.  If  Brent  is 
stronger,  he  will  try  to  overpower 
Brian.  So  what's  the  problem?  It's 
brother  against  brother,  which  pro- 
motes a  self-centered  philosophy  to- 
ward life.  Though  competition  may 
help  to  motivate  a  person  toward  a 
higher  achievement,  it  doesn't  al- 
ways promote  friendship. 
We  have  so  many  influences  which 
teach  us  to  promote  #1,  and  so  few 
which  promote  a  true  team  oriented 
spirit.    Some  can  argue  that  team 
sports  such  as  football  and  basket- 
ball correct  this  because  we  have  to 
look  out  for  the  team  and  not  just  for 
ourselves.  The  problem  is,  we  are 
generally  motivated  to  lookout  for 


member  of  the  team  and  shine  out  as 
the  star  player. 

Salvation  is  a  much  talked  about 
sublet  in  the  Christian  world.  "What 
must  I  do  to  be  saved?"  asked  the  rich 
young  ruler.  We  want  to  know  ex- 
actly how  we  are  saved.  Because  of 
our  selfish  nature,  we  are  only  wor- 
rying about  ourselves  and  our  own 
salvation.  That's  OK.  However, 
only  in  the  early  stage  of  your  Chris- 
tian walk.  As  you  grow  in  Christ, 
you  will  slowly  stop  thinking  of  your- 
self,  and  think  more  of  other  people. 
You  will  ask  "What  must  I  do  to 
make  sure  my  brother  is  saved?" 

We  live  in  an  age  in  which  hurri- 
canes are  tearing  through  peoples 
lives  and  leaving  rubble  piled  on  top 
of  dreams.  Floods  are  washing  the 
last  strands  of  hope  away,  and  wars 
and  famine  are  killing  millions — 
literally — daily.  But  the  good  news 
is,  people  in  third  world  countries  are 
soaking  up  the  truth  of  salvation  in 
Jesus  Christ  like  thirsting  souls  in  the 
dessert  of  sin. 

Amid  all  this  turmoil,  1  find  it 
amazing  that  a  person  would  even 
care  how  the  Steelers  or  9'er's  are 
doing.  The  only  competition  which 
matters  is  the  galactic  conflict  be- 
tween Jesus  (in  the  white  jersey)  and 
Satan  (sporting  fashionable  black  on 


black  this  season).  This  is  a  compe- 
tition which  requires  true  teamwork 
and  hard  work. 

No,  I'm  not  against  competition 
sports.  I'm  against  selfish  ambition 
which  leads  one  to  forget  the  Great 
Commission.  Personal  salvation  is 
already  given  to  you  by  Jesus.  It  was 
gained  for  the  whole  world  on  the 
Cross.  If  you've  accepted  Jesus  as 

the  next  step  in  the  Christian  game. 
That  step  is  letting  Him  into  your  life 
"to  will  and  to  work  to  His  good 
pleasure." 

I'm  reminded  of  the  two  seas  in 


Palestine.  One  is  alive  and  vibrant,! 
the  other  stagnant  and  dead.  Onehasj 
water  which  flows  in,  and  gives  w 
ter  out  again.  It  is  flowing  and  dy-J 
namic.  The  other  sea  is  stagnant.  P 
accepts  water  form  the  Jordon,  bti[| 
gives  nothing.  Water  comes 

The  sea  of  Galilee  and  the  Dead! 
Seaoffer  a  brilliant  illustration  of  tbt  I 
Christian  life.  It's  not  a  game  ofl 
receiving,  but  receiving  and  giving.  I 
It's  a  game  of  life  flow  through  «l 
and  out  into  the  thirsty  world  around  | 
us.  Who  are  you  competing  for  in 
your  life?  Yourself?  Or  Christ?

Opinion 


What's  right  with  longhair? 

Editor: 

I  want  to  respond  to  Brian  Bender's  statement  that  was 
printed  in  the  last  Accent  in  the  Opinion  section. 

Brian,  it  is  time  we  focus  on  REAL  issues.  A  college 
student  should  KNOW  by  now  that  we,  as  Adventists,  have  to  be 
different. 

Christianity  is  based  on  choice.  The  choice  is  live  for  God 
or  man.  The  real  issue  is  listening  to  our  Lord  and  Savior.  Christ 
told  us  to  be  a  "peculiar  people".  We,  as  Adventists,  have  certain 
standards  and  rules  we  must  live  up  to.  For  instance,  no  jewelry 
wearing.  This  is  not  the  school's  rule,  it  is  God's  rule.  Since  this 
is  His  chosen  school,  the  administration  must  enforce  the  Lord's 
rules  and  His  guidelines  for  daily  living.  If  you  don't  like  the  rules 
here,  there  is  public  school  out  there  for  you. 

Brian,  you  said  your  true  judge  is  the  Lord,  and  He,  for  one, 
looks  past  the  length  of  your  hair  and  the  chain  on  your  wrist-  In 
James  4: 17  it  says,  "Therefore  to  him  that  knoweth  to  do  good,  and 
doeth  it  not,  to  him  it  is  sin."  This  text  is  saying  you  know  He  says 
I  to  be  different,  not  to  wear  jewelry  and  if  you  do  what  He  says  not 
to,  you  will  be  judged  for  your  wrong  doing.

Some  cartoons 
aren't  that  funny 


Editor: 

Thanks  for  a  fine  first  issue!  One 
complaint,  however:  Child  abuse 
is  found  occuring  every  day  in  many 
!  The  "CHAOS"  ghost  car- 
depicting  a  parent  scaring  a 
pre-schooler  and  then  lying  about  it 
s  psychologically  and  emotionally 
busing  a  child.  That  is  not  funny. 
s  many  of  the  students  at  SC  can 
xrsonally  testify,  I'm  sure.  Screen 
cartoons  carefully.

Take  campus  policy 
or  leave  it 


I  am  writing  in  response  to  the  article  in  the  September  17,  1992, 
issue  of  the  Southern  Accent  entitled  "Opinion". 

I  agree  with  the  author,  Brian  Bender,  when  he  slates  that  we  should 
not  judge  others  by  their  appearance,  and  that  the  Lord  is  the  only  true  judge. 
However,  the  statement  which  I  would  like  to  address  is  the  question  he 
posed  in  the  last  paragraph,  "Why  does  this  campus  feel  that  it  has  been  given 
the  authority  to  dictate  our  choices  for  us?" 

I  feel  that  the  "campus"  is  not  dictating  our  choices.  Before  anyone 
isenrolled  in  this  college,  they  are  made  aware  of  the  guidelines  that  they  will 
be  expected  to  follow  if  they  decide  to  come.  These  guidelines  are  values 
which  the  Seventh  Day  Adventist  Church  believes  in  and  observes  all  over 
the  world.  Therefore,  I  believe  that  when  you  make  the  choice  to  come  to 
Southern  College,  which  is  your  choice,  that  is  when  you  decide  on  the 
choice  of  your  appearance.  Because  this  is  a  Seventh  Day  Adventist  college 
it  needs  to  uphold  the  standards  of  the  church.  When  you  decide  to  come 
to  Southern  College,  you  have  decided  to  abide  by  the  Seventh  Day 
Adventists'  standards  while  attending  here.

A  look  at  the  1992  All-night  Softball 

Tournamentl 


Photos  by  Rick  Mann 


And  then  there  were  seven.  Scott  Bowes's  victorious  team  (Clock- 
wise from  left)  Bowes,  Sam  Greer,  Ken  Rogers,  Adam  Mohn,  Seth 
Perkins,  Ron  Redden,  and  Scott  Ramsay. 

17  S  by  James  Dittes  | 

No  one  saw  the  final  out  of  the 
1 992  All-night  Softball  Tournament. 

About  50  die-hard  softball  fans 
huddled  together  as  RobGettys  lofted 
a  lazy  fly  ball  into  right  center  field. 
50  pairs  of  weary  eyes  watched  the 
ball  disappear  into  the  fog  that  envel- 
oped the  outfield.  50  pairs  of  ears 
heard  the  call,  "I  got  it!"  and  the  pop 
of  the  ball  into  the  mit.  And  50 
strained  voices  cheered  as  Seth 
Perkins  burst  from  the  fog,  his  arms 
raised  in  triumph,  heralding  victory 
for  Scott  Bowes's  team  for  the  sec- 
ond straight  year. 

In  winning  the  tournament  for 
the  second  year  in  a  row,  Bowes 
accomplished  the  feat  with  only  seven 
players,  and  did  not  lose  a  game  in 
the  tournament.  Rick  Hayes's  team 
finished  second  after  eliminating 
John  Appel's  heavily  favored  team. 

The  final  out  of  the  tournament 
came  at  5:1 5  a.m.,  about  an  hour  and 
a  half  after  heavy  fog  had  shrouded 
the  outfield.  "The  fog  has  had  a 
dramatic  effect  on  the  outfielders," 
saidJuniorDestaZablotney,  "Andit 
really  cut  down  on  the  home  runs." 
But  two  home  runs  did  disappear 
into  the  fog  in  that  last  game,  hit  by

night  Softball  Tournament 


Coach  Ted  Evans  for  Hayes,  and 
Pastor  Ken  Rogers  for  Bowes. 

The  story  of  the  night  for  Bowes 
was  not  power,  however,  it  was  pluck. 
An  original  team  of  ten  became  only 
seven  due  to  an  injured  ankle,  the 
MCAT  exam,  and  a  camping  trip. 
Yet  in  the  end,  those  seven  were

"It  was  teamwork,"  explained 
shortstop  Scott  Ramsay,  "Everybody 
hit  and  everybody  hit  in  the  clutch." 

Third  baseman  Sam  Greer  could 
only  explain  the  victory  by  pointing 
up  through  the  fog  towards  heaven. 

The  story  of  the  1992  All-night 
Softball  Tournament  encompassed 
more  than  Bowes's  final  victory. 
Seventeen  teams  struggled  in  the  dew 
and  the  fog,  playing  for  a  chance  to 
extend  their  teams'  evenings  into 
morning.  Perhaps  it  was  the  lateness 
of  the  hour,  but  a  refreshing 
comraderie  lived  between  the  com- 
petitors in  this  year' s  tournament — a 
spirit  that  was  almost  as  tangible  as 
the  mist  that  hovered  over  the  fields. 
There  were  a  dozen  high-fives  to 
every  out  made,  a  hundred  cheers  to 
every  hit. 

The  All-night  Tournament  had 
its  surprising  moments  too.  David

Despite  the  rain  this  past  Sunday, 
athletes  near  and  far  participated  in 
an  event  that  started  with  a  bang. 

They  came  from  Collegedale, 
Chattanooga,  Florida,  Georgia, 
Missorri,  and  other  eastern  states  to 
the  8th  annual  Southern  College 
Triathlon  held  Sunday  27th  at 
Cohutta  Springs  Camp. 

"We  usually  have  a  lot  of  specta- 
tors," said  Tanya  Johnson,  Triathlon 
coordinator  and  a  Corp.  Wellness 
major,  "we  didn't  have  as  many  this 
year  because  of  the  rain,  but  com- 
petitors were  anxious  and  serious 
enough  to  take  it  with  a  stride." 

"Triathlons,  by  their  nature,  are 
extreme  endurance  events  for  the 
competitive  athlete,  and  exciting  for 
those  who  are  participating  just  for 
the  fun  of  it,"  said  Phil  Garver,  Race 
Director  and  Chairman  of  the  P.E. 
Department. 

The  coarse  consisted  of  three 
endurance  events:  l/2mileswim,  18 
milebike,andafourmilenin.  These 
could  be  divided  in  a  relay  team  or 
completed  individually.  Although 
there  was  no  time  limit,  competitors 
had  achallenge  of  bearing  last  year's 
record  time,  one  hour  22  minutes.

Accent  SpOrtS  with  Eric  Johnson 

The  ball  sails  through  the  air  and  lands  gently  on  the  majestic  green. 
The  action  I  have  just  described  is  a  direct  result  of  playing  the  great  game 

of  golf.  ..         . 

Golf  is  a  sport  that  can  ease  your  mind  of  the  hassles  of  studies  and 

every  day  college  life.  When  a  person  heads  out  to  the  golf  course,  they 

be  assumed  of  no  noisy  crowds  or  other  distractions  that  might  come 
from  other  sports. 

Now.  I  realize  that  for  the  average  college  student,  playing  golf  on  a 
™isistent  basis  is  out  of  the  question.  Since  I  fall  into  that  category  as 
well,  I  just  try  to  set  aside  two  days  out  of  the  month  when  I  can  forget 
about  school  and  work  and  just  be  on  the  course  for  the  afternoon. 

Now,  don't  get  me  wrong,  golf  can  be  a  very  competitive  and  exciting 
game.  Normally,  there  are  four  people  in  a  group  together.  Alot  of  times 
tow  people  in  the  group  will  team  together  against  the  other  two  and  see 
which  team  can  get  the  best  score.  This  makes  the  game  a  little  more  fun 
and  adds  some  excitement  to  the  round.  Especially  if  Jody  Travis  is  in 
your  group. 

So  whether  you  want  to  play  golf  just  as  a  relaxing  sport  or  you  want 
to  have  a  little  competition  on  the  course,  the  game  of  golf  is  an  excellent 
way  to  do  both  and  get  a  little  exercise  in  the  process.  I  hope  each  of  you 
will  try  this  great  game,  and  maybe  I'll  see  you  on  the  golf  course.

After  twenty  years  of  diet- 
ing, says  a  national  survey,  the 
average  American  is  now  five 
pounds  heavier.  Some  diet!  In  fact, 
the  American  Seating  Company 
has  enlarged  the  average  size  chair 
seat  to  accommodate  for  the  ever 
increasing  American  backside. 
Several  people  have  asked  me 
what  their  proper  weight  should 
be.  The  answer  to  this  question  is 
rather  surprising  to  many  of  us. 
By  definition,  you're  obese  if 
you're  at  least  twenty  percent  over- 
weight. This  is  a  conservative  fig- 
ure that  many  may  find  hard  to 
swallow.  So  what  is  the  secret  to  a 
healthy  lifestyle?  and  how  do  you 
know  what  your  ideal  weight  is?

stroke  and  cancer,  reduce  your  food 
bill,  allow  you  to  eat  as  much  as  you 
want,  and  still  lose  one  or  two  pounds 
a  week  without  ever  being  hungry. 
Impossible?  Read  on. 

Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
Company  tables  are  based  on  the 
results  of  a  study  by  the  Society  of 
Actuaries,  pooling  the  experience  of 
twenty-six  U.S.  and  Canadian  life 
insurance  companies  over  a  period 
of  twenty  years.  Since  obesity  has 
been  defined  as  "a  pathological  con- 
dition characterized  by  an  accumu- 
lation of  fat  in  excess  of  that  neces- 
sary for  optimum  function"  a  more 
accurate  measurement  can  be  deter- 
mined by  hydrostatic  weighing,  or 
by  the  simple  "pinch-an-inch"  test. 
(If  you  can  pinch  an  inch  of  fat  at 
your  lower  rib,  you're  overweight.) 
Excess  calories  are  stored  as  fat.  If 
calories  are  not  used,  they  will  be 
deposited  in  our  "fat  bank"  and  this 
bank  tends  to  set  up  branch  offices, 
embarrassingly,  in  and  around  our 
midsection.  Foreach  deposit  of  3.500 
calories,  we  earn  one  pound  of  fat. 
Just  one  extra  100  calories  a  day  can 
mean  10  pounds  in  a  year.  Not  a  bad 


investment  -  for  a  whale.  For  the 
rest  of  us,  if  you  cut  your  food 
intake  by  only  500  calories  a 
for  seven  days,  at  the  end  of  the 
week  you'  II  have  lost  one  pound  of 
fat! 

To  effect  such  a  negative  energy 
balance  in  which  you  bum  n 
calorie  than  you  take  in,  you  have 
three  options: 

1 )  Decrease  food  calories;  main- 
tain activity  level. 

2)  Maintain  food  calories:  increase 
activity  level. 

3)  Decrease  I'ouikMlorii"-.  increase 
activity  level. 

The  most  effective  option  is  #3, 
which  gives  you  a  win-win  situa- 
tion: you  take  in  fewer  calorie  nd 
bum  more  through  exercise. 
The  best  suggestion  is  to  inci 
the  amount  of  food  you  eat  while 
decreasing  calories.  You  cai 
all  you  like  of  the  right  kind  of 
nutritious  food  and  still  lose  1 1 
pounds  a  week,  especially  if  you 
put  your  best  food  forward  and 
walk  at  least  30  minutes  every  day.

"See  Rock  City."  At  one  point  this  simple  message  spanned  more  than 
I  six  hundred  bam  roofs  along  U.S.  highways  from  Florida  to  Texas  to 
I  Canada.  Those  three  words  splashed  across  read  and  black  bams 
s  much  a  part  of  the  American  countryside  as  the  livestock 
I  and  fields  which  surrounded  them.  The  Highway  Beautification  Act 
I  and  natural  decay  have  now  made  these  once  common  sights  a 
:ity.  However,  Rock  City  Gardens  has  not  suffered  a  simi  lar  fate.

Located  atop  Lookout  Mountain,  Rock  City  i; 
ten  acres  of  pleasant  walkways,  breath-taking  v 
I  dreamland  called  Fairyland  Caverns.  Truly  a  garden,  Rock  City 
contains  more  than  400  species  of  plants  native  to  Lookout  Mountain. 
The  flagstone  pathways  which  mark  the  first  part  of  Rock  City 
are  charming  and  pleasant.  Trickling  streams,  soaring  rock  forma- 
tions, and  lush  green  foliage  all  contribute  to  make  this  a  peaceful 
experience.  The  pathway  leads  visitors  through  such  places  as 
"Fatman's  Squeeze" — the  name  says  it  all— across  a  ninety  foot  high 
swinging  bridge,  and  by  a  deer  park  with  about  thirty,  white  European 
|  Deer. 

"Lover's  Leap,"  the  park's  main  observation  point  gives  a 
|  great  panoramic  view  of  Chattanooga  and  most  of  the  surrounding 
—better  than  Point  Park  and  Sunset  Rock.  Can  you  really  see 
nstates?  Probably  not,  according  to  Barbara  Massey,  Rock  City's 
I  group  sales  coordinator.  It  is  hard  to  see  even  Alabama,  and  it  is 
I  doubtful  that  the  weather  is  ever  clear  enough  to  see  the  120  miles  to 
I  Kentucky  and  Virginia's  Mt.  Pinnacle,  but  the  poetic  ring  of  "See 
I  Seven  States"  does  make  a  great  sounding  promo!  A  sky-bridge 
cascading  waterfall  is  also  worth  enjoying  while  on 
I  Lover's  Leap. 

Perhaps  a  bit  overdone,  Fairyland  Caverns  is  Rock  City's 
[  grand  finale.  First,  visitors  walk  through  several  rooms  whose  walls 
;  encrusted  with  incredible  amounts  of  amethysts,  quartz  crystals 
igantic  ones)  and  other  jewelstones.  The  equally  incredible  ceilings 
°f  these  rooms  are  covered  with  many  different  types  of  coral, 
including  the  extremely  slow  growing  brain  coral — environmentally 
very  incorrect.  The  second  half  plunges  visitors  into  an  amazing 
assortmentoffluorescently  lighted  scenes  from  fairy  tales  and  nursery 
rhymes.  This  is  perfect  for  college  students  wishing  to  digress  back 
to  a  simpler  time  in  their  lives.  The  tour  of  Fairyland  Caverns,  and  of 
Rock  City,  ends  with  Mother  Goose  Village,  a  large  room  filled  with 
^  even  more  fascinating  display  of  fluorescent  fairy  tales. 

Rock  City  takes  about  an  hour-and-a-half  to  see  and  really  is 
enjoyable  especially  if  you  climb  around  on  the  rocks — just  don't  get 
ca"ght).  Good  times  to  visit  Rock  City  are  after  the  leaves  change  this

"God  Was  Here' 

For  Ron  Wyatt,  Noah's  Ark  is  Only  the  Beginning 

by  Andrew  C  Nash 


His  claims  are  bold.  "The  Ark  of 
the  Covenant  is  directly  under  the 
crosshole . . ." 

His  theories  are  astounding.  'The 
boy  King  Tut  was  Pharoah's  son  . . ." 

His  stories  are  indeed  amazing. 
"And  then  he  looked  at  me  and  said, 
'I'm  on  my  way  from  South  Africa  to 
the  new  Jerusalem.  God  biess  you  in 
what  you're  doing  here.'  I  thought  10 
myself,  nobody  knows  what  I'm  do- 
ing here . . ." 

Ron  Wyatt,  59,  expects  people  to 
be  skeptical  of  him.  At  first.  "You 
have  got  to  question  people  and  make 
sure  they're  not  lying  to  you.  I  admire 
people  thalcheck  things  out  carefully." 

Check  this  out:  Wyatt  believes  he 
has  found  Noah's  Ark,  the  ash  remains 
of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah,  the  real  Red 
Sea  crossing  site,  Egyptian  chariot 
parts,  the  real  Mount  Sinai,  the  bin  pits 
which  held  the  grain  during  the  seven 
Years  of  Plenty,  Joseph's  "recipe"  for 
pyramid  building,  the  Ark  of  the  Cov- 
enant, the  true  crucifixion  site,  and 
other  Biblical  artifacts. 

Huge  discoveries.  I  luge  evidences 
of  a  living  God.  Huge  testimonies  to 
the  validity  of  the  Bible.  Little  said. 
(Only  "Noah's  Ark"  has  been  publi- 

"Wbat  we're  doing  is  very  care- 
fully documenting  all  of  this,"  says 
Wyatt.  "We  have  a  scenario  worked 
out  and  everything  is  right  on  sched- 
ule.  .  .  I'm  hoping  by  this  time  next 
year  we'll  be  done  with  everything, 
including  ihe  Ark  of  the  Covenant." 
Wyatt. an  Adventist  and  Nashville 
resident,  looks  and  talks  a  bit  like  you 
might  expect  Noah  would.  The  simi- 
larities do  not  end  there.  Both  have 
called  attention  to  the  same  boat.  Both 
have  proclaimed  an  unusual  message. 
Both  have  faced  skeptics. 

But,  while  many  may  doubt  his 
initial  claims,  Wyatt  says  few  disbe- 
lieve him  after  seeing  his  presentation. 
Why,  though,  should  anyone  be- 
lieve Ron  Wyatt?  A  nurse  anesthetist 
by  trade  (he  attended  SC  in  1953), 
Wyatt  has  worked  with  Israeli  arche- 
ology since  the  '70s.  But  he  does  not 
have  a  'formal  training'  in  archeology. 
Ironically,  Wyatt  sees  this  as  a  plus. 

"These  people  (archeolgists)  are 
trained  and  taught  things  that  aren't 
true. . .  .There  are  500  Ph.D.s  who  got 
their  degrees  from  writing  a  thesis  on 
the  Pill-down  man.    Well,  the  Pilt- 


down  man  is  a  total  hoax." 

Instead,  Wyatt  feels  an  open  mind 
and  a  willingness  to  let  God  lead— '1 
cannot  tell  anyone  why  theLord  chose 
me.  Perhaps  it  is  because  I  was  the 
only  one  who  volunteered."— has  lead 
him  to  things  'real'  archeologists  only 
dream  of. 

And.  indeed,  many  are  at  least 
considering  what  this  'volunteer'  has    Thg  Turkish  government  recognizes  Ron  Wyatt  as  the

Thank  you  to  Mrs.  Blanco  ("three

balancing  phenomenon  in  the  caf- 
eteria last  Tuesday.  Remember,  this 
will  not  work  again  until  March  21, 
the  first  day  of  Spring.  I  bet  now 
some  of  you  are  sorry  for  not  partici- 
pating  

Have  you  ever  fell  like  an 
imbecile?  Well,  try  carrying  two 
loads  of  just-dried  clothes  without 
using  a  basket.  Just  when  you  think 
you  have  everything,  one  small  white 
sock  floats  to  the  floor.  "You  dropped 
something,"  says  a  guy  walking  be- 
hind you,  but  he  does  not  offer  to 
help.  You  are  tempted  to  ignore  the 
sock,  but  you  bend  down  to  retrieve 
it.  In  the  process,  you  loscashin  and 
a  pillowcase.  Your  clothes  land  in 
some  clay  dragged  in  from  the  soft- 
ball  field  (some  guy  forgot  to  take  off 
his  cleats)  and  so  everything  goes 
back  into  the  washer  and  you  borrow 
75  cents  from  your  friend  whose 
room  is  nearby

For  those  who  do  not 
know,  umbrella  theft  on  this  campus 
apparently  does  not  fall  under  the 
eighth  commandment.  To  deter  this 
crime,  you  will  need  to  carry  an 
umbrella  no  one  else  will  want  to 
use.  For  example,  I  have  a  Minne- 
sota Vikings  umbrella.  Alex  Bryan 
has  a  Clinton/Gore  umbrella.  Both 
of  us  are  safe.  See  how  easy  it  is?  . .

to  be  "absolutely  hilarious!' 
And,  after  all,  in  the  fact 
of  such  a  serious  thing  a 
classes,  homework,  and 
passing  the  semester, 
could  afford  NOT  tc

Thatcher  Hall's  East  Wing  repairs 
are  done,  and  residents  have  moved 
into  their  permanent  rooms.  The 
repairs  were  to  be  originally  fin- 
ished on  September  16,  but  they 
took  longer  than  was  expected. 

Women  were  staying  in  the  an- 
nex and  Conference  Center  while 
they  waited  forthe  big  move.  When 
asked  what  living  in  the  annex  was 
like,  freshman  Sheila  Bennett  ex- 
plained, "It  was  like  living  in  a  dun- 
geon. Nosunlighttouchedmyroom, 
There  is  no  comparison  with  the 
annex  and  the  great  room  I  have  now 
with  a  window  that  actually  faces 
the  outside  world." 

Although  repairs  took  longer 
than  expected,  many  residents  feel  it 
was  necessary.  "The  new  showers 
are  void  of  black  mold,"  said  Tonya 
Crangle,  Wellness  major. 

Regardless  of  the  fact  that  it 
took  more  than  the  projected  amount 
of  time,  the  general  opinion  seems 
to  be  that  it  was  definitely  well  worth 
the  wait.

Andrew  Wilson  and  Shoni  Sayles  share  a 
Call  Book  Fair  Saturday.  Returning  student  r

Magnifying  Christ  through  missions 

I        /   f  By  Kevin  Martin    \ 


Sights  and  sounds  of  distant  lands 
permeated  the  air  in  the  Student  Cen- 
ter Saturday,  October  12. 

Under  the  direction  of  Leslie 
Brooks,  Collegiate  Missions  Club 
Director,  returned  student  mission- 
aries set  up  booths  displaying  vari- 
ous cultures. 

This  fair  was  a  chance  to  talk 
with  student  missionaries  and  listen 
totheir  experiences  in  countries  quite 
different  from  our  own.  SM's 
brought  photo  albums  and  pictures 
of  the  areas  where  they  did  their 
work.  Others  brought  articles  of 
clothing  and  household  items  char- 
cofparticularcultures.  Many 

l  dressed  up  in  traditional  cos- 


Slide  programs  were  presented 
of  such  places  as  England,  Taiwan, 
Honduras,  and  Guatemala  just  to 
mention  a  few.  Other  countries  rep- 
resented at  the  booths  were  Yap, 
Truk,  Pohnpei,  Paiau,  Kosrae, 
Majuro,  Mexico,  Japan,  Ebeye,  and 

The  Call  Book  itself  is  a  listing  of 
job  openings  in  mission  fields  all 
over  the  world.  The  new  Call  Book 
was  not  available  because  the  Gen- 
eral Conference  has  not  yet  pub- 
lished it.  It  won't  be  out  for  another 
month  or  two.  The  delay  is  not  due 
to  lack  of  organization  of  the  club. 

"A  couple  of  places  I'd  like  to  go, 
especially  after  seeing  the  slide  pro- 
grams, are  Palau  and  England,"  said 
Tammy  Harvey.  "The  only  real  dis- 


appointment was  that  they  didn't  have 
the  new  call  book." 

Shannon  Pitman,  who  was  a  stu- 
dent missionary  in  Thailand,  said, 
"It's  definitely  a  worthwhile  experi- 
ence. I  met  people  from  all  over  the 
world  and  many  new  friends."  He 
also  said  that  some  may  not  want  to 
go  back  merely  for  the  country  itself, 
but  to  go  back  and  visit  with  friends. 

There  were  opportunities  for 
cording  messages  to  be  sent  to  n 
sionaries  already  abroad.  Also,  no 
could  be  written  to  SM's  as  a  mei 
of  encouragement  and  support  or  si 
ply  to  say  "Hello." 

The  Call  Book  Fair  gave  stu- 
dents a  chance  to  join  the  Collegiate 
Missions  Club  and  to  be  a  part  of 
Magnifying  Christ  through  Missions.

Editorial       Fight  the  Real  Enemy 

James  A.  Dittos 


A  strange  thing  happened  last 
week  on  Saturday  Night  Live. 

It  had  nothing  to  do  with  the 
Church  Lady,  Opera  Man,  Weekend 
Update  or  Deep  Thoughts.  It  had  to 
do  with  what's  left  of  religious  lib- 
erty in  our  world. 

Sinead  O'Connor,  the  controver- 
sial rock  star  from  Ireland,  was  guest 
artist  on  the  show.  And  she  pulled  a 
controversial  surprise. 

You  may  not  remember  Sinead 
O'Connor.  She  hit  the  charts  three 
years  ago  with  a  song  called,  "Noth- 
ing Compares  2  U."  But  her  album, 
"IDoNolWanlWhatlHavcn'tGot" 
was  full  of  bitterness.  Songs  like  "I 
Am  Stretched  Out  On  Your  Grave" 
railed  a^.imsl  social  injustice  in  En- 
gland and  Ireland.  She  caused  a 
furor  several  summers  ago  in  Con- 
necticut by  refusing  to  allow  our 
national  anthem  to  be  sung  before 
her  concert.  She  even  cancelled  an 
appearance  on  Saturday  Night  Live 
once  before  because  of  her  abhor- 
rence of  guest  host,  Andrew  Dice 
Clay's  comic  attacks  on  women. 

To  put  it  simply,  O'Connor  is  so 


outspoken,  that  the  BBC's  rock  mu- 
sic station  once  did  a  newscast  with 
messages  thai  followed  news  stories 
that  said,  "Sinead  O'Connor  had 
nothing  to  say  on  the  matter." 

On  Saturday  Night  Live, 
O'Connor  covered  the  song,  "War," 
by  reggae  great.  Bob  Marley.  As  the 
song  closed,  O'Connor  said  to  the 
audience,  "Fight  the  real  enemy," 
and  ripped  up  an  8-by-12  picture  of 
the  pope.  She  ended  by  blowing  out 
a  few  candles,  and  exiting  before  a 
stunned  Saturday  Night  Live  audi- 

That  the  incident  caused  an  up- 
roar is  not  surprising.  We  Ameri- 
cans always  rise  up  to  defend  the 
cast  [gated,  yet  seldom  do  we  stop  to 
think  about  the  root  of  these  activi- 
ties; seldom  to  we  pause  to  see  the 
same  deficiencies  in  ourselves. 

O'Connor  comes  from  a  country 
divided  by  religious  war.  The  Re- 
public of  Ireland  suffers  from  600 
ycarsof  English  domination  and  now 
shudders  under  the  equal  burden  of  a 
religious  war  in  the  North,  which  is  a 
battle  zone  divided  between  Catho- 

About  Accent 


lie  groups  like  the  IRA  who  would 
have  the  North  join  the  Republic, 
and  loyalist,  anti-terrorist  terrorists, 
who  defend  the  English  province. 
Religious  wars  have  never  ravaged 
the  United  States.  Ourreligious  rights 
were  among  the  first  things  guaran- 
teed in  the  constitution,  but  there  are 
those  that  would  encourage  religious 
struggle. 

In  this  election  war,  forces  are  at 
work  to  divide  this  country  along  the 
concocted  lines  of  "family  values." 
What  I  saw  at  the  Republican  Con- 
vention in  August  was  a  party  that 
was  so  far  Right  it  was  wrong.  Re- 
publican leaders  like  Pat  Buchanan 
and  Pat  Robertson  declared  that  the 
time  had  come  for  a  "religious  war" 
to  champion  "family  values"  (Time, 
September  20).  Later  in  his  cam- 
paign, President  Bush  chastised  the 
Democrats  by  saying,  "Their  plat- 
form left  out  three  important  letters, 
G-O-D." 

But  can  America  really  be  di- 


vided between  those  who  wearij 
white  hats  of  prescribed  values  and! 
the  "elite"  who  wear  the  black  ones'! 
After  all,  if  the  founding  fathers  hail 
found  "traditional  values"  intrinsic! 
to  the  well-being  of  our  nation,! 
wouldn't  they  have  included  them  X 
the  constitution,  too? 

Enough  lives  have  been  lost  fight-L 
ing  for  Christian  values  in  the  lagl 
1500  years.  It's  time  for  Christian! 
to  get  out  of  the  fray.  As  American! 
we  have  no  business  fighting  reli-f 
gious  wars,  and  as  Adventists  v\ 
need  to  stop  the  squabbling  over  val-l 
ues  that  has  clogged  the  ^crcnropin-l 
ion  page  these  last  two  issues.  Tttfl 
debate  in  itself  should  undersconl 
the  broad  diversity  in  Christian  val-l 
ues,  even  among  students  here  oil 
campus.  I 

Fellow  Americans,  fellow  Cnrij-1 
tians,  it's  time  to  nip  these  "religioutl 
wars"  in  the  bud.  Intolerance  is  Ihtl 
father  of  every  stupid  thing. 

It's  time  to  fight  the  real  enemy!

villi  the  picture  of  President  Bush  o 


Eric  Gang,  a  "Calvin  Coulidge 
Republican,"  and  Alex  Bryan,  a 
"Jimmy  Carter  Democrat,"  have 
fought  out  the  issues  in  Accent's 
'Advocates"  column  tor  lour  weeks 
low.  Their  debates  have  added  per- 
spective to  Accent's  complete  cov- 
erage of  the  election. 

Eric,  a  Sophomore  prc-law  ma- 
jor as  well  as  chairman  of  College 
Republicans,  and  Alex  a  Senior  the- 
ology major,  haven't  restricted  their 
attacks  to  George  Bush  or  Bill 
Clinton,  either.  "It  surprises  me  that 
Alex  Bryan  is  a  Democrat,"  said 
Eric,  "He's  a  WASP.  He's  not 
lacking  in  anything."  AJex  wasn't 
surprised  at  all  that  Eric  was  a  Re- 
publican. "He  likeselitist  words  just 
like  he  likes  elitist  policies,"  said 
Alex, "  policies  that  fail  to  lake  into 
account  the  needs  of  the  common 

Eric's  "elitist  words."  like 
cummingling,  adulatory  and  accrued, 
have  sent  Accent  readers  scrambling 
for  their  dictionaries,  and  our  copy 
editor,  Melissa  Shook,  in  a  quan- 
dary. Eric  defends  himself  by  say- 
ing, "I  just  try  to  throw  out  good, 
logical  facts  that  anyone  with  rea- 
sonable intelligence  could  assimi- 


accent 


Both  will  boldly  tell  anyone 
about  the  other  party.  "A  Republi- 
can." says  Alex,  "is  the  oversized 
animal  at  the  circus  that  the  little 
man  has  to  clean  up  after." 

Ironically,  each  one  has  a  deep 
feeling  that  their  party  will  lose.  "At 
this  juncture,"  said  Eric,  using  a  well- 
worn  Bush  phrase,  "if  Bill  Clinton 
becomes  president,  the  American 
people  should  be  ashamed  of  them- 
selves." Alex  was  equally  bitter. 
"George  Bush  will  win,"  he  pre- 
dicted, "Because  the  American 
people  are  gluttons  forpunishment — 
and  because  money  buys  power." 

In  a  campaign  of  overstatements, 
low  blows  and  dirty  tricks,  the  No- 
vember 3  returns  will  come  as  a 
welcome  relief.  But  for  this  editor, 
the  overstatements,  low  blows  and 
dirty  tricks  in  the  "Advocates"  fea- 
ture will  be  sorely  missed.

^ollegedale  Connector  to  improve  access  to  1-75 


By  Brenda  Kellar  | 


Northbound  travelers  can  look 
ard  to  using  a  new  route  to  1-75. 
jction  began  this  summer  on 
llegedale  Connector  project, 
is  now  well  underway. 
■  new,  two-lane  road  will  be- 
\pison  Pike  near  the  Lifecare 
and  end  at  Old  Lee  Highway 
ewah  near  the  Racetrac  gas 

State  Representative   David 
;land  says  the  project  is  neces- 
because  "the  way  this  commu- 
is  growing,  access  had  to  be 
ide."  The  Ooltewah/Collegedale 
is  the  fastest  growing  part  of 
imilton  County,  with  an  estimated 
percent  of  county  building  per- 
ls during  the  past  ten  years  being 
ued  to  East  Hamilton  County,  said 
ipeland.    Another  reason  for  the 
is  long-haul  trucks  of 
:KeeFoodsCorporation,  Hamilton 
nty's  largest  employer,  must  go 
of  their  way  to  access  1-75. 
:'ve  been  requesting  helpforover 
years  for  entering  the  Ooltewah 
lerchange,"  said  Jack  McKee,  ex- 
ire-president  and  chief  op- 


eratingofficer.  "Presently  ourtrucks 
are  blocked  by  the  low  railroad  bridge 
in  Ooltewah.  This  won't  effect  our 
trucks  going  east  and  south,  but  it 
will  cut  off  12  miles  round-trip  for 
northbound  trucks."  In  1986,  the 
corporation  invested  $  1 50,000  in  the 
project  to  help  with  early  research 

The  new  route  should  alleviate 
some  congestion  on  Apison  Pike  and 
also  bring  economic  activity  to  the 
area.  "The  Connector  will  open  up 

desirable  land  for  industrial  and  com- 
mercial development,"  Copeland 


But  many  home  and  landowners 
near  the  site  are  discontent  about  the 
construction  of  a  new  road  in  their 
backyards.  Leon  Hayes,  who  has 
owned  his  home  beside  the  site  for 
five  years,  says,  "At  first  I  was  mad 
and  disgusted.  This  is  the  first  place 
I've  owned.  It's  not  much,  but  then 
the  state  came  in  and  messed  up  my 
yard,  my  scenery,  and  my  privacy." 
He  says  he  has  lost  interest  in  caring 
for  his  lawn  "  now  that  there  is  a 
drainage  ditch  right  at  my  door." 

"Anytime  you  build  a  road  you're 
going 


Copeland  said.  In  the  beginning,  the 
plan  was  to  use  the  existing 
Oolte wah-Ringgold  road  as  the  route 
to  the  Ooltewah  interchange.  But 
this  would  have  greatly  increased  the 
traffic  flow  and  sent  large  trucks  past 
Ooltewah  Middle  and  Intermediate 
Schools. 

A  major  part  of  the  project  is  the 
plan  to  route  the  road  under  the  rail- 
road tracks.  Mike  Howard,  County 
Engineer,  says,  "Anytime  you  can 
avoid  having  the  road  go  over  the 
tracks,  you  want  to  do  that.  It  won't 
be  as  hard  since  the  tracks  are  al- 
ready elevated  in  that  area." 

The  contract  allows  for  300  work- 
ing days,  which  means  that  the  road 
should  be  completed  in  the  fall  of 
1993.  This  period  looks  short  when 
compared  to  the  time  required  for 
otherroad  construction  projects.  "It's 
not  uncommon  for  completion  of  a 
major  road  to  take  15-20  years,"  said 
Copeland. 

According  to  the  Tennessee  De- 
partment of  Transportation,  the 
project's  construction  cost  will  be 
$4.8  million.  Adding  $1.5  million 
for  land  acquisition,  the  total  cost  is 
at  about  $6.3  million.  Funding  is 
split  equally  between  the  state  and 
Hamilton  County.

was  appointed  as  one  of  the  leaders 
in  the  construction,  along  with  Davis

that  the  courts  will  be  built.  "They

Moving  Health  Services  (to  be

room  for  the  financial  offices  to  ex-

the  new  location  so  Health  Services 
would  remain  on  campus.  They  want 
it  to  be  readily  available  to  all  stu-

maximally  efficient  in  serving  the

CABL  is  advocating 
"21  and  Sober" 

j         j    /   By  Elena  Jas  \ 


A  special  group  is  celebrating  21 
years  of  being  sober! 

InApril  1972,agroup  of  college 
and  university  students  from  across 
North  America  gathered  at  South- 
western Adventist  College  in  Keene, 
Texas.  They  created  a  national  orga- 
nization that  would  awaken  campus 
interest  in  a  temperate  and  well-bal- 
anced lifestyle.  As  a  result.  Colle- 
giate Adventists  for  Better  Living 
(CABL)  was  organized. 

To  this  day,  CABL  has  remained 
faithful  to  the  founders'  dreams. 
That's  why  CABL  director  Evan 
Adams  said,  "21  and  sober"  is  this 
year's  theme. 

CABL  is  a  drug-free  organiza- 
tion and  takes  a  stand  against  to- 
bacco products,  alcohol,  caffeine,  and 
other  drugs.  They  encourage  stu- 
dents to  make  the  right  choices  for 
themselves.  To  live  their  convic- 
tions, and  to  keep  in  touch  with  God. 
They  make  a  difference  by  impact-

A  bat  landed  on  Dr.  Sterling 
Sigsworth's  shoulder  Sabbath  after- 
noon, September  19,  scratching  him 
and  infecting  him  with  rabies. 

Sigsworth,  chemistry  professor, 
dropped  by  Hackman  Hall  to  check 
on  some  non-work  related  matter. 
He  had  just  stepped  up  onto  the  back 
porch/loading  dock,  when  something 
suddenly  fluttered  down  and  landed 
on  his  left  shoulder. 

Sigsworth  initially  thought  it  was 
"some  rather  large  insect."  Realiz- 
ing that  the  "insect"  was  actually  a 
bat,  he  reacted  immediately.  "I  sus- 
pected rabies,  due  to  its  strange  mid- 
day behavior,"  said  Sigsworth. 

Using  his  keys,  the  surprised  pro- 
fessor knocked  the  bat  to  the  ground. 
He  captured  the  bat  with  a  large 
styrofoam  cup  and  a  piece  of  card- 
board. "It*sbetterthatitwasme,and 
not  someone  who  wouldn't  suspect 
rabies, "  said  Sigsworth. 

He  taped  the  cardboard  over  the 
top  of  the  cup  with  masking  tape  and 
again  with  duct  tape.  Sigsworth 
punched  air  holes  in  the  cup  and  left 
the  bat  in  his  office  the  remainder  of 
the  weekend. 

Monday,  Sigsworth  took  the  bat 
to  the  Environmental  Health  office 
of  the  Hamilton  County  Health  De- 
partment. Wednesday  morning  he 
received  word  that  the  bat  had  tested 


positive  for  rabies.  That  s 
noon,  Sigsworth  began  the  series! 
intramuscular,  post-exposure  rabid 
injections. 

Although  the  injections  a 
longer  given  in  the  stomach,  theyan 
still  unpleasant  at  best.  The  s 
consists  of  six  injections  int< 
shoulder  muscles.  One  injection  A 
immunoglobulin  and  Five  injection 
of  the  rabies  vaccine  are  given  i 
alternating  shoulders  over  a  pe 
of  time.  The  total  cost  for  the  & 
is  approximately  $1,000. 

Sigsworth's  bat  encounter 
though  unfortunate,  was  the  ex 
tion.  There  are  a  great  deal  of  m 
conceptions  related  to  bats. 
"America's  Neighborhood  I 
Merlin  Turtle  said  there  are  tw 
eases  bats  can  transmit  to  humar 
rabies  and  histoplasmosis 
getting  diseases  from  bats  is  of™

"Less  than  a  half  of  one  pt

In  more  than  four  decades,  pubu

New  physics  program  implemented 

I        /   X  By  Cynthia  Peek    fc 


St.  Petersburg  University  in  Russia 
invites  physics  students  for  graduate 

Southern  College  and  St.  Peters- 
burg University  plan  an  exchange 
agreement  whereby  Americans  can 
earn  the  equivalent  of  a  masters  de- 
gree in  physics  and  Russians  can  do 
diploma  research  in  the  physics  de- 
partment. 

Professors  at  St.  Petersburg  Uni- 
versity are  able  to  teach  in  English. 
"Forgraduate  students,"  said  Profes- 
sor George  Zhuvikin,  "small  class 
size  is  normal."  The  professor  de- 
fined small  as  two  or  three  students. 

"St.  Petersburg  University  oper- 


ates under  two  systems,"  informed 
Zhuvikin.  "There  is  the  German 
system  which  takes  five  and  a  half 
years  to  get  a  diploma  and  then  there 
is  a  system  similar  to  the  American 
style.  Students  can  obtain  a  bach- 
elors degree  in  fouryears  then  choose 
to  continue  their  education  for  one 
and  a  half  to  two  years." 

Yearly  tuition  cost  at  St.  Peters- 
burg University  is  between  $4,000 
and  $5,000  for  fifth  or  sixth  year 
students.  Dorm  charges  are  $300. 
Living  expense  for  a  spouse  is  about 
$1,000. 

"It  is  easier  for  an  American  to 
live  there,"  said  Zhuvikin.  "than  it  is 
for  a  Russian  to  come  here."  Rus- 
sians like  the  "exchange  of  hard  cur- 


rency   most  Americans  have. 

Tuition  is  free  at  St.  Petersburg 
University  for  Russian  students, 
therefore  it's  more  affordable  for 
them  than  coming  to  Southern  Col- 
lege. Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin,  chairman  of 
the  Physics  department,  believes 
about  one  percent  of  the  Russian 
students  will  decide  to  come  toSouth- 
ern.  On  the  other  side  he  says  about 
ten  percent  of  Southern's  graduates 
may  decide  to  attend  St.  Petersburg 


I  m\ 


sity. 


The  University  accepts  190  new 
students  per  department  every  year. 
Students  and  staff  number  about 
20,000.  "The  figures  changed  last 
year,"  Zhuvikin  said,  "because  the 
economy  changed." 


A  cold  blooded  field  trip

On  September 24.  five  students,  with 
Dr.  Bill  Hayes,  traveled  to 
Appalachicola  National  Park  and  St. 
Marks  National  Wildlife  Refuge  in 
Florida.  The  goal  was  to  catch  vari- 
ous species  of  amphibians  and  rep- 
tiles for  their  Herpetology  class. 

"The  trip  was  a  big  success,"  said 
Hayes.  In  three  days  the  group  col- 
lectedovertwenty-fivespecies.  They 
also  caught  five  different  kind  of 
snakes  including  a  large  cotton 
mouth. 

Student  Scott  DeLay  was  very 
enthusiastic  about  the  trip,  "I  used  to 
go  out  and  collect  these  things  for  fered  at  Southern.  It  will  continue  to 
fun  and  now  I  can  get  credit  for  it",  he  be  taught  in  alternate  years  with  Ver-

ing through  performances 

"We  hope  to  open  their  eyes  to  the 
Holy  Spirit,  the  saving  powerof  Jesus 
Christ  and  to  make  them  aware  of 
His  soon  coming."  Said  Maria

Rodriguez  feels  that  this  will  bea 
good  year  for  Destiny  "because 
people  this  year  are  committed  and

They  all  want  to  witness,  and  that's

llVliat  are  die  parties*  major  flaws? 

|  Jm   Republicans^  View  One  Democrat's  View 


MX 


By  Eric  Gang 


^^t  the  Republican  party  is 

'X\  is  the  greatest  of  all  false- 
Is.  It  too,  just  like  the  Demo- 
c  parly,  has  many,  many  faults 
[^■shortcomings.  The  faults  of 
Iftiarty  are  probably  too  numer- 
"  t  here,  but  I  have  ran- 
Jily  picked  three  things  that  I 
lid  like  to  eliminate  from  the 


r 

First,  I  would  eliminate  Pat 
tson  and  the  rest  of  the  far- 
Ht  extremists.  This  faction 
^Hiin  the  Republican  Party, 
Iffiough  well  meaning,  seems  to 
o  quick  to  make  religion  a 
mmental  issue.  As  Adventists 
slieve  in  a  very  high  and 
nidable  wall  between  church 
ate,  and  these  rightists  don't 
this  view.  This  is  a  topic  that 
ays  on  the  minds  of 
uists,  and  rightly  so. 
Secondly,  I  would  elimi- 
■Ke  [he  memory  of  Watergate. 
WA'  time  the  name  Richard 
lj»nn  is  mentioned  I  hear  nothing 

e  parlance.  Lamen- 
|Qle.  the  "dirt"  has  overshadowed 

mplishments  of  Richard 
■on.  His  rise  to  the  highest 

i  the  land  was  an  achieve-

ment  in  itself.  After  losing  to 
Kennedy  in  '60  and  the  gubernato- 
rial race  in  '62,  critics  wrote  Nixon 
off  as  a  political  corpse.  Then,  as 
we  all  know,  he  triumphed  in  '68. 
Moreover,  conscription  was  done 
away  with  during  his  tenure  in  the 
White  House.  Too  bad  Slick 
Willie  didn't  come  along  a  few 
years  later. 

Finally,  I  would  like  to 
mention  a  few  people — not  by 
name,  of  course— that  I  would  like 
to  eliminate.  I  would  eliminate  a 
few  of  the  Supreme  Court  Justices 
whose  beliefs  coincide  too  closely 
with  those  of  the  religious  right. 
The  reasons  for  this,  to  Adventists, 
are  obvious.  I,  just  like  any 
Adventist,  hold  my  religious 
freedom  dear.  And  when  these 
Justices  start  interpreting  the  law 
how  they  want  it,  I  get  scared. 
Please,  my  dear  friends, 
don't  get  me  wrong.  The  Republi- 
can party  is  still  a  good  party,  and 
worthy  of  your  support.  However, 
like  anything  else,  it  has  flaws  and 
shortcomings.  Similarly,  President 
Bush  has  many  flaws  and  short- 
comings, but  when  looked  at  in  the 
context  of  who  he  is  running 
against,  he  may  not  be  that  bad 
after  all

When  asked  to  clean  the  closet  of 
the  Democratic  Party  I  feel  a  bit  like 
the  hospital  janitor  who  was  asked  to 
clean  the  already  sterilized  operation 
room.  But  we  must  never  rest  on  our 
laurels. 

Three  things  which  I  would  rid 
from  the  Party. 

ONE.  The  opinion  that  we  must 
purge  certain  groups,  special  inter- 
ests, or  viewpoints.  The  beauty  of 
the  Democratic  Party  is  in  its  wide 
diversity.  Inclusion  rather  than  ex: 
elusion  has  been  the  overriding  phi- 
losophy of  our  party  in  recent  his- 
tory. Those  who  claim  we  must 
separate  ourselves  from  diversity 
opinion  and  minority  influence  are 
wrong.  We  must  continue  to  be  the 
umbrella  that  the  Republican  oppo- 

TWO.  The  memory  of  the  1988 
campaign.  How  on  earth  can  we 
blow  a  1 7  point  lead  in  the  polls  and 
lose  to  George  Bush?    And  by  the 


way,  Mike  Dukakis  looking  foolish 
in  the  army  tank  is  the  best  image  I 
have  of  the  whole  year.  What  this 
country  needs  is  a  President  who 
doesn't  look  or  feel  so  comfortable 
in  tanks.  Orinusingtanksand  planes 
and  guns  to  kill.  But,  none-the-less, 
losing  in  *88  showed  just  how  vi- 
sionless  the  Democratic  Party  was 
four  years  ago. 

THREE.  The  deficit.  Yes,  we 
Dems  share  the  blame  right  along 
with  Reagan,  Bush,  and  the  rest  of 
those  tight-wingers.  Our  policy  is 
good  but  our  responsibility  has  been 
non-existent.  There  is  no  excuse  for 
the  embarrassing  way  Democratic 
Senators  and  Congressmen  have 
wasted  tax  revenue  while  spending 
what  was  not  there.  Philosophically, 
Democrats  are  economically  ad- 
vanced in  comparison  with  Republi- 
cans. But  we,  like  they,  are  miser- 
able devoid  of  any  spending  engen- 
dered by  waste  itself. 

And  now  we  are  perfect.

Dan's  hands  trembled  as  he  ap- 
proached ihe  [healer  window.  "Whal 
movie  would  you  like  lo  see?"  asked 
the  attcndanl  as  Dan  timidly  stepped 
forward. 

Glancing  quickly  over  his  shoul- 
der he  hesitantly  replied,  "Pinocchio." 
Suddenly  the  turmoil  inside  his  mind 
climaxed  as  lie  remembered  the  words 
of  his  parents.  "Now  Dan,  if  you  ever 
go  to  movies,  your  guardian  angel 
won't  enter  because  of  the  sinfulness 
that  abounds  in  that  Den  of  Iniquity," 
When  asked  about  Southern's 
movie  attendance  policy,  Vice  Presi- 
dent of  Student  Affairs  Bill  Wohlers 
referred  lo  the  student  handbook:  'The 
college  docs  not  condone  attendance 
al  motion  pictures  theaters.  Atten- 
dance al  Ihe  theater  may  result  in  dis- 
ciplinary action." 

And  ycl  a  1992  survey  of  365 
Southern  students  showed  thai  82.2% 
of  Southern  students  have  al  one  time 
or  another  viewed  a  movie  in  a  cin- 

Whcn  asked  how  many  movies 
they  allendcd  in  the  last  year,  the  an- 
swers ranged  form  0  to  over  50.  About 
40%  of  those  interviewed  walched  1 0 
or  more  movies  over  ihe  last  year. 

Over  77%  of  the  siudenis  were 
fully  aware  thai  they  were  breaking 
the  rules  when  they  went  lo  movies.  "I 
feel  il  is  a  personal  choice  and  I  don't 
feel  the  College  Administration  has 
the  right  to  tell  us  whal  lo  do,"  said  a 
junior  elemenlary  education  major. 
"We  are  old  enough  to  make  our  own 
decisions," 

Southern  students  use  various  cri- 
teria in  deciding  which  movies  to  at- 
tend. "1  look  at  the  ones  in  which 
controversy  is  evident,"  said  one  Jun- 

"I  like  the  story-line  involved.  For 
instance,  my  kids  will  be  looking  al

Sean  Rosas,  a  junior  History  ma- 
jor, has  a  different  perspective.  "Hook

Rosas  took  a  more  analytical  ap- 
proach. "Be  open-minded,  yet  criti- 
cal. We  must  seriously  look  at  what 
we  put  into  our  minds." 

Not  all  students  attend  movies. 
"When  I  was  younger,  I  didn't  go  to 
movies  because  of  my  parents,"  said 
Lori  Pettibone,  junior  public  relations 
major,  "several  times  when  I  sat  down 
to  watch  a  video  I  got  up  and  turned  it 
off  in  the  middle  of  the  movie  because 
I  was  so  offended.  It's  much  harder  to 
do  that  when  watching  a  movie  in  a 
theater." 

Some  students  hold  religious  con- 
victions concerning  movies.  "I  feel 
you  are  not  in  a  spiritual  form  of  mind 
when  you  attend  the  theater,"  said 
freshman  Religion  major  Marshall 
McKenzie.  "When  people  go  to  mov- 
ies they  look  forward  to  the  swearing

and  other  aspects.  If  they  wer 
spiritually  inclined,  it  would  r

Other  students  just  don't  think  if

Religion  major  Anna  Mae  Warner.  -

religion  major,  "Previews  and  critical

Other  students  look  at  the  long- 
lerm  effect  of  viewing  a  particular 
movie.  "When  deciding  on  which 
films  to  view,  I  wonder  if!  will  regret 
seeing  the  movie  once  I've  viewed  it 
and  had  lime  lo  think  about  it,"  said 
Bill  Hawkes,  an  Engineering  major.

All  of  the  students  interviewed 
had  some  advice  for  their  fellow  stu- 
dents about  how  to  choose  a  film. 

"Decide  whether  you  want  to

value."  said  Camp.  "If  you  choose  a 
film  forils  artistic  value,  then  sei  guide-

Other  students  had  monetary  con- 
cerns. "I  think  if  il  becomes  a  habit,  ii

said  History  major  Marissa  Tucker.

A  practical  joke?  I  didn't  think  ihey  had  those  anymore.  As  McLaugW 
would  say:  WRRROOONNG!!! 

Saturday,  October  3,  one  such  practical  joke  left  over  30  Southern  si 
wondering  if  they  were  in  trouble  for  attending  a  movie. 

I  found  oul  who  the  culprit  was.  ( We  won't  be  disclosing  any  names  b 
we  wouldn't  wan!  any  sponlaneous  assassinations  occurring,  now  would*] 
Let's  just  use  Bobetie).  So  I  questioned  what  would  prompt  someone  to* 
"I  did  it  because  everyone  al  Southern  is  so  uptight,"  said  Bobette.  "No  oi

Oh,  yes,  the  joke  exploded  wonderfully.  And  many  hearts  !

"Honestly,  I  think  this  joke  is  hysterical!"  said  the  carefree  Bobelle 
it's  the  greatest  thing  since  sliced  bread." 

What  did  the  olher  accomplice  have  to  say?  "It  was  great  fun!

Opinion 


faker  was  not  late 

writing  in  response  to  the  Joker  release  coverage  entitled  "Joker 
pleased.  Finally,"  as  it  appeared  in  the  last  issue  of  the  Accent. 

I  felt  that  this  article  lacked  objectivity  by  focusing  on  the  "delayed" 
ilease  date  of  the  Joker,  without  inviting  the  staff  or  sponsor  to  comment. 
A  misconception  was  created.  The  article  reported  that  the  Joker  was 
leased  late  on  the  second  try.  In  fact,  the  Joker  was  released  on  time 
wording  to  the  staff  schedule.  The  "first"  tentative  release  date  (at 
lobber's  Detour)  was  set  by  SA,  not  by  any  member  of  the  Joker  staff. 
iere  was  a  slight  delay  in  the  planned  shipment,  but  this  was  not  to  the  fault 
the  staff,  but  to  an  unforeseen  error  on  the  part  of  the  printers  (they  did  not 
ive  the  right  kind  of  paper  in  stock  and  had  to  re-order  at  the  last  minute.) 
On  behalf  of  the  hard  working  volunteers.  Editor  Jason  Aggio  and 
ronsor  Judy  DeLay  (both  of  whom  put  in  many  late,  late  nights),  and  the

merous T-shirts  and  sweat  shirts. 
The  city  of  Atlanta  and  it's  sur- 
rounding areas  have  been  hit  with 
tomahawk  fever  once  again  as  the 
Atlanta  Braves  iry  to  repeal  as  Na- 
tional League  Champions. 

Here  at  Southern,  the  crazed 
'"tomahawk chop"  has  hil  full  force. 
As  I  was  walking  up  the  stairs  past 
the  cafeteria  yesterday,  I  passed 
Alex  Bryan  and  David  Beckworth. 
Their  arms  seem  to  be  fixed  in  the 
"chop  mode",  with  a  faint  chant 
coming  from  under  their  breath. 

It's  amazing  how  one  baseball 
have  such  an 


overwhelming  effect  on  it's  fans. 
For  a  lot  of  Brave's  fans,  the  play 
offs  have  caused  studying  to  be  put 
aside  until  after  the  game  orearly  in 
the  morning. 

Brave'sfcver  has  only  begun  to 
hit  the  campus  of  Southern.  If  the 
Braves  do  finally  win  the  World 
Series,  I  wouldn't  be  surprised  to 
see  Grundset  on  the  promenade 
doing  the  "tomahawk  chop." 

This  season  has  been  a  great 
one.  and  the  best  is  still  to  come. 
And  for  those  of  you  who  may  be 
Pirate  or  Red's  fans,  there'salways 
next  year,  and  the  year  after,  and 
well,  you  get  the  point.

Saving  your  life  may  be  easier  man  you  mink 


|[       J    X  By  Angie  Coffey     | 

I  Many  tell  themselves,  "My  health  is 

I  fine.  Why  should  I  be  concerned?" 

Ilhe  truth  is,  if  you're  an  average 

lAmerican,  you  could  be  on  the  road 

o  destruction  and  not  even  know  it. 

In  America,  diet  is  killing 

learly  400,000  people  per  year.  It  is 

;  number  2  killer  of  Americans. 


i    Ot     M 


s_fif 


i  be  prevented  by  a  change 


hat  Big  average  person  eats  and 

The  past  economic  situation 
s  caused  some  long,  hard  looks  at 
s  health  care  problems  of  the  na- 
m.  Health  care  is  one  of  the  hottest 
iues  on  the  presidential  campaign 
[ballot.  The  candidates  are  spending 
:  time  pointing  the  finger  and 
[citing  the  problems  then  offering  real 
fcolutions.  Specific  programs  will  be 
to  hide  how  we  will  pay  for 
i.  Whatever  we  get  we  will  have 
|o  pay  for,  and  the  price  is  high. 

Paying  is  something  U.S. 

■knows  all  about.  Last  year,  the  people 

n  this  country  spent  $700  billion  on 

wealth  care  -  the  highest  per  capita 

expenditure  in  the  world.  A  recent 

federal  study  suggests  that  costs  will 

e  to  $1 .6  trillion  by  the  year  2000. 

We've  all  been  told  to  eat  our 

'egetables,  watch  our  weight  and 

f  xercise,  exercise,  and  exercise.  But 

it  has  been  repeated  so  often,  we've 

Reamed  to  ignore  the  warning.  "Your 

■future  health  is  too  distant  to  worry 

■about,"  says  John  McDougall,  au- 

|thor  of  The  McDougall  Plan,  "but 

e  has  a  knife  poised  at 

|  your  chest,  you're  all  ears." 

Today  doctors  are  prescrib- 
iore  exercise  and  better  nutri- 
|  tion.  Corporations  are  opening  their 
l-house  wellness  programs, 
and  TV,  news  and  health  programs 
'ending  out  information  faster 
I  thanwecanunderstand.Buttheques- 
tion  still  remains,  "What  do  I  do 
|  about  my  health? 

This  year  taking  charge  of 
your  health  is  made  easier  with 
HealthFest,  a  five-day  event  spon- 
d  by  the  non-profit  organization 


for  five  days,"  said  Jane  Sines, 
director  of  HealthFest. 
"Citizens  and  professionals  can  take 
advantage  of  their  expertise  with  only 
minimal  charge." 

Health  care  professionals  will  speak 
on  proper  exercise,  stress  manage- 
ment, reducing  high  blood  pressure, 
cancer  prevention,  mental  health,  and 

"The  organization's  goal  is 
to  promote  healthful  living  through 
preventive  maintenance.  We  wanted 
the  speakers  to  be  fun  and  exciting 
with  information  that  is  up-to-date 
and  easy  to  understand,  so  we  got  the 
best  we  could  find!"  said  Sines. 

The  32  member  organization 
has  scheduled  HealthFest  for  Octo- 
ber 25  to  30  at  the  Chattanooga  Trade 
and  Convention  Center. 

"We  have  20  speakers,  five 
days  of  events  from  10am  to  7pm,  a 
fun/run  walk  with  Dr.  Cooper,  and  a 
vegetarian  banquet  with  Dr.  Ben 
Carson.  We  don 't  know  how  we  could 
make  this  event  more  exciting  or 
informative!"  said  Sines. 

Dr.  Kenneth  Cooper,  father 
of  the  fitness  revolution;  feels  exer- 
cising safely  and  effectively  can  eas- 
ily become  apart  of  a  health  lifestyle. 
Cooper  was  the  first  to  apply  the 
word  "aerobics"  in  1968.  Since  then, 
much  has  been  said  of  the  benefits  of 
exercise  and  many  have  adopted 
simple  regimens. 

This  decade  wants  fast  cars, 
fast  information,  and  fast  food.  The 
wants  of  the  society  far  outweigh  the 
needs.  Richard  Neil  suggests  "cop- 
ing with  stress  effectively  reduces 
the  incidence  of  health  afflictions." 
Although  the  probelm  is  complex, 
the  solution  still  remains  simple  and 
almost  free.  It  is  the  hands-  and 
mouth-  of  every  individual.  Now  is 
the  time  to  Take  charge  of  your 
health!

Hot  smnmer  nights: 


Lori  Cadavero  (Jr.,  Psychology)  and  Millie  White  (Sn.,  Social  Work)  spent  eight  weeks  last  summer  working  for  the 
Evangelical  Association  for  the  Promotion  of  Education  (EAPE).  The  organization  was  founded  by  world-renowned 
author  and  lecturer  Tony  Campolo.  Cadavero  worked  in  Camden,  New  Jersey  while  White  worked  in  Philadelphia,  Penn- 
sylvania. They  ran  a  day  camp  primarily  for  elementary  school  children  living  in  public  housing  projects.  In  addition, 
individual  tutoring  in  reading  and  math  was  provided  for  each  child.  They  also  held  club  meetings  for  junior  and  senior 
high  school  kids.  White  and  Cadavero 's  greatest  challenge,  as  well  as  greatest  reward,  was  sharing  God's  love  through 
personal  relationships  with  the  children  and  their  families. 

Loci's  story 


"I'm  gonna  look  for 
you  in  heaven.  I 
won't  forget  you. 
Ever." 


And  the  children  were  wonderful.  It  was  amazing  to  see  such  ops 
spirits,  considering  that  many  had  been  victims  of  sexual  abuse,  et 
Looking  back,  so  many  happy  times  with  the  children  come  to  mind. 

I'll  give  you  a  little  glimpse.  In  the  middle  of  Bible  class  one  da; 
teacherJohn,outoftheblue,said,"Let'salltick]eLori!"Ohboy!  Thekio 
all  thought  this  was  a  great  idea.  All  thirty-three  of  my  five-  and-  six  Has  | 
olds  dog  piled  me.  Or. . . 

Upon  walking  a  couple  of  kids  home  one  afternoon  after  camp,  * 

year  old  Nicole  plucked  some  lilacs  and  said,  "foryou."  Thanks.  But  wiry.  I 

"Because  I  love  you."   And  probably  the  most  special  memory  I  had  w   I 

achild  happened  on  the  last  day  of  camp.  Tahnia  was  sitting  on  my  lap  dun»8 1 

look  for  you  in  heaven.  I  won't  forget  you.  Ever"  singing  time  and  at  one  point,  impulsively  tumeu  to  me  and  said,  "I'm  go     | 

If  any  of  you  ever  think  to,  pray  for  these  children  of  Philadelphia  and  Camden.  I'm  so  glad  God  hasn't  forgotten  them.

challenge  in  the  inner  city 


iMillie's  story 


Mantua  is  a  place  where  color  nor  class  matters.  It'saptace 

where  background  doesn't  matter;  a  place  where  a  Southern,  while 

girl  can  be  accepted  and  challenged;  a  place  where  Jesus  can  be  seen 

in  the  bright  brown  eyes  of  the  children. 

This  neighborhood  has  it  usual  woes:  filth,  poverty,  crime, 

violence,  drugs,  and  despair.  Yet,  in  the  midst  of  its  ugliness,  a  spirit 

of  courage,  determination,  and  hope  shines  as  brightly  as  a  shooting 

star.  Sadly,  the  blackness  of  the  city  night  can  smother  its  glow. 

While  suburbanites  hastily  pur- 
sue their  college  degrees,  BMW's, 
and  high-paying  jobs,  the  neglected 
youth  of  the  inner-city  struggle  to 
find  a  sense  of  peace  among  broken 
crack  vials,  dead  friends,  and  wel- 
fare checks.  As  politicians  argue 
over  election  "agendas"  and  "family 
values"  the  people  in  Mantua  still 
hope  for  the  best,  even  thought  the 
"trickle-downeffect"  never  seems  to 

dampen  their  fiery  trials.  Yet,  the  pride  of  the  people  rises  far  above  the  misery  and  brokenness. 

Where  does  this  strength  come  from?  It  is  a  simple  belief  that  someone,  somewhere  loves  and  believes  in  them.  This  someone  may  be  God, 

family,  friends,  or  even  a  young  girl  from  Tennessee  who  came  to  be  among  them  last  summer.  Tragically,  most  white  people  are  blinded  by  color 

to  the  unique  needs  and  potential  of  those  in  the  inner  city.  The  people  of  Mantua  are  also  color-blind,  except  they  are  better  able  to  look  past  the 

skin  to  the  heart  beneath. 

If  Jesus  were  here  today,  would  He  spend  His  time  knocking  on  fancy  doors  of  houses  that  are  occupied  by  self-absorbed,  materialistic 

citizens?  Or  would  Jesus  be  walking  the  streets  of  inner-city  conversing  with  crack  dealers,  dining  in  roach-infested  housing  projects,  or  playing 

basketball  with  a  group  of  NBA  hopefuls?  You  decide.  The  "things"  of  the  middle  class  lifestyle  seem  to  hide  the  true  essence  of  the  task  God 

has  called  us  to  do:  "Go  ye  unto  all  the  world. . ."  Shouldn't  the  bleak  inner-city  be  a  part  of  our  comfortable,  cozy  world? 


"The  neglected  youth 
I oi  (he  inner-city 
■struggle  to  find  peace 
I  among  broken  crack 
■vials,  dead  friends,  and 
I  welfare  checks."

The  Incline  Railway:     Moving 


P 


By  Deana  Abdel-Malekl 


"A  ride  unlike  any  other. 
|  tastic  View!"  "America's 

"The  best  hoagies  south 
|of  Philadelphia!"  It  may  sound  as  if 
;se  quotes  have  nothing  in  com- 
>n,  bu  they  actually  all  describe 
e  of  the  "most  exciting"  places  in 
thattanooga — the  Lookout  Moun- 
in  Incline  Railway. 
Originally  built  on  November  1 6, 
1 895,  the  railway  is  the  steepest  pas- 
incline  in  the  world.     The 
latural  paths  in  the  mountain  side 
an  excellent  site  for  the  rail- 
way which  was  built  with  dynamite 
1  picks.    The  first  railway  cars, 
de  of  wood  and  lacking  wmduw  v 
/ere  powered  by  huge  coal  burning 
fengines  and  moved  at  a  considerably 
efortheirday.  Thetwomod- 
s  each  carry  44  passengers  up 
fend  down  the  mile  long  path  in  the 
itain.  The  cars  run  on  a  pulley 
m  which  moves  the  1 2  ton  train 
it  a  speed  of  600  feet  a  minute. 
e  faint  of  heart  will  be  happy  to 
aiow  that  the  incline  is  also  the  saf- 
n  the  world,  having  a  giant  auto- 
ic  break,  manual  brakes,  and  cable 
replacements  every  three  year.    In 
;,  the  only  safety  features  were 
handrails  forthe  occupants  seated  by 
:  open  windows  to  grip  on  the 
[bumpy  ride  down! 

Starting  21 00  feet  above  sea  level 
I  at  the  top  of  Lookout  Mountain,  pas- 
I  sengers  can  see  five  states  on  a  clear 
I  day.  On  the  way  down  the  incline  to 
■  the  Chattanooga  valley  below  each 
I  carpasses  through  Hamilton  county, 
I  Chjckamauga,  and  the  Chattanooga 
|  national  military  parts.  The  pan- 
v  of  the  city  is  incredible. 


especially  during  the  fall  when  the 
hardwoods  are  changing  from  green 
into  rich  oranges  and  reds.  The  view 
is  also  notable  in  the  spring  for  the 
dogwoods  and  in  the  summer  for  the 
laurels. 

Before  riding  the  incline,  sweet- 
tooths  can  visit  the  Candy  Connec- 
tion which  makes  candies  fresh  daily, 
or  the  Mile  High  Ice  Cream  Parlor, 
which  I  definitely  recommend  to  all 
other  ice  cream  addicts!  The  Incline 
Substation,  located  at  the  lower  level, 
serves  a  wide  array  of  sandwiches  at 
reasonable  prices.  Gift  shops  are 
located  at  both  stops  and  are  filled 
with  shirts,  caps  and  toys  for  those 
young  at  heart.  Located  on  the  upper 
station  is  the  free  observation  deck 
which  is  the  highest  overlook  on  the 


on  up  to  the  top 


If  you're  not  one  for  great  food  or 
spectacular  views  you  can  try  your 
hand  at  the  videos  games  scattered 
throughout.  Couples  can  test  their

"In  This  Thing 
Together" 

12,000  miles  from  home,  Alvin  Billiones  and  Somphone 
(Sam)  Saenchanh  tackle  College,  English  and  America. 

by  Andrew  C.  Nash 


II  is  not  your  typical  snapshot  of 
SC  dorm  life. 

Alvin  and  Sam  sit  not  on  chairs, 
but  on  the  floor  of  room  #302,  speak- 
ing not  English,  but  Thai,  eating  not 
Doritos  or  Golden  Grahams,  but  hoi 
noodles,  using  not  a  spoon  or  fork  , 
but  a  chopstick.  One  chopstick? 

"That's  all  we  have— one  chop- 
stick,"  says  a  laughing  Alvin. 

"1  could  not  find  another  one," 
explains  Sam. 

But,  then  again,  Alvin  Billones 
and  Somphone  Saengchanh  are  not 
your  typical  SC  students.  Alvin,  a 
luiiior  Li  1111  puier  science  major, spent 
the  first  20  years  of  his  life  in  Thai- 
land. Sam,  a  sophomore  religion 
major,  fled  alone  into  Thailand  from 
communist  Laos  at  age  six,  never  to 
return.  They  mel  in  College-dale, 
Tennessee. 

Sam  says  the  decision  to  leave 
his  homeland  of  Laos  was  his  own. 
"I  went  to  my  father,"  Sam  says, 
"And  said,  'Father,  1  want  to  go  to 
Thailand." 

"Peek  yung  mai  khaeng  por," 
responded  Sam's  father.  ("Your 
wings  are  not  strong  enough  yet.") 
But  Sam's  "wings"  were  strong 
enough,  strong  enough  for  the  Lao- 
tian child  to  cross  the  Mekong  River, 
his  "swimming  pool,"  on  a  piece  of 
banana  tree  bark.  Sam's  relatives  in 
Thailand  (his  father  had  contacted 
them)  and  a  new  freedom  awaited 
him  on  the  opposite  shore. 

At  age  nine,  Sam  began,  as  most 
Thai  boys  do.  a  year  as  a  Buddhist 
monk  (Thailand  is 99.7%  Buddhist). 
It  was  not  until  Sam  visited  his  uncle, 
a  P.O.W.  in  the  Vietnam  War,  at  a 
refiigcecamp  in  1988,  that  he  learned 
the  song,  "Jesus  Loves  Me,"  and 
what  it  meant.  (SC  currently  has 
student  missionaries  at  the  same  refu- 
gee camp,  Penatnechom.) 

"Weneedtogotochurch,"Sam's 
uncle  said. 

"What's  church?"  asked  Sam. 
That  same  year,  Sam  became  a 


Christian  and  began  ti 


a  English. 


Meanwhile,  in  Bangkok,  a  Thai 
Christian  teenager  named  Alvin  had 
mastered  the  English  language  long 
before.  "English  and  Thai  are  my 
first  languages,"  says  Alvin,  who 
had  a  lot  of  early  contact  with  mis- 
sionary children. 

Alvin  was  bom  on  the  tropical 
island  of  Phuket  but  later  moved  to 
the  Adventist  Hospital  in  Bangkok 
where  his  father  worked  in  the  finan- 
cial department. 

It  was  in  Bangkok  where  Alvin 
noticed  that,  while  Thailand  had  yet 
to  embrace  Western  religiun.  West- 
ern materialism  had  crept  into  his 
society.  "Thai  people  never  knew 
.invilimr  .ihuut  h.irsand  all  this  until 
the  Vietnam  War.  The  Americans 
introduced  these  things. ...  I  have 
nothing  personal  against  anybody, 
but  (the  war)  did  bring  a  lot  of 
change."  Thailand's  prostitution 
problem,  Alvin  notes,  is  "mostly  re- 
stricted to  Bangkok." 

And,  though  they  lived  in  a  com- 
mon country  at  a  common  time,  Alvin 
and  Sam's  initial  meeting  was  not  to 
be  until  last  fall  in  the  SC  cafeteria. 
Doug  Martin  introduced  the  two.  "I 
knew  he  was  either  Thai  or  Laotian," 
says  Alvin  of  Sam. 

What  Alvin  did  not  know  is  the 
close  fnendshipthe  two  would  share. 
Whether  they  are  playing  soccer  on 
Friday  afternoons,  attending  the 
Spanish  church  on  Sabbath,  or 
thumbing  through  their  Thai  news- 
papers, Alvin  and  Sam  find  comfort 
in  adapting  to  American  life  together. 

Alvin  says  that,  since  he  grew  up 
with  Americans  in  Bangkok,  he  knew 
what  to  expect  with  the  people  here. 
But,  he  says,  environment  and  cul- 
ture are  different  matters. 

Forexample,  in  Thai  culture,  it  is 
highly  demeaning  to  point  the  bot- 
toms of  your  feet  at  anyone.  "The 
feet  thing,"  says  Alvin,  "was  some- 


Sam  and 


thing  I  had  to  get  used  to." 

Something  else  Alvin  and  Sam 
have  had  to  adjust  to  is  the  cost  of 
American  food.  "I  don't  know  why 
the  food  is  so  expensive  here,"  says 
Alvin.jokingly.  (In  Thailand,  a  plate 
of  fried  rice  runs  about  forty  cents.) 

Or  how  about  the  American  fas- 
cination with  the  sun.  "We're  scared 
of  the  sun,"  says  Sam.  "We  don't 
want  to  get  black."  Most  Oriental 
people  think  light  skin  is  preferable. 

And  then  there  is  the  issue  of 
respect. 

"When  you  talk  to  elders  here, 
you  can  talk  to  them  on  an  even 
level,"  says  Alvin.  "Back  home, 
you're  supposed  to  just  listen  to  what 
an  elder  says . . .  and  it's  none  of  your 
business  to  talk  back  to  them."  In 
other  words,  don't  expect  to  hear 
Alvin  and  Sam  shouting  at  their  teach- 
ers this  year. 

Related  to  respect  is  the  way  Thai 
people  greet  each  other.  They  do  not 
shake  hands.  Instead,  they  "wai"  (by 
placing  their  hands  together,  chest- 
high,  in  a  prayer-like  position.)  "I 
miss  the  wai,"  says  Alvin.  "It  says,  'I 
respect  you  and  you  respect  me.'" 

But,  even  with  all  the  cultural 
differences,  Alvin  and  Sam  say  they 
are  enjoying  their  stay  at  Southern. 
Alvin  works  at  Information  Services 
while  Sam  works  a  full  night  shift  at 
McKee's.  "It's  easy,"  he  says.  "A 
piece  of  chicken — or  whatever  you 
say."  (It'sapieceofcake.butdon't 
worry,  Sam,  the  idioms  will  come.) 

Alvin  and  Sam  are  not  the  only 
Thai-speakers  on  campus.  Fresh- 
man Jeannie  Sanpakit  is  also  Thai, 
though  she  grew  up  in  America. 
While  studying  overseas  is  nothing 
new  forOrientals,  Jeannie  commends 
Alvin  and  Sam  for  being  "brave  and 


bonds;  their  culture  and  college. 


adventuresome." 

Speaking  of  brave  and  adven- 
turesome, Alvin  and  Sam  say  they  I 
admire  SC's  student  rr 
spreading  the  Gospel  to  ( 
like  Thailand.  Alvin  says  it  is  impor- 
tant that  SMs  respect  the  Thai  cul- 
ture. "Thais  have  three  main  beliefs; 
the  King,  the  religion  (Buddhism), 
and  the  country.   You  cannot  sepa- 
rate these. . . .  You  cannot  look  down  1 
on  their  religion."    Alvin  and  Sam 
suggest  that  SMs  to  Thailand  stay 
away  from  deep  theology.  "Stories  I 
about  Christ  [work  the  best]."  says 
Alvin.  "It's  the  sincerity  that  mat- 
Someday,  Alvin  and  Sam,  too, 
will  again  make  the  journey  around  I 
the  world  to  their  homes.  Sam  hopes  I 
to  return  to  Laos  as  an  Adventist  I 
minister.   "I  want  to  do  something  | 
good  for  our  church,"  he  s  . 

For  now,  though,  Alvin  and  Sam  j 
have  only  vivid  memories— Alvr 
says  he  sometimes  wakes  up  and  I 
thinks  he  is  back  in  Thailand-flf| 
their  homeland.  And  they  have  each  I 
other.  And  they  have  a  God  who  | 
understands  Thai. 

Alvin  prays  a  prayer  of  thanks^ 
"I  thank  God  for  giving  me  good  I 
parents  and  [for]  being  bom  into  a  I 
Christian  family. . .  in  a  country  like  I 
Thailand." 

And  Sam  prays  a  prayer  of  hope. 
"I  pray  every  time."  he  says,  "For 
[my  family's]  security  and  I  also 
pray  that  someday  maybe  God  win 
allow  me  to  work  through  my  fam- 
ily. I  would  like  them  to  become 
Christian."

It%CJ#  ▼•        The  Student  is  Always  Right  by  Rick  Mann 


The  way  American  business 
treats  customers  has  changed  over 
the  past  decade.  Managers  and  sales- 
men now  understand  that  quality, 
service,  and  a  semblance  of  a  caring 
attitude  is  what  keeps  customers 
smiling  and  buying.  Gone  are  the 
non-caring  attitudes  andhassling  with 
unsatisfied  buyers.  Even  if  the  bad 
attitude  remains,  at  least  it's  covered 
over  with  customer  relation  depart- 
ments, toll-free  numbers,  and  the 
"free  Subway  sub  if  we  forget  to  say 
"Thank -you!'" 

But  sometimes  I  wonder  why  the 
"customer  is  always  right"  attitude 
disappears  when  I  talk  to  people  in 
various  offices  on  campus.  It's  as  if 
the  person  behind  the  desk  considers 
il  out  privilege  to  be  there  convers- 
ing with  them — like  we're  the  lucky 
ones.  But  for  me,  an  $  1 1 ,000  private 
education  should  be  considered  a 
service  rather  than  a  privilege.  Is  it 
too  much  to  be  treated  with  a  little 
respect  like  a  paying  customer?  I 
know  I'll  probably  get  short,  terse 
and  unsympathetic  help  at  the  De- 
partment of  Motor  Vehicles  but  not 
in  an  academic  department  or  Wright 
Hall. 


Everyone  has  a  favorite  story  to 
tell  about  mistreatment  somewhere 
on  campus,  so  here's  one  of  mine. 
It's  the  recent  but  infamous,  "Fi- 
nance Incident  of  '92"  {please  hum 
the  theme  to  Dragnet  for  effect).  I'll 
try  to  stick  to  just  the  facts,  ma'am. 

One  particular  morning  several 
days  before  registration,  I  needed  a 
five-minute  conversation  with  a  fi- 
nance counselor  to  clear  my  registra- 
tion pass.  I  got  there  at  7:30  a.m.  (30 
minutes  before  opening)  to  be  one  of 
the  first  in  line.  An  hour  and  a  half 
later  I  was  still  waiting  because  the 
staff  were  caught  in  an  extended 
meeting.  I  didn't  like  the  fact  I  had  to 
wait,  but  I  did  understand  the  current 
stress  level  and  the  need  for  meetings 
with  registration  only  a  few  days 
away,  On  the  other  hand,  Ihadtobe 
at  work  by  9:30  a.m.,  so  I  calmly 
explained  my  situation  to  an  office 
worker.  I  asked  if  the  counselor 
could  call  me  back  for  five  minutes 
sometime  that  afternoon. 

"Sorry  she  isn't  accepting  any 
messages  today,"  came  the  short  and 
prepared  statement. 

"Yes,  I  understand,  but  I  've  been 
wailing  for  an  hour-and-a-half  this 


morning . . .  could  she  please  call  me 
for  just  fiveminutes?"  I  asked  again, 
"I  won't  have  any  time  later  this 
week  to  do  this." 

"I'm  sorry,  but  she  can' t  do  that." 
"Why?"  I  asked,  growing  rest- 

"They're  very  busy  right  now 
and  can  only  see  you  here  in  the 

"Okay,  but  I've  been  waiting  for 

90  minutes  already.  .  .  it's  not  my 
fault  Ican't  wait  another  hour. . .  it'll 
only  take  five  minutes. . . ." 

"You'll  either  have  to  wait  now 
or  come  back  later." 

"I  can't,"  I  replied,  becoming 
calmly  perturbed.  "I'll  be  at  work  for 
therestoftheday.  Whydoyouthink 
I  was  here  at  7:30  in  the  morning?" 

Okay,  that's  enough  dialogue  to 
get  the  gist  of  our,  *ahem*,  conver- 
sation. As  I  was  walking  out  of  the 
office,  I  bumped  into  Donna  Myers 
who  was  walking  out  of  her  meeting. 
I  quietly  explained  my  situation  to 
her  and  left  her  my  work  number. 
She  called  back  later  that  afternoon 
and  we  worked  things  out.  It  only 
took  five  minutes. 

Donna  understood  that  I  should 


be  treated  like  a  paying  customer,  a 
mature  adult,  a  regular  human 
for  that  matter.    I  didn't  demand  I 
respect,  immediate  attention,  oreven 
a  hug  from  anyone  in  the  office,  just 
to  be  treated  fairly  and  decently. 
Donna  did  that,  as  she  always  has  for  I 
the  past  three-and-a-half  years  when  I 
working  with  me,  and  I  appreciate  I 
that.  ! 

I  have  other  examples  of  good  I 
and  poor  service,  but  overall,  there  is  I 
far  more  positive  stories  than  nega- 1 
tive  ones.    The  school's  regis1 
Mary  Elam,  went  20  minutes  into  her 
lunch  houronedaytohelp  me  change  I 
my  major  for  the  fifth  time. 
Spears,  a  now  retired  business  pro-| 
fessor,  called  me  on  the  phone  when  I

American  Government  students  An- 
gela Dyer,  Jennifer  Schmidt,  and 
Andy  Nash  debated  the  views  of 
Clinton,  Perot,  and  Bush  Tuesday 
for  130  Spaulding  elementary  school 
students  (grades6-8).  Mrs.  Haughee 
of  Spaulding  moderated  theone  hour 
debate  while  three  student  panelists 
asked  the  questions. 

As  in  the  recent  presidential  de- 
bates, Dyer,  Schmidt,  and  Nash  had 
their  share  of  sharp  exchanges.  This 
time  the  tone  was  a  bit  more  friendly. 
Early  on.  Dyer  compared  President 
Bush's  vision  to  a  horse  with  blind- 
ers on.  "Nothing  will  scare  him,"  she 
said.  "He  won't  do  anything  but  plow 
in  a  straight  row." 

"Bill  Clinton,"  said  Nash,  "Says 
he  stands  for  change,  and  that's  ex- 
actly what  he  does --he  changes  what 
he  stands  for  all  the  time." 

"As  I  see  it,"  said  Schmidt,  "Both 
Bush  and  Clinton  are  ignoring  the 
main  problems."  That,  she  said,  will 
not  happen  with  Ross  Perot

On  Tuesday,  October  13,  the 
College  Board,  a  national  coJIoLnaic 
organization,  declared  that  the  cost 
of  attending  public  colleges  and  uni- 
versities have  enlarged,  far  ahead  of 
the  government's  financial  aid,  lo 
10%  this  fall.  The  increase 
was  13%  last  year. 

Julia  Pinia,  a  financial 
aid  specialist  at  UTC,  said 
that  UTC's  out-of-state  tu- 
ition has  reached  $4,838  per 
year.  Tuition  for  in-state 
students  has  hiked  to  $  1 ,670 
during  the  1991-92  school 

Meanwhile,  the  tuition 
at  four-year  private  institu- 

urrently  averages  $  1 0,498,  up 
percent  when  inflation  rate 
was  3.1  percent. 

Last  year,  attending  SC  cost 
$7,100.  Its  1992-93  tuitionis$7,500. 
Adding  to  this  amount  is  about  $3,200 
for  room  and  board.  SC  ranks  third 
for  low  expenses  among  the  colleges 
operated  within  the  Southern  Union. 
It  is  preceded  by  Union  College  and 
Southwestern  Adventist  College 


which  estimated  costs  are  $10,610 
and  $10,480,  respectively. 

Ken  Norton,  SC's  Director  of 
Student  Finance  stated:  "Our  ap- 
proximate overall  increase  over  five 
years  is  5  to  6  percent. 

In  this  October's  Student  Aid

ing  changes  in  percentage  hides  the 
real  dollar  amount,  and  advises  pri 
vate  schools  to  maintain  tuition  in- 
creases to  less  than  four  percent. 
Higher  education  administrators 
don't  feel  it  is  realistic  to  expect 
tuition  and  fees  not  to  augment  while 
the  inflation  rate  goes  up. 

The  July/August  issue  of  Tim 
Journal  of  Higher  Education  ( 1 992) 
reports  thai  the  national  trend  for 


state  student  aid  funds  has  been  a 
decline  in  financial  aid  despite  "the 
greater  inflation  index." 

"Student  have  had  a  greater  diffi  - 
culty  in  meeting  their  financial 
needs,"  Norton  said,  "Because  of 
costs  that  have  increased  without 
substantial  help  form  federal  funds." 
Consequently,  affording  higher 
education  becomes  a  struggle  for 
many.  Yet.itdoesn'tseemto 
hinder  the  private  school's 
enrollment.  In  fact,  accord- 
ing to  the  "Chattanooga 
Times"  (October  14,  1992), 
enrollment  is  up  in  the  TN 

lieges  arc  the  fastest 
growing  institutions. 

Dr.  Ron  Barrow,  VP  for 
Admission  remarked:  "The 
proliferation  of  community 
colleges,  of  course,  cause  the  stu- 
dents to  rethink  aboul   spending 
$  1 0,000  when  they  can  spend  $3,000 

SC,  while  it  hasn't  experienced  a 
wide  influx  of  enrollment,  maintains 
rather  steady  numbers. 

Norton  emphasized  SC's  stable 
status  but  added:  'Trying  to  keep 
pace  with  inflation  while  keeping 
tuition  in  an  affordable  range  defi- 
nitely ferhairis  a  challenge.''"

Editorial  The  most  important  editorial 

James  A.  Dittes     [  W|H  ever  Write 


In  my  last  editorial  I  warned  of  a 
group  ofpeople  who  wanted  to  cham- 
pion a  "religious  war"  in  America.  I 
s pi'L-u laied  nn  hi iw  religious  wars  had 
ripped  apart  other  countries  like  Ire- 
land, and  feared  what  it  would  do  to 

But  after  two  weeks  of  research 
into  the  issue  of  religious  liberty,  I 
have  found  I  was  wrong.  There's  no 
religious  war  coming  to  America.  It 
ha\  already  begun. 

Even  today,  Advcnlisls  as  a  reli- 
gious minority  have  no  guaranteed 
rights  in  the  United  States,  due  to  a 
recent  decision  by  thu  Supreme  Court. 

You  may  remember  the  case  of 
Employment  vs.  Smith,  also  known 
as  the  "peyole  case."  The  state  of 
Oregon  took  the  Native  Americans 
Church  tocourt  to  prohibit  them  from 
using  the  hallucinogenic  drug,  pcyoic. 

The  court  nol  only  sided  Willi  the  stale 
of  Oregon  by  a  vote  of  6  to  3,  bul  in 
the  opinions  written  by  the  concur- 
ring judges  the  court  slated  that  a  law 
prevailed  over  religious  protestation 
if  ii  was  "facially  neutral,  generally 
applicable,  and  otherwise  valid." 

How  does  this  affect  Advenlisls 
as  a  religious  minority?  Gary  Ross,

What  is  it  like  to  be  Roomate  l

ager— that  is  cushy  and  well-paid. 
Then  you  get  to  co-write  Top  Ten

hind Create  A  Dale  and  our  upcom- 
ing Pajama  Issue  in  February. 

"I  make  people  aware  of  South- 
em  College,"  says  Calvin,  a  senior 
Marketing/Spanish  major.  In  the 
first  two  weeks  of  ihe  school  year, 
Calvin  went  out  on  a  mission  and 
brought  back  ihe  ads  that  fill  ihe 
pages  of  Accent  and  pay  for  the 
printing  and  staff  costs.  Calvin 
wants  ihese  ads  io  let  students  know 
about  what  Chattanooga  has  to  of-

Calvin  played  an  important  pan 
in  organizing  Create  A  Dale.   He 


Adventist  congressional  liaison,  ex- 
plains it  like  this.  "A  ban  on  hats  in 
government  buildings  would  satisfy 
the  new  lest  but  would  violate  the 
beliefs  of  those  whose  religions  re- 
quire that  they  cover  their  heads  at  all 
times."  A  law  of  universal  Sunday 
observance,  if  deemed  "facially  neu- 
tral... applicable...  and  valid"  would 
lake  precedence  over  those  who  pre- 
ferred to  worship  on  Saturday.  In- 
deed any  protest  by  Advcntists  prob- 
ably wouldn't  even  make  it  to  the 
Supreme  Coun.  Sunday  laws  are 
already  on  the  books  in  most  stales, 
and  75%  of  the  federal  judges  work- 
ing today  were  appointed  by  Reagan 
or  Bush,  including  4  of  Ihe  6  judges 
who  concurred  in  Employment  w 
Smith. 

Even  Judge  AntonmScalia.inhis 
majority  opinion,  admitted  that "leav- 
ingaccommodation(ofrcligiouscon- 
ducl]  to  the  political  process  will  place 
at  a  relative  disadvantage  those  reli- 
gious practices  that  are  not  widely 
engaged  in."1  George  Will,  a  noted 
conservative  columnist,  was  more  to 
the  point,  "[The  decision's]  goal  is 
the  subordination  of  religion  to  the 
political  order."2  The  magazine, 
Christian  Century  stated,  "For  reli- 


gious minorities,  what  is  at  stake  is 
often  the  ability  to  obey  their  con- 
science, sometimes  on  issues  they 
believe  essential  to  salvation."1  And 
the  National  Council  of  Churches 
called  Smith  a  "disastrous  decision." 

Fortunately  the  story  doesn't  end 
there.  Just  before  congress  recessed 
two  weeks  ago,  legislation  that  had 
been  introduced  just  after  the  Smith 
decision  was  finally  brought  to  con- 
gress in  the  form  of  the  Religious 
Freedom  Restoration  Act  (RFRA)  to 
counteract  the  court'sruling.  Stephen 
Solarz  (D-NY)  introduced  the  bill  in 
the  House  with  wide  support  and  Ted 
Kennedy  (D-Massachusetts)  intro- 
duced similar  legislation  in  the  Sen- 
ate in  order  to  get  the  bill  passed 
quickly  before  congress  adjourned. 
Unfortunately,  the  bill  was  tabled 
while  still  in  the  Senate  Judiciary 
Committee  by  Senator  Alan  Simpson 
(R-Wyoming),  an  action  believed  to 
have  been  at  the  insistence  of  Presi- 
dent Bush. 

Bush,  in  turn,  killed  RFRA  at  the 
behest  of  the  National  Right  to  Life 
Committee  and  the  U.S.  Catholic 
Bishops —  a  unique  yet  frightful  alli- 
ance of  the  protestant  right  and  Ca- 


tholicism.   These  groups  feared  ffl 
amendment  to  the  act  would  protect,! 
woman'sright  to  an  abortion  much  J 
it  protected  unique  religious  mjt 

We  are  no  longer  playii 
good  guys  and  bad  guys  in  this  eleel 
tion.  This  isn't  a  beauty  contest  or,! 
character  competition.  This  is  |jfc|

iLED   majors  face 
iew  requirements 


*  By  Lori  Pettibone    b 

Southern's  Education  Depart- 

;nt  has  made  mam  dr.isnc  changes 

ring  the  past  two  years. 

These  changes  were  the  results 

1/  educational  regulations  the 

Lie  of  Tennessee  passed  during  the 

B89-90  school  year.     George 

bbcock,  Chairman  of  the  Educa- 

bn  and  Psychology  Department. 

|id  these  new  regulations  "forced 

)  totally  re-do  all  our  teacher 

ation  programs." 

All  Education  students  planning 

n  graduating  after  May  1,  1994,are 

.v  program,  whichmeets 

e  standards  set  by  the  state. 

One  of  the  major  changes  in  this 

:w  program  is  the  discontinuation 

If  the  ELED  major.  Those  wishing 

i  the  elementary  schools 

i  choose  from  one  of  three  new 

Psychology  (for  licensure 

[-8),  Social  Science,  or  Social  and 

luralScienceStudics  (for  licensure 

)•. 

|  Because  the  new  program  requires 

;.  the  numberof  years  it  will  take 

mplete  the  degree  has  increased 

no  one  will  be  able  to  finish  in 


less  than  four  and  a  half  years. 

Students  in  the  new  program  will 
be  required  to  student  teach  for  a  full 
semester  and  will  not  be  allowed  to 
take  any  other  classes  while  they  are 
student  teaching. 

Other  new  requirements  include. 
a  foreign  language,  statistics  and 
another  math,  and  college  literature. 

The  education  building  itself  has 
also  changed  dramatically,  class- 
rooms have  been  remodeled,  wheel- 
chair ramps  have  been  added,  and  a 
teaching  materials  center  has  been 
created. 

When  the  state  sent  out  a  team 
last  April  to  evaluate  these  changes 
against  the  new  criteria,  SC  rated 
higher  than  any  of  the  other  colleges. 

Southemdid  so  well  in  the  evalu- 
ation, that  the  state  recommended

■Swirly,  Chocolate,  Sundae  Appara- 
tus? What  does  this  mean?  This  was 
■John  Ringhofer's  response  to  the 
■question,  "What  is  this  SCSA  thing 
I  anyway?"  Many  students  have  asked 
I  this  question. 

These  four  letters  seem  to  pop 
|  up  everywhere  on  campus.  Most 
,  s  this  year  begin  with  these 

I  four  Uttle  tetters.  So  what's  the  deal 
|  w"h  SCSA? 

One  can  be  assured  that  it  does 
1  stand  for  "Swirly,  Chocolate, 
|  bui,dae  Apparatus."  Howeveritdoes 
'esome  significant  meaning.  The 
I  ^A  (Student  Association)  has  be- 
I  «me  the  Southern  College  Student 
I  Association,  SCSA. 

Why  the  change?  Good  ques- 
>'°n.  John  Boskind  seems  to  think  he 
*>°*s  the  answer.  "When  the  AIA 
^nyention  was  held  on  campus  last 
I  iZ  ?a'd  Boskind<  SA  Financial 
,  We  "ad  to  call  ourselves  the 
n  order  to  be  distinguished 


SCSA  i 


from  all  the  other  student  associa- 
tions present.  The  idea  has  stuck 
ever  since."  This  seemed  to  be  the 
general  reply  from  the  SCSA  offic- 

At  the  AIA,  all  the  other  SA's 
had  long  spiels  of  letters.  "Walla 
Walla  College  was  a  mouthful, 
ASWWC,"  said  James  Dittes,  Ac- 
cent Editor,  as  he  stumbled  through 
the  five  long  letters.  "I  like  the 
change,  because  I  think  it  includes 
more  of  the  whole  student  body,  not 
just  the  officers,"  said  Dittes.  the 
founder  of  our  new  four  letter. 

Dittes  has  been  using  SCSA  in 
the  Accent  this  year  and  hopes  that  il 
will  continue  to  stick.  "I  think  it's 
cool,"  said  Dittes.  "It  sets  us  apart 
from  other  colleges."    , 

So  if  walking  down  the  Prom- 
enade or  scanning  the  Accent,  you 
have  come  across  these  four  letters, 
and  thought  "huh?"  Wonder  no 
longer.  The  SCSA  is  YOU,  the  stu- 
dent body.

Business  dep  t .  receives 
$250,000  gift 


Southern  College  was  notified  in 
May  that  the  will  of  the  late  Stephen 
C.  Poch  would  establish  a  major  gift 
for  the  business  department.  This 
bequest  of  approximately  one-quar- 
ter of  a  million  dollars  is  to  be  used  as 
an  enodwed  fund  to  provide  scholar- 
ships for  junior  and  senior  business 


majors.  The  fund,  named  "Stephen 
C.  and  E.  Marie  Poch  Shcoarship 
Fund,"  will  provide  grants  up  to 
$3,000  per  year.  Students  receiving 
schoarships  must  have  a  B  grade- 
point  average  and  have  a  financial 
need.  Poch  was  employed  for  31 
years  at  Dresser  Industries. 


25  years  ago,  during  the  1966-67 
school  year.  Southern  College  was  still 
known  as  Southern  Missionary  College. 
The  enrollment  was  around  1,500  and 
rising,  the  Vietnam  War  was  raging  and 
I  was  preparing  to  graduate. 

Wright  Hall  was  under  construc- 
tion. The  college  administration  still 
had  iheiroffices  in  Lynn  Wood  Hall  and 
would  move  into  Wright  shortly  after 
graduation.  The  girls  lived  in  what  is 
now  Talge  Hall.  Boys  living  quarters 
consisted  of  a  front  building  on  the 
present  library  site  known  as  Talge  and 
Jones  Hall,  another  building  of  the  same 
style,  looking  approximately  like  the 
present  Lynn  Wood  Hall,  located  on  the 
Prayer  Garden.  The  present  Daniells 
Hallwasthe  library.  Miller  Hall  housed 
the  music  department  and  a  fine-arts 
center  was  a  dream  of  the  future.  We 
boys  were  free  to  come  and  go  as  we 
please  until  bed  check  at  10:30  or  11 
p.m.  But  deans  assistants  locked  the 
women's  residence  hall  doors  at  that 
time  every  night.  Couples  dated  as  they 
wished  but  were  asked  to  show  no  pub- 
lic displays  of  affection. 

SMC,  as  we  then  called  it,  enjoyed 
a  positive  public  image  with  "the  field," 
partly  due  to  advertising  itself  as  being 
the  "School  of  Standards."  People  in- 
terpreted that  as  church  standards,  and 
the  school  was  attracting  many  students 
from  outside  the  Southern  Union. 

The  Vietnam  War  dominated  the 
news  of  1967.  Yet,  though  protests  and 
even  nots  occurred  regularly  on  college 
campuses  across  the  nation,  I  did  not 
take  much  interest  in  them,  and  it  seems 
most  of  my  fellows  students  didn't  ei- 


ther. Wen 

campus.  I  didn't  really  care  to  involve  I 

myself  in  that  because  I  had  always  I 
wanted  a  college  education  a 
had  a  draft  deferment. 

Nevertheless,  the  war  still  made  | 
itself  felt  on  us  peace-loving  studen 
in  subtle  ways.  I  remember  two  of  my 
friends,  Roger  Gardner  ; 
Rausch,  visiting  campus  one  Sabbath  | 
in  uniform,  insisting  they  would  never 
go  to  Vietnam.  Another  friend.  Don 
Taylor,  had  gone  into  the  Army  and 
taken  basic  training  at  Fort  Sam  Hous- 
ton, Texas.  He  and  his  sweetheart. 
Charlotte  McKee,  had  arranged  to  ( 
marry  immediately  should  tr 
mon  him.  As  it  turned  out 
assigned  him  elsewhere,  so  the\  ^Jiied 
until  summer  for  their  wedding. 

I  served  as  chairman  of  the  Pro- 
grams Committee  that  year.  The  high- 
light of  ourentertainment  was  the  block- 
buster Christmas  program  the  last  Sal- 
urday  night  before  vacation.  The  high- 
light, which  fit  in  perfectly  with  the  | 
times,  was  a  scene  of  students  protest- 
ing Santa  Claus.  I  remember  someone  I 
carry  ing  a  placard  saying  "Santa  Claui 
is  dead."  Our  sponsor.  Dr.  Gordon  | 
Hyde,  said  he  saw  great  possibilities  in 
that  scene  during  rehearsal. 

It  was  not  till  1  had  been  out  ot 
college  nearly  five  years  that  1  BmH 
got  in  tune  with  the  Vietnam  War  an 
it  implications.  I  felt  embarrassed  that 
I  had  been  naive  about  an  event  so 

I  didn't  miss  Watergate.  And  I 
have  been  "in  tune"  ever  since.

Trees  -mil  come

!  Comments  on  October  1,  1992 
editorial  "Of  Flowers  &  Trees" 
by  James  Dittes 

Wc,  in  ihe  Grounds  Depart  men  i, 
appreciate  your  interest  in  the 
beauty  of  our  campus  and  high- 
lighting it  to  your  readers.  May  I 
quote  and  comment? 

"The  1892  Hedge"  —  It  re- 
ally is  not  that  old.  It  was  planted 
in  1971. 

"S.C.  already  has  the  pretti- 
est campus  of  all  the  Adventist 
Colleges."  Wow!  Thank  you! 

"One  simply  cannot  fall  down 
without  landing  in  a  bed  of  flow- 
ers." Please  keep  your  balance. 
"The  greatest  landmarks  this 
campus  holds  are  suffering  from 
dire  neglect."  Oh  friend!  Not 
true. .  .no,  not  true.  Why,  for  23 
years  (since  I've  been  here)  we 
have  tenderly  worked  around 
their  bases,  installed  automatic 
watering,  sympathetically  re- 
moved dead  extremities,  and  even 
whispered  sweetly  to  them. 

"Many  are  thinning  at  the 
top."  So  am  I,  but. . . 

"These  trees  are  dying."  Me 
too.  The  doctors  say  this  starts 
for  humans  (over-the-hill") 
around  age  40. 

"Is  anything  being  done  to 
renovate  them."  No.  Even  the 
new  "MAUGET"  injection  feed- 
ing system  can  speed  up  the  de- 
cline. (I  have  been  trained  in  this 
technique).  We  don't  push  food 
down  a  dying  person. 

"I  find  this  wait,  chop,  and  I 
sec  method  quite  frustrating."  I 
Shouldn't  that  be  wail,  see,  and 
chop?    Now,  add  to  that,  plant  ] 
youthful  trees.     A  close  iook 
around  campus  will  prove  we  are 
doing  this.  In  fact,  a  "CENTEN- 
NIAL MEMORIAL  TREE"  will 
be  planted  with  "hoopla",  Octo- 
ber 30th  at  10:45  a.m. 

This  tree  will  take  up  the  mis- 
sion of  a  near-by,  great  "old- 
timer"  that  is  being  laid  to  rest. 

Thank  you.  James  Dittes.  for 
your  editorial! 

Thanks  to  all  the  ACCENT 
staff  for  a  superior  student  news- 
paper. 


Bible  teachers,  "Stifle  yourselves!' 

Sir: 

I  would  like  to  voice  my  opinion  concerning  Dr.  Gulley's  editorial  "The 
election  and  religious  liberty:  What  Adventist  need  to  know"  that  appeared 
in  the  Accent  October  15. 

When  I  read  Dr.  Gulley's  article,  I  became  very  curious.  So  far  the 
presidential  race  has  been  quitcclose.  Deciding  on  the  best  candidate  for  the 
job  has  not  been  an  easy  task  for  anyone  that  I  have  talked  to,  except  maybe 
for  Alex  Bryan  or  possibly  Eric  Gang.  So  naturally,  when  I  read  Dr.  Gulley's 
article  I  decided  to  look  deeper  into  the  matter  of  voting  for  religious  reasons. 
What  I  especially  noticed  about  Dr.  Gulley's  editorial  was  the  use  of 
many  quotations  from  E.G.  While  that  give  guidance  for  the  voting  Adven- 
tist. The  point  was  brought  home  with  these  quotes  thai  Adventists  should 
do  nothing  that  would  add  in  the  legislation  of  Sunday  laws  in  the  United 
Slates.  Dr.  Gulley  then  indicated  that  Bush  and  the  right  wing  conservatives 
arc  strong  favorites  in  the  achieving  the  union  of  church  and  state,  and  of  the 
passing  of  the  unconstitutional  Sunday  laws.  On  the  other  hand.  Clinton  and 
Ihe  liberals  are  presented  as  being  much  less  likely  to  pass  such  laws.  This 
all  seemed  pretty  straight  forward  until  I  did  some  reading  of  my  own. 

As  I  read  from  the  references  provided  in  Dr.  Gulley's  article,  I  found 
that  Sundays  laws  will  not  be  so  niiiL  ha  religious  issue  as  ihey  will  beasocial 
issue.  Sunday  laws  will  he  presented  as  aiding  the  country  in  going  back  to 
the  good  old  values  of  home,  family,  temperance,  and  reform.  I  The 
government  and  the  general  public  will  join  together  in  saying  that  these 
laws  are  for  the  bettering  of  society.  Those  who  oppose  them  will  be 
considered  anti-moral,  anti-family,  and  anti-American.1 

Looking  at  Clinton,  Bush,  and  Perot,  all  are  strongly  for  good  ol'  family 
values  and  government  involvement  in  helping  American  get  these  values. 
Not  that  family  values  arc  bad,  but  someday  they  will  be  connected  with  the 
Sunday  law  error.  All  the  candidates  also  seem  to  go  for  what  is  most 
popular.  From  my  study,  1  find  that  Sunday  laws  will  be  very  popular  with 
Ihe  general  public.1  Because  of  all  this,  it  seems  like  any  one  of  the 
candidates  could  be  the  man  to  aid  in  the  enforcement  of  Sunday  laws. 

However.  Dr.  Gulley's  references  also  have  a  lot  to  say  about  E.G. 
White's  views  on  politics  and  voting  in  general.  She  says,  "Whatever  the 
opinions  you  may  entertain  in  regard  to  casting  your  vote  in  political 
questions,  you  are  not  to  proclaim  it  by  pen  or  voice."'  Concerning  teachers 
in  the  Adventist  system  she  says.  "Those  who  teach  the  bible  in  our  churches 
and  our  schools  are  not  at  liberty  to  unite  in  making  apparent  their  prejudices 
for  or  against  political  men  or  measures."'  It  is  a  mistake  foryou  to  link  your 
interests  with  any  political  party,  to  cast  your  vote  with  them  or  for  them."'

There  are  other 
issues  besides 
religious  liberty 

Sir:  7 

I've  read  a  lot  about  this  election  I 
as  I'm  sure  many  of  you  have  also.  I 
am  especially  interested  in  the  ar- 
ticles written concemingreligionand  I 
politics.  I  didn't  wish  to  get  it 
the  debates  going  back  and  fori  J 
until  I  read  an  article  about  re 
liberty  and  the  election.  Idon'tknow  I 
what  your  reaction  was  but  I  learned 
a  lesson,  think  about  what  you  read,  I 
don't  just  accept  it  because  it's  fu||0f  I

of  the  writer  though,  even  if  you  I 
disagree  with  what  is  written 

The  issue.     Religious  liberty,  I 
which  I  advocate  a  great  deal.  1  ai 
very  concerned  about  the  neJitumg;  I

Don't  tell  God  when  to   cornel 

Sir: 

[  am  w riling  in  response  to  Ihe  gucsl  editorial  concerning  religious  liberty  and  the  election  that  appeared  in  the  October! 

15  issue  of  the  Accent.  I  was  very  disturbed  by  what  I  read. 

Finn  or  all,  wc  know  that  Christ's  return  will  take  place  when  all  have  had  a  chance  to  hear  the  good  news  and  not 
until  then.  We  also  know  that  a  Sunday  law  will  be  passed  before  Christ's  return.  The  author  made  the  point  that  the 
passage  ol  the  Sunday  law  lunges  ™  »  hieh  candidate  is  elected  for  President.  Tills  is  a  complete  fallacy.  The  Sunday 
law  will  be  passed  when  Christ  is  ready  to  return.  No  sooner,  no  later! 

Secondly,  the  author  noted  that  because  of  President  Bush's  promotion  for  prayer  in  public  schools  as  well  as 
monetary  support  lor  parochial  schools,  this  served  as  evidence  that  the  conservatives  would  be  the  ones  bringing  on  the  | 
Sunday  law.  The  authot  failed,  however,  torn 
government  involvement.  This  involvement  i 
less  governmental  involvement. 

Thirdly,  in  the  I960's  when  President  Kennedy,  a  Catholic,  was  elected  to  office  many  Adventists  felt  that  Ihe 
ol  the  end  was  near  and  that  the  Sunday  law  would  surely  be  passed  under  his  term  of  office,  but,  as  we  know,  it  w 
passed.  Why?  Simply  because  Ihe  time  was  not  yet  right. 

I  dobelive  that  religious  liberty  is  an  issue  we  should  study  while  deciding  whom  to  vote  for,  but  the  coming  of  Ctina 
and  the  passage  ol  the  Sunday  law  doesn't  hingeon  which  party  is  in  office.  I  surely  am  glad  to  know  that  if  Christ  welt  i

7e  have  nothing  to  fear  but...  Other  Issues 


I  would  like  lo  respond  to  Dr.  Gulley 's  article 
h  [he  Accent. 

Dr.  Gulley  claims  thai  we  as  Adventists  must 
ote  according  to  our  principles,  especially  in  the 
a  of  religious  liberty  and  temperance,  but  Dr. 
iulley  has,  in  his  attempt  to  scare  readers,  over- 
ooked  a  few  very  important  points. 

The  Supreme  Court  has  never  passed  a 

Sunday  law  or  any  law.  The  court  may  have  an 

^■nfluence  on  the  outcome  of  a  law  and  it  does 

|Bnterpret  that  law,  but  the  court  never  passes  a  law. 

■Congress  can  always  override  the  court's  inter- 

■pretations  by  passing  a  constitutional  amendment. 

I      2.)  The  court  is  currently  quite  moderate.  To 

■the  disgust  of  extreme  conservatives  and  some 

I  liberals,  Bush  nominated  Justice  Souter  to  the 

|  high  court  giving  moderates  a  three  to  four  voice 

n  the  court. 


i  years  our  own  protestant 
■based,  business  driven,  right,  representative  gov- 
|ernment  has  protected  religious  freedoms;  and 
"  t  during  the  same  time,  socialist,  left,  liberal, 
■communist,  "religionless",  governments  have  re- 
stricted religious  freedoms  to  the  point  of  enforc- 

g  a  death  decree. 
4.)  Gulley  forgets  that  liberals  have  infringed 

i  religious  freedoms  in  their  quest  for  a 

ligionless  society.  Christianity  is  considered 
■rgion  and  all  other  spiritual  viewpoints  are 
■rely  ethnic  and  cultural  diversities. 
■  5.)  Gulley  claims  that  Democrat  Presidential 
■Popeful  Gov.  Bill  Clinton's  governing  system 
|P>»  Provide  the  most  religious  freedoms  for  us 
J Americans,  but  I  ask  this,  how  can  a  government 

"managesyourlifestyleprovidereligiousfree- 

6.)  Gulley  sees  the  Christian  Coalition  as  the 

k|ng  of  Protestantism  and  Catholicism  through 

sj:.medium  of  the  Pro-Life  agenda,  which  is 

ar in  its  appearance  to  the  abolitionist  move- 


ments of  the  early  and  mid- 1 860's,  which  we  were 
counseled  to  support.  But  Gulley  for  some  reason 
does  not  see  the  political  workings  of  the  New 
Age  Movement,  which  he  himself  claims  is  noth- 
ing more  than  modem  spiritualism,  as  a  factor  in 
this  election,  but  is.  The  Environmental  Move- 
ment is  the  political  arm  of  the  New  Agers.  AI 
Gore,  a  liberal  running  for  vice-president.,  has  set 
himself  up  as  spokesperson  for  the 
talists  and  his  book  is ". .  ,a  classic  i 
their  beliefs,  of  pantheism  and  beyond."  and  that 
the  book  is  ". .  .not  the  Christian  world  view  of  all. 
He  defined  the  orthodox  Christian  world  view  in 
his  acceptance  speech  for  vice-president  and  in 
his  book  as  evil,  of  us  not  seeing  ourselves  as 
connected  either  to  each  other  or  to  the  earth."  and 
the  book".  .  .is  a  classic  exposition  of  the  beliefs 
of  the  deep  ecology  movement,  which  basically 
perceives  mankind  as  like  a  fatal  virus  to  the 
health  of  the  environment. .  .and  that  most  of  us 
have  to  be  eliminated."' 

I  don't  have  the  gift  of  prophecy  and  therefor 
I  won't  make  prophecies,  as  Dr.  Gulley  seems  to 
have,  that  say  one  political  extreme  will  do  all  of 
the  damage  to  our  rights.  I  won't  do  this  because 
I  know  that  it  takes  a  "Three-fold  union"  to  ac- 
complish this.2  There  are  at  least  two  ditches  to 
every  road  and  at  least  two  ways  to  fall  off  a  fence. 
Take  care  that  in  keeping  away  from  the  ditch  on 
the  right  that  you  don't  wreck  in  the  ditch  on  the 
left. 

You  see,  in  this  election  year,  many  people  are 
seeking  to  promote  their  agendas,  the  Democrats, 
the  Republicans,  the  Environmentalists,  the  me- 
dia, Dr.  Gulley.  and  God.  But  it  is  God's  agenda 
that  will  succeed  in  spite  of  human  intervention.  If 
it  is  God's  will  that  He  should  co 
puny  election  could  alter  that  pi

freedom  under  Bush,  is  that  the  end?  No.  History 
is  witness  to  ihe  fact  that  the  church  thrives' under 
persecution.  I  can  foresee  losing  religious  free- 
doms, and  reaching  the  rest  of  the  world  while 
under  severe  persecution.  What  about  the  coming 
of  the  end  if  Clinton  were  elected?  One  issue 
stands  out  in  my  mind,  abortion.  How  can  a 
Christian  vote  to  legalize  murder  under  the  as- 
sumption that  they  are  holding  off  the  time  of 
trouble  by  voting  for  religious  freedom.  God  is  in 
control,  Christ  will  come.  Not  because  we  have 
worked  to  make  the  end  come,  but  that  we've 
learned  to  allow  the  Holy  Spirit  lo  have  complete

In  an  election  year,  people  usually 
vote  according  to  their  pockelbooks. 
But  should  they?  This  year,  many 
people  blame  President  Bush  for  the 
recession,  forgetting  that  he  did  not 
create  it.  He  came  into  office  at  the 
end  of  the  Reagan  boom,  and  the 
recession  was  inevitable.  For  voters 
lo  expect  Washington  lo  "jumpstart" 
the  economy  and  bring  about  pros- 
perity is  to  misunderstand  how  a 
capitalistic  economic  system  func- 
tions. As  President  bush  correctly 
stated  in  the  last  debate,  "Govern- 
ment docs  not  create  jobs;  business 

The  economy  is  recovering  from 
the  recession,  albeit  more  slowly  than 
it  has  recovered  in  the  past.  Again, 
this  is  not  Ihe  fault  of  Congress  or  the 
president.  The  stunted  growth  is 
caused  by  several  factors.  Popula- 
tion growth  is  slowing,  reducing  con- 
sumer   '"mand.    Real  federal  pur- 


chases of  goods  and  services  have 
declined,  due  mostly  to  cutbacks  in 
defense  spending.  Weak  trading 
partner  economics  have  impacted  our 
exports;  the  growth  rate  of  foreign 
gross  domestic  products  is  only  half 
the  rate  of  precious  recoveries,  while 
our  nonpctroleum  imports  have  in- 
creased 12  percent  in  real  terms. 
Since  business  confidence  is  down 
because  of  the  slow  recovery  )and 
possibly  the  fear  of  a  Clinton  presi- 
dency), inventory  investment  is 
weak,  although  new  management 
techniques  arc  keeping  inventory 
under  control.  Finally,  wage  in- 
creases have  reached  a  five-year  low, 
adversely  affecting  consumer  confi- 
dence and  decreasing  consumer 
credit  purchases;  however,  consum- 
ers are  still  heavily  in  debt. 

But  the  news  isn't  all  bad.  For- 
eign domes  ticproduct  growth  ispick- 
ing  up,  which  will  modestly  boost 


our  exports,  and  ihe  depreciated  dol- 
lar makes  U.S.  goods  competitive. 
The  rate  of  inflation  is  down,  which 
may  lead  to  a  further  drop  in  long- 
term  interest  rates.  Price  stability 
brings  a  degree  of  certainty  to  the 
economy,  which  may  cause  employ- 
ment to  increase.  Productivity  is  up, 
and  growth  prospects  are  improving. 
The  electorate  should  look  at  the 
problems  the  market  system  has  not 
solved:  education,  health,  and  re- 
building the  infrastructure.  Bush  and 
Clinton  promise  to  address  these  is- 
sues but  have  not  told  the  public  how 
they  plan  lo  pay  for  them.  These 
programs  will  increase  the  federal 
deficit,  and  only  Perot  has  given  this 
problem toppriority.  Theratiooflhe 
federal  debt  to  gross  domestic  prod- 
uct fell  steadily  from  1961 -1981,  and 
while  there  were  only  two  budget 
surpluses  during  this  time,  the 
economy grewfasterthan  the  federal 


government  added  to  the  debt.  '■ 
1981,  however,  the  ratio  has  been  I 
reversed,  and  the  debt  has  been  in- 1 
creasing  at  the  rate  of  aboui  three 
percent  each  year.  If  this  trend  ci 
tinues,  the  debt  will  equal  128  per-  I 
cent  of  gross  domestic  product  in  the  I 
year  20 1 1 ,  matching  the  all-time  high 
set  in  1946.  The  federal  debt  redi-  F 
reels  saving  away  from  investment 
and  hinders  economic  growth. 

Bringing  the  federal  deb!  under  I 
control  will  require  difficult  deci-  P 
sions.  Taxing  energy  and  curtailing  j 
entitlement  programs  are  viable  op-  r 
tions.  Although  the  recovery  is  ane- 1 
mic,  the  economy  will  return  to  fuD  I

Perot: 


&■ 


By  Mark  Morton 


Some  of  my  fellow  students  may  have  noticed 
that  the  little  blue  "Bush"  pin  once  stuck  to  my  book 
bag,  is  gone!  Why?  I've  decided  to  vote  for  Ross 
Perot.  Here  are  some  of  the  reasons  behind  my 
choice. 

First  of  all,  I  believe  that  when  one  decides  who 
should  be  President,  the  choice  should  be  primarily 
determined  by  two  factors:  the  central  issue  at  stake 
in  the  election,  and  the  character  of  the  candidate. 

I  doubt  that  many  would  disagree  with  me  that 
the  central  issue  at  stake  in  this  election  is  the 
economy.  Our  economy  is  the  most  pressing  domes- 
tic issue,  and  is  also  likely  to  determine  whether  or 
notthe  United  Statesremains  the  world'sonly  super- 


on60minutes.  He  talksopenlyabout  his  marriage.  He 
tells  the  American  people  that  he  has  made  mistakes. 
He  tells  us  that  he  loves  his  wife.  I  see  how  real  this 

The  primary  season  wares  on.  Clinton  supports 
open  discussion  and  frequent  debates  among  theDemo- 
cratic  contenders.  I  see  how  willing  he  is  to  talk  about 
the  issues  and  learn  from  his  opponents.  He  even 
modifies  many  of  his  views  as  he  learns  more  from 
Tsongas,  Kerrey,  Harkin,  and  Brown.  I  see  Bill 
working  with  people — hashing  out  important 
n  television.  And  I  am  impressed. 

The  summermoves  along.  Istudy  about  Clinton's 
past.  He  is  brilliant — a  Rhodes  Scholar.  He  was  voted 
the  mosteffectivegovernorby  his  49  peers.  1  learn  that 
he  chose  public  service  in  his  small,  poor  state  over  a 
big  career  somewhere  else. 

The  calendar  continues  to  move.  I  hear  Clinton 
talk  about  the  politics  of  inclusion  rather  than  exclu- 
sion. I  hear  him  talk  about  his  concern  for  the  common 
person.  And  I  hear  him  struggle  to  explain  that  he  is  a 
loverofpeaceandnot  war — even  during  his  younger 

The  big  event  is  coming  up — the  Democratic 


ence  of  debt  the  central  economic  problem?  Because 
much  of  the  interest  the  we  payon  that  debtis  going  out 
of  the  country.  That  means  that  each  year  up  to  13.8 
percent  of  our  gross  national  product  is  lost  forever.1 
There  is  no  single  drain  on  the  amount  of  cash  avail- 
able to  invest  in  stimulating  our  economy  that  can 
compare  to  the  national  debt. 

Ross  Perot's  five-yearplan  to  destroy  this  nation's 
crouching  debt-monster  is  the  only  plan  that  is  realis- 
tic. Bush's  plan  fails  to  recognize  the  scope  of  the 
problem.  He  simply  is  not  willing  to  make  the  neces- 
sary sacrifices  (by  raising  taxes).  Clinton's  plan  is  too 
long-term.  With  a  long-term  plan  too  much  money 
will  be  paid  in  interest  and  too  little  on  the  principal, 
because  of  this  and  other  factors,  Clinton  will  likely 
5  more  than  expected  in  the  long- 

l,  and  may  at  the  same  time  be  slow  to  cut  federal

In  contrast,  Perot's  plan  outline  an  aggressive  fina 
cial  maneuver  that  demands  short-term  sacrifice  of  | 
both  government  and  the  individual. 

Another  issue  that  figures-in  here  is  politic

man  able  to  let  our  voice  be  heard. 

The  second  issue  that  we  must  consider  is  char- 1

Icountry  into  a  new  era?  The  answer  is  an  unequivo- 

s  look  at  few  issues  that  are  important. 

f  That  President  Bush  has  not  accomplished  any- 

is  the  acme  of  all  falsehoods.    Right  now,  all 

:  can  talk  about  is  the  recession,  and  how  Bush 

it  lead  the  country  through  it.  However,  Bush's 

Indling  of  the  economy  will  probably  be  remem- 

Ired  by  historians  as  the  best  of  any  president  in  this 

Intury.2  The  United  States  and  the  world  are  headed

se  of  communism,  and  the  expansion 

t  free  trade.  And,  much  of  the  credit  goes  to  President 

lush.3 

Moreover,  some  even  credit  Bush  for  the  recent 
1,  but  his  policy  has  been  just  right.  There  has 
:en  a  world-wide  slump,  and  America  is  doing  will 
bmpared  to  other  industrialized  nations.    The  last 


thing  the  country  needs  is  a  panic -crazed  president 
who  would  "start  pulling  out  all  of  the  stimulative 
fake  recovery  before  the  election."4  In  other 
words.  Bush  has  risked  re-elections  to  do  the  right 

One  of  the  many  things  he  has  done  right,  but  the 
media  tries  to  down  play,  is  foreign  policy.  Bush's 
presidency  has  been  define  by  foreign-policy  accom- 
plishments. Bush  and  Reagan  gave  us  back  the  power 
Jimmy  Carter  destroyed.6  Most  importantly,  America 
has  triumphed  over  communism.  And  Bush  and 
take  full  credit. 

Even  if  the  media  refuses  to  acknowledge  Bush's 
foreign-policy  accomplishments,  they  are  sure  not  to 
give  him  any  credit  for  accomplishing  anything  do- 
mestically. When  Bill  Clinton  says  all  the  numbers 
that  are  up  should  be  down,  and  all  the  numbers  that 
down  should  be  up,  he  is  making  and  absurd  statement. 
Inflation,  now  around  three  percent,  will  probably 
begin  its  final  plunge  to  around  twopercent.7  Now, 
if  Clinton  were  right,  we  should  have  inflation  around 
20  percent  or  so.  With  low  interest  rates  and  inflation, 
both  consumer  and  capital  purchases  will  be  encour- 
aged, as  well  ans  long-term  investment.8 

Our  nation  has  had  many  presidents  that  have 
achieved  greatness.  "And  they  were  great,  in  part, 
because  they  were  men  of  exceptional  character. 
Character  is  a  person's  values  and  judgment,  all  of 
which  come  to  play  in  the  everyday  tasks  of  a  leader.1 ' 
With  the  1992  Presidential  election  closing  in  upon  us, 
we  as  Americans  are  faced  with  a  decision:  who  to 
elect  as  our  President.  Should  the  president  be  an 
exemplar  of  character  for  all  to  emulate? 

Yes,  indeed,  "character  and  conduct  are  clearly 
linked,  and  the  personal  weaknesses  of  a  chief  execu- 
tive can  often  turn  out  to  be  public  liabilities."12   It  is 


very  important  to  "encourage  careful  scrunity  of  presi- 
dential aspirants,"  and  it  is  not  "piggish  nor  unrealistic 
to  seek  to  determine,  to  the  best  of  our  ability,  which 
presidential  aspirants  live  by  values  that  we  hope  they 
will  uphold  in  public. . .  "I3  Values  such  as  honesty, 
responsibility,  and  good  judgment  all  need  to  be  con- 
sidered. And,  "George  Bush  is  a  man  of  rules  and 
institutional  values."14  Former  associates  admire 
Bush  for  his  honest  and  tenacity."1'  "Loyalty,  mod- 
esty, competitiveness— the  qualities  are  George  Bush's 
strengths."16  This  includes  loyalty  to  his  wife  and  to

Washington,  "who  thought  about  such  things,"  there 
has  been  understanding  that  the  president  should  ex- 
emplify virtue,  dignity,  honesty,  resoluteness,  strength 
of  will,  and  personal  integrity."  "It  is  imperative  that 
we  search  for  presidential  candidates  who  can,  by 
example,  elevate  and  inspire  the  American  people, 
restoring  confidence  in  their  institutions  and  in  them-

political  skill,  but  those  skills  must  be  "connected  to  an 
effort  to  live  and  lead  by  those  values,  known  and 
declared  for  centuries,  that  link  good  character  with

-  Accent  Sports  with  Eric  Johnson 
Bump. .  .Set. . .  Spike! 

Volleyball  season  is  just  around  the  comer  and  its  time  to  head  down 

to  the  gym  and  get  in  shape  for  a  great  volleyball  season. 

This  year,  there  are  only  going  lo  be  two  leagues,  "A"  and  "B".  After 

I  looked  over  the  teams  in  both  leagues,  I  feel  the  competition  is  going  to 

be  very  strong  everywhere. 

The  game  times  will  be  at  5:00, 5:15,  and  6:30.  The  match  will  be  best 
>  out  of  three  games.  There  will  be  two  courts  set  up  in  the  gym  with 

bk.-ni.-rn.Ts  in  between  them  for  all  the  fans  to  come  and  watch. 

Volleyball  is  a  very  fast-paced  game,  with  a  lot  of  action.  When  it  is 
ing  or  cold  outside,  come  into  the  gym  where  it  will  be  warm  and  the 

competition  will  be  hot. 

The  game  of  volleyball  can  be  played  or  enjoyed  by  everyone.    It 

doesn't  matter  if  you  haven"!  played  before  or  if  you  are  ready  to  turn 

professional,  the  compi.-iiimn  will  s[j][  be  strong. 

So  come  on  out  to  the  gym  and  gel  in  on  the  action!  If  you  simply 
want  to  play,  come  over  and  watch,  its  sure  to  be  entertaining.

John  Appel  always 
in  command.  Even  though  his 
is  in  the  cellar,  there  have  been  many 
close  games  and  they  have  been  close 
because  of  Appel's  great  throwing 
ability  and  play  calling.  Because  of 
Appel's  leadership  on  the  field  he  is 
this  week's  Accent  Athlete  of  the

Ramsey  and  Chris  Stokes  played  in  a 
game  that  would  go  down  to  the  final

the  game  in  hand  when  they  captured 
a  high  snap  in  the  end  zone  for  a 
safety.  But  with  seven  seconds  to 
play,  Nolan  Coon  threw  a  touch-

store  for  him. 

As  we  drove  down  Camp  Road,  we 
were  chatting  about  our  day's  events, 
when  suddenly  out  of  nowhere  came 
lice  cars.  "Hey  Marca,  they're  follow- 
Jeff  smirked.  "Scared  ya  didn't  I."  he 
laughed.  Just  then  sirens  began  tosound, 
and  the  two  police  cars  began  pursuit.  Afterwho

came  to  the  realization  that  I  was  not  pulling  over.

pulled  up  on  either  side  of  us.  The  male  cop  got  out  of 
hiscarand  walked  towardmy  window.  I  turned  to  Jeff, 
looking  for  sympathy,  maybe  even  a  little  advice.  He 
just  looked  at  me  and  said.  "Stay  calm.  Marca.  Be 
Friendly  and  do  what  he  says."  He  then  turned  to  his 
window  and  put  his  hand  to  his  head  in  utter  disbelief 
of  my  stupidity. 

"May  I  see  your  license  ma'am."  the  police  officer 
said  sternly.  I  fumbled  through  my  purse  trying  to  find 
my  license.  It  wasn't  there.  By  this  lime  Jeff  was 
getting  a  little  miffed  with  me.  Finally  it  appeared.  I 
handed  the  officer  my  license  and  awaited  his  re- 
sponse. 


I  walked  over  to  the  cop' 
me  of  the  situation.  Meanwhile,  a  female  officer  had 
taken  Jeff  out  of  the  car  and  had  him  spread  out  against 
the  car,  with  hands  in  the  air.  I  was  then  put  into  the 
back  seal  of  the  police  car  as  Jeff  was  no  being 
searched.  Need  I  say  more?  The  two  police  officers 
brought  Jeff  to  the  police  car  where  I  was.  They 
pushed  him  in  the  car  alongside  me. 

Tears  began  falling  down  my  cheeks.  "Jeff,  I've 
never  done  a  bad  thing  in  all  my  life!"  I  cried.  "What 
are  we  going  to  do?  My  family  will  be  so  disap- 
pointed." 

"They  can't  prove  a  thing.  We  have  an  alibi  and 
witnesses."  Jeff  assured  me.  We  had  been  told  that  we 
were  seen  near  the  LifeCare  Center  at  the  time  of  three 
car  robberies.  And  that  my  poordatefii  the  description 
of  the  thief.  Jeff  continued  to  assure  me  that  things 
were  going  to  be  okay.  Although,  he  began  togetquile 
concerned. 

When  we  arrived  at  the  police  station,  we  were 
separated.  They  look  Jeff  into  a  questioning  room, 
where  he  was  lo  stay  until  everything  was  in  iis  place. 
He  was  kept  quite  busy.  He  filled  out  all  sons  of  fun 
forms  and  had  to  sign  whelher  or  not  he  wanted  a 
lawyer. 

Finally,  everything  was  in  iis  place.  I  walked  inlo 
the  prison  cell,  where  two  of  my  friends  had  set  up  a

The  Lost  Sea 

■weetwater,  Tennessee's 
Underground  adventure 


By  Acela  Baglaj L 

Nestled  at  the  base  of  a  gentle, 
•oded  hillside,  the  small,  modem 
Iding  surrounded  by  a  rustic 
oden  fence  and  brightly  colored 
looks  pleasant,  but  certainly 
of  any  historical  or  geological 
ficance. 

But  for  the  profusion  of  signs 
■aiding  the  many  wonders  the  lucky 

xpect  that  herein  lies 
K'  p:i-.'.aL'e-v-;i>  to  adventure  in  the 
ep,  dark  recesses  of  the  earth.  You 
ve  happened  upon  Craighead  Cav- 
home  of  the  Lost  Sea,  the 
test  underground  lake  in  the  world. 
While  the  lake  is  listed  in  the 
ness  book  of  World  Records,  the 
'emsaredistinguished  by  the  U.S. 
:partment  of  the  Interior  as  a  regis- 
:d  natural  landmark  because  of 
abundance  of  anthodites,or"cave 
.vers."  50  percent  of  all  of  this 
;  breed  grow  here  in  the  caverns, 
ile  the  other  half  grow  elsewhere 
the  world.  These  cave  flowers, 
'tig  withmany  interesting  rock  for- 
tions  and  active  stalagmites,  make 
caverns  of  geological  importance. 
Another  valuable  discovery  was 
bones  of  a  giant  Pleistocene  jag- 
'  that  had  apparently  gotten  lost  in 
■  dark  and  died,  leaving  the  legacy 
f  his  tracks  and  bones  for  us  to 
I  xamine  today  These  were  exca- 
ated  and  are  on  exhibit  at  the  Ameri- 
Museum  of  Natural  History  in 
v  York,  but  some  remain  on  dis- 
|lay  at  the  visitor  center  of  the  Lost 


This  prehistoric  Kitty  was  the 
earliest  of  all  known  visitors  to  tht

tory.  Thee 
their  original  ownt 
a  Cherokee  India) 
almost  a  mile  in 


;  were  named  for 
r,  chief  Craighead, 
.  Artifacts  found 
form  the  natural 
entrance  to  the  caves,  in  a  chamber 
known  as"theCounciIRoom,"prove 
that  the  caves  were  once  used  by  the 
Cherokee  people. 

Later,  the  caves  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  Civil  War,  provid- 
ing saltpeter  for  the  manufacture  of 
gunpowder  for  the  Confederate 
Army.  A  Union  spy  who  had  infil- 
trated the  caves  and  was  caught  try- 
ing to  blow  up  the  mining  opera- 
tions, was  taken  outside  and  shot. 
The  names  of  several  soldiers  were 
burned  into  the  cavem  walls  and 
remain  there  today,  a  testimony  of 
the  hands  of  our  ancestors,  and  a 
vivid  window  to  the  past. 

In  the  midst  of  all  these  historical 
and  geological  treasures,  the  lake  is 
the  most  fascinating  aspect  of  the 
Caverns.  Covering  four  and  half 
acres,  the  visible  body  of  the  lake  is 
a  clear,  teal-blue  mirror  glass,  re- 
flecting the  monstrous  expanse  of 
rocky  ceiling.  A  ride  in  a  glass- 
bottom  boat  affords  an  opportunity 
to  relax  and  take  in  the  awesome 
scenery  (and  feed  some  of  the  largest 
Rainbow  Trout  in  North  America!) 

The  guided  tour  lasts  about  an 
hour  and  I  must  admit,  I  left  our 
group  feeling  a  bit  insignificant,  and 
at  first  somewhat  uneasy.  But  tour

Dear  Classmates,  Teachers,  and 
Friends, 

Yokwe  Yuk  (Hello  to  you  or 
literally  I  Love  You)  from  Majuro, 
Marshall  Islands.  We  have  been 
here  in  Majuro  for  about  two 
months.  We  have  passed  the 
critical  three  week  period  when 
SM's  want  to  go  home  in  the  worst 

Fifth  grade  teacher  that's  what 
1  signed  up  for.  They  warned  us  in 
SM  class  we'd  be  doing  more  and 
they  were  right.  Student  Mission- 
aries do  everything  from  playing 
instruments  to  building  a  sea  wall. 
(Building  the  wall  is  hard  back 
breaking  labor  which  consists  of 
moving  heavy  rocks  into  baskets.) 

At  first  everyone  was  really 
nice  and  we  all  loved  everyone 
here,  but  after  two  weeks  they 
started  culling  off  our  water  supply 
and  giving  us  hard  labor  along  with 
our  other  duties.  For  a  week  we 
had  water  only  twice  a  day  because 
of  a  drought  which  luckily  only 
lasted  a  short  time.  I  felt  like  we 

Teaching  was  really  hard  at 
first.  Keeping  31  students  busy  is 
a  real  challenge.  I'm  their  only 
teacher  this  year.  If  my  kids  aren't 
learning,  I'm  responsible.  It's  a 
big  responsibility,  and  I'm  totally 
learning  as  I  go.  I'm  probably 
learning  more  than  they  axe. 

After  the  first  three  days  of 
school,  I  wanted  to  quit.  How  can 
a  teacher  keep  all  her  students  busy 
when  some  yell  "finished"  five 
minutes  after  they  get  the  assign-

ments,  while  others  are  still  saying, 
"Miss  Gottfrieda,  I  don't  under- 
stand!?"? How  can  I  make  myself 
be  heard  and  understood  over  the 
constant  den  of  Marshallese 
words?  Answers  to  these  questions 
have  come  slowly.  Honestly,  at 
first  I  didn't  know  how  I  would 
survive.  All  the  SM's  have  gone 
through  this  adjustment  to  the 
Marshallese  classroom.  Some 
adjusted  quicker  than  others  and

things.  I'm  still  getting  used  to  the 
sirici  discipline  these  children 
require.  It  puts  me  under  constant 
stress.  One  cannot  underhand  this 
unless  one  has  taught  here.  Even 
different  classes  are  different.  It's 
really  comforting  to  know  that  the 
fourth  grade  teacher  Miss  Gillispie 
knows  exactly  what  I'm  going 
through.  She's  helped  me  the  most 
just  by  being  there  to  listen  to  me. 

Now  the  days  go  really  fast. 
I've  learned  to  assign  extra  credit 
for  those  who  get  done  with  their 
assignments  early.  I've  learned  to 
give  rewards  for  being  good.  I've 
also  learned  to  take  each  problem 
to  God.  God  has  kept  me  sane. 

Keeping  one's  sanity  is  tough 
sometimes.  Especially  when  kids 
are  constantly  around  our  apart- 
ment, constantly  asking  for  water, 
and  looking  curiously  at  us  while 
we  eat  and  brush  our  teeth.  But, 
more  than  water  they  all  want  and 
need  attention.  There  are  so  many 
kids  though  and  they  are  always 
around.  They're  everywhere. 

Children  raise  children  here. 


They  have  to  give  each  other  the 
affection  that  they  need  because 
adults  don't  have  the  time  or  take 
the  time  to  give  their  many  chil- 
dren the  attention  they  need.  We 
experienced  mild  culture  shock 
seeing  boys  from  babies  up  to 
fifteen  and  sixteen  years-old  being 
affectionate  to  each  other  holding 
hands  or  just  putting  their  arms 
around  each  other.  Their  is  noth- 
ing homosexual  attached  to  that 
kind  of  touching  for  girls  or  guys 
here.  Guys  also  lake  care  of 
children  here  almost  as  much  as 
girls.  It's  strange  to  see  twelve  to 
eighteen  year  old  boys  carrying 
around  two  and  three  year  old 
children  all  the  time  without  a 
parent  in  sight!  Even  the  SDA 
parents  let  their  kids  roam  free 
during  church  under  another 
child's  care. 

The  guys  in  my  fifth  grade 
class  are  not  really  into  girls  yet, 
but  they  can  be  affectionate  to- 
wards each  other.  On  the  other 
hand,  they  also  fight  and  play 
soccer  and  act  tough  like  all  other 
boys.  The  kids  here  are  really  no 
different  than  American  kids;  they 
just  have  different  ways.  When 
I'm  around  kids,  I  totally  forget 
they  are  Marshallese. 

After  getting  used  to  this 
culture,  I  can  see  some  of  the 
weaknesses  in  ours.  I  also  see  that 
I  love  America.  Their  world  is  so 
small  here,  no  bigger  than 
Collegedale  to  Chattanooga,  except 
here  it  takes  an  hour  to  go  twenty 
miles.  Maximum  speed  is  30  MPH.

lined  up  in  their  private  lot — ever  on 
the  alert;  some  gorgeous  red  and 
orange  maple  trees  are  guarding  the 
edges  of  Daniel's  Hall  parking  lot. 

In  that  parking  lot  there's  a  red 
Toyota  can  bearing  a  license  plate  (I 
kid  you  not)  cut  out,  as  in  manufac- 
tured, in  the  shape  of  a  grizzly  bear 
This  plate  is  from  the  northwest  Ter- 
ritories in  Canada.  This  is  totally 
unbelievable— I  guess  NWT doesn't 
produce  too  many  plates  so  they  can 
afford  to  be  creative. 

Later  on  I  met  the  owner  of  the 
van,  Oliver  Falsness  from  Inuvik, 
NWT.  He  didn't  drive  his  van  down 
here  but  flew  in  a  Cessna  1 50  via  the 
"Great  circle  route."  He  pointed  out 
that  the  trip  took  him  about  32  hours 
which  is  slightly  less  than  the  time  it 
took  Lindbergh  to  make  his  famous 
"Spirit  of  St.  Louis"  flight  to  Paris  in 
1927.  Of  course,  Lindbergh  didn't 
make  any  rest  stops. 

Basking  in  the  sunshine  on  the 


Miller  Hal]  steps  was  a  line  of  people 
all  wearing  either  suits  or  black  and 
grey  sweaters— all  of  which  provided 
a  rather  ecclesiastical  look  to  the 
entrance!  The  students  wrote  down 
their  names  and  the  class  which  they 
had  just  attended  or  were  planning 
on  attending,  to  wit:  Luc  Sabot  and 
Bill  Largo  both  were  headed  for 
Evangelistic  Preaching  and  Loren 
Nelson  III  was  preaching  in  that  class: 
Anna  May  Warner  had  just  come 
fromParadise(isthataclass?);  Rick 
Pauley  and  Claudine  McCommell 
had  just  left  New  Testament  and 
English  History  respectively.  Cindy 
Ashbum  (in  several  shades  of  blue 
denim)  rushed  up  and  begged  to  be 
mentioned  in  this  column  (so,  we'll 
oblige).  Amy  Beckworth  assured 
me  that  the  orange  and  black  bal- 
loons would  be  up  and  the  pumpkins 
were  ready  to  be  carved  for  tonight's 
Fall  Festival  Picnic  (they  were — the 
event  was  most  successful.) 

The  whole  campus  is  a-buzz 
about  the   up-coming  election.

Amidst  cheers,  jeers,  and  doughnut 
holes,  students  impatiently  awaited 
the  resultsof  the  1992  U.S.  Presiden- 
tial election. 

November  third  at  8:02,  students 
assembled  in  the  student  center  to 
discover  who  would  be  President  for 
the  next  four  years.  Both  televisions 
in  the  student  center  were  fired  up  to 
accommodate  the  multitude  of  po- 
litical supporters.  As  usual,  CNN 
was  displayed  and  NBC  was  shown 
in  the  adjacent  lounge. 

Some  students  paraded  their  sup- 
port by  wearing  patriotic  red,  white, 
and  blue.  One  went  as  far  as  to  wear 
a  bumper  sticker. 

When  Tennessee  announced 
its  support  of  Bill  Clinton  and  Al 
Gore,  a  prominent  group  of  Demo- 
cratic persuasion  lauded  their  ap- 
proval. On  the  other  hand,  Bush- 
backs  were  rather  disappointed. 

Once  the  results  materialized,  the 
popcorn-strewn  student  centergradu- 
ally  cleared  out — some  happy  and 
some  otherwise.  Regardless  of  how 
students  felt,  Bill  Clinton  emerged 
as  the  new  President-elect  of  the 
United  States. 


Library  open  to  serve  the  public 


By  James  Dittes      \  "We'reageneralinlerestlibrary," 

^^^^^mm^^^^M  said  David  Clapp,  with  Hamilton 
County  public  library,  "aimed  pri- 
marily at  children  and  young  adults." 
The  library  will  stock  general  inter- 
est reading  materials,  such  as  how- 
to,  fiction  and  non-fiction  books. 
Though  reference  materials  will  be 
scarce  compared  to  McKee  Library, 
students  will  have  access  toacatalog 
from  the  downtown  library  which 
will  send  books  to  the  Ooltewah/ 
Collegcdale  Branch. 

"[The  library  will  have]  a  place 


"Going  to  the  library  to  study" 

I  soon  take  on  a  double  meaning. 

The  Ooltewah/Collegedale 
Branch  Library,  on  the  comer  of 
Apison  Pike,  and  Swinyar  Drive

City  Hall,  will  open  November  18, 
with  a  40,000-book  capacity.  The 
opening  celebration  will  begin  at  3 

,  and  the  library  will  remain 
open  until  9  p.m. 


for  students  to  study  and  a  general 
collection  to  use,"  said  Clapp.  For 
the  literary -minded,  that  also  means 
a  well-stocked  supply  of  classic  lit- 
erature. The  collection  will  open 
with  about  12,000  books.  McKee 
Foods  contributed  half  of  the 
$250,000  book  budget,  matching  the 
$  1 25,000  raised  within  the  Ooltewah/ 
Collegcdale  community. 

Library  hours  will  be  9  a.m.  to  6

Morbid  Passion 


I  taught  my  fust  class  in  English    Raven"  and  asked  the  class  that  very 
last  week  at  Collegedale  Academy,     question:   "How  can  we  call  Poe  a 


and  boy,  did  I  ever  learn  a  lot. 

The  topic  I  was  to  illustrate  to  a 
class  of  juniors  was  Romantic  Ameri- 
can Poetry — my  element.  There  is  a 
freedom  to  Romantic  Poetry  that 
makes  it  fun  to  leach.  And  Che  ideal- 
ism of  the  writers  themselves — 
Thoreau,  Whitman  and  Emerson  to 
nameafew — issotangibleyoucould 
almost  embrace  it.  Romantic  writers 
truly  could  write  down  the  rhythm 
and  rhyme  of  nature  and  turn  it  into 
something  tangible  too — a  three-di- 
mensional ideal  that  grabbed  you  whohadreadinAcrejt/forfourweeks 
and  carried  you  away.  the  warnings  about  the  demise  of 

So  I  talked  with  the  class  about  religious  liberty  in  America,  finally 
what  a  Romantic  was.  We  talked  got  apocalyptic  when  they  realized 
aboutemotions.andaboutidcalslhat  thai  their  money  would  be  used  to 
were  as  real  to  these  writers  as  a  brick  rebuild  America.  Even  as  I  travelled 
wall,  and  then  we  talked  aboul  Edgar  home  to  Nashville,  I  heard  people 
Allen  Poe.  speak  with  dread  about  the  next  ad- 

Poe?  Romantic?  ministration,  from  the  mechanic  who

Romantic?"  There  was  silence.  I 
smiled  at  the  depth  of  my  question.  I 
was  stunned  by  the  depth  of  the  re- 
sponse. 

One  girl  in  the  back  comer  raised 
herhand.  '"TheRaven'hasakindof 
morbid  passion  to  it,"  she  said. 
Morbid  passion.  Emotion  and  ideal- 
ism and  rhythm  and  rhyme  all 
wrapped  up  into  one.  Wow. 

As  the  results  from  the  presiden- 
tial election  sunk  in,  a  morbid  pas- 
sion gripped  our  campus.    People 


church  who  told  me  she  just  loved 
the  opinions  I  published  in  Accent — 
"My  husband  just  hates  Clinton," 
she  added.  (Obviously  she  hadn't 
read  my  opinions.) 

It  seemed  like  America  had  cho- 
sen change  Tuesday  night,  and 
couldn't  respect  itself  in  the  morn- 
ing. 

This  campaign  gripped  us  like  no 
other  because  of  the  different  ideals 
andemotionsthatmovedit.  Many  of 
us — including  myself — werecarried 
away  with  the  ideals  of  one  of  the 
three  major  sides — ideals  that  still 
seem  real  and  tangible,  even  as 
America  heaves  a  huge  sigh  of  relief 
and  waits  with  bated  breath  to  see 
history  unfold. 

Adding  to  the  passions  of  the 
campaign  was  the  morbidity  of  the 
campaign  styles.  President  Bush  and 
the  Republicans  waged  their  second 
v.iinp.n>:i]  based  on  negativity,  only 
to  be  rebuffed  by  an  equally  negative 


Democratic  assault  and  a  broadside 
from  Ross  Perot.  And  the  negativity 
of  the  campaign  scarred  more  people 
than  just  Bill  and  Hillary  Clinton. 
President  Bush,  the  man  who  had 
triumphantly  declared,  "We  finally 
kicked  this  Vietnam  thing,"  at  the 
close  of  the  Gulf  War,  reopened  those 
old  wounds  to  discredit  Governor 
Clinton's  draft  record.  On  Wednes- 
day, November  4 — the  "morning  af- 
ter"—all  that  was  left  was  the  nega- 
tivity. 

As  America  moves  into  a  new 
day  with  a  new  leader,  it's  time  to 
unite  and  work  toward  a  common 
goal — the  betterment  of  ourcountry. 
After  all,  politics  is  all  about  unit- 
ing—  uniting  different  people,  dif- 
ferent groups  and  different  ideas. 

And  as  for  morbid  passion?  Save 
them  for  Poe.  And  for  the  negativity 
and  doubt  that  remains,  I  say  let  them  ' 
have  their  reign  and  grip  thiscounlry 


the  house? 

At  Accent  there  is, 
and  the  house  couldn't 
be  happier.

monthly  fee  to  have  trunks 
"screened"  so  they  can  be  used  with

How  will  Clinton's  administration  tackle| 

health  Care?         Faculty  Guest  Editorial:  David  W.  Haley,  NHA,  MBA 


November3, 1992  has  come  and 
gone.  We  have  elected  a  new  Presi- 
dent and  the  specter  of  change 
abounds.  Many  questions  about  the 
nature  and  extent  of  the  changes  we 
can  expect  are  belatedly  being  asked. 
Many  people  are  concerned  about 
the  future  direction  of  health  care 
under  a  Clinton  administration.  The 
anxiety  seems  to  center  around  the 
fear  of  socialized  medicine  of  some 
sort  becoming  a  reality.  Many  stu- 
dents planning  careers  in  health  care 
are  concerned  about  the  related  im- 
pact on  their  chosen  professions. 

There  is  an  inviolate  triangle  of 
related  concepts  that  constitute  a 
health  care  system:  they  are  access, 
quality  of  care,  and  affordable  cost. 
President-elect  Clinton  made  "uni- 
versal access  to  quality  care  at  an 
affordable  cost,"  a  support  beam  of 
his  platform.  Most  health-care  ex- 
perts will  tell  you  that  while  this  triad 
of  goals  is  unquestionable  desirable, 
they  are  unachievableasaunit.  Con- 
ventional wisdom  dictates  that  any 
two  of  the  goals  can  be  accomplished 
at  the  expense  of  the  third.  For  ex- 
ample, we  can  have  universal  access 
and  high  quality,  but  not  at  a  low 
cost.  Perhaps  conventional  wisdom 
will  be  defied. 

Meanwhile  there  is  a  strong  con- 
sensus at  every  level  of  government 
and  industry  that  health  care  costs 
are  out  of  hand  and  must  be  brought 
under  of  control. 

I  believe  that  the  positives  in  our 
present  system  faroutweigh  the  nega- 
tives and  therefore  an  evolutionary 
change  that  effectively  addresses 
some  of  the  structural  flaws  is  neces- 
sary.   A  revolutionary  change  to  a 


system  like  Canada's  or 
Switzerland's  or  the  Netherlands'  is 

While  any  proposal  totinkerwith 

the  system  may  in  retrospect  be  iden- 
tified as  the  wedge  that  opened  the 
door  to  an  undesirable  outcome, 
Clinton's  proposal  is  not  that  radical 
and  does  not  lead  inexorably  or  in- 
evitablyto  socialized  medicine.  Am 
Isaying  that  socialized  medicine  will 
never  be  a  reality  in  this  country? 
No,  but  I  am  saying  that  the  proposal 
to  revamp  the  health  care  system  as 
set  forth  by  Clinton  during  the  cam- 
paign contributes  no  more  to  the  prob- 
ability of  such  an  occurrence  than  the 
promulgation  of  Medicare  and  Med- 
icaid did  in  1968.

President  Bush  and  Prcsii.kiii-i.lcLt 
Clinton  were  probably  more  harmo- 
nious than  discordant  in  their  pro- 
posals about  the  future  of  health  care 
in  this  country.  Clinton's  plan  basi- 
cally calls  for  all  employers  to  either 
provide  basic  health-care  coverage 
for  all  employees  or  to  pay  into  an 
uninsured  pool.  The  procedure  would

Election  Wrap-up

For  the  first  lime  in  more

Arkansas  Governor  Bill

George  Bush  to  become  the  next 
president  of  the  United  States. 
Claiming  357  electoral  votes  to

"Slick  Willie"  Clinton  and  "Ozone 
Kid"  Gore  in  the  Collegedale  pre- 
cinct. Granted  some  of  those  votes 
were  cast  by  the  heathen  (non-SDA) 
Collegedale  residents,  but  you  Ad- 
ventist  who  voted  that  way  and/or  for 
Marilyn  Lloyd  should  be  ashamed  of 
yourselves.  Just  in  case  you  hadn't 
noticed,  the  Democratic  Party  — now 
headed  and  embodied  by  Bill  Clinton 
—  stands  for  everything  we  as  Sev- 
enth-day Adventists  have  been  from 
our  founders-including  E.G.  White  - 
should  still  be,  against. 

We,  as  Seventh-day  Adventists 
do  not  believe  in  giving  out  free, 
governmental  handouts  to  everyone 
thus  encouraging  laziness  —  i.e. 
multi-generations  of  food  stamp  and 
welfare  brats.  We  believe  that  the 
Bible  as  God's  word  means  just  what 
it  says  in  stating  that  homosexuals 
will  not  get  to  heaven.  Therefore  we 
do  not  believe  that  homosexuals  will 
not  get  to  heaven.  Therefore  we  do 
not  believe  that  homosexuals  should 
serve  on  the  President's  cabinet  nor 
in  the  military  nor  should  they  have 
the  same  rights  as  normal  (Bible  man- 
dated -  man/woman)  couples.

I  was  surprised  by  the  partisan 
tone  of  Dr.  Norman  Gulley's  guest 
editorial  (October  15,  1992).  We  are 
rightly  concerned  about  the  potential 
violation  of  the  first  amendment;  so 
what  is  it?  "Congress  shall  make  no 
law  concerning  the  establishment  of 
religion  or  prohibiting  the  free  exer- 
cise thereof."  Our  religious  liberty 
defenders  seem  not  to  omit  that  last 
phrase.  It  is  the  liberals  who  are  cur- 
rently attacking  the  first  amendment! 
They  are  those  who  attempt  to  remove 
any  reference  to  God  from  the  United 
Slates  of  America.  They  are  those  who 
want  sex  education  without  morals, 
history  without  God,  and  anthropol- 
ogy without  creation  and  the  flood. 
They  are  those  whosupport  the  "right" 
to  destroy  innocent  human  life-God's 

To  my  knowledge  Ellen  White 
never  said  we  must  vote  for  the  amoral 
since  a  person  with  strong  religious 
convictions  will  someday  promote  a 
Sunday  law. .  . .

Joke  not 
taken 

Sir: 

I  would  like  to  point  out  and 
correct  an  error  I  made  in  my  article 
"A  day  in  the  life:  lab  assistants,"  in 
the  October  29  issue  of  Southern 
Accent. 

The  article  was  suppose  to  be 
humorous,  but  at  the  same  time,  com- 
plimentary to  the  Biology  Depart- 
ment and  its  lab  assignments. 

In  the  article,  I  used  a  quote  from 
Suzy  Mazat,  but  I  did  not  create  the 
right  context.  In  my  mind,  I  could 
see  Suzy  laughing  and  joking  as  she 
spoke.  However,  I  failed  to  convey 
that  jovial  tone  to  the  readers. 

I  apologize  to  the  Biology  De- 
partment and  Suzy  Mazat.  The  ar- 

make  you  look  bad.

Accent  Athlete  of  the  Week: 
Jody  Travis 


Jody  Travis  took  it  to  the  opposition 
during  the  flagball  tournament.  The 
center  played  more  like  a  tight  end, 
caicing  3  touchdowns  in  one  game. 


JodyTravisisAccen/'s  Ath- 
lete of  the  Week.  Travis  came 
alive  in  a  tournament  game  against 
Culpepper  by  catching  3  touch- 
downs, 2  extra  points  and  throw- 
ing a  touchdown  as  well.  Travis  is 
deceptive  for  someone  who  is  not 
guarded  very  lightly.  But  he  used 
the  coverage  to  his  advantage  and 
burned  the  opposition  before 
Culpepper  could  react. 

"Jody  is  a  great  athlete  and 
deserves  the  credit  that  has  been 
given  him,"  said  junior  Shawna 
Fulbright.  Travis  was  a  key  player 
in  Gettys's  win  against  Culpepper 
and  for  those  reasons,  Jody  Travis 
is  Accent's  Athlete  of  the  Week.

the  game  was  close  the  whole  way 
with  Holland  tying  the  game  at  20-20

Gettys  never  surrendered  the  lead. 

"The  season  was  great,"  said  Jody 


Evans,  who  in  1969  played  Cin- 
cinnati Reds  farm  system,  says  his 
experience  in  sports  and  betting — "I 
(used  to)  bet  on  baseball,  basketball, 
football,  dogs,  horses,  everything" — 
qualifies  him  to  make  these  asser- 

"When  I  played  there  was  talk 
about  watching  out  for  certain  people 
(who]  will  try  to  influencethe  game. 
Atfirst  this  was  totally  foreign  to  me, 
but  as  I  looked  into  it  more,  I  found 
out  there  was  something  out  there. . . 
It  is  basically  the  Mafia  and  thegam- 
bling  organizations  that  control  this." 

Evans  gave  up  both  baseball  and 
betting  upon  his  return  to  the  Adven- 
tist  church.  "It  really  comes  down  to 
the  root  of  evil — this  love  of  money. 
Getting  something  for  nothing." 

So  who  is  involved? 

Evans  names  quarterbacks  Terry 
Bradshaw  and  Dan  Pastorini  as  two 


Travis,  Gettys's  center.  "Being  on 
the  winning  team  was  even  better" 

Holland,  who  started  the  season 
0  and  5,  was  no  surprise  in  the  tour- 
nament. His  team  played  well 
throughout  the  tournament  and  were 
never  out  of  contention  in  the  cham- 
pionship game.  "Even  though  they 
were  down  20  to  7  at  one  point,"  said 
P.E.  Coach,  Steve  Jaecks,  "they  ral- 
lied back  to  give  Gettys  a  close  and 
competitive  game." 

This  game  culminated  a  great 
season  of  flagball  and  left  many  play- 
ers looking  forward  to  next  year. 


players  he  has  suspected  over  the 
years.  For  quarterbacks  to  throw 
games,  all  it  takes  is  a  soft  pass  on  a  \ 
down-and-out,  Evans  says. 

Concerning  kickers,  Evans  notes 
a  recent  Houston/Pittsburgh  game  in 
which  the  Oiler  kicker  shanked  a  39- 
yard  field  goal  in  the  closing  seconds 
of  the  game.  "Of  course,"  he  says, 
I'm  suspect  of  everything." 

And  then  there  are  the  referees. 
"One  of  the  things  a  referee  can  do  is 
call  'holding,'"  Evans  says.  ""You 
can  call  'holding'  on  any  given  play 
at  any  given  time." 

Evans  says  he  still  enjoys  NFL 
football.  "Ninety  per  cent  of  this  is 
for  real.  It's  not  a  script  as  it  is  in  bit- 
time  wrestling." 

Yet,  he  remains  skeptical.  "At 
any  point  in  time  I  could  not  prove 
this,"  says  Evans,  "but  I'm  totally 
convinced."  ,

Dear  Friends,  Teachers,  Classmates,  and  Future 
Student  Missionaries, 

Be  a  Missionary!  Suddenly  you  feel  as  if  you 
have  been  reincarnated  and  you  are  a  different 
person!  The  life  of  a  full  time  working  adult  hits  you 
like  a  typhoon.  You  have  an  awesome  responsibil- 
ity to  control  and  teach  33  seventh  graders  Five  days 
a  week  along  with  other  duties  such  as  lunch  duties, 
teaching  Sabbath  School  lessons,  and  running  Path- 
finders on  Wednesday  nights.  It  all  adds  up  to  a  lot 


of  v. 


eplay!! 


Every  other  Sunday  v 
island  such  as  Anamonic  and  all  seventeen  student 
missionaries  snorkel,  dive,  lay  out,  and  just  goof  off! 
The  snorkeling  is  awesome  here  and  I  have  even 
seen  four  sharks  when  we  have  gone  out  past  the 
reef.  Scuba  divini;  les^ms  bi:i:in  this  week  with  the 
discovery  of  the  underwater! 

The  people  here  on  Majuro  are  the  friendliest 
people  on  earth  and  show  a  love  for  each  other  like 
Ihaveneverseen  before.  On  Sabbath  afternoons  we 
go  to  the  hospikil  !ur  '.m^my  Kinds  and  there  you 
will  find  at  least  one  if  not  two  family  members  with 
each  patient! 

Branch  Sabbath  schools  are  my  favorites!  That 
iswhenalltheSM'spileinthebackofoneofoutlwo 
pick-ups  and  head  out  with  guitars  forsinging  to  the 


children!  When  we  arrive  there,  we  sing  for  fifteen 
minutes  and  then  pass  out  old  Junior  Guides,  Pri- 
mary Treasures,  and  Little  Friends!  The  story  is 
told  with  a  picture  book  and  you  usually  see  about 
30  sets  of  eyes  starring  back  at  you  with  eagerness 
beyond  belief! 

Spear  fishing  is  a  great  enjoyment  here  and 
even  a  necessity  for  survival  for  mosi  of  the  island- 
ers. I  went  spear  fishing  for  the  first  time  Saturday 
night.  I  was  able  to  observe  the  other  already 
experienced  spear  fishers  catch  some  fish  with  their 
spears.  When  I  would  get  close  to  spearing  a  fish 
however,  I  would  freak  out  and  think  of  the  fish  in 
my  fish  tank  back  in  my  classroom  and  my  love  for 
fish.  Maybe  one  of  these  days  I'll  attempt  to  spear 

AH  is  well  and  I  can  honestly  say  that  everyday 
is  a  learning  experience  not  only  for  my  students, 
but  especially  for  me.  Remember  me  in  your 
prayers  and  always  be  a  Missionary,  even  in  classes 
you  may  have  that  opportunity  to  be  the  sunlight  of 
somebody's  day!   God  bless  you  all  and  keep  in

But  you  have  to  look  closely. 

You  have  to  take  a  good  look  at 
the  shaving  mugs  and  picture  a  time 
when  Gilette  wasn't  a  household 
name.  Each  one  of  the  dozens  of 
mugs  in  the  museum  is  unique,  per- 
sonalized with  the  owner's  name  and 
a  detailed  drawing  of  his  profession 
or  other  trademark.  It  becomes  a 
game  to  guess  what  each  person  did 
for  a  living.  It's  the  same  with  the 
beersteins.  Some  of  the  designs  are 
omate,  some  simple,  some  normal, 
and  some — well,  you'd  have  to  see 
them  for  yourself. 

You  have  to  look  at  the  courting 
lamps,  a  necessity  in  the  Victorian 
age  of  moral  extremes.  When  the 
lamp  burned  out  in  the  porch-and- 
parlor  days,  the  young  man  had  to 
leave.  Imagine  a  couple  of  those  on 
Thatcher's  front  porch!  A  warning, 
guvs,  they  are  very  small.  Of  course, 
if  you  had  as  many  as  Anna  had,  you 
could  stay  out  all  night.  Funny  thing 
was,  the  one  shaped  like  Santa  Claus 
was  smaller  than  the  rest.  Maybe  the 
mistletoe  inspired  things  that  needed 
to  be  cut  short. 

You  have  to  look  at  the  coverlets 
and  appreciate  the  work  that  went 
into  them.  For  the  women  who 
sheared  the  sheep,  dyed  and  spun  the 
wool,  and  wove  it  into  intricate  de- 
signs, these  beautiful  things  were 
labors  of  love. 

You  have  to  look  at  the  bitter 
bottles,  reminders  of  the  time  when 
carnival  barkers  sold  panaceas  to  the 
illiteratemasses.  There  arc  bottles  of 
every  imaginable  and  unimaginable 
design  in  the  Houston's  collection. 
You  can  almost  hear  an  invalid  in  the 
grips  of  rheumatism  or  consumption 
calling  for  the  medicine  in  the  tur- 
key-foot bottle  or  the  fish  bottle. 

You  have  to  look — especially  if 
you're  into  physics  or  chemistry — at 
the  thousands  of  kinds  of  glass  and 
and  discover  what  went 

each  piece — gold,  copper,  mag- 

um,  urine,  tobacco,  uranium. 


You  have  to  look  at  the  twenty- 
four  pickle  casters  and  laugh  at  the 
idea  of  anyone  liking  pickles  that 

You  have  to  look  closely  if  you're 
to  find  the  personality  behind  the 
plates  and  pitchers.  Of  course,  if  you 
like  plates  andpitchers,  you  just  have 

This  museum  is  not  a  browser; 
it's  a  thinker.  If  you  don't  have  an 
imagination,  forget  it.  But  if  you  are 
ready  to  explore,  ring  the  bell  at  the 
little  two-story  house  across  the  street 
from  Hunter  Art  museum  and  be 
ushered  unto  a  quaint  world.    The 


Houston  Antique  Museum  is  not- 
for-profit  and  is  sponsored  by  Allied 
Arts.  It  is  open  Tuesday  through 
Saturday  10:00  A.M.-4:30RM.  and 
Sunday  2:00-4:30  P.M,  the  curators 
arc  helpful  and  give  persona)  lours 
through  the  house.  Their  stories  and 
statistics  are  what  bring  this  glass 
house  to  life. 

It's  not  the  symphony,  but  it  is  an 
experience.  If  you  want  a  lesson  in 
history  and  culture  outside  the  class- 
room, or  just  a  real  challenging  date, 
take  a  look  through  the  eyes  of  a  lady 
who  liked  glass.  Come  learn  the 
world  from  Anna. 


THANKS! 


I'd  like  to  say  "Thank  you"  for  all  the  flowers, 
cards  and  concern  I  received  from  everyone 
due  to  my  appendectomy  over  mid-term  break 
Unexpectedly  having  to  stay  here  and  have 
surgery,  plus  getting  a  slow  start  back  into 
things  after  break  was  a  lot  easier  to  deal  with 
because  of  the  help  and  understanding  I  got 
from  my  deans,  teachers,  students  and  the 
alumni  office  where  I  work.  Thanks  again!

Within  the  Collegedale  Church, 
A  Russian  artist  creates  a 
masterpiece

e  painting  looms  high  above  the

disciples,  changes  water  10  wine. 
Above,  the  table  is  spread  for  the  Last 
Supper.  Faroffinthedistancc  loom  the 
crosses  of  Calvary,  as  the  three  angels 
of  Revelation  fly  overhead  sounding 
their  trumpets.  An  apocalyptic  vision 
of  the  milestones  of  Christianity?  No, 
the  seminar  room  at  the  Collegedale 
Seventh-day AdventistChurch.  Where 
Daud  Akhriev  has  been  at  work  since 
May,  on  a  monumental  painting,  The 
Wedding  Feast  of  Cana. 

Daud  Akhriev  is  a  native  of 
Vladikavkaz  in  the  Republic  of 
Chechen -Ingush,  ;i  small  republic  in 
the  former  Soviet  Union  near  the  Re- 
public of  Georgia.  He  received  a  six 
yeai  degree  in  painting  from  the  Repin 
Institute  of  Painting,  Sculpture  and 
Architecture  in  St.  Petersburg.  Russia 

It  was  at  the  Repin  Institute  that 
Akhriev  met  Melissa  Hefferlin,  the 
daughter  of  Southern  Colleges  Physics 
Department  Chairman  Ray  Hefferlin. 
When  she  relumed  to  the  United  States 
alter  completing  her  studies  he  came 
back  with  her. 

"I  was  talking  with  Melissa,  and 
the  idea  to  make  a  painting  for  the 
church  came  up"  said  Akhriev,  He 
developed  five  potential  ideas  for  ihe 
painting  and  submitted  them  to  the 
church  leadership.  The  church  leadcr- 
~-hijili.nl  pl.imieil.ti  stune  point  to  com- 
mission a  work  of  art  for  the  atrium, 


part  of  a  recently  finished 
addition  to  the  church,  but  no 
plans  had  been  made. 
Akhriev's  work  was  exam- 
ined, and  he  was  commis- 
sioned to  make  the  painting. 
The  theme  of  fellowship  was 
chosen  because  it  represents 
the  purpose  of  the  new  addi- 
tion which  houses  a  kitchen,  fellow- 
ship hall  and  classrooms  for  the 
churches  children's  divisions. 

"I  gave  several  ideas,  the  idea  of 
the  wedding  feast  was  Gordon  Bietz's 
(the pastoroflhe church)" said  Akhriev. 
"The  landscape  and  message  of  three 
angels  was  what  I  put  in."  In  this 
painting,  like  his  other  works,  Akhriev 
lets  his  pamiings  evolve,  "Once  the 
simple  composition  is  in  place,  I  see 
another  comer,  so  I  began  to  work 
there,  and  then  I  see  another  comer. . ." 

From  the  initial  theme  of  fellow- 
ship, the  painting,  which  is  nine  feet 
wide  and  eighteen  feet  tall,  has  devel- 
oped and  when  finished  will  include,  in 
addition  to  the  previously  mentioned 
events,  12  miniature  scenes  of  differ- 
ent events  from  the  life  of  Christ. 

Although  the  painting  looks  almost 
completed,  it  is  not.  "It  will  lake  a  year 
to  finish",  said  Akhriev.  He  explains 
that  there  are  still  many  details  to  add. 
Like  two  of  his  favorite  artists, 
Rembrandt  and  Vermeer,  he  loves  to 
paint  the  human  figure  in  a  detailed 
representative  style,  "(in  my  work)  I 
want  to  show  the  richness  of  hands, 
laces  and  fabrics."  said  Akhriev. 


Akhriev  has  set  a  high  goal  for     he  said.  "When  I  see  tanks  and  troops 


himself.  He  strives  for  technical  per- 
fection, "I  want  to  show  what  people 
can  do  if  they  do  the  best  they  can,"  said 
Akhriev.  "My  art  teachers  taught  us  to 
paint  from  ideas,  to  paint  beauty,  do  not 
paint  your  sorrows,  paint  like  you  have 
a  happy  life,  this  is  what  I  want  to  do  in 
my  work." 

For  Akhriev,  one  of  the  joys  of  world 
working  in  America  is  the  availability 
of  high  quality  art  supplies.  "If  some- 
one had  told  me,  years  ago  that  one  day 
I  would  paint  with  canvas  from  Bel- 
gium, paints  from  Holland  and  brushes 
of  sable,  I  would  have  said,  'You  are 
crazy"'  he  says  with  a  smile. 

Another  thing  he  enjoys  are  his 
new  friends.  "I  am  so  lucky,  if  I  left 
here  I  would  leave  many  friends,"  said 
Akhriev. 

While  Akhriev  has  enjoyed  many 
new  opportunities  and  friendships,  there 
is  one  thing  that  brings  him  sadness.  It 
is  the  civil  war  taking  place  in  his 
native  republic.  He  has  many  family 
members  there,  "they  are  alive,  so  far," 


I  have  been  I  just  c 
believe  it,  I  do  not  understand  why  they  i 
are  fighting.  If  there  is  any  way  form 
to  help  stop  the  fighting  with  my  art 
would  do  it." 

Akhriev  has  not  just  set  out  to  mak 
a  painting  but  to  show  us  a  glimpse  of  | 
beauty.  If  we  all  had  the  sam 

ild  be  a  better  plat

I  admire  Sinead  O'Conner. 
Specifically,  I  admire  her  ability  to 
stand-up  for  what  she  believes  in. 
Even  though  her  expressions  of 
protest  might  not  be  considered 
tactful  by  conservative  standards, 
to  call  her  actions  radical  wouldn't 
be  fair  either. 

For  those  people  who  might  not 
know  who  O'Conner  is,  let  me  fill 
you  in.  Sinead  is  a  bald,  Irish, 
controversial  pop  singer  who 
refused  lo  appear  on  the  Grammys 
last  year  to  receive  an  award, 
wouldn't  permit  the  U.S.  national 
anthem  lo  be  played  at  one  of  her 
concerts,  and  is  .1  noted  pro-choice 
advocate.  She  has  strong  convic- 
tions on  many  subjects  ranging 
from  the  materialism  of  today's 
society  lo  ihe  freedom  of  artistic 
expression.  However,  her  most 
recent  claim  to  fame  was  an  ap- 
pearance on  Saturday  Night  Live 
several  weeks  ago. 

After  singing  a  song  by  Bob 
Marley,  Sinead  held  up  a  picture  of 
the  Pope  to  the  camera,  said,  "Let's 
fight  the  real  enemy,"  tore  the 
picture  into  several  pieces,  and 


"Some  of  us  need  a 
short,  sharp  shock" 


6  November  1992  ' 


walked  off  the  stage.  The  studio 
audience  was  quiet  for  several 
moments  afterwards.  No  applause, 
no  boos,  no  cheers— nothing  but  a 
stunned  silence.  After  the  initial 
shock  wore  off,  the  NBC  switch- 
board lit  up  with  over  3,000  calls 
protesting  her  action.  Two  weeks 
later,  an  audience  at  Madison 
Square  Garden  booed  her  when  she 
made  an  appearance  at  a  Bob 
Dylan  concert. 

In  an  interview  in  the  Nov.  9th 
issue  of  Time,  Sinead  explained 
some  of  her  actions  including  the 
S.N.L.  incident  and  her  feelings 
about  the  booing  at  the  Dylan 

The  refusal  of  her  Grammy 
award  stemmed  from  her  "objec- 
tion to  the  use  of  the  music  busi- 
ness as  a  means  of  controlling 
information  and  of  honoring  artists 
for  material  success  rather  than 
the.. .expression  of  truth"  which  she 
considers  an  artist's  job. 

Her  refusal  to  play  the  national 
anthem  at  one  of  her  concerts 
comes  from  her  assertion  that  "at 
the  time  in  this  country,  they  were 


censoring  black  artists  from  ex- 
pressing themselves.  They  were 
censoring  art,  and  they  wanted  ti 
play  their  anthem  before  an  artis 


The  torn  picture  was 
O'Conner's  way  of  protesting 
centuries  of  Catholic  influence  and 
ethical  domination  in  Ireland.  This 
influence,  she  says,  is  the  cause  of 
domestic  violence  and  child  abuse 
in  her  country,  abuse  she  experi- 
enced first  hand  as  a  child. 

Concerning  the  booing  at  the 
Dylan  concert,  she  says,  "What 
occurred  to  me  in  those  seconds 
was  that  if  this  audience  felt  like 
this,  then  they  hadn't  actually 
listened  to  what  Bob  Dylan  said, 
they  didn't  actually  get  it.  These 
are  the  people  who  supposedly 
believed  in  Dylan,  but  they've 
fallen  asleep." 

In  general,  Sinead  feels  that 
"people  are  asleep  [and]  need  a 
short,  sharp  shock.  They  need 
[something]  to  make  them  stand  up 
and  listen." 

We  could  take  a  lesson  from 
this  bald,  Irish  woman.  Too  few  of

us  firmly  believe  in  anything  of 
importance  and  stand  up  for  our 
beliefs.  Or  if  we  do,  it's  usually  in 
the  form  or  a  whiny,  complaining 
letter  to  the  editor.  I'm  afraid  too 
many  of  us  are  going  to  find 
ourselves  asleep  when  it  matters 
the  most.  We  are  going  to  sud- 
denly realize  we  hadn't  actually 
listened,  that  we  never  actually  got 
it  after  thinking  we  had  for  so  long 
after  booing  one  too  many  people 
off  the  stage. 

For  just  a  second,  look  past 
Sinead's  reasons  for  protesting, 
look  past  the  fact  that  Dylan  was  a 
dope-smoking  folk  singer  in  the 
sixties,  look  past  your  own  preju- 
dices. Look  at  something  more 
fundamental  and  basic.  Look  at 
the  simple  fact  that  Sinead 
O'Conner  stands  up  for  what  she  J 
believes  in.  How  many  of  us  ca 
honestly  say  we  do  that? 

I  admire  Sinead  O'Conner— 
not  because  of  who  she  is,  but 
because  of  what  she  does.

Speaking  of  the  Bam  Party,  let  me 
herewith  congratulate  Amy  Beckworth 
and  her  crew  for  the  tremendous  orga- 
nization in  "pulling  off"  this  event 
and  the  Election  Results  Party  on  Tues- 
day as  well.  Also,  speaking  about  the 
campus  clock  (which  we  weren't)  you 
have  probably  noticed  that  the  hands 
have  been  removed.  Thanks  to  K.R. 
Davis,  the  motor  and  related  mechani- 
cal devices  inside  have  been  shipped 
to  a  company  in  Detroit  for  repairs. 
Within  a  few  weeks  this  campus  fix- 
ture should  be  working  correctly  again. 
Tough  plastic  shields  will  cover  the 
two  faces  so  people  can't  tamper  with 
the  hands.  Also,  the  controls  will  be 
more  securely  house.  So  .  ,  .  .better 
times  are  ahead! 

On  this  dreary,  drizzly  morning 
we  may  confine  ourselves  to  visiting 
people  inside  buildings.  Coming  out 
the  back  entrance  of  Hackman  here  are 
JaniceTracey(inflamingorange)from 
New  York  City  and  Nerissa  Ash  (in 
shades  of  blue)  from  the  Bahamas — 
they  had  been  talking  and  studying 
with  friends  inside.  In  room  120.  Jeff 
Hahn  (in  his  green  Oakland  A's  T- 
shirt)  was  on  his  hands  and  knees 


taking  photographs  of  electrophoresis 
of  gells  made  form  horse  albumen 
(sound  like  some  high-powered  re- 
search going  on  here).     Dr.  Joyce 

Azevedo,exudingenthusiasm,hadjust 
finished  supervising  a  General  Biol- 
ogy lab  in  which  the  students  were 
locating  the  stages  of  mitosis  and  eight 
"nuclei"  within  the  embryo  sacs  in 
lilies.  Dr.  Steve  Nyirady  (blissfully 
not  wearing  his  "fish  tie")  was  busy 
registering  Michael  Snyderform  Palm 
Springs,  CA.  Edith  Tamas  (she's  ac- 
tually Hungarian  but  more  recently 
from  Rumania)  was  dashing  up  the 
front  steps,  happy  to  have  her  registra- 
tion forms  completed. 

Inside  the  Student  Center,  Dennis 
Villemain  from  Florida  and  Jill 
Boughman  from  the  Philippines  were 
busy  studying  for  a  "terrible"  test  in 
Pediatrics  to  be  taken  later  on  today. 
Lynita  Hileman  (also  from  Florida) 
was  seated  on  top  of  one  of  the  Student 
Center  "mountains"  waiting  for  the 
cafeteria  to  open.  Meanwhile  Scott 
Flemmer  (in  a  bright  red  plaid  shirt 
with  knap  sack  to  match)  was  contem- 
plating United  States  wall  map.  He's 
from  Lawrenceburg,  TN  (straight  west 
of  here  and  south  of  Nashville). 

The  rain  has  stopped  and  out  on 
the  sidewalk  here  are  two  smiling  co- 
eds shuffling  through  the  leaves  on 
their  way  to  practice  in  Mabel  Wood 
Hall  (that's  the  music  building)— they 
are  Leslie  Cuadra  (from  New  York 


Calvin  and  Hobbes 


City)  in  a  bright  fuchsia  shirt  and 
Glenda  Galzote  (from  Hawaii)  in  a 
checked  coat.  Glenda  reminded  me 
that  "we  don't  have  weatherlike  this  in 
Hawaii!" 

There's  only  one  car  parked  in  the 
promenade  parking  lot— a  bright  red 
GTA-Trans  Am  from  Wisconsin.  The 
plates  have  several  little  symbolic  ar- 
tifacts strung  across  the  top:  a  red 
circle  with  a  triangle  piercing  it,  some 
undulating  green  hills,  a  bam,  a  blue 
fence,  and  some  nondescript  animals 
jumping  around,  and,  on  the  bottom, 
of  course,  "America's  Dairyland." 
Whoever  owns  this  dream  car  lives  in 
Thatcher  and  also  attends  UTC.  Secu- 
rity knows  all!  Oh,  here's  Prof.  Rick 
Halterman  striding  by  with  a  bright 
pink  plastic  bottle  in  his  hand  (no 
comment)!  AndbouncingoutofHack- 
man  is  Dani  Hayes,  wife  of  Dr.  Bill 
Hayes,  our  resident  snake  man  (herpe- 
tologist),  on  her  way  to  "deal  with" 
that  same  "terrible"  Pediatrics  test — 
my,  my,  what  is  the  Nursing  Dept.  up 
to? 

And,  so  it  goes.  The  promenade  is 
always  an  exciting  place.  Even  though 
today  is  a  little  gloomy,  lighten  up 
everyone:  two  weeks  from  today,  we'll 
be  celebrating  another  great  American 
holiday— HAPPY  THANKSGIV- 
ING!

The  Art  Appreciation  class. 
Behavioral  Science  and  Business 
Clubs  ventured  to  New  York  for  a 
week.  Reading,  talking,  sleeping,  and 
playing  with  cards  (Rook,  of  course) 
helped  pass  the  tune  due  to  the  len^iln 
ride.  "The  ride  was  nice:  biji  bus.  hi  li 
seats,  and  a  bathroom,  What  more  do 
you  need?"  said  Gerald  Davis,  physi- 
cal education  major. 

"The  trip  was  a  great  suc- 
cess. It  was  quite  exciting."  said  Bob 
Garren,  chairman  of  the  Art  Dept. 
"This  year  the  Henri  Matisse  show 
was  held  at  the  Museum  of  Modem 
Art.  People  flew  from  around  the 
world  to  see  this  show.  The  show 
was  completely  sold  out. . .  and  we 
got  tickets."  The  Guggenheim  mu- 
seum, closed  for  three  years  due  to

Guggenheim  contained  Russian 
prints  never  seen  in  the  West. 

When  not  in  museums,  time 
was  spent  on  and  off  Broadway.  Ra- 
dio City  Music  Hall's  Christmas 
show,  New  York  Philharmonic,  and 
Fantastics  were  just  a  few  of  the 
shows.  The  David  Lettcrman,  Faith 
Daniels  and  Donahue  shows  were 
also  visited  by  students  in  their  free 
time.  "It  was  great  seeing  the  things 
you  see  on  TV,"  said  Gari  Cruze, 
Public  Relations  major,  "This  trip 
was  excellent.  It  was  well  worth  the 
time  and  money." 

Bob  Garren  created  a  lasting 
experience  in  a  social/learning  envi- 
ronment. "I  want  everyone  to  learn 
something,"  said  Garren,  "there's 
nothing  more  rewarding  thenexpand- 
ing  knowledge.  The  best  part  of  it  is 
that  5-10  years  down  the  road  kids 
write  me  and  tell  me  how  much  they 
appreciated  the  New  York  Trip."

Issues  don't  die  with  elections. 
Either  they  are  confronted  and  ad- 
dressed, or  they  fester  and  grow  until 
they  blow  up  in  someone's  face. 

Take  religious  liberty,  for  in- 
stance. George  Bush  and  Bill  Clinton 
weren't  the  only  players  in  the  tug- 
of-war  between  religious  freedom 
and  religious  persecution.  Groups 
advocating  the  destruction  of  the  wall 
between  church  and  state  have  made 
strong  political  advances  in  recent 
months. 

The  scope  of  those  advances 
came  to  a  head  during  the  recent 
meetings  of  the  Republican  Gover- 
nors. The  presidential  election  had 
shown  a  split  in  the  Republican  party 
between  the  fiscal  conservatives  and 
the  religious  right.  The  big  news  of 
the  meetings  were  remarks  made  by 
Mississippi  governor,  Kirk  Fordice, 
who  said,  "The  United  States  is  a 
Christian  nation,"  and  that  any  de- 


parture from  Christian  values  would 
weaken  the  national  character. 

Fordice's  remarks  did  more  than 
show  the  ideological  extremism  of 
his  party,  they  sounded  yet  another 
knell  in  string  of  events  that  can  only 
end  in  the  loss  of  our  precious  reli- 
gious freedom. 

How  can  we  call  the  United  States 
merely  a  "Christian  nation"?  To  do 
so  is  a  slap  in  the  face  to  Jewish- 
Americans,  Muslim-Americans  and 
a  host  of  reincarnated  Shirley 
MacLaine  fanatics.  It  is  a  slap  in  the 
face  of  a  multi-cultural  American 
history.  It  is  a  blatant  disregard  for 
the  essential  precepts  our  nation  was 
founded  upon — tolerance  and  diver- 

Fordice  says  that  American  soci- 
ety was  founded  on  Christian  values. 
But  a  closer  look  reveals  nothing  of 
the  kind.  The  Greeks  created  de- 
mocracy hundreds  of  years  before 
Christ.  Our  system  of  justice  comes 


from  the  laws  of  Rome  through  the 
traditions  of  England,  not  from  the 
Ten  Commandments.  So  what  tra- 
ditions have  we  inherited  from  Chris- 
tian nations?  The  pope  ruled  many 
Christian  nations  during  the  Dark 
Ages,  and  these  nations  encouraged 
ignorance  and  persecuted  religious 
minorities.  In  fact,  America  was 
settledby  people  fleeing  these  'Chris- 
tian nations'  for  a  New  World  of 
political  and  religious  freedom.  What 
business  does  Kirk  Fordice  or  any 
other  politician  have  taking  us  back? 

But  our  country  has  so  many 
Christian  aspects.  Every  time  we  say 
the  Pledge  of  Allegiance,  we  call 
America  "one  nation  under  God;" 
and  the  words  "In  God  We  Trust"  are 
on  nearly  every  coin  and  dollar  bill. 
How  can  we  have  those  words  writ- 
ten on  American  institutions  and  not 
be  a  Christian  nation? 

The  answer  lies  in  three  Latin 
words  which  are  also  found  on  every 


coin  and  $1  bill:  EPluribusVnur^ 
out  of  many.  one.  EPluribusUnm  I 
epitomizes  diversity  and  tolerance 
for  every  generation.  Out  of  many 
Out  of  n 


cultures  and  traditions. 


Out  of  many  religious  beliefs,  gods, 
Allahs,  Hari  Krishnas,  wliatever 

The  best  reasons  for  tolerance  I 
can  also  be  found  in  the  Pledge  of  I 
Allegiance  right  after  "One  nation 
under  God."  To  remain  indivisible,  f 
to  keep  liberty  and  justice  alive,  I 
America  cannot  fall  to  the  political  I 
distortions  presented  by  men  like  I 
Fordice. 

Our  goal,  no  matter  what  tl 
ligious  differences  between  Chris- 1 
tiansandJews  or  Christians  andother  I 
Christians,  should  always  be  £  | 
Pluribus  Unum  :  one  nation 
God, indivisible withiibertyandjus- 1 
tice  for  all.

'o  really  appreciate  the  scale 
of  Jeannie's  efforts,  one  only  has  to 
realize  that  every  story  or  letter  that

Jeannie's  efforts 
Herculean. 

Jeannie,  a  freshman  Education 
major  from  Collinsville,  Missis- 
sippi, came  to  Accent  as  a  real 
minutewoman,  coming  in  three  days 
before  our  first  issue  to  finish  off 
the  load.  "1  had  to  help  out  a  good 
friend,"  sheexplainswithachuckle. 
"It  was  a  good  thing  to  do." 

Her  motives  weren't  purely 
for  camaraderie  though.  Earlier 
Jeannie  had  tried  to  give  Plasma, 
only  to  rush  out  of  the  lab  at  the 
thought  of  all  that  pain,  The  $25  per 
issue  she  receives  for  typing  almost 
covers  for  the  pain. 

As  with  every  other  Accent 
staffer,  Jeannie  does  more  than  just 
her  stated  job.  She  attends  each 
staff  meeting  to  add  input

coming  stories.  She  also  cleans  up 
the  office  from  time  to  time  after 
Angie  and  I  have  ransacked  it  try- 
ing to  meet  a  deadline. 

One  of  Jeannie's  contributions 
lo  Accent  came  in  the  form  of  a  tiny 
black  kitten  named  Smudge.  After 
several  days  of  stashing  it  in  her 
room,  she  brought  it  to  the  Accent 
office  where  it  stowed  away  for 
almost  two  weeks  before  we  found 
a  home  for  it. 

There  are  a  few  hajig-ups  to 
beingAccevi/  typist.  Jeannie  names 
reporters  who  miss  deadlines,  Eric 
Johnson's  messy,  handwritten 
sports  editorials  and  "having  to  live 
in  the  office  with  JD  and  the  mess." 
Clackety  clack,  clackety

always  means  business  as  usual.

ops  on  Industrial  drive:  more  than  abrupt 


By  Brenda  Keller 


:  you've  just  j 


nSC.Infact,grad 

|  this  morning.  Now,  at  2:57  p.m., 
e  leaving  Southern  in  the 
v  Dodge  Stealth  your  par- 
s  just  gave  you,  what  is  the  last 
n  your  list  before  kissing  this 
lipus  goodbye  forever? 
■Maybe  you  would  envision  your- 
■  gleefully  gunning  it  through  the 
iveniently"  placed  stop  sign  be- 
i  Brock  Hall  which  bugged  you 

Perhaps  this  dream  is  extreme, 

for  many  students  the  stop  sign 

least  been  on  their  gripe  list 

'here  between  increased  laun- 

fees  and  salty  cafeteria  food. 

'Why  stop  when  there's  nothing 

'  for?"  wondered  Delton  Chen, 

jr  Education  major,  who  was 

iketed  last  year  for  running  the 

"I  can  see  the  need  for  a  sign  of 

sort,  but  my  suggestion  is  to 

'stop  for  pedestrians'  sign  like 

le  at  Summerour  Hall,"  he  said. 

ay  Lacey,  Grouds  Department 

tor,  designed  the  new  parking 

id  stop  sign  area  last  year.  He 

several  reasons  for  a  full  stop 

pi  instead  of  ayield  for  pedestrians 

pi.    For  one  thing,  it  was  very 


difficult  to  design  the  lower  level 
Brock  parking  lot  so  that  it  would 
accommodate  two  rows  of  cars 
Consquently,  the  angle  at  which  driv- 
ers must  rum  out  of  the  lot  onto 
Industrial  Drive  is  very  sharp,  caus- 
ing  right-turners  to  swing  wide.  Also, 
cars  are  parked  close  to  the  street, 
impairing  drivers*  view  of  persons 
entering  the  crosswalk.  Visibility  of 
pedestrians  is  also  cut  short  by  the 
sharp  curve  of  Industrial  Drive  near 
the  Grounds  Department.  Lacey  says 
another  factor  includes  the  many 
large  vehicles,  including  UPS,  deliv- 
ery trucks  and  grounds  vehicles,  that 
use  Industrial  Drive.  Adding  to  the 
the  congestion,  Service  and  Grounds 
workers  frequently  cross  the  street 
behind  Brock  Hall. 

"I  have  found  the  stop  sign  help- 
ful when  I'm  coming  out  of  the  park- 
ing lot,"  said  Dr.  Douglas  Bennett, 
Religion  professor.  "I  almost  got  hit 
twice  before  the  stop  signs  were 
there,"  said  Jeanne  Dickinson,  who 
also  feels  the  stop  signs  are  neces- 
sary. But  Lori  Pettibone,  who  works 
at  the  Service  Department  and  crosses 
the  street  often,  feels  that  the  stop 
sign  has  not  changed  anything. 
"People  who  are  polite  enough  to 
stopfor  pedestrians  will  stop  whether 
there  is  a  stop  sign  or  not,"  she  said. 


The  safety  of  students 
the  college  administration,  says  Dr. 
Sahly.  In  the  past  the  condition  of  the 
road  somewhat  controlled  the  speed, 
but  now  vehicles  on  Industrial  Drive 
have  been  clocked  traveling  faster 
than  40  mph,  more  that  twice  the 
speed  limit.  But  Sahly  says  the  ad- 
ministration has  not  taken  a  strict 
stand  on  enforcement  of  the  stop 
sign. 


Dale  Tyrrell,  Campus  Safety, 
says  he  has  not  told  his  employees  to 
sit  and  write  tickets  for  stop  sign 
violations,  but  many  warnings  have 
been  given.  "We  want  people  to 
think  safety  and  obey  the  signs," 
says  Sahly.  "I  am  open  to  sugges- 
tions from  students  to  help  solve  the 
problem.  We  are  not  trying  to  be 
antagonistic.  We  are  just  concerned 
to  have  a  safe,  orderly  campus."

Greenleaf  described  the  two-vol- 
ume book  as  a  "wonderful  opportu- 
nity to  inform  students  about  what 
the  church  has  done  in  Latin  America 
and  the  Caribbean."  But  the  project 
turned  into  a  two-volume  1,000  page 
book,  which  is  too  much  reading  for 
a  class,  says  Greenleaf. 

The  book  is  useful  to  the  Adven- 
tist  denomination.  Andrews  Univer- 
sity Press  plans  to  distribute  it  to 
Adventist  college  libraries,  Adven- 
tist  book  stores,  and  150  books  for 
the  South  American  and  Inter-Ameri- 
can division. 

He  began  collecting  information 
in  the  1970's.  General  Conference 
archives  and  letters,  and  minutes 
(records  of  the  divisions'  executive 
committee  meetings)  provided  much 
of  the  information.  Other  sources 
were  published  church  papers  by  the 
two  divisions,  interviews,  and  books 
about  personal  experiences  in  the 
divisions. 


Thatcher  accessible  to 
handicapped  ,-fS L 

**  |         J  By  Tonya  Crangle    | 

Although  Southern  has  remodeled  Thatcher  Hall  there  is  still  a  special 
room  that  is  not  completed. 

Southern  has  finally  assembled  handicapped  rooms  into  the  dorms.  The 
administration  office  decided  that  since  Thatcher  Hall  was  being  remodeled 
anyway  they  would  just  go  ahead  and  build  a  handicapped  room  in  the 
process. 

The  remodeling  consists  of  four  foot  showers,  a  special  kind  of  sink,  a 
folding  bench  in  the  bathroom,  and  the  rooms  are  half  the  size.  With  all  these 
improvements  the  rooms  are  more  convenient. 

Plant  services  plans  on  finishing  up  this  project  within  a  week  or  two, 
they  hope.  "It's  really  hard  to  have  so  many  projects  that  are  going  on  and 
to  completely  finish  them  within  a  certain  time  period,"  said  Charles  Lucas, 
Director  of  Plant  Services.

Food  Service 
asked  to  don 
Hats  and 
Hairnets 


Senate 
questions 
laundry 
fees 


a 


By  Jeffery  Neal  Martin 


You  may  think  there  is  nothingin 
the  world  like  biting  into  your  gar- 
banzo  casserole  and  finding  a  hair. 
Lately  some  students  have  been  com- 
plaining about  this  hairy  delight.  So 
much  so,  that  the  Student  Senate  sent 
Senator  Kate  Evans  to  talk  to  Earl 
Evans,  Director  of  Food  Services. 

As  a  remedy.  Mr  Evans  decided 
that  all  food  workers  should  wear 
hair  nets  or  hats,  a  policy  which  went 
into  effect  Tuesday,  November  17. 
"It  was  purely  Mr.  Evans'  decision." 
said  Senator  Evans.  "I  just  told  him 
what  had  been  talked  about  in  the 
meeting"  Evans  said. 

SomeFood  Service  workers  have 
expressed  dissatisfaction  with  the 
new  policy.  I'm  not  going  to  wear 
one,"  said  Vicki  Wilbur,  Campus 
Kitchen  Manager,  after  the  new  rule 
went  into  effect.  "1  just  run  the 
register.  If  anything  I  should  be 
protected  from  some  of  the  cards 
people  give  me." 

Several  students  have  com- 
plained about  hair  in  their  food.  "I've 
found  hair  in  my  food  at  the  Campus 
Kitchen  and  the  cafeteria,"  one  stu- 
dent claims.  "I  think  the  new  policy 
is  wonderful." 

Senator  Evans  later  said,  "If 
workers  aren't  responsible  enough 
to  keep  their  hair  out  of  the  food,  then 
they  should  not  be  working  in  food 


fc 


During  its  meeting,  November 
18,  the  SCSA  Senate  finally  got  the 
lowdown  on  laundry  fees. 

Dale  Bidwell,  SC  Vice  President 
for  Finance,  and  Helen  Durichek, 
associate  VP,  took  questions  from 
Senators  regarding  price  increases. 
They  justified  the  increases  stating 
the  Consumer  Price  Index  had  risen 
44%  in  the  ten  years  since  prices 
were  last  raised  (prices  rose  50%  in 
both  dorms)  and  that  electric  rates 
were  also  higher. 

The  contract  on  the  old  machines 
had  also  turned  sour.  The  leasing 
company  simply  collected  the  fees, 
leaving  Southern  the  electrical  and 
upkeep  costs.  The  new  washers  and 
dryers  are  owned  by  the  college  and 
will  receive  regular  upkeep  and  im- 
provements. 

"We  only  want  to  cover  costs," 
Bidwell  told  the  Senate.  "We  are  not 
heretomakeaprofil."  Southern  will 
not  know  how  well  the  new  prices 
are  covering  costs  for  about  six 
months,  but  will  not  renege  on  the 
50-cent  increase.

Southern  hosts  Acro-Fest  '92 


November  11-14. 

Some  of  the  highlights  of  the  weekend  included  watching  such  renowned 
gymnasts  as  1990  world  champions  Eugeny  Marchmko  and  Natalie  Redkova 
perform  their  duo  routine.  Three  time  world  champ  John  Beck  stunned  the 
gymnast  and  the  crowd  as  he  performed  a  triple  back  flip  orf  the  ski  floor. 

The  weekend  culminated  Saturday  night  with  each  of  the  25  teams 
performing  a  5  minute  routine  in  front  of  a  packed  gymnasium.  Southern's  Gym- 
Masters  ended  the  evening  with  a  spectacular  routine. 

"Acro-Fest  '92  was  better  than  I  ever  anlicipaled.and  I  believe  the  students 
that  participated  gained  a  lot  of  valuable  know  ledge."  stales  ( ; ym-Master  Carlyle

This  year  is  the  fourth  year  that 
students  in  the  magazine  and  feature 
article  writing  class  have  taken  on  an 
issue  of  the  Southern  Columns  as  a 
class  project. 

This  year  Michael  Lorren  is  the 
magazines  student  editor,  Joel 
Henderson  and  Suzanne  Hunt  are 
assistant  -editors. 

The  theme  is:  Today  Southern  is 
Shaping  its  Future.  Each  student  is 
writing  an  article  which  will  give 
idea  of  what  the  future  has  in 
for  Southern  College. 
"The  class  is  full  of  real  good 
iters,  and  our  addition  to  "the  Col- 
going  to  turn  out  really 


well,"  said  Lorren. 

"1  like  to  see  the  college  maga- 
zine serve  as  a  showcase  and  learn- 
ing experience  for  our  students," 
comments  Doris  Burdick,  Southern 
Columns  editor  [since  1985]  and  di- 
rector of  publications.  "It's  a  plea- 
sure to  work  with  Dr.  Lynn  Sauls  to 
give  students  this  hands-on  involve- 
ment with  the  publications  process. 

Southern  Columns  1993  winter 
issue  should  come  out  in  the  last  of 
January  or  the  first  of  February.  "In 
the  past,  student  writers  and  editors 
have  come  up  with  some  great  ideas 
and  solid  journalism,  and  this  next 
issue-the  one  the  students  are  work- 
ing on  right  now-sounds  like  it  will 
be  the  best  yet,"  said  Burdick.

Abortion  hurts  more 
than  just  the  baby 

After  reading  the  Southern  Accent  for  one  and  a  half  years,  the  article 
that  stands  out  the  most  in  my  mind  is  "What  Is  The  Church's  Stand  on 
Abortion."  (Oct.  I,  1992)  Not  only  did  I  get  a  copy  of  it  to  file,  but  I  have 
been  thinking  about  it  over  and  over.  It  takes  me  back  to  another  fall  season 
at  a  different  college. 

School  was  going  great,  my  friends  were  fun,  and  I  wasn't  going  to  let 
the  mere  prospect  of  motherhood  stop  me  in  the  middle  of  my  college  career. 
Somehow  I  scraped  together  the  cash  and  had  my  first  "surgical  operation." 
Actually  it  was  more  of  a  money-making  operation  for  them,  considering 
how  much  it  cost  for  a  few  minutes  of  their  time. 

The  first  negative  impact  hit  me  only  hours  after  leaving.  I  was 
nauseated  and  in  pain.  Not  a  word  had  been  said  to  me  about  any  adverse 
reactions;  not  a  thing  mentioned  about  the  possibility  of  sterility,  infection, 
or  death.  What  a  travesty  of  the  healing  arts! 

The  second  result  developed  gradually  with  time.  I  found  myself 
subconsciously  calculating  how  old  that  little  one  of  mine  would  have  been; 
when  the  First  birthday  would  have  been  if. . . . 

The  hardest  point  came  after  my  re-conversion  to  Christ.  Satan  tried  to 
bury  me  with  grief  and  guilt,  but  the  Lord  stood  by  me,  saying,  "She's  been 
fwgiven  for  all  her  sins!  She's  mine!"  And  I  have  the  assurance  that  I  will 
^e  my  little  one  in  the  resurrection. 

I  wish  I  could  explain  it  in  a  way  to  help  you  to  understand.  To  feel 
yourself  straining  not  to  cry,  trying  to  act  normal  as  your  unsuspecting  father 
ys.  We  love  you  and  would  want  you  to  come  to  us  if  you  ever  got  into 
^uble  (pregnancy)  and  needed  help."  To  live  the  rest  of  your  life  knowing 
•hat  the  life  you  terminated  is  irreplaceable.  To  rill  out  a  sheet  for  a  physical

Wonderful  man  that  God  brought  into  your  life  about  your  past.  To  listen  to 

p  e  m  foe  church  you  love  take  a  "pro-choice"  stand. 

But  you  wouldn't  understand  fully  unless  this  is  your  story,  too.  I  am 

en  to  write,  hoping  to  help  others  avoid  my  heartache  and  believing  that 
yone  with  my  story  needs  the  mercy  and  healing  love  of  our  tender, 
IJeavenly  Daddy.  He's  calling  continually,  "I  want  you  to  come  to  Me  for 


We  have  the  right 

We  wish  to  express  our  disappointment  with  the  backlash  of  letters  in 
response  to  Dr.  Norman  Gulley's  articles  concerning  religious  liberty  and 
the  Republican  party.  Tbe  judgemental  tone  of  the  letters  was  especially 
disturbing.  We  do  not  believe  that  Dr.  Oulley's  articles  were  an  "attempt  to 
scare  readers,"  that  he  intended  to  "make  prophecies,"  and  that  "shame  all 
over  you,  Dr.  Gulley"  was  an  appropriate  response.  If  such  were  the  case 
letters  of  a  similar  tone  should  be  sent  to  the  editors  (and  contributing 
authors)  of  Liberty  magazine,  who  indirectly  provided  Dr.  Gulley  with  much 
of  his  information.  Dr.  Gulley  has  simply  pointed  out  that  while  many  SDAs 
have  traditionally  been  Republicans  for  good  reason,  the  party  has  under- 
gone a  transformation  that  gives  pause  for  reconsideration.  Other  issues  are 
indeed  important  (including  morality  and  economics),  but  religious  liberty 
should  always  be  regarded  as  a  crucial  one  in  American  politics.  Why 
shouldn't  we  welcome  further  insight  on  the  views  of  a  political  party? 

As  for  morality,  we  were  rather  embarrassed  to  read  the  letter  of  Mr. 
Harry  Best,  who  referred  to  non-SDA  Collegedale  residents  as  "heathen," 
and  exclaimed  that  we  as  SDA's  believe  that  homosexuals  will  not  get  to 
heaven.  Who  is  he  (or  we)  to  judge?  God  loves  a  homosexual  no  less  than 
John  the  Beloved,  and  why  shouldn't  a  homosexuals  be  extended  the  same 
loving  grace  that  the  Apostle  Paul,  a  murderer,  received?  Moreover,  we 
doubt  that  the  majority  of  SDA's  share  Mr.  Best's  insensitivity  toward 
welfare  recipients.  Incidentally,  HUD  housing  and  food  stamps,  however, 
humiliating,  helped  our  family  survive  the  ordeal  of  graduate  school.  The 
system  served  us  well  when  we  needed  it  the  most. 

Thinking  the  non-Adventists  who  read  the  Accent,  we  often  cringe  when 
we  peruse  the  Letters  to  the  Editor.  Although  it  is  constructive  for  us  to 
openly  and  honestly  discuss  our  views  and  differences,  let's  try  to  be 
somewhat  kinder  and  gentler  and  less  judgemental  as  we  do  so.

Volleyball.  A  game  of  wide  variety.  From  "jungle  ball",  where 
anything  goes  on  a  sagging  net  with  as  many  people  on  the  court  as  you 
want,  to  the  complex  hitting,  setting,  and  defending  tactics  of  the  Olym. 
pics.  From  the  regulated  consistency  of  an  indoor  gym  to  the  wind 
scorching  heat,  and  blinding  sun  of  the  beach.  It  is  a  sport  for  both  sexes 
where  male  and  female  can  compete  competitively  together  or  just  enjoy 


With  extensive  Olympic  coverage  and  live  broadcasts  of  beach  volley, 
ball  on  network  and  cable,  volleyball  is  becoming  increasingly  popular 
across  the  nation  and  here  at  Southern  College.  Intramurals  are  pla\ 
with  AA,  A  and  B  leagues  so  anyone  can  participate.  Then  coming 
before  the  end  of  the  semester  is  the  three  -on-three  tournament  for  anyone 
who  wants  to  play.  There  are  pick-up  games  going  on  almost  constantly 
from  the  end  of  intramurals  until  the  gym  closes  and  often  people  play  in 
the  early  afternoon  as  well. 

Although  Tennessee  doesn't  have  many  beaches  close  by,  there  are 
sand  courts  at  Oakcrest  Apartments  and  several  area  parks  that  some  of  the 
more  avid  volleyball  players  frequently  visit  when  the  weather  is  warm. 
And  of  course,  WHEN  we  get  the  sand  courts  at  Southern,  they  will  be  well 

So,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  short  and  tall,  one  and  all,  slip  on  those  knee 
pads,  lace  up  those  shoes,  and  hit  the  court.

when  several  people  gel  together  and

Each  person  then  has  a  learn  com-

Poinls  are  awarded  for  a  variety  of 


categories.  Tfie  individual  whose

Dean  Hobbs,  who  compiles  the

SC  dorm  students  and 
current  events 


By  Andy  Nash        | 


Have  a  question  about  current 
events?  Ask  a  junior,  male,  history 


In  a  current  events 
survey  of  385  dorm  residents  No- 
vember 10-11,  Talge  residents 
outscored  Thatcher  residents,  jun- 
iors beat  all  other  classes,  and  history 

The  purpose  of  this  study  is  to 
leam  how  "In  touch"  SC  dorm  stu- 
dents are  with  current  events  and  to 
evaluate  the  data.  By  living  in  the 
dorm,  is  it  impossible  to  know  what 
is  happening  in  the  world?  Or  is 
ignorance  a  choice? 


Do  SC  dorm  students  fall  into  a 
broad  category  of  Americans  that 
"know  less,  read  less,  and  are  less 
critical  than  ever  before,"  as 
Catherine  Crier  of  CNN  describes 

Current  events — the  fall  of  com- 
munism, the  Middle  East  peace  talks, 
the  suffering  in  Eastern  Europe,  the 
starvation  in  Somalia,  the  Christian 
Coalition,  a  global  economic  slow- 
down, the  Maastricht  Treaty. 

Do  Christians  need  to  be  aware 
of  them?  Do  Southern  College  stu- 
dents need  to  be  aware  of  them?  Are

Hying  high  in  the  sky 


"Ethereal  minslrel!  Pilgrim  of 
the  sky!  Dost  thou  despise  ihc  earth 
where  cares  abound?"  If  you.  like 
the  skylark  that  inspired  William 
Wordsworth  lo  wrile  these  lines,  wish 
to  soar  above  the  earth  in  a  serene, 
windswept  sky.  you  can  fulfill  this 
dream  at  the  world-famous  Lookout 
Mountain  Flight  Park.  Whether  you 
prefer  to  live  out  your  dream  vicari- 
ously by  watching  the  hang  gliders 
gracefully  fly  through  the  air  or  are 


daring  enough  to  jumpoff  the  1.340- 
foot  high  launch  site  to  experience 
the  thrill  of  breaking  free  from  the 
chains  of  the  earth,  a  visit  to  the  hang 
gliders'  spot  will  be  an  experience 
which  sends  a  shiver  of  excitement 
through  your  soul! 

For  the  lessdaring,  the  hang  glid- 
ers'spot  offersa  fantastic  view  of  the 
Chattanooga  Valley  below.  If  your 
timing  is  right  you  can  watch  hang 
gliders  of  every  color  and  design 
soar  through  the  air  forendless  hours. 
In  the  evenings,  brush  strokes  of  deep 
oranges  and  fiery  scarlet  paint  the 
darkening  sky  as  the  city  lights  blink 
like  fireflies  dancing  in  the  distance. 

If.  however,  you  cannot  wait  lo 
run  off  the  1,340-foot  launch  site 
(with  a  hang  glider  of  course),  a 
variety  of  lessons  are  offered  by 
USHGA  pilots  ranging  in  package 
prices  from  just  $89  for  introductory 


lessons  to  S799  for  the  premier  flight 
[raining  program.  Lookout  Moun- 
tain Flight  Park  has  been  serving  the 
hang  gliding  community  since  1977 
and  has  provided  safe,  personal  les- 
sons to  over  6.500  men  and  women. 
Flyers  can  glide  cross  country  for 
130  miles  with  an  altitude  gain  of 
10.400  feet,  coming  in  for  an  easy 
landing  in  the  45-acre  landing  field. 
The  park  is  the  most  complete  hang 
gliding  center  in  the  United  States 
with  its  training  hills,  equipment, 
and  fully-stocked  Pro  Shop.  No 
matter  what  flight  package  you 
choose,  you  will  be  in  expert  hands. 
For  those  seriously  considering 
joining  the  birds,  here  are  a  few  things 
to  know:  Morning  classes  and  after- 
noon classes  are  taught  every  day  of 
the  year  except  Christmas.  In  order 
to  get  ready  for  flying,  start  walking, 
jogging,  or  climbing  stairs  for  a  few

A  day  in  the  life: 
cafeteria  hostess 


^ 


J 


Cafeteria  hostesses  Evelyn 
Moore  and  Marion  Blanco  acquaint 
each  new  freshman  class  to 
Southern's  dining  service. 

"Breaking  in  a  freshman  class  is 
exciting."  related  Mrs.  Moore.  "We 
encourage  the  students  that  this  is 
their  dining  room  away  from  home." 

"Do  you  have  a  lost  and  found 
here?"  a  female  student  inquired. 
Mrs,  Moore  pulled  out  an  identifica- 
tion card  from  her  pocket,  with  hopes 
that  she  had  finally  found  its  owner. 
No  such  luck.  The  young  woman 
was  after  something  else  so  the  host- 
ess guided  her  in  the  right  direction. 
"I  hope  I  always  have  the  right  an- 
swer," Mrs.  Moore  said  with  a  laugh. 

SC  hostesses  do  a  variety  of 
things  besides  answer  questions,  fill 
salt  shakers,  make  sure  there  are  suf- 
ficicntnapkins.waterplants.andpost 
what  is  on  the  menu  for  the  day. 

When  a  student  walked  into  the 
serving  area  for  lunch  Mrs.  Blanco 
suggested,  "I  think  there  is  room  to 
the  left."  Before  thelunchcrowdhad 


arrived.  Mrs.  Blanco  had  fretted  over 
spots  on  the  tables.  "I've  gone  over 
these  tables  many  times,"  she  la- 
mented. "I  thought  I  'd  finished  these 
two  rows  yesterday.  But  there  are 
still  spots!"  Mrs.  Blanco  concluded 
the  spots  came  from  the  contents  fo 
pop  cans. 

Twice  a  week  Mrs.  Blanco  also 
arranges  a  bulletin  board  containing 
food  for  thought.  One  day  the  board 
said,  "Prayer  changes  things.  The 
thing  it  changes  most  is  the  one  who 
prays."  Above  the  saying  hung  a 
picture  of  a  girl  with  an  open  Bible. 

Already  the  hostess  has  collected 
enough  saying  for  three  years  but  her 
goal  is  to  have  enough  for  four.  She 
files  the  accompanying  pictures  by 
seasons,  people,  holidays,  months, 
andoneformiscellaneous.  For  week- 
ends Mrs.  Blanco  chooses  a  theme  to 
set  the  "religious  tone." 

Do  most  students  know  what  the 
hostesses  do?  Tow  out  of  the  three 
interviewed  responded  correctly.  But 
a  second  year  freshman  jokingly  said, 
"Is  there  a  hostess  here?" 


Mrs.  Mabel  Moore,  one  of  the  two  hostesses  in  the  cafeteria,  chats 
with  Holly  Moores.  Moore  does  a  variety  of  duties  each  day  including 
cleaning  tables,  watching  for  shorts  and  keeping  diners  happy.

Top  Ten  reasons  for  cut- 
ting Thatcher  1-hr  parking 
lot  in  half 

From  the  Home  Office  in  the 
Shallovrford  Road  Taco  Bell 

10.  Someone  wanted  to  see  how  many  cars  ihev  could  fit  into  one, 

1-hour  parking  space. 

9.  Effort  to  consolidate  all  women's  parking  spaces  into  the  same 

county. 

8.  Says  one  concerned  village  student,  "What  were  those  speed 

bumps  for  anyway?" 

7.  Someone  had  too  much  time  on  their  hands. 

6.  After  months  of  indecision:  either  cut  the  parking  lot  in  half  or 

offer  a  full  lot  of  1/2-hour  parking. 

5.  Half  of  1-hour  parking  was  filled  with  permanent  parkers  any- 

4.  Who  ever  said  that  parking  around  Southern  College  made 

3.  A  useless  stop  sign  here,  limited  1 -hour  parking  there.  What's 

next,  a  parking  booth  at  the  entrance  to  Taylor  Circle? 

2.  It's  just  a  temporary  arrangement.  Doll  house  across  Camp 

Road  to  be  converted  to  a  full-scale  parking  garage. 

1.  Finally  Thatcher  women  can  have  dates  no  man  can  back  out  of.

officers  found  the  following  live  ani- 
mals: 48  rattlesnakes,  a  Gila  mon- 
ster; 45  non-poisonous  snakes,  67 
scorpions,  several  tarantulas  and 
small  lizards,  and  a  parrot.  Temple 
said  they  were  just  pets. 

—A  South  Korean  professor  and 


a  Buddhist  monk  made  arrangements 
in  September  to  repatriate  the  noses 
of  2,000  Koreans  slain  by  invading 
Japanese  soldiers  in  the  17lh  cen- 
tury- The  noses  had  been  taken  to 
Japan  as  proof  of  their  victory  and 
preserved  in  a  tomb. 

— In  September,  the  body  of  man 
shot  to  death  and  lied  to  a  heavy 
beam  was  pulled  from  a  river  near 
Topeka,  KS.  Investigators  believe 
the  murderer  intended  to  hamper 
identification  efforts  because  he  had 
removed  most  of  the  tattoos  from  the 
victim's  body  and  had  pulled  all  of 
the  teeth. 

— In  October,  biologists  at 
China's  Northwest  University  in 
Xian  reported  finding  a  77-pound 
slimeball  floating  on  a  river  in 
Shaanxi  province.  According  to  the 
scientists,  the  slimeball,  a  pure  white 
fungus,  gained  22  pounds  in  the  first 
three  days  the  scientists  observed  it, 
and  has  the  ability  to  move  across  the 
ground  on  its  own. 

— Three  maintenance  workers  in 
Alexandria,  Ind.,  fixed  a  massive 
street-flooding  problem  in  October 
when  they  pulled  a  200-pound 
hairball  from  a  manhole.  Said  one  of 
the  men,  "We  though  we  had  a  goal." 

INEXPLICABLE 

Among  the  topics  addressed  by 
the  San  Bernardino  (CA)  County 
Sheriffs  Department  etiquette  book 
for  deputies  are  the  proper  proce- 


dures for  how  to  cat  a  banana  (break 
it  into  pieces  and  eat  it  with  a  salad 
fork),  buffet  etiquette  (don't  load  your 
plate  and  don't  put  food  back  after 
you  take  it),  and  fashion  tips  (no 
cowboy  hats,  white  sports  coals  or 
safari  jackets). 

LEAST  COMPETENT  PERSON 

A  38-year-old  man.  unidentified 
in  news  reports,  was  hospitalized  in 
Princeton,  W.  Va..  in  October  with 
gunshot  wounds.  Hehad  been  drink- 
ing beer  and  reported  accidentally 
shooting  himself  three  times — as  he 
attempted  to  clean  each  of  his  three 
guns,  he  said  the  first  .shot  didn't 
hurt,  the  second  "stung  a  little,"  and 
the  third  "  really  hurt,"  prompting 
him  to  call  and  ambulance. 

UNDIGNIFIED  DEATHS 

David  Wayne  Godin,  22, 
drowned  near  Dartmouth,  Nova 
Scotia,  in  September  as  he  was  re- 
luming from  his  bachelor  slag  party, 
when  his  vehicle  plunged  into  a  lake. 
Attached  to  Godtn's  leg.  courtesy  of 
his  friends  at  the  party,  was  an  au- 
thentic ball  and  chain.

CaboOSe      by  Andy  Nash 


J 


Let  us  see  what  is  happening 
along  the  promenade  today....  Oh. 
wail — wrong  column. 

The  caboose  roils  into  Decem- 
ber and  no  longer  is  it  too  early  to  be 
in  the  Christmas  spirit.  It  was  be- 
fore. The  Campus  Shop  window 
clearly  says,  "Christmas  Is  Coming," 
the  Christmas  Tree  which  partially 
blocks  Talge's  view  of  Thatcher 
lights  up  every  night  now,  and  the 
Music  Department  prepares  for  their 
deluge  of  Christmas  programs.  (Did 
I  ever  tell  you  about  the  time  I  played 
a"Firefly"  in  my  second  grade  Christ- 
mas play?)  It  is,  as  they  say,  the 
season  to  be  jolly. 

But,  let  us  not  dwell  too  much  on 
December  without  first  reflecting  on 
November.... 

Of  course,  November  3  brought 
us  two  things:  a  last  chance  at  a  10% 
tuition  refund  for  withdrawals  and  a 
new  President-elect.  Some  may  joke 


Even  with  all  the  religious  lib- 
erty debate,  Coilegedale  still  went 
Republican.  As  Dr.  McArthur  said, 
"President  Bush  just  loves 
Coilegedale.  But,  alas,  the  world  is 


Yet,  Coilegedale  found  itself 
hosting  several  of  the  world's  top 
gymnasls  in  a  clinic  November  11- 
14.  The  Gym  Masters  indeed  lived 
up  to  their  name  as  they  capped  off  a 
thrilling  program  of  flipping,  flop- 
ping, and  in  John  Beck's  case,  fly- 
ing. And  how  about  that  Russian 
couple.... 

Yup,  watching  Olympic-level 
talent  for  two  hours  can  make  most 
of  our  lives  seem  a  bit  dull,  huh?  I 
mean,  what  do  we  have  that  the  big- 
shots  do  not?   Can  you  imagine  if 


WF  -

admired  throughout  the  world?... 

"Uh,  Mr.  Russian  gymnast?  My 
name  is  Andy  Nash,  and  I'm  an  A- 
league  volleyball  captain  this  year 
and  I  thought  that  maybe—" 

"You  are?  Cool!  Man,  Andy, 
you  are  incredible!  I've  always 
dreamed  of  playing  A-league  vol- 
leyball at  Southern!" 

"Excuse  me,  Tom  Brokaw,  my 
name  is  James  Dittes,  editor  of  the 
Southern  Accent ,  and — " 

"And  what  a  pleasure  it  is  to 
Finally  meet  you,  Mr.  Dittes.  Hey,  if 
you  get  a  chance,  I'd  like  you  to 
critique  my  show,  the  NBC  Nightly 
News.  But  only  ifyou  have  time,  Mr. 
Dittes."

Absolutely  absurd — thisideatluil

Letters  Home     ty  Holly  Miller 


Greetings  to  my  friends  at  South- 
lern!  You  all  seem  so  far  away  now 
e  been  here  in  Korea  for  a 
little  more  than  five  months.  People 
o  adventure  is  complete  with- 
lout  a  few  problems.  I  had  most  of 
■mine  in  the  beginning.  Visa  prob- 
lems, which  got  me  a  three-day  delay 
lafter  my  orientation  in  Taipei,  dis- 
covering our  housekeeper  didn't 
e  fit  the  job  description,  learning 
[that  too  much  kimchi  (hot  pickled 
Icabbage)  can  make  you  sick,  etc. 
■Yes,  people  warned  me  about  some 
l0f  this,  and  I  asked  lots  of  questions. 
I  But  still  I  was  naive.  I  had  heard  that 
I  to  Koreans,  SDA  English  teachers 
j  about  the  best  thing  invented 
ice  boiled  rice  (from  Julie  Jacobs) 
I so  I  had  great  expectations.  What 
■about  you?  Are  you  curious  about 
■  the  life  of  an  SM?  Are  you  wonder- 
ling  if  it's  as  good  as  you've  heard? 
■Do  you  feel  that  God  might  be  call- 
ling  you  to  go  to  another  country  to 

I  work  for  Him?  Maybe  even  Korea? 

I I  thought  so.  So  I  want  to  try  to  give 
ne  definitions  of  what  a  SM's 

|  life  in  Korea  may  include.    Here 

eing  a  foreigner  here  in  Korea 
s  that  you  get  stared  at — OF- 
ITEN!!  In  my  case,  I  stand  out  be- 
e  of  my  blue  eyes,  pale  skin,  and 
"gold"  (actually  brunette)  hair  which 
ti  stark  contrast  to  the  jet-black 
I  hair,  brown  eyes,  and  olive  skin  of 
I  the  nationals.  Ofcourseldon'tusu- 
lally  stare  at  them  because  I've  seen 


tons  of  Asians  at  home. 

SM's  usually  lose  their  voice 
within  the  first  three  weeks  of  teach- 
ing. Why?  In  my  case,  I  wasn't  used 
to  speaking  loudly  to  a  group  of 
people foruptosixhours daily.  And 
then  my  muscles  around  my  mouth 
got  sore  very  quickly  from  having  to 
model  so  much  pronunciation  for  my 
students.  So  when  you  are  packing 
your  SM  luggage,  throw  in  lots  of 
throat  lozenges — and  aspirin,  teach- 
ing and  a  lack  of  sleep  can  combine 
to  produce  amazing  headaches! 

Of  course  the  food  is  strange. 
Rice  kimchi  is  served  for  breakfast, 
lunch  and  dinner  here,  sometimes 
with  other  accompaniments.  Fortu- 
nately, our  housekeeper  knows  how 
to  make  some  American  or  quasi- 
American  food.  But  I  guess  no  one 
taught  her  that  you  don't  usually 
serve  macaroni  and  cheese  at  the 
same  meal  as  French  toast.  So  we  try 
to  forget  our  American  customs,  and 

Being  a  foreigner  here  means 
that  sometimes  I  forget  their  toilets 
are  different  than  ours.  Imagine  rush- 
ing into  a  public  restroom  for  a  few 
moments  of  relief,  opening  the  door 
to  a  stall  and  finding  a  hole  in  the 
floor  to  squat  above,  then  realizing  to 
late,  "Oh  no!  I  forgot  to  bring  toilet 
paper!"  No,  they  don't  usually  pro- 
vide it  here.  Nor  is  there  usually  any 
soap  to  wash  your  hands  with  after- 
wards. Enough  graphic  details  for 
you? 


But  there  are  also  good  things  to 
experience  here.  Although  I'm  aver- 
age height  in  America  (5'8"),  I'm 
considered  tall  here,  compared  with 
"standard  sized"  Koreans.  So  I  have 
no  trouble  seeing  above  the  heads  in 
acrowd.  It'sreallygreattobeableto 
see  any  direction  without  often  hav- 
ing to  maneuver  around  tall  people. 

SM's  are  subject  to  lots  of  flat- 
tery from  students.  Imagine  this: 
"Good  morning  teacher,  you're  so 
beautiful."  "Thank  you,  Batman  (his 
nickname)."  "Oh,  it's  my  joking." 
Or  this:  "You  are  so  sexy.  I  bet 
you're  in  the  top  ten  percent  of  the 
American  womans."  And  in  their 
next  breath — "Do  you  think  I'll  be 
able  to  pass  Level  3?"  Marriage 
proposals  are  also  routine,  usually 
offered  by  Korean  men  desperately 
seeking  a  woman  with  an  American 
passports.  How  would  you  respond 
nonchalantly  when  proposed  to  in  a 
coffee  shop  wile  surrounded  by  curi- 
ous students? 

And  personal  questions!  Some- 
times very  personal.  "Teacher,  what 
do  you  weight?"  "What  isyourage?" 
"Are  vou  marriaged?"  (As  if  I  could 
just  pick  a  date  on  the  calendar  and 
my  man  would  appear!)  "Tell  us 
about  your  first  love,  your  first  kiss." 

Giving  Bible  studies.  I  didn't 
realize  it  would  be  so  intense.  How 
can  you  explain  God  to  a  Buddhist 
who  doesn't  even  know  1%  of  the 
Bible,  who  believes  in  dragons  in- 
stead of  Satan,  the  Dragon?    And 


Calvin  and  Hobbes 


how  do  you  answer  when  they  ask 
why  Korea  isn't  mentioned  in  the 
Bible?  So  many  off-the-wall  ques- 
tions, all  of  which  must  be  answered 
across  the  language  barrier  of  Ko- 
rean/English, sometimes  without 
adequate  translation.  The  only  solu- 
tion I've  found  is  LOTS  OF PREPA 
RATION— Bible  study,  reading  Mrs. 
White's  writings  and  the  Bible  Com- 
mentary, and  LOTS  OF  PRAYER. 
How  do  I  find  time  for  all  of  thi; 
Sometimes  I  wonder.  But  it's  all 
worth  it  to  see  the  light  come  on  in  a 
student's  eyes,  and  to  hear  them  say, 
"Now  I  am  beginning  to  believe  in 
God." 

You  may  ask,  "Why  should  I 
come  to  Korea?"  Isaytoyou,  DON'T 
even  THINK  of  coming  unless  you 
are  willing  to  work  for  God.  Sure,  I 
occasionally  have  time  to  travel  or 
shop,  when  I'm  not  desperate  for 
more  sleep,  but  that's  not  the  reason 
to  be  here.  If  you  come  to  Korea, 
your  Christianity  will  be  challenged 
beyond  your  most  earnest  prayer.  I 
dare  you  to  give  God  one  year  in  a 
foreign  country.  You  will  never  be 
the  same. 

Take  care  of  SC  for  me— I  get  so 
homesick  for  Cracker  Barrel,  Waffle 
House,  the  SC  cafeteria's  chicken 
and  biscuits,  and  of  course  the  won- 
derful scenery  and  people. 
Until  next  time,

Last  Tuesday  night  the  Gym-Mas- 
ters performed  during  half-time  of 
the  Atlanta  Hawks  game  in  the  Omni. 

The  gymnasts  left  Southern  at 
4:00  and  arrived  at  the  Omni  around 
6:45.  The  game  was  sold  out,  so  the 
team  had  to  stand  in  the  walkways 
leading  to  the  floor  and  watch  the 
game  from  there. 

When  half-time  came,  they  had 
eight  minutes  to  get  set  up,  perform, 
and  be  off  the  floor.  The  fans  watch- 
ing saw  such  stunts  as  Carlyle 
Ingersoll  dunking  the  ball  off  Rick 
Hayes  shoulders.  "Carlyle  had  the 
dunk  of  the  night."  states  Rick  Hayes. 

When  asked  how  the  perfor- 
mance went,  the  Gym-Masters  felt  it 
was  excellent.  "I  had  a  great  time 
and  I  believe  the  entire  team  did 
wonderful,"     states  Gym-Master

Southern  College  scored  num-

Vanderbelt  University  in  Nashville, 
did  as  well. 

"This  is  very  difficult  to  get," 
said  Dr.  George  Babcock,  chairman 
of  Education  and  Psychology.  The 
Colleges  are  ranked  on  a  scale  and 
:  Southern  got  the  highest  classifica- 

.  This  difficult  accomplishment 
effects  eleven  different  departments 
in  the  school. 

Accreditation  was  granted  to 
Southern  on  November  20.  The  tele- 
vised meeting  was  conducted  by  the 
state  and  Dr.  Babcock  was  there  to 
represent  the  school  by  presenting  a 
speech.  He  is  now  being  sent  all  over 
the  state  to  help  other  colleges  get 
accredited. 


The  gift  drive  became  a  small  school 
project.  Clubs  and  organizations

What  Reverend  Abner  Stood  For 

A  Christmas  Tale 

James  Dittes,  Accent  Editor 


Here's  a  Christmas  tale  to  take 
home  with  you  over  break. 

Few  Christmases  in  our  nation's 
history  have  been  as  desperate  as  the 
Christmas  of  1777.  George  Wash- 
ington and  the  Continental  Army 
werebottledupin  ValleyForge.  The 
British  held  Philadelphia,  Boston  and 
New  York.  All  signs  pointed  to 
defeat  for  the  struggling  colonies. 

Nowhere  was  the  chagrin  felt 
more  severely  than  in  the  town  of 
Frederick,  Maryland;  nowhere  was 
the  patriotism  more  intense.  The 
leader  of  the  revolutionary  struggle 
in  Frederick  was  none  other  than  the 
Anglican  minister,  Douglas  Abner. 
Since  before  the  revolution-be  fore 
the  Declaration  of  Independence- 
Abner  had  railed  against  the  injus- 
tices of  the  British  monarchy  from 
his  pulpit  every  Sunday.  "We  have 
no  king  but  Christ  on  high,"  he  often 
said,  "no  government  but  that  which 
every  free  man  chooses  for  himself 
within  these  13  colonies." 

By  Christmas  of  1777,  the  patri- 
otic fervor  had  grown  into  anti-Brit- 
ish mayhem.  Loyalist  houses  and 
businesses  were  looted  and  burned. 
Tea  was  boycotted  to  show  solidar- 
ity with  the  residents  of  Boston.  Even 
in  little  ways,  the  colonists  showed 
their  contempt  for  the  British.  Play- 
ing cards  which  had  once  included 
four  sets  of  kings  and  queens  were 
now  printed  with  likenesses  of 
George  Washington  and  Betsy  Ross 
instead. 

Despite  the  bitterness,  Christ- 
mas, with  its  charm  and  spirit  of 
goodwill,  came  ever  closer.  Towns- 
people readied  themselves  for  the 
holiday  season,  and  looked  forward 
toFrederick's  greatest  Christmas  tra- 
dition— the  community  symphony's 
annual  rendition  of  Handel's  "Mes- 
siah." 35  years  earlier,  at  its  debut. 
King  George  I  had  stood  up,  as  had 
all  his  fellow  concertgoers  out  of 
tribute  tohim.  Since  thai  time,  stand- 
ing during  the  Hallelujah  Chorus 
meant  paying  as  much  respect  to  the 
KingofEnglandasitwastotheKing 
of  the  Jews. 

The  Sunday  before  the 
symphony's  annual  Christmas  Eve 
performance,  Abner  condemned  the 
English  for  being  slaves  toatradition 
set  by  despotic  rulers-a  tradition  that 


refused  to  let  the  colonies  have  their 
freedom. 

The  members  left  the  church  be- 
wildered in  spite  of  their  patriotism. 
What  about  "Messiah"?  Would  this 
Christmas  tradition  continue?  Would 
anybody  stand? 

The  community  orchestra  prac- 
ticed pensively  that  week  for  the 
performance  on  Friday.  The  church 
choir  seemed  distracted  as  they  went 
over  the  songs  they  had  sung  every 
year  since  1 760.  No  one  talked  about 
the  final  chorus.  No  one  thought  of 
standing.  No  one  mentioned  the 
word,  Hallelujah. 

The  night  before  Christmas — a 
night  forever  magical — finally  ar- 
rived. ColonistscamefromFrederick 
and  several  nearby  villages  to  hear 
the  oratorio — more  than  had  ever 
come  before.  But  Christmas  joy  was 
nowhere  to  be  found.  Every  jaw  was 
set.  Every  eye  looked  unwaveringly 
forward. 

Reverend  Abner  set  a  somber 
tone  for  the  evening  when  he  began 
the  program  with  a  special  prayer  for 
the  American  soldiers  on  the  front 
lines.  He  included  a  moment  of 
silence  for  five  of  Frederick's  sons 
who  had  died  in  battle  that  year. 

After  Abner's  prologue,  the  con- 
cert progressed  horribly.  The  or- 
chestra had  to  stop  four  times  to 
retune.  The  soloists  sang  resound- 
ingly, but  without  any  hint  of  emo- 
tion or  praise  as  Christ's  story  un- 
folded. Every  eye  in  the  hall  was  on 
Reverend  Abner.  Every  hand  moved 
in  applause  with  his  hands.  Every 
head  nodded  in  approval  with  his. 

Finally  the  moment  came.  The 
strings  sang  the  joyous  entrance  to 
the  Hallelujah  Chorus;  the  choir  be- 
gan to  sing.  Everyone  watched  Rev- 
erend Abner's  jaw  become  suddenly 
tense.  He  clutched  his  hands  to- 
gether. He  crossed  his  legs.  He 
stayed  seated. 

Back  in  the  tenth  row  sat  Francis 
Weaver,  the  11 -year-old  son  of  a 
Frederick  carpenter.  Hecouldn'tsee 
Reverend  Abner  over  the  heads  of 
the  other  concertgoers.  He  could 
only  see  the  choir  and  listen  to  the 
words  as  the  choir  sang  distractedly: 
"For  the  Lord  God  omnipotent 
reigneth,  Hallelujah."  Francis  didn't 
know  what  omnipotent  meant.  He 
didn't  even  know  where  England 
was.  But  somehow  he  knew  exactly 
what  the  music  had  called  him  to  do. 
So  Francis  stood  up. 


No  one  noticed  at  first— that  is, 
until  Francis  stood  up  on  the  chair  to 
get  a  better  look  at  the  orchestra. 
Then  a  murmur  arose.  Reverend 
Abner  turned  to  quell  the  talking  and 
looked  with  horror  at  little  Francis 
standing  in  the  tradition  of  King 
George.  Next  others  stood  in  accla- 
mation as  the  choir  sang — a  little 
more  boisterously  now — "And  He 
shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever.  Halle- 
lujah." The  strings  seemed  to  pick 
up  the  tempo  as  well,  and  soon  that 
hall  in  Frederick,  Maryland,  barely  a 
hundred  and  fifty  miles  from  Valley 
Forge,  was  ringing  with  the  music  of 
angels.  Abner  sat  still,  a  lone  dimple 
in  the  rejoicing,  standing  mass  of 
Marylanders. 

He  didn't  sit  for  long.  Joy,  an 
integral  part  of  every  Christmas  sea- 
son, was  made  manifest  in  Abner  as 
the  choir  continued,  "And  His  name 
shall  be  called,  Wonderful,  Coun- 
selor, the  Mighty  God,  the  Everlast- 
ing Father,  the  Prince  of  Peace." 
Abner  looked  around  at  the  festive 
citizens  of  Frederick.    He  stood— a 


:  to  the  fact  that  no  revolt  | 
tion  or  war  or  evil  empire  could  stay 
seated  before  the  Prince  of  Peace 

When  the  Chorus  ended,  the  ap- 1 
plause  was  deafening.  Francis's  fa-  f 
ther  hoisted  him  up  on  his  shoulders 
as  the  mass  of  patriots  clamored  for  I 
more.  The  choir  obliged  and  sang  I

Next  the  orchestra  played  Christmas  I

and  that  tiny  hall  in  colonial  I 
Frederick,  Maryland  literally  glowed  I 
with  the  joy  of  the  Christmas  seasor

The  making  of  Southern's  Messiah 


By  Beth  Mills 


On  the  evening  of  December  1 1  and 
the  afternoon  of  December  1 2,  South- 
em  College  students,  faculty,  com- 
munity member  and  friends  had  the 
opportunity  to  witness  the  Music 
Department 's  production  of  Handel 's 
Messiah  in  the  Collegedale  Church. 
Those  that  attended  know  what  it's 
like  to  see  the  performance,  but 
what's  it  like  for  the  performers? 
What  goes  on  "behind  the  scenes"? 
The  planning  for  a  concert  bf  this 
magnitude  goes  on  for  months.  "It's 
been  a  tradition  periodically  to  do  the 
Messiah,"  said  music  department 
chair,  Marvin  Robertson.  "People 
have  been  asking  ever  since  we  put 
in  on  last  time  when  we  would  do  it 
again,  and  wc  just  finally  decided  to 
go  ahead  with  it  this  year." 

After  toying  with  the  idea  of 
producing  the  Messiah  with  choirs 
from  other  colleges,  the  directors 
decided  lojusi  use  the  Southern  Sing- 
ers and  Collegedale  Academy  (Mad- 
rigal Singers),  along  with  the  SC 


Symphony  Orchestra.  "It  actually 
turned  out  to  ouradvantage  to  do  this 
way,"  said  Robertson.  "It's  one  of 
the  quickest  and  best  performances 
we've  ever  put  together." 

Dr.  Robertson  had  been 
working  closely  with  orchestra  con- 
ductor Orlo  Gilbert  in  all  stages  of 
preparation.  They  chose  what  part  of 
the  Messiah  to  perform,  which  solo- 
ists lo  invite,  and  what  each  of  their 
responsibilities  would  be.  They  also 
decided  how  to  interpret  the  music. 
All  the  groups  had  to  use  the  same 
tempos  and  work  together  on  other 
interpretations  such  as  dynamics  and 
intonations.  After  joint  rehearsals 
Robertson,  Gilbert  and  Madrigals 
director  Jeff  Lauritzen  would  ana- 
lyze the  groups'  performance  and 
make  suggestions  to  each  other. 

What  was  it  like  to  be  in  the 
choir  or  orchestra  while  rehearsing? 
During  regular  rehearsals,  students 
worked  on  teaming  music  and  went 
over  parts,  practicing  until  they  knew

Local  student  Insight  winner

By  Lori  Pettibone 


"I  was  too  excited  to  talk,"  said  Jun- 
ior English  Major,  Jessica  Vining, 
recalling  the  way  she  felt  when  she 
found  out  she  was  the  winner  of  the 
1992  Insight  writing  contest,  "Too 
excited  to  act  excited." 

Her  story.  It's  Always  Been  My 
Lucky  Number,  should  be  coming 
out  sometime  in  January.  Vining 
doesn't  know  the  exact  date.  She 
was  too  excited  to  ask. 

Vining  used  the  pseudonym, 
"Jennifers.  Vaugn"  for  her  story.  "I 
don't  mind  if  they  know  it's  me,  said 
Vining,  "as  long  as  they  know  it's 
not  my  family  story. 


happened  to  one  of  her  friends,  is 
about  a  girl  who  finds  out  that  her 
father  had  an  affair,  then  struggles  at 
trying  to  forgive  him. 

"I  want  them  to  feel  something," 
said  Vining  when  asked  how  she 
wants  readers  to  react  to  her  story, 
"some  kind  of  emotional  tug.  If  they 
don't  feet  anything,  then  I  haven't 
succeeded." 


orchestra,  and  soloists  had  still  been 
practicing  individually. 

But  the  week  before  the  con- 
cert was  when  nighttime  rehearsals 
were  held."  They  weren't  as  gruel- 
ing as  they  could  have  been,"  said 
Soprano  Jacque  Branson.  "Most 
nights  they  let  us  out  early,  but  it  was 
still  inconvenient  since  we  had  finals 
to  study  for." 

The  scheduled  times  for  the 
night  rehearsals  varied  with  each  day, 
but  they  were  usually  overby  around 
8  p.m.,  after  a  couple  of  hours  of 
practice.  This  was  the  first  time  the 
guest  soloists  rehearsed  with  the  com- 
bined choirs  and  orchestra.  The  last 
few  daysbefore  the  concerts  involved 
fitting  the  groups  together  and  add- 
ing finishing  touches  to  the  produc- 

Finally,  the  first  concert  was 
about  to  begin.  Both  the  bottom  floor 
and  balcony  of  the  church  were 
packed  with  people.  The  orchestra 
and  choir  members  were  expected  to 
arriveearly  for  preparation  and  warm- 
up.  There  were  usual  pre-show  jit- 
ters that  come  with  any  performance, 
but  there  really  wasn't  too  much  time 
to  think  about  being  nervous.  Soon 
all  the  performers  were  onstage,  and 
Handel's  Messiah  had  begun.

Shoeboxes  for  Missionaries 


tfs 


By  Amy  Durkin 


Imagine  being  thousands  of  miles 
away  from  home  during  Christmas. 
Many  student  missionaries  report  that 
this  time  of  year  is  when  they  miss 
their  friends  and  family  the  most. 

For  the  past  two  years  Collegiate 
Missions  Club  has  helped  to  relieve 
this  homesickness  by  sending  a  small 
gifttoeverystudentmissionary.  Last 
Christmas  CMC  sent  T-shirts  and 


issues  of  the  Accent.  "Mail  is  an 
SM's  vital  link  to  home,"  said  CMC 
director,  Leslie  Brooks,  "and  at 
Christmas  the  need  for  communica- 
tion is  even  greater." 

This  Christmas,  CMC  sent 
shoeboxes  filled  with  Christmas 
books  and  goodies.  Normally  the 
budget  would  not  have  allowed  this. 
But  thanks  to  donations  from  stu- 
dents and  faculty  all  57  student  mis- 
sionaries will  receive  a  shoe  box 
before  Christmas  day.

Library  copiers  could  serve  students  better 


Sir: 


ihl.cn 


As  I  face  Ihe  end  of  the  semester.  d;isst_-s  are  beginning 
ending  nightmares.  Papers  are  due  lefl  and  right,  and  many  students  visit  the 
library  for  the  first  time.  Because  papers  are  due  and  sources  are  needed, 
long  lines  begin  to  form  in  front  of  the  copy  machines.  Extra  pocket  money 
is  needed,  in  addition  to  student  tuition  bills.  Where  are  students  to  find  that 
extra  change  to  make  the  necessary  amount  of  copies  without  having  to 
spend  their  life  savings?  I  think  the  library  should  update  the  copy  machines 
with  copy  cards. 

Many  universities  use  this  library  system.  I  myself  found  it  quite  helpful 
when  I  had  more  than  ten  pages  to  make  copies  of.  During  finals,  students 
begin  to  run  out  of  resources,  it  is  close  to  going  home,  the  pressure  of  papers 
being  due,  and  the  finals  themselves,  that  students  do  not  need  the  added 
stress  of  finding  loose  change  to  make  their  papers  go  a  little  smoother. 

The  copy  card  system  is  very  easy  to  use.  My  proposal  is  to  have  the 
library  sell  the  cards  for  a  dollar  each.  That  way  it  is  optional  whether  the 
student  wants  to  save  money  or  not.  Since  I  like  to  save,  I  invested  in  a  copy 
card  at  the  previous  school  1  attended.  Now  for  the  students  that  use  the  card, 
copies  arc  five  cents  each  and  for  the  non-users  it  continues  at  ten  cents  for 
each  copy.  Each  card  has  a  magnetic  strip  on  the  back  of  it.  The  copy 
machine  reads  the  card  and  tells  you  how  much  money  you  have  left  on  the 
card.  Once  the  student  receives  a  couple  of  dollars  form  home,  all  he/she  has 
to  do  is  charge  up  the  card,  and  the  card  will  be  ready  for  the  days  the  student 
is  out  of  change  and  has  to  rush  and  get  the  last  minute  work  done. 

I  found  this  system  to  work  for  me  tremendously.  Form  what  some  of 
the  students  say,  it  is  great  to  know  that  with  such  a  limited  budget  they  are 
saving  money  at  the  library.  This  system  would  not  only  help  the  students; 
but  the  library  workers  would  benefit  from  it  also.  The  workers  would  not 
have  to  worry  about  giving  change  back  to  the  student  after  copying  several 
sheets.  Five  cents  may  not  seem  like  much,  but  it  does  accumulate  as  your 
need  for  copies  increases  to  get  your  paper  done  the  night  before  it  is  due. 


Of  course,  there  are  negatives  to  each  story.  Students  will  be  faced  „ 
the  card  not  working  one  day  or  the  computer  itself  adding  or  subtracti 
improperly.  But  those  minor  difficulties  are  faced  also  by  using  the  reguiy  I 
copy  machines.  The  benefits  for  computerized  copy  machines  should  I 
outweigh  those  negative  aspects.  1  am  sure  Southern  College  would  lovetn  I 
have  more  of  its  students  benefit  from  the  library  services  that  they  offer.  I 
feel  that  the  students  at  Southern  College  would  appreciate  it  more  and  f«]  I 
like  Southern  cares  about  their  needs.

Christmas  in  a 
strange  land 

International  students  adjust  to  an 
Imerican  Christmas,  and  tell  about 
;elebrations  in  their  homelands 


& 


By  Michelle  Lashier  I 


Zuwere  Chakuamba  was  a  little 
;onfused  when  I  asked  her  how 
Christmas  in  her  native  Malawi  was 
fifferem  than  an  American  Chrisl- 
:,she'dnevercelebrated 
Christmas.  So  after  we 
Hiked . i  little,  she  shared  what  Christ- 
sis  like  in  herhome  town,  Nsanje, 
r  the  southern  border  of  Malawi. 
She  said  Christmas  is  celebrated 
i  ways  in  Malawi:  the  Christian 
way  and  the  "pagan"  way. 

Christians  spend  the  whole  day 
of  the  24th  in  church  singing,  listen- 
and  watching  nativity 
plays. 

On  the  25th,  family  and  friends 
get  together  for  a  meal  of  rice  and 
chicken,  a  meal  that  symbolized  re- 
ject for  guests  and  being  welcome 
home.  Zu  said  her 
people  judge  how  good  their  Christ- 
naswas  by  whether  they  hadchicken. 
IThey  say],  last  Christmas  we  en- 
oyed  ourselves — we  had  chicken!" 
ihe  said,  laughing.  "We  believe  in 
ing." 

Children  in  Malawi  don't  see 
Christmas  as  the  big  day  when  they 
!« Iheir  gifts.  "Christmas  presents 
En't  a  big  thing,"  Zu  said.  "We 
i't  expect  them,  and  if  we  get 
m.  we  wonder." 
Another  important  tradition  is  to 

*  new  clothes.    "You  have  to

na,s  when  the  dating  starts,"  Zu 


The  villagers  play  sports  like  foot- 
ball (what  Americans  call  soccer) 
and  netball  (like  basketball,  only  the 
ball  never  touches  the  ground).  Ac- 
cording to  Zu,  celebrations  can  go  on 
for  two  or  three  days. 

Nicolas  Bosdedore,  a  student 
from  southern  France,  sheds  new  light 
on  a  typical  American  belief  that  we 
made  up  our  own  holiday  traditions. 
"A  lot  of  American  traditions  come 
from  France,"  he  said. 

In  France,  Christmas  is  consid- 
ered more  of  a  pagan  holiday. 
"Christmas  is  a  Catholic  celebration." 
he  said,  "and  everywhere  you  have 
Catholics,  you  have  Christmas." 

In  general,  the  French  don't  pay 
much  attention  to  the  religious  as- 
pects of  Christmas.  Nicolas  said  that 
although  they  have  nativity  scenes 
and  nativity  plays, most  peopledon't 
celebrate  it  as  the  day  of  Jesus'  birth. 
"In  my  mind,  I  don't  think  about 
Jesus  [on  Christmas  day],"  Nicolas 
said.  "It's  the  day  I  get  my  gift." 

Felipe  Roubard,  a  friend  of 
Nicolas's  visiting  from  France, 
added,  "It's  a  pagan  holiday.  It's 
only  for  children." 

Nicolas  and  Felipe  said  that 
Christmas  is  more  a  time  for  fami- 
lies, though  close  friends  may  be 
included.  They  also  said  the  French 
don't  throw  as  many  Christmas  par- 
ties. And  they  call  Santa  Claus  Pen? 
Noel  which  is  translated  "Father 
Christmas." 

During  the  interview,  Nicolas  and 
Felipe  stressed  me  importance  of  food 
in  the  French  celebration.  Turkey, 
pink  salmon,  oysters,  and  feet  of 
lamb  are  important  meal  elements  in 
southern  France.  Felipe  said  the 
"Thirteen  Desserts"  are  an  integral 
part  of  Christmas  dinner  in  southern 
France.  Thesedessertsincludedates, 
bananas, /H>Hgar(aFrenchcandy  with 
almonds  in  it),  cracked  nuts,  tanger- 
ines, candy,  and  lots  of  wine.  "You 
have  to  have  your  thirteen  different 
kinds  of  desserts,"  Felipe  said.

Southern  Memories: 
Christmastime 

Marca  Age  looks  back  to 

Chris tmases  past  with  Mary  Elam. 


992  \\ 


;  By  Marca  Age 

Wheiher  it  be  ihc  Talge  and 
Thaiche  r  open  house  parties,  the  Christ- 
mas  tree  lighting,  ihe  faculty  singing 
their  version  of  the  12days  of  Christ- 
mas, or  the  anxiously  awaited  Christ- 
mas vacation;  Southern  has  aJways 
i.-n|i ivl'J  ihe  Christmas  season. 

Mary  Elam,  registrar,  has  seen 
many  Southern  Chrislnia.si.-s.  She  came 
to  Southern  in  1945  as  an  academy 
student.  She  reflects  fondly  on  SC's 
holiday  seasons  through  out  the  years. 

When  asked  of  a  SC  tradition  that 
hasn't  changed.  Miss.  Elam  responded 
with  a  smile,  "The  Messiah  has  been 
put  on  by  Ihe  college  every  year  that  I 
can  remember."  although  at  one  time, 
the  Messiah  was  done  only  by  the 
Choir,  because  there  was  no  orchestra. 
The  concert  was  held  in  Lynn  Wood 
Hall,  most  likely  because  there  was  no 


organ  in  the  Tabernacle,  where  the 
church  services  were  usually  held. 

K.  R.  Davis  reflected  on  the  rendi- 
tion of  the  Christmas  tree  lighting.  "It 
used  to  be  that  Grundsel  and  I  went  out 
into  the  woods  and  chopped  down  a 
ver\  large  tree  and  hauled  it  back  to  the 
school,"  said  Davis.  The  freshly  cut 
tree  was  then  stuck  in  a  deep  hole  to 
make  it  stand,  "The  Christmas  tree 
lighting  hasn't  changed  much  at  all, 
except  now  we  have  a  permanent  tree," 
Davis  said  with  relief. 

Before  the  seventies,  semester  fi- 
nals weren't  held  until  after  Christmas 
break,  because  the  semester  didn't  end 
until  the  third  week  in  January.  Mary 
Elam  remembers  one  particular  Christ- 
mas break  in  the  late  sixties.  "This 
particular  break,  many  of  us  (faculty) 
would  get  phone  calls  from  parents, 
saying  that  their  son  or  daughter  had 
hepatitisand  wouldn't  be  able  to  finish 
off  the  semester,  75  student--  luul

The  Christmas  festivities  haven't  have  and  will  always  enjoy  Christmas

But  there  is  one  thing  that  Mary  Elam  is  sure  to  never  change,  whether  by  [ 

says  has  changed.    When  the  long  bus,  train,  or  car,  students  will  alway

Accent  Sports  with  Eric  Johnson 


Another  semester  is  quickly 
comingloaclose.  Thcrehavebeen 
so  many  exciting  moments  in 
Southern's  intramural  program,  thai 
if  I  was  to  mention  them  all,  I  would 
fill  up  this  entire  paper. 

The  school  year  started  off  right 
with  a  great  Softball  season  that 
culminated  with  Bowes's  team  re- 
peating as  champions  by  winning 
the  All-night  Tournament  with  only 
7  players.  The  women's  All-Star 
game  and  excellent  competition 
made  this  year's  tournament  one  to 
remember.  Ricky  HayesandCoach 
Evans  went  on  a  home  run  derby  to 
help  put  their  team  in  the  finals. 
The  night  ended  with  everyone  tired 
but  happy  and  ready  for  football  to 


This  year's  football  season  saw 
Robby  Gettys's  team  beat  John 
Appel  to  win  the  football  tourna- 
ment, which  had  been  played  over 
a  week  rather  than  all  on  one  Sun- 
Volleyball  season  was  as  com- 
petitive as  ever,  with  the  highlight 
being  the  three-man  tournament. 
James  Appel's  team  won  the  regu- 
lar season;  Elena  Jas,  Chad  and 
Seth  Moffit  won  the  three-man- 
or rather,  two-man-and-one- 
woman  tournament.  With  the  three 
different  leagues,  each  player  was 
able  to  play  competitively  and  have 
a  lot  of  fun. 

The  first  semester  has  been  a 
great  one  for  sports,  and  I  would 
encourage  any  of  you  who  didn't 
play  first  semester  to  sign  up  next 


Moffit  takes  2-man-l. 
woman  tournament 


y  Eric  Johnson      | 


Chad  and  Seth  Moffit,  along  with 
Elena  Jas,  took  the  three-man  vol- 
leyball tournament  crown  Saturday 
night,  December  5  at  Collegedale 
Academy. 

A  total  of  16  teams  competed  in 
the  tournament.  Coach  Jaecks  seeded 
the  teams  according  their  ability  and 
size.  Itwasno  surprise  first  (Moffit), 
second  (Adam  Perez,  James  Appel 
and  Bryan  Affolter}  seeded  teams 
ended  up  in  the  finals. 

The  tournament  was  double 
elimination,  meaning  each  team  had 
to  lose  twice  before  they  were  elimi- 


nated from  play.   The  Moffit  team 
overcame  an  early  loss  and  p 
smart  avoiding  mistakes. 

Perez's  team  cruised  through  I 
their  opposition,  and  found  them- 
selves in  the  finals  for  the  second  I 
straight  year  and  close  to  winning 
their  second  title.  Perez's  team  only  [ 
needed  to  win  one  match  against  I 
Moffit,  since  Moffit's  team  had  al-  f 
ready  lost,  while  Perez  had  ti 
two  straight  in  order  to  be  dethroned  I 
as  champs. 

"The  tournament  was  a  lot  of  fun  I 
and  I  am  glad  that  we  were  able  tobe  | 
in  it,"  said  Chad  Moffit. 

Players  left  the  gym  that  night  I 
tired,  but  glad  for  the  fun  and  great  I 
competition.

I  Dear  Southern  College, 

How  would  you  like  to  spend  one 
ar  in  a  place  where  it  is  eternally 
■green,  never  hotter  than  85  degrees 
^er  colder  than  65  degrees? 
ould  you  like  to  live  in  the 
Ljghth  wonder  of  the  world?    How 
,uld  you  like  to  have  exercise,  no 
Lillpower involved, everyday?  How 
|bout  fruits,  nuts  and  grains  e very- 
How  about  a  dip  in  a  cool 
ftnountain  stream  or  a  bath  in  a  hot 
Ispring?    Maybe  you  would  like  a 
e  where  conditions  are  right  for 
[spiritual  renewal.   These  are  just  a 
v  of  the  benefits  of  spending  one 
ar  in  the  Philippines  as  a  Student 
Missionary  working  with  thelfugao 
Bribe  people. 

There  are  many  things  that  one 
ight  not  consider  as  benefits.  For 
stance  we  have  a  burial  house  no 
I  farther  than  20  feet  from  our  front 
I  door.  Maybe  you  would  like  to  wake

had  just  scored  a  home  run.  Come  to 
find  out  it  must  have  only  been  a  bad 
call  from  the  umpire  because  the  pigs 
grunt  their  disapproval.  By  five 
o'clock  I've  turned  over  and  done 
somersault  in  my  bed  trying  to  pile 
enough  covers  over  my  head  in  order 
to  shut  out  the  noises  that  set  a  good 
mood  for  the  day.  To  make  matters 
worse  we  have  a  rat  who  likes  to 
come  eat  on  our  food  at  10:00  p.m. 
We  have  tried  everything  to  get  rid  of 
the  rat  but  now  I  can  sleep  through  it 
all.  Never  mind  that  the  rat  has  been 
eating  less  than  two  fe

done  for  me  is  to  give 
patience. 

Bathing  is  an  interesting  experi- 
ence. Have  any  of  you  ever  hadclass 
while  you're  taking  a  bath?  I  have, 
nearly  everyday  I  have  an  audience 
as  I  try  to  explain  the  importance  of 
personal  cleanliness.  Another  im-

suit.  Here  the  swimming  suit  or 
bathing  suit,  as  it  is  more  properly 


defined,  comes  in  pretty  handy,  oth- 
erwise it  is  impossible  to  clean  with- 
out becoming  severely  discolored  in 
the  face  in  shades  of  red.  Even  though 
you  have  a  bathing  suit  on  it  still  is 
not  the  same  as  standing  under  a  hot 
shower  and  relaxing  aftera  hard  day.     WRITE:

"JESUS  ON  MY  MIND" 


How  do  I  fill  the  gaps  in  my  education 

when  courses  are  not  available  at  my 

high  school  or  college? 


You  have  made  some  very  wise  choices  for  your  future!  A 
Christian  education,  individualized  attention,  and  the  small 
classes  and  caring  teachers  found  in  a  small  private  college 
offer  the  greatest  opportunities  for  quality  in  education  and 
life.  Missing  a  course  or  a  semester  can  make  for  a  rough 
experience  though.  The  lower  student-teacher  ratio  at  your 
school  is  an  excellent  way  to  team,  but  if  you  cannot  get  the 
course,  where  do  you  turn? 


Turn  to  your  partner  in  education!  We  exist  to  fill  the 
gaps  with  quality  courses,  providing  you  with  the  opportu-  I 
nities  and  attention  you  need. 

Don't  extend  your  years  of  education  unnecessarily;  get  a 
partner  today!

Santa  Revisited 


15  years  after  their  last  visit,  Andy  Nash  and  Jeff  Emde

struck:  if  Jeff  Emde 
and  I  would  stand  in  the  Santa  line  with 
bunch  of  toddlers  and  their  mothers 
and  sit  on  Santa's  tap  for  a  deluxe  color 
Santa  picture,  which  we  could  send,  in 
lieu  of  Christmas  cards,  to  our  English 
school  in  Thailand,  where  our  students 
would  see  us  on  the  bulletin  board  and 
happy  that  we  remembered  them  for 
Christmas. 

So  there  we  were.  Two  college  stu- 
dents standing  in  the  Santa  line,  doing 
look  like  escorts  and  not 
participants:  "Hey,  Kid,  stand  here  by 
kidding  anyong, 
namely  the  SC  students  who  walked  by, 
;  it  was  obvious  we  had  come  alone. 
Before  I  could  stop  him,  Jeff  began  to 
minisce.  "The  last  time  I  visited  Santa, 
ndy,  was  when  I  was  about  three  or 

!'When  did  you  stop  believing  in 
>anta?"  I  asked. 

"At  about  that  same  time,"  he  said. 
My  parents  told  me  right  away." 
I  felt  sorry  for  Jeff. 
"I  learned  in  first  grade,"  I  said.  "But 
I  had  a  friend,  Bryce,  who  still  believed 
Santa  all  the  way  up  to  fourth  grade. 
And  I  would  go  over  to  his  house,  and  he 
would  say,  'What  did  Santa  get  you  for 
Christmas?'  and  I  would  laugh  my  head 

Jeffhadanevil  thought. 
"I  have  a  feeling  Tm  going  to  run  up 
tore  and  start  screaming,  'Santa  Claus 
Bah«w!  Santa Clausisahoax!*Ihave 
Implanon  to  do  that  and  just  shatter

But  an  equally  evil  glance  from  the

Lauren  wanted  a  cat,  but  her  2  1/2- 
year-old  sister,  Monica,  wanted  a 
mouse — Minnie  Mouse.  I  remembered 
asking  Santa  for  Mickey  Mouse. 

Our  little  friends  did  not  ask  Jeff  and 
I  what  we  wanted  forChristmas.  Maybe 
they  did  not  care. 

We  spoke  with  one  of  Santa's  elves. 
Shane  Bradley  of  Chattanooga  State, 
who  said  that  95%  of  the  kids  in  line 
believe  wholeheartedly  in  Santa  Claus. 
We  began  to  ask  Shane  about  why  he 
enjoyed  being  one  of  Santa's  helpers — 
"Next."  someone  said. 
Our  moment  had  come. 
I  felt  a  feeling  r  had  not  felt  since 
December,  1977.  The  feeling  is  called 
"Santa  Fright."   As  we  eased  uneasily 
around  the  white  fence  thing,  I  saw  that 
unmistakable  red  figure.   It  moved.   I 
looked  at  Jeff.  He  looked  at  me.  Were 
we  really  about  to  sit  on  the  lapof  Santa? 
Or,  rather,  were  we  really  about  to  sit  on 
the  lap  of  some  Chattanooga  man? 
"You  go  first,"  I  said  to  Jeff. 
Thecutefemaleelfspokeup.  "Santa, 
these  two  boys  would  like  to  see  you. 
This  is  Jeff,  and  this  is  Andy." 

Instantly  we  were  five  years  old  again. 
Jeff  resting  against  Santa's  left  knee  and 
I  against  his  right  one,  the  cute  female 
elf  snapped  our  picture. 

"Say  'Moneeey,'"  said  Santa. 
"Moneeey,"  we  said. 
"What  would  you  boys  like  forChrist- 
mas?" asked  Santa. 

Jeffjusthadtobefirst.  "Well,  Santa 
Claus,"  he  said,  "I  would  like  you  to 
bring  me  a  V-6  for  my  car,  'cause  it  only 
has  a  four-cylinder." 

"Ford  or  Chevrolet?"  said  Santa. 
"It's  a  Pontiac,"  Jeff  said. 
"Oh,  I  should  have  known  that," 
chuckled  Santa. 

It  was  my  turn.  "We  spent  last  year 
in  Thailand,"  I  said, "  and  we  would  like 

"Thailand  . .  ."  said  Santa. 
"Does  your  sleigh  go  that  direction?" 
I  asked. 

"Oh,  yeah,  I  go  all  over  the  world." 
And,  as  we  sat  there  on  Santa's  lap. 
nothing  else  mattered.  Not  the  people 
pointing  at  us,  not  the  shopping  to  be 
done,  not  the  term  paper  due  on  Monday 
morning.  No,  all  that  mattered  that 
moment  was  the  magic  of  Santa,  and  we

"Oh,  time  for  me  to  go  feed  the 
reindeer,"  Santa  said  as  his  shift  ended. 
We  did  not  stay  long  enough  to  watch 
him  fly  away.

Along  the  promenade 

|with  E.O.  Grundset 


There's  a  lot  of  Christmas  going 
Ion!  In  the  last  week  and,  by  the  time 
u  read  this,  most  of  you  will  have 
|  been  subjected  to,  participated  in, 
land  possibly  enjoyed:  the  campus 
Itree  lighting,  a  open  houses,  a  SCSA 
■  Christmas  party  (where  the  faculty's 
|scholastic  rendition  of  "The  Twelve 

ys  of  Christmas"  was  quite  a  hit), 

)  elementary  school  Christmas 
■church  services,  the  Die 
|Meistersinger's  assistance  with  the 
|  living  Christmas  tree,  two  renditions 
I  of  "The  Messiah,"  numerous  club 
■parties  and  other  festivities.  But  that's 
Ithereal  world  in  December,  the  sea- 

1  of  unbounded  joy!  I  have  a 
I  feeling  that  by  the  time  we  get  through 
ith  finals,  we'll  all  be  ready  for 
raieR&R. 

One  positive  aspect  is  that  the 
I  malls  have  switched  over  to  seasonal 
I  background  music  (I  didn't  know 
1  there  were  so  many  versions  of  "Santa 
|  Oaus  Is  Coming  to  Town")  for  about 
a  month  replacing  the  inane,  nause- 
lating,  non-melodic  New  Age  tripe 
1  that  is  piped  into  most  of  the  stores 
land  malls  the  rest  of  the  year.  But 
I  what  can  you  expect  from  such  "win- 
as  "Water  Gurgling  Over 
I  Rocks"  and  "The  Sunset  Contem- 
plates the  Bay." 

Well,  on  this  cold  raw  day  (the 

Calvin  and  Hobbes 


wind  from  the  north  brings  the  per- 
ceived temperatures  down  to  the  low 
30's),  I'm  wearing  my  leather  driv- 
ing gloves — the  kind  that  has  oval 
cut-outs  where  your  knuckles  are 
supposed  tocome  through  (don't  ask 
me  why).  Only  they  don't  match 
up — the  holes  are  too  far  up  on  my 
hand-maybe  my  metacarpals  are  too 
long.  Anyway  the  gloves  look  pretty 
snazzy  and  "with  it." 

Let's  wander  around  and  see  what 
thesepeople  in  parkas  and  puffy  jack- 
ets are  planning  to  do  for  Christmas. 
In  Hackman  Hall  everyone  is  franti- 
cally studying  biological  models  and 
slides  in  preparations  for  lab  tests 
and  aren't  in  much  of  aholiday  flush. 
So,  let's  check  in  at  the  student  cen- 
ter. First,  we're  bombarded  with  a 
huge  "Feliz  Navidad"  sign  in  flam- 
ing red  and  aCARE  poster  proclaim- 
ingROILDay!  (Beats me).  Agroup 
of  students  are  watching  the  activi- 
ties of  the  Clinton  transition  team  on 
TV  and  the  departure  of  Marines  for 
Somalia.  Cerise  Woodard  (in  or- 
ange-red jacket)  is  going  to  Mary- 
land to  work;  Jerry  Bradford  (in  a 
red  and  blue  parka)  and  Valorie  Leedy 
(in  a  green  jump  suit)  are  both  going 
to  North  Carolina  to  work;  Eric 
Indermuehle  (resplendent  in  purple 
and  red)  is  going  to  relax  in  Georgia; 


while  Lynae  Patterson  (red  roses  on 
agreensweater)istravellingtoSaska- 
toon,  Saskatachewan. 

Steve  Hesler  is  planning  to  make 
as  much  holiday  spirit  as  possible  in 
Collegedale  (lots  of  luck!);  Amy 
Beckworth  (SCSA  Social  VP  in  a 
bright  red  outfit)  is  travelling  to  Ken- 
tucky, California,  and  Florida,  as  well 
as  Tennessee — but  mostly  she'll  be 
on  the  beach  planning  the  January 
SCSA  party,  Mayberry  Mayhem; 
Krisi  Clark  (SCSA  Pres.  in  a  white 
SCSA  shirt-natch)  is  attending  Rob 
Fulbright's  wedding  to  Yvonne 
Gibson  in  Louisville  and  then  it's  on 
toCharleston.SC,  forGranny's  cook- 
ing; David  Beckworth  is  going  to 
Washington,  DC  to  see  his  brother 
take  part  in  a  basketball  tournament; 
and  John  Boskind  (in  blue  plaid 
sweater)  willbe  in  Nashville  with  his 

I  ran  across  Arlette  Collins  who 
is  visiting  in  Richmond,  VA  and 
Denver  where  she'll  "Eat  her  heart 
out"  and  meet  "her  man!"  Saw 
Jonathan  Malloch  walking  around  in 
Herin  Hall  in  his  overcoat  (Can't 
miss  that  red  hair!)  He  was  calling 
friends  after  playing  the  piano  for  a 
McKeeBakingCo.  Luncheon — he's 
still  looking  for  parts  for  his  '69  red 
Galaxay  convertible. 


The  two  nicest  Christmas  trees 
inside  building  are  the  one  in  Herin 
Hall  decorated  with  mauve  and  deep 
redomamentsandsilverstrands;  the 
other  one  is  in  the  front  comer  of  the 
Campus  Shop— filled  with  ornate 
purple  balls,  plus  a  few  silver  and 
gold  ones  and  topped  with  a  terrific 
puff  of  purple  bows  complete  with 
gold  ribbons...  raking  the  last  of  this 
year's  crop  of  leaves  near  the  top  of 
"Jacob's  Ladder"  were  JimMcCurdy 
from  Washington  state  and  Yonas 
Temesgen  from  Ethiopia  (this  cold 
blast  was  a  new  experience  for  him). 

Downon  the  SCSA  bulletin  board 
someone  has  placed  the  letters, 
LAG  I  NAPPE  above  some  shiny  pat- 
terned wrapping  paper  and  at  the 
bottom  a  little  note.  Something  Spe- 
cial. On  the  other  side  a  big  red 
announcement  of  last  night's  "triple 
threat"  SCSA  Christmas  Extrava- 
ganza." While  on  the  glass  someone 
has  scotch-taped:  Help,  I'm  off  to 
Somalia. 

Well,  these  bulletin  boards,  bub- 
bling fountains.  Campus  Christmas 
tree,  Candles  in  every  window  of 
Wright  Hall,  and  the  neatly  trimmed 
light  pules  all  around  the  mall  and  all 
of  us  wish  you  a  very  Merry  Christ- 
masandaHappy  1993.  That'sabout 
the  extent  of  our  "joy"  along  the 
promenade  this  season— CHEERS!

By  Brcnda  Keller        | 


New  students  who  saw  Dr.  Lynn 
Sauls  hug  Dr.  Jack  McClarly  at  reg- 
istration last  Monday  may  have 
walked  away  with  a  lew  unanswered 
questions. 

Not  to  worry.  Sauls,  who  is  Jour- 
nalism and  Communication  Dept. 
Chairman,  had  reason  to  celebralc. 
McClarty,  vice-president  for  Devel- 
opment, had  just  told  Sauls  that  an 
anonymously-made  donation  of 
$5000  had  been  added  10  the  Cecil 
Coffey  Scholarship  Fund. 

This  fund  was  set  up  in  memory 
of  Cecil  Coffey,  a  major  benefactor 
of  ihe  Journalism  department,  who 
died  last  April.  The  new  donation, 
along  with  other  gifts  and  pledges 
totaling  $4360.  brings  ihe  fund  bal- 
ance to$9360.  Sauls  hopes  the  inter- 
est will  accumulate  sufficiently  so 
ihe  department  can  begin  awarding 
scholarships  next  spring. 

The  Cecil  Coffey  scholarships 
will  be  awarded  to  freshman  or 
sophomore  students.  Sauls  explained 
that  other  criteria  will  be  based  on 
need,  a  minimum  of  3.0,  and  poten- 
tial success  in  communication  fields.

About  Accent 


Every  red-blooded  American 
111,1k  knows  that  no  newspaper  is 
really  a  newspaper  without  aSports 
page.  Accent  is  proud  to  have  an 
American  of  the  reddest  blood  as 
spurls  editor:  Pulnda-lovin'.golf- 
swingin',  chop-choppin',  wind- 
breakin'  Eric  Johnson. 

Eric,  a  sophomore  Wellness 
major  from  Vancouver.  Washing- 
ton, has  brought  a  refreshing  style 
to  Accent's  sports  page.  He's  in- 
irmluicLl  game  summaries,  "Ath- 
lete of  the  Week,"  and  the  notori- 
ous "Johnson's  picks,"  as  well  as 
keeping  up  with  all  sports  on  cam- 
pus and  making  la.st-minutc  runs  to 
the  gymnasium  for  sports  stand- 
ings, 


Eric  is  more  than  just  a  sports 
writer;  he's  a  true  sportsman.  "I 
like  all  sports,"  he  says.  But  his 
one  true  love  is  golf,  which  he  has 
played  since  his  freshman  year  at 
Columbia  Academy  in  Washing- 
tonState.  "Golfisthehardestsport 
in  the  world  to  master,"  he  says 
proudly.  "You  can  never  stop 
working  on  itat  all."  Ittakes  hours 
of  practice  and  devotion  just  to 
consistency. 

That  Johnson  got  the  job  at  all 


surprising.  Not  only  do  his 
:politicsannoytheedi- 
tor,  but  he  is  a  lifelong  fan  of  the 
Atlanta  Braves — the  arch  rivals  of 
the ediim Mavonie team:  Cincin- 
nati. Growing  up  in  Atlanta  may 
be  one  reason  forthe  delusion,  Eric 
lived  there  until  he  was  14.  "You 
can't  even  compare  the  Reds  and 
the  Braves,"  he  says  scoffing  at 
Cincinnati's  tepid  second-place 
finish  last  year.  "Since  we  signed

We'll  see,  Eric.  This  editor  is 
pretty  Red-blooded  too.  — Jd.

College  offers  new  long  distance  tele- 
phone service  through  Comtel 

rl   ^  By  Hank  Krumhoiz~| 


The  phone  lines  at  South* 

be  as  busy  after  1 1 :00  p.m.,  thanks  to 

the  ComTel  Corporation. 

During  the  Christmas  holidays, 
most  Southern  students  received  a 
letter  from  ComTel  Corporation 
about  a  new  long  distance  telephone 
service.  Inside,  students  learned  of 
an  affordable  alternative  to  their  cur- 
rent long  distance  companies  and  a 
chance  to  give  ComTel  a  free  ten- 
minute  trial. 

According  to  Chip  Palmer, 
ComTel  regional  sales  manager,  the 


tup 


t  the  i 


quest  of  John  Beckett,  director  of 
information  services  at  Southern. 
Palmer  said  ComTet's  long  distance 
services  were  designed  to  replace 
Southern's  previous  end-of-the- 
month  billing  system,  which  did  not 

ComTel's  long  distance  services 
arc  based  on  a  debit  system.    Stu- 


dents enroll  by  depositing  a  mini- 
mum of  $15.00  at  the  Student  ID 
Center.  Afterwards,  telephone  call 
charges  are  deducted  from  the 
individual's  account  upon  comple- 
tion of  a  call.  Students  are  informed 
of  their  current  balance  before  and 
after  each  call.  When  the  account 
reaches  $0.00,  service  is  disabled 
until  another  $15.00  is  deposited. 

"The  ComTel  debit  system  is  a 
great  budgeting  tool,  since  you  can't 
spend  more  than  is  in  your  account," 
said  Palmer.  He  added  that  the  sys- 
tem was  the  best  way  to  protect  the 
students  and  the  school  from  fraudu- 
lent calls  and  abuses. 

According  to  Palmer,  ComTel 
provides  a  less  expensive  alternative 
to  credit  card  calling.  With  ComTel, 
students  can  make  long  distance  calls 
for  a  flat  rate  of  $  .21  per  minute,  at 
any  time,  anywhere  in  the  continen- 
tal United  States,  he  said  that  with 
other  long  distance  companies,  stu- 
dents pay  a  high  per  minute  charge 


plusacallingcard  surcharge  of  about 
$.80  per  call. 

Palmer  said  that  because  of  high 
daytime  longdistance  charges,  many 
students  wait  until  late  at  night  to  call 
home.  "ComTel  wants  to  encourage 
students  to  change  their  dialing  hab- 
its and  make  calls  when  they  are 
most  important,"  said  Palmer. 

"Now  Southern  students  can  have 
a  value-added  long  distance  service 
that  is  convenient  and  affordable," 
said  Palmer.  "It's  pizza  money." 

Though  the  new  ComTel  ser- 
vices offer  potential  savings,  many 
Southern  students  believe  that  it  will 
take  awhile  to  catch  on. 

"I  think  it's  a  good  idea,  but  a 
semester  too  late,"  said  Avery 
McDougle,  a  freshman  Public  Rela- 
tions major.  "Everyone  is  used  to 
their  current  credit  card  and  it's  hard 
to  break  the  habit." 

Sophomore  Steve  Constantine,  a 
physical  therapy  major,  agrees.  "I 
like  the  concept,  but  it's  more  con  ve-

Sexual  Harassment:  Looking  into  the  gray 


By  Mike  i.orren 


I  prank  phonecall.  An  off-color  joke.  An  inva- 
ifsomeoneelse'spersonalspace.  Itmaynot 
like  much  to  you.  However,  to  them  il  is 
|exual  harassment. 

Sexual  harassment  is  not  just  confined  to  men 
men;  yes  it  even  happens  between  men. 
ling  to  law,  sexual  harassment  covers  feel- 
s  well  as  physical  actions.  If  you  make 
ne  feel  uncomfortable  with  your 


tion  or  the  situation  you  put  them  in,  you  are  guilty 
of  sexual  harassment. 

According  toSouthem'sDirectorofPersonel 
Elsworth  Hetke,  this  area  of  the  law  is  what  is 
known  as  a  "gray  issue."  There  are  no  specific 
boundaries  where  someone  must  stop.  "If  it  is 
unwanted,  it  is  sexual  harassment." 

Sexual  harassment  also  varies  form  place  to 
place.accordingtoHetke,  "you  must  be  careful  lo 
know  the  climate  of  the  place."  A  college  like 
Southern  is  a  much  more  conservative  place  than 
a  state  college  or  a  secular  private  university." 

Southern  College  President,Dr.DonaldSahly, 
states  that "  I  do  not  believe  at  this  time  there  is  a 
problem  with  sexual  harassment  on  campus,  to 
my  knowledge." 

Sahly  goes  on  to  say  that  there  have  been  some 
complaints  in  the  past.  However,  "there  were  no 
allegations  of  sexual  harassment,  but  rather  a 
complaint  of  a  teacher  making  a  person  feel  un- 
comfortable." The  situation  was  fully  explained 
to  the  faculty  member  and  that  person  was  given 
written  and  verbal  instructions  from  the  adminis- 
tration on  how  to  correct  that  behavior. 

A  junioron  campus  feels  differently.  "I  do  not 
feel  comfortable,"  she  said,  "when  acasual  (male) 
acquaintance  cannot  talk  to  me  without  giving  me 
a  hug  or  running  his  hand  down  my  arm." 


Another  Junior  says  that  she  feels  that  she  was 
also  harassed.  "A  male  made  extremely  inappro- 
priate invasions  of  my  personal  space." 

College  faculty  have  a  handbook  that  covers 
their  conduct  as  educators.  This  handbook  con- 
tains a  section  on  ethics  which  says  that  sexual 
harassment  includes  "comments  or  jokes  that 
embarrass  or  degrade  employees  or  students, 
whether ornot  those  comments  aim  at  the  employ- 
ees or  students  personally." 

The  same  section  goes  on  to  include  "unwel- 
come touching:  for  example  fondling,  patting, 
pinching,  hugging,  repeatedly  brushing  against, 
or  otherwise  contacting  another  person  physically 
without  his  or  her  consent." 

Surprisingly  enough,  the  Student  Hand- 
book contained  in  the  yearly  calender  does  not 
contain  a  statement  on  sexual  harassment,  How- 
ever, under  the  section  of  College  Standards  it 
does  use  the  words  "improper  sexual  behavior  is 
discouraged." 

Those  hilarious  phonecalls,  those  off-color 
jokes,  and  those  seemingly  innocent  hugs  may 
make  you  guilty  of  sexual  harassment.  The  be- 
havior that  fits  your  standards  may  not  necessarily 
fit  those  of  others.  "A  Seventh-day  Adventist 
environment  is  more  sensitive,"  state  Hetke.  The 
line  is  not  easy  to  see. 


Fast  Facts  on  Harassment 

Studies  cited  by  a  recent  report  said  that  sexual 
harassment  caused  6  percent  to  8  percent  of  working 
women  lo  change  theirjobs  and  that  15  percent  to  30 
percent  have  experienced  serious  problems  such  as 
;d  touching,  offensive  sexual  commentary 
and  unwelcome  requests  for  sexual  intercourse. 
"Sexual  harassment  is  one  of  the  most  offensive  and 
[demeaning  experiences  an  employee  can  suffer.  For 


those  who  are  ils  viutirm.  it  olicn  produces  feelings 
of  revulsion,  violation,  disgust,  anger  and  power- 
lessness." 

-  The  term  "sexual  harrasment"  originated  in  the  US 
and  the  federal  courts  were  the  first  to  recognize  it, 
in  1975,  as  a  prohibited  form  of  sexual  discrimina- 

-  In  general.  American  women  are  fairly  intolerant 
and  perhaps  more  strenuous  in  their  perse rverance  in 
pursuing  harassment  charges.

Sharon  is  sure  that  there  group  was  a  witness 
to  the  other  volunteers,  too.  Especially  when  they 
helped  decorate  the  two  award-winning  floats  and 
refused  to  accept  the  money  for  themselves.  The 
SDA  float  didn't  receive  any  prize. 

The  judging  of  the  floats  took  place  on  De- 
cember 31st.  Sharon  remembers  being  tired  then 
because  she  hadn't  slept  in  the  last  twenty-four 

Yet  the  next  morning  at  5,  she  was  at  the 
paradesite  in  the40degree  weather.  She  had  hand 
warmers  on  and  even  some  in  her  shoes:  "The 
others  were  real  cold.  I  felt  sorry  for  them.  So  I 
gave  them  my  extra  hand -warmers." 

Soon  she  was  smilingand  waving  at  thecrowd. 
Her  arms  would  grow  tired  but  when  she'd  think 
of  putting  them  down  anotherbunch  of  Adventists 
would  cheer  her  on.  "They  really,  really  encour- 
aged us  and  that  kept  us  going." 

The  last  customer  at  the  Quick  Print  leaves 
and  Sharon  sits  down  once  more.  She's  already 
thinking  about  1994.  She  might  go  back  just  to 
help  out.  She'll  definitely  miss  her  new-found 
friends  in  California.  She's  hoping  that  her  past 
week  will  result  in  bringing  someone  closer  to 
God.  She  won't  participate  in  the  Rose  Parade 
next  year.  It's  scheduled  on  a  Saturday.  Maybe 
Ihe  next  year  after  that ?

Listen  to  the  "AIDS  talk' 

Guest  editorial  by  Sonya  Nyrop 


ymJI 


Sex  is  the  unpardonable  sin.  We're 
less  likely  to  speak  about  it,  and 
we're  less  likely  lo  forgive  it. 

A  person  dying  from  lung  cancer 
receives  our  sympathy,  despite  the 
fact  that  he  or  she  has  smoked  two 
packs  a  day  for  the  past  thirty  years. 
Where  does  that  compassion  go  when 
it  comes  to  AidS  victims?  "We  have 
to  continue  to  love  people  who  are 
dying  from  this  disease,"  said  Cindy 
Borgess  of  Chattanooga  CARES,  an 
AIDS  prevention  organization. 

Adventists  tend  to  be  impractical 
on  the  issue  of  AIDS.  We  avoid  the 
issue,  thinking  it  won'l  happen  to  us. 
Our  illusory  safely  comes  from  the 
verbal  order  given  to  our  children — 
"NO  SEX  UNTIL  MARRIAGE"— 
and  thinking  that  this  will  be  enough. 


This  approach  is  unrealistic;  sin  is 
very  real,  immensely  fun,  and  readily 
available.  People  are  going  to  have 
sex  and"Don't"issimply  not  enough. 

However,  the  issue  is  not  about 
premarital  sex  but  about  AIDS  and 
its  prevention.  With  all  the  publicity 
that  AIDShasgotten.  many  are  weary 
of  "AIDS  talk."  but  there  are  1.5 
million  people  in  the  United  Slates 
with  AIDS,  and  2,500  of  them  live  in 
Tennessee.  The  alarming  fact  is  that 
30%  of  the  2,500  were  infected  as 
teenagers.  CARES  states  that  Ten- 
nessee has  had  815  new  cases  of 
AIDS  since  January  of  this  year. 
Obviously  not  everyone  has  listened 
to  the  "AIDS  talk." 

HIV,  which  is  the  virus  that  re- 
sults in  AIDS,  is  solely  transferred 


by  blood.  This  means  s  there  are 
three  methods  of  spreading  AIDS: 
(1)  blood  to  blood  contact;  (2)  un- 
protected sex — whether  heterosexual 
or  homosexual;  and  (3)  from  the 
mother  to  her  fetus.  Blood  to  blood 
contact  largely  concerns  intravenous 
drug  users.  If  this  category  fits  you, 
get  help  for  your  drug  problem.  If 
you  absolutely  must  use  drugs,  never 
share  your  needles  with  anyone. 

The  second  category  concerns 
all  of  us.  Vaginal  secretions  and 
semen  are  blood  products  and  there- 


fore ( 


:  HIV- 


sex  is  not  safe.  Protect  yourself.  If 
you're  going  to  have  a  sexual  rela- 
tionship, be  monogamous.  And — 
we've  heard  this  enough  times — use 
a  condom.  A  condom  alone  is  80% 
effective.  If  used  correctly,  how- 
ever, it  is  98%  effective.  To  use  a 
condom  correctly  means  knowing 
how  and  when  to  put  one  on,  com- 
bining it  with  spermicide,  and  pref-

erably  using  one  that  has  a  reserve 
tip  and  is  made  of  latex. 

"AIDS  is  not  a  casual  disease" 
said  Borgess.  This  means  you c^\ 
not  get  it  form  handshakes,  hugg^ 
sneezing,  coughing,  kissing,  or  toilet  I 
seats.  HIV,  once  it  comes  in  co 
with  the  air,  weakens;  the  vin 
fact,  can  be  killed  with  Lysol. 

The  total  deaths  from  AIDS  in  I 
Tennessee  is  1,5000.  "NoonehaJ 
ever  survived  AIDS,"  said  E 
Unfortunately,  the  number  o 
from  AIDS  is  rising.  Ourma 
should  be  to  educate  everyone  u 
AIDS  prevention,  and  to  give  treatl 
ment  and  care  to  AIDS  victims,  nJ 
one  asks  for  AIDS  and  ni 
serves  AIDS — not  a  homosexual,  | 
drug  user,  or  a  promiscuous  r 
woman.  "We  are  going  to  see 
when  AIDS  is  going  to  turn

An  Open  Letter  to  Capitalists 

Guest  Editorial  by  Greg  Camp 


I  recently  saw  a  report  on  CNN 
that  struck  me  with  an  extreme  sense 
of  irony.  A  postal  employee  found  a 
letter  in  the  mail  addressed  to  Santa. 
When  it  was  opened,  a  heartbreaking 
cry  came  out.  The  letter  was  from  a 
boy  named  Tiiad.  It  asked  Santa  to 
bring  a  job  for  Thud's  father  and 
food  for  his  family.  But  more  than 
that,  it  said  that  perhaps  it  would  be 
belter  for  Triad  lo  go  to  heaven  so 
there  would  be  one  less  mouth  to 
feed  in  his  family. 

1  used  to  think  that  little  boys 
were  supposed  to  ask  for  bicycles 
and  M.ik  hlio\  L;irs  and  toy  trains  for 
Christmas.  Thad  didn't  ask  for  a 
bicycle— Thad  asked  Santa  to  bring 
food  for  his  family  and  death  for 
himself.  What  has  gone  wrong  with 
this  country? 

The  constitution  of  our  nation 
says  that  government  is  to  promote 
the  general  welfare.  Can  we  hon- 
estly say  that  we  arc  doing  that  when 
there  is  a  sea  of  possibly  millions  of 
starving  people  out  there  with  a  little 
boy  named  Thad  caught  in  the 
middle? 

Somehow  it  seems  unlikely  that 
Adam  Smith  has  the  answer.  He 
would  tell  you  that  you  cut  taxes  on 
the  rich  so  that  the  rich  can  buy 
yachts  so  the  yacht  companies  can 


hire  skilled  technicians  so  the  techni- 
cians can  buy  caviar  so  the  caviar 
harvesters  can  collect  more  fish  eggs 

so Where  does  Thad  fit  into  this 

equation?  If  he  fits  in  at  all,  it  will 
takeyearstogetaroundhim.  He  may 
be  dead  by  the  time  the  unfeeling 
hand  of  Smith  is  moved  to  act. 

You  Smithians  worry  about  Ross 
Perot— I  worry  about  Thad.  That's 
the  difference.  Ross  Perot  will  be 
secure  no  matter  whether  Rush 
Limbaugh  or  Paul  Simon  rules  the 
country.  Perot  has  food,  shelter, 
bodyguards,  three  billion  dollars,  and 
nineteen  percent  of  Americans  as  his 
assets.  Thad  has  a  letter  to  Santa — a 
letter  that  may  never  arrive. 

1  wish  this  did  not  have  to  be  an 
issue  of  liberal  vs.  conservative.  I 
wish  it  would  simply  be  an  issue  of 
what  do  we  do  to  respond  in  a  mean- 
ingful way,  i.e.  a  way  that  saves 
Triad's  life  and  the  lives  of  the  many 
other  people  who  arc  starving  in  this 
country.  But  if  I  must  get  labeled  a 
liberal  for  wanting  a  solution,  then 
giveme  the  label.  I'llwearitproudly. 
Please  don't  talk  to  me  about  capital 
gains  tax  cuts  and  the  Dow  Jones 
index  unless  your  formula  includes 
Thad.

'Somewhere,  lost  among  ihe  restless  waves  of  the  Pacific  Ocean  lies  a 
long,  thin, coral  rock  known  as  Majuro.  Here,  on  Ihiscapital  island  of  asmall 
third  world  country,  I  made  my  home  and  began  to  teach. 

As  I  observed  the  small  world  around  me,  I  immediately  began  to  realize 
there  were  certain  things  the  island  was  short  on  such  as  drinking  water, 
doctors  that  knew  what  they  were  doing,  and  teachers.  I  also  noticed  the 
island  seemed  to  be  in  surplus  of  other  items  such  as  trash, children,  and  soda 
pop. 

Why  so  much  Soda  pop  and  so  few  teachers?  This  is  an  especially 
puzzling  question  since  both  soda  pop  and  missionary  teachers  seem  to 
mostly  come  from  the  same  place  -  America. 

This  was  the  question  I  found  myself  pondering  after  a  long,  hoi,  extra 
dry  day.  My  best  friend,  Becky,  and  I  had  decided  to  lake  a  break  from 
grading  papers  and  go  to  one  of  the  island's  restaurants  for  a  sandwich  and 

We  were  in  the  middle  of  a  drought  at  the  time,  and  my  ice-cold  root-beer 
seemed  like  a  gift  straight  from  heaven.  As  I  savored  its  cool,  refreshing 
taste,  I  studied  the  side  of  the  can,  noticing  it  had  come  from  a  city  no  more 
than  100  miles  from  my  hometown. 

"Isn't  it  amazing,"  I  asked  Becky,  "how  this  root-beer  was  bom  soclose 
to  where  I  live,  yet  it  traveled  all  these  thousands  of  miles  just  so  I  could  drink 
it?" 

"You  had  ahard  day,  didn't  you?"  Becky  asked,  not  at  all  impressed  with 
my  discovery. 

Yet,  I  continued  to  think  about  my  soda  pop,  and  how  it  had  traveled  so 
far,  just  to  satisfy  my  thirst.  I  imagined  a  giant  soda  pop  warehouse  lined 
with  thousands  of  cans  of  root-beer  all  waiting  for  their  fate  to  be  decided. 
When  told  it  was  to  go  to  Majuro,  my  can  of  root-beer  didn't  argue,  it  simply 
allowed  itself  to  be  carried  to  the  boat.  Anyone  listening  closely,  could  have 
heard  it  singing,  "Clickily-clak  swish-swung,  clickily-clik  swung  pluk 
clickity  clickity  pluck  pluck"  which  is  root-beerese  for  "Guess  I'm  going  to 


join  in  on  the  "clickity -clak"  song. 

A  man  at  the  next  table  opened  his  soda  pop,  "spiiiish"  the  sound  of  I 
satisfaction.  And  why  shouldn't  that  soda  pop  be  satisfied?  After  all,  it  had 
done  all  it  could  to  help  quench  that  man's  thirst.  1,  too,  had  felt  that  same 
satisfaction  earlier  that  day,  as  a  child  starving  for  attention  had  climbed  on 
to  my  lap  to  give  me  a  hug. 

"You  know,"  I  sighed,  turning  back  to  Becky,  "this  world  would  be  a 
much  better  place,  if  more  people  could  be  like  soda  pop." 


Majuro.  what  I'll  do  there  I  done 
I'll  go."  It  didn't  argue,  it  just  w 
My  mind  then  shifted  to  my  c 
"God,  I  had  argued,  "you  can't  w 
1  don't  want  to  be  behind,  you  c; 
you?"  That  wasn't  my  only  e 


know,  but  I  know  there's

for  cockroaches,  wanting  to  be  with  my  boyfriend,  not  wanting  to  be  away 
from  home  on  Christmas — yet  the  more  I  argued,  the  more  God  encourage 
me  to  go.  Soon,  I  too,  found  myself  singing,  "Clickity-clak  swish-swung. 

Yet,  I  was  aware  of  the  many  potential  SMs  who  had  seemingly  won 
their  argument  with  God  and  had  not  one  where  they  had  been  called.  Every 
day,  as  I  struggled  to  keep  my  45  first-graders  in  control,  I  wondered  what 
it  would  be  like  had  the  "other"  first  grade  teacher  been  willing  enough  to

lalready  been  put  away  with  the 

piristmas  tree. 

The  recipe  for  an  ideal  weight 

level  is  Nutrition  +  Exercise  =  a 

Tlealthy  Body.  Without  exercise  the 

K>unds  will  stay  on.  However,  anew 

iudy  by  the  professor  of  medicine 

ind  Exercise  Science  from  the  Center 

Ifor Exercise  Science  atthe  University 

Tof  Florida  states  "Exercise  should 

t  be  forced  but  should  be  part  of 

ur  daily  lifestyle.  Everything  you 

Ijo  -  gardening,  strolling,  taking  the 

s  rather  than  the  elevator  - 

i  this  study  many  people  have 
ausly  become  discouraged  by 
laerobics'  high  expectations.  Less 
■than  10%  of  the  adult  population 
e  strenuously  enough  to  raise 
I  their  heart  rate  60  to  90%  and  keep  it 
elevated  for  twenty  minutes.  The 
(exciting  news  from  the  1989  study 
it  didn't  take  much  exercise  lo 
a  big  health  difference." 
■Researchers  estimate  that  just  a  half- 
Ihours  walk  everyday  would  cut  the 


riskof  death  by  half.  Even  thelnstitute 
for  Aerobics  Research  has  been 
studying  the  effects  of  scaled-down 
exercise.  In  a  recent  study,  women 
who  walked  three  miles  a  day  at  a 
comfortable  speed  fared  as  well  as 
those  who  walked  at  anaerobic  pace. 
"Compared  with  the  aerobic 
exercisers,  the  strollers  lost  as  much 
body  fat  and  achieved  the  same  level 
of  protection  against  heart  disease. 
Both  groupsof  women  increased  their 
LDL  Cholesterol  -  the  kind  that 
protects    arteries   against   fatty 

This  study  could  leave  you 
less  than  impressed  if  your  main 
objective  is  a  firm,  trim  body.  While 
a  casual  walk  will  not  give  you  the 
weight  lifters  body,  it  will  give  you 
firmer  thighs, bettercalvcs.  and  shape 
to  the  arms.  As  far  as  losing  weight, 
a  mile  of  walking  burns  about  as 
many  calories  as  a  mile  of  running  - 
it  just  takes  longer.  At  least  half  of 
your  body's  fuel  comes  from  body 
fat  when  you're  walking;  during  a 
run,  less  than  a  third  of  the  calories 
come  from  fat.  So,  the  moral  here  is: 
Keep  the  resolution.  Just  modify  it 
enough  to  work  in  a  practical,  sensible 
exercise  routine  for  your  life  and  a 
healthy  future.

About  Accent 

Coordinating  a  Pajama  Issue  is 
not  as  easy  as  falling  out  of  bed.  Just 
ask  Julie  Dittes,  who  covered  ev- 
erything from  selecting  models,  to 
finding  cameramen,  to  picking  out 
in  preparing  Accent's  latest 
wacky  feature. 

letting  up  modeling  is  not 
easy."  says  Julie,  a  freshman  speech 
|iailu)loii\  inajoi  from  Portland, Ten- 
icssee.  Fach  picture  had  to  be  set  up 
o  show  the  pajamas  at  the  right 
ingle,  get  a  good  facial  expression 
and  gather  the  right  action.  "Plus," 
Julie  adds,  "you  have  10  keep  people 
from  being  camera  hogs." 

Though  she  had  no  previous  ex- 
perience in  modeling,  Julie  claims 
she  learned  everything  she  needed 
to  know  from  her  favorite  soap  op- 
era. As  The  World  Turns,  where 
glamorous  models  and  modeling 
sessions  arc  an  every  day  affair. 
The  real  challenges,  she  says,  were 
"keeping  everybody  dressed  and 
assuring  the  stores  we  weren't  steal- 
ing their  clothes." 

Chosing  people  to  model  paja- 
mas can  be  quite  a  hard  job.  For 
Julie  it  was  no  problem.  "[Themod- 
els]  had  to  have  squeezable  looks 
and  a  squeezable  attitude,"  she  says 


before  adding,  "  And  1  knew  they 
had  to  be  willing  to  wear  anything." 
For  instance,  Christian  Smith,  Julie 
says,  "looks  mean  and  ornery,  but 
deep  down  inside  he's  a  big  teddy 
bear."  Another  model,  Charlie 
Hanson,  has  a  face  thai  "just  makes 
me  want  to  pinch  his  cheeks." 

Posing  people  in  pajamas  firsl 
came  to  Accent  seven  years  ago. 
Julie  has  taken  the  idea  to  new 
heights.  But  after  this  issue,  Julie 
will  leave  the  glamorous  life  behind 
and  turn  the  pages  of  Accent  back  to 
her  brother,  the  editor.  Hopefully 
some  of  the  glamor  will  rub  off. 
Some  people  even  say  she  looks 
like  him.  -Jd.

SCSA  elections  set 
for  February  18 


Every  Southern  College  student  is 
about  to  experience  the  wonders  of 
politics— again.  This  time,  though, 
the  elections  are  onacollegiate  level. 

On  February  18,  students  will 
elect  seven  new  SCSA  officers. 
Voters  will  cast  their  ballots  at  polls 
in  Brock  Hall,  both  dorms,  the  stu- 
dent center,  and  the  cafeteria. 

"It's  really  important  that  stu- 
dents vote  so  that  they  have  an  active 
part  in  choosing  their  student  lead- 
ers," said  Sophomore  Jacque 
Branson.  "Since  the  national  elec- 
tions were  in  the  forefront  of 
everyone's  life,  hopefully  students 
will  participate  in  the  Southern  elec- 
tions." Branson  is  running  forMemo- 

"My  vote  makes  a  difference," 
saidFreshmanShelleyMagray.  "We 
can  have  a  good  year  or  a  bad  year, 
and  I  have  some  control  over  who 
gets  into  office." 

SCSA's  current  president,  Krisi 
Clark,  expressed  pleasure  with  the 
quality  and  potential  of  every  candi- 


date. "We  have  a  lot  of  good  candi- 
'  she  said.  "We  can  all  look 
forward  toareally  good  year."  Clark 
does  not  plan  to  run  again  because  of 
"ilu'i  m  hnhiMk  commitments. 

This  election  is  important  be- 
cause Southern  students  will  be,  "lay- 
ing a  foundation  that  will  stay  with 
the  school,"  said  Junior  David 
Beckwonh. 

Beckworth  feels  that  electing 
another  SCSA  staff  who  will  main- 
tain the  organization's  positive  im- 
age is  essential.  "We  are  the  voice  of 
the  student  body  to  the  administra- 
tion," he  said.  "I'd  like  to  see  more 
people  involved  in  the  race." 
Beckworth  is  campaigning  unop- 
posed for  SCSA  President. 

JuniorSuzanneHuntbelievesthat 
carefully  selecting  the  officers  is  vi- 
tal. "It's  important  for  those  people 
to  be  dependable,"  said  Hunt.  "I 
admire  those  who  can  take  on  the 
recspunsibility." 

Hunt  shared  one  view,  though, 
that  most  students  agree  with.  "If 
students  don't  vote,  they  have  no 
right  to  complain  about  the  SCSA!"

said  Musical  Director  Marvin 
Robertson.  "Right  now,  wc  are  prac-

"Maria  [the  lead]  has  the  most  diffi- 
cult role.  It's  a  very  demanding  role 
because  she  carries  the  whole  show. 
Maria  not  only  has  to  be  able  to  sing, 
but  she  also  has  to  be  believable." 

"It's  challenging,  but  not  intimi- 
dating," said  '92  nursing  graduate 
Terra  Cockrell,  who  will  play  Maria, 
"I  watched  the  movie  several  limes 
when  I  was  girl.  I  always  wanted  to 
be  Maria." 

However,  the  preparations  for  a 
production  like  The  Soitrui  of  Mnxii 


stop  with  the  cast.  There  are 
:  sewn  and  scenery  to 
be  made.  Ideas  for  scenery,  ward- 
robes, and  props  included  in  a  book 
called  alibretto,  along  with  die  script 

"We  could  make  the  cos- 
tumes exactly  like  the  libretto  ad- 
vises or  even  rent  them,  but  it's  more 
fun  to  see  what  you  can  create  your- 
self," said  wardrobe  Lezlee  Wallers. 
"1  gel  some  patterns  from  the  book 
and  some  I  have  lo  make  up.  I  have 
watched  Ihe  movie  several  times  to 
try  to  get  the  costumes  as  close  as 
possible.  It's  a  hard  choice  between 
what  truly  would  have  been  worn 
and  what  people  want  to  see."  With 
about  150  costumes  to  be  made, 
Walters  estimates  final  touches  will 
probably  be  made  right  up  to  the  first 
performance,  "we  started  in  Decem- 
ber and  already  have  costumes  for 
the  wedding  scene  and  the  children's 
uniforms  done,  But,  we  probably 
won't  be  completely  finished  until 
the  opening  night  of  the  show," 
Wallers  said. 

The  planned  scenery  will  be  kepi 
simple. due  to  a  lack  of  space  in  the 
wings  of  the  stage.  "We  don't  have 
a  fully  working  stage,  so  we  will  use 
the  scenery  to  set  the  mood  and  let

Southerners  attend  Clinton  inauguration! 


By  Jessica  Vining 


Richard  Johnson,  who  works  in  SC's 
kitchen,  has  written  a  lot  of  letters  to 
Senator  Jim  Sasser  and  says  he  will 
"always  write  you  right  back."  But 
probably  none  of  the  the  senator's 
responses  have  been  as  rewarding  as 
Ihe  one  Johnson  received  Thursday, 
January  14.  Before  Christinas,  John- 
son requested  tickets  to  the  presiden- 
tial inauguration.  He  finally  got  the 

After  a  flurry  of  last-minute 
preparations,  Johnson.  Shirley 
Mcnhennet.whoisalsoon  the  kitchen 
staff,  and  Student  Joe  Ellsworth 
headed  for  the  nation's  capital.  They 
took  with  them  three  Southern  Col- 
lege sweatshirts  the  SCSA  had  pur- 
chased for  Bill  Clinton,  Al  Gore,  and 
Jim  Sasser. 

When  ihe  trio  arrived  in  Wash- 
ington, Tuesday  morning,  they  went 


straight  to  Sasser's  office,  but  the 
senator  had  left  for  a  meeting.  They 
picked  up  their  tickets  and  received 
in  ihe  same  envelope  an  invitation  to 
the  Tennessee  reception  the  next 
morning.  Hoping  to  catch  Senator 
Sasser  that  afternoon  or  al  the  recep- 
tion, they  spent  the  rest  of  the  day 
touring  the  city. 

At  Wednesday's  reception.  John- 
son, Mcnhcnnet,  and  Ellsworth 
posled  themselves  at  the  door  to 
watch  for  Sasser.  Johnson  spoiled 
David  Carroll,  news  anchorman  for 
Chattanooga's  Channel  4.  Johnson 
hailed  him  with  "Boy,  it's  good  lo 
see  a  fellow  Chattanoogan  up  here." 
Carroll  stopped  to  chal  with  him  and 
a  few  UTC  students  who  happened 
by  and  then  asked  to  interview  John- 
son, who  held  up  one  of  the  SC 
sweatshirts  during  the  interview. 

Senator  Sasserdidn't  show  at  the 
reception,  and  ihe  three  left  to  fight 
the  crowds  at  ihe  inauguration  itself. 


The  town  that,  as  Johnson  said,  was 
"asleep  or  dead"  the  day  before  was 
very  much  alive  and  awake  in  the 
cold  sunshine  of  Inauguration  Day. 
The  line  went  two  blocks  and  then 
curled  around  a  comer.  But,  they 
noticed  lhai  up  at  Ihe  gale  people 
were  flowing  right  through.  They 
joined  the  quickly  moving  crowd  al 
the  gate,  held  up  their  tickets,  and 
walked  right  in.  People  were  already 
climbing  trees  to  get  a  belter  view. 
and  the  group  from  Southern  didn't 
get  very  close  and  personal.  Butlhey 
could  hear  everything  and  could 
walch  the  proceedings  on  screens 
that  had  been  set  up.  "It  was  some-

mittees and  their  duties.  The  Sen- 
ate liked  them  so  much  that  they 
immediately  approved  their  addi-

Ryan  Anderson  asked  for  the

more  accidents  like  his,  lodging 
three  complaints.  He  pointed  out 
the  "ONE  WAY"  sign  at  the  en-

contemporary,  shared  encounter  with 
Jesus"  with  Dwight  Nelson,  pastor 
of  Andrews  University's  Pioneer 
Memorial  Church,  Feb.  7-13. 

"We  as  young  Adventists  must 
seize  the  vision  and  passion  of  Christ 
in  the  context  of  the  world  in  the 
throws  of  the  final  showdown,"  said 
Nelson.  "I  really  believe  that,  con- 


sidering this  moment  in  time,  we're 
poised  on  the  brink  of  God's  last 
dream." 

Nelson isa  I973graduate of SC. 
"He's  excellent,"  said  Freshman 
Angic  Cobb,  who  noted  that  Nelson 
was  known  for  dressing  as  Santa

Harassment  from  the 
inside:  One  woman's  view. 


I  cannot  express  my  feeling  of  relief  when  I  saw  your  editorial  and  the 
articleaboutsexual  harassment  in  the  January  14, 1993  edition  of  iht  Accent. 

I  have  a  real  burden  for  this  issue.  For  so  long  in  Adventist  circles,  it 
seems  that  this  issue  has  been  ignored,  when  it  is  a  very  real  problem. 

So  many  people  do  not  realize  the  effects  of  sexual  harassment.  It  is 
demeaning.  It  leaves  a  woman  felling  ashamed  and  dirty.  The  after-effects 
can  last  a  lifetime.  In  my  view,  sexual  harassment  is  a  form  of  rape,  in  fact, 
the  worst  kind.  It  is  mind  rape.  Sexual  harassment  rapes  a  woman  of  her 
confidence,  self-respect,  and  self  esteem.  It  leaves  her  feeling  dirty, 
ashamed,  and  feeling  guilty. 

This  doesn't  seem  like  an  important  issue  to  someone  who  hasn't 
experienced  it.  But  to  those  who  have,  it  is  one  of  the  worst  experiences  in 
their  life.  1  know.  It  was  the  worst  experience  in  my  life.  No  one  told  me 
that  something  like  this  could  happen.  An  upperclassman  at  the  SDA 
academy  I  attended  made  me  feci  this  way.  Worse  yet,  he  was  the  son  of  a 
prominent  community  member,  wcll-likcd  and  we II -respected.  I  felt  that  it 
was  my  fault,  that  there  was  nothing  that  I  could  do  about  it.  Worst  yet,  I  was 
only  thirteen  at  the  time.  I  was  afraid  to  walk  down  the  hall  by  myself,  for 
fear  of  him.  I  was  afraid  to  make  new  friends  for  fear  that  he  had  told  them 
what  I  had  done,  when  in  facl,  I  had  dune  nothing.  Continually  he  assaulted 
me  with  lewd  comments  and  sometimes,  groping  hands.  That  year  was  the 
worst  in  my  life. 

It  wasn't  until  two  years  later,  during  the  Anita  Hill  hearings,  that  I 
realized  that  what  1  had  gone  through  was  sexual  harassment.  It  wasn't  until 
then  that  I  realized  that  other  women  were  experiencing  the  same  things  I 
was.  I  didn't  know  that  I  could  get  help. 

Sexual  harassment  needs  not  to  be  simply  discoursed;  it  should  not  be 
tolerated  under  any  circumstances.  Education  needs  to  take  place  so  that 
females  can  learn  to  identify,  terminate,  and  deal  with  the  harassment. 
Victims  also  need  lo  see  that  it  they  ask  for  help,  they  will  not  be  ignored. 
They  need  to  see  that  there  is  sympathy  for  them  in  the  church,  and  that  the 
perpetrator  will  not  simply  gel  a  slap  on  the  wrist,  but  that  his  actions  will 
not  be  tolerated. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  your  address  of  this  issue  and  inspire  others  lo 
educate  their  sons  and  daughters.  I  hope  that  the  church  and  school  leaders 
will  also  take  notice  of  this  issue  and  offer  help  to  those  who  need  it.  I  also 
hope  that  it  will  help  all  those  who  are  experiencing  this  right  now  will  be 
strengthened  lo  know  that  ihey  aren't  the  only  ones,  thai  it's  not  their  fault. 
and  thai  there  is  help. 

Take  notice,  it  is  happening  in  our  churches  and  schools. 

Sincerely, 

Someone  Willing  to  Speak  Out

Safe  sex?  NOT!!!! 

Sir: 

I  am  writing  in  reply  to  the  article  published  14  Jan.  1993,  emitleJ 
"Listen  to  the  AIDS  Talk"  by  Sonya  Nyrop. 

As  I  read  this  particular  article,  I  was  impressed  by  the  authors  caringan 
Christian  attitude  towards  people  who  have  the  HIV  virus.  It  is  true  thatalfl 
people  should  be  treated  with  love  including  those  who  have  AIDS. 

However,  there  is  a  problem  here.  There  is  no  cure  for  AIDS.  A  persi 
with  AIDS  is  going  to  die.  But  that's  not  all!  AIDS  can  be  given  toothers; 
Many  people,  including  most  doctors,  try  to  lessen  the  danger  by  sayin 
AIDS  cannol  be  transmitted  by  "casual  contact."  Even  "safe  sc 
recommended  by  most  doetoiN  and  es|'eei,tll\  h\  tin.- media.  But,  where  is 
ihe  gray  area  when  casual  becomes  loo  much,  and  sale  is  not  so  safe? 

Lorane  Day ,  a  Ph.D.  and  a  specialist  on  AIDS  has  written  a  book  called!

According  to  her,  studies  show  ihat  the  HIV  virus  can  survive  outside  thJJ 
body  in  liquid  serum  for  seven  days  and  in  dried  scrum  for  up  to  14daysl 
Because  of  these  experiments.  Dr.  Day  says  that  even  insects  could  theorelil 
cally  transmit  HIV.  However,  this  information  is  being  hidden  from  thl 
public  to  prevent  panic. 

Olher  studies  also  show  that  couples  who  undergo  passionate  kissinfl 
have  blood  prevalent  in  both  of  their  mouths.  This  seems  to  show  that  AID! 
can  be  passed  by  kissing  passionately.  Should  we  now  start  advertising  "salj 
kissing?" 

Another  thing  about  the  HIV  virus  is  that  it  is  very  small.  Cross  si 
of  surgical  gloves  show  that  pores  and  tears  are  present  that  go  all  the  w 
through  and  that  are  many  times  larger  than  an  HIV  virus.  These  holes : 
in  all  rubber  gloves  and  also  in  all  rubber  condoms.  During  surgeries,  f 
will  get  through  a  doctor's  gloves  and  he  will  have  to  replace  them.  This| 
why  many  doctors,  when  operating  on  AIDS  patients,  wear  double  gl 
Hey,  what  about  doubling  other  things? 

The  point  is,  no  one  knows  everything  about  AIDS,  but  everyone  k 
that  it  is  totally  deadly.  Some  people,  even  experts,  say  that  AIDS  is 
easier  to  catch  than  what  we  are  being  told  through  the  media.  So,  hoi 
should  we  as  Christians  handle  all  of  this? 

First  of  all,  I  think  ihat  it  is  reasonable  to  say  that  there  just  i: 
sex,"  unless  one  likes  playing  Russian  Roulette.   This  is  just  o 
reasons  thai  I  think  God  knew  what  He  was  talking  about  when  He  advise* 
no  sex  until  marriage. 

We  can  also  see  that  AIDS  could  very  possibly  be  : 
dangerous  communicable  disease.  So  what  do  we  do  with  other  danger^ 
communicable  diseases?  We  lest  for  ihem  and  then  we  isolale  those  who 
have  them.  Docs  this  mean  ihat  we  no  longer  love  ihem  or  care  for  them-

No!  It  just  means  ..__.. 

This  is  a  loving  act  even  though  hard  ^perform.  Even  the  Bible  advocates 

such  action  in  the  case  of  such  diseases.  However,  we  still  love  these  p < 

and  should  do  what  we  can  to  help  them  just  as  Jesus  did  when  He  healed        | 

ten  lepers.  But  remember,  Jesus  did  heal  ihem  before  He  sent  them  back  i

Why  will  the  Bills  win?  Easy!  When  you  come

Until  recently,  PC  buyers  faced  a  dilemma. 
Bottom  dollar  mail-order,  or  premium 
priced  local  service  Then  mail-order 
companies  began  touting  free  on-site  service. 
It  looked  like  the  best  of  both  worlds  was 
here.  You  could  buy  your  machine  from  one 
of  those  companies,  and  as  long  as  nothing 
went  wrong,  never  know  the  difference. 
But  try  calling  them  and  you  find  out  the 
truth.  Adlsembodled  voice  al  theSouih 
Dakota  end  of  a  touch-tone  voice-mail  maze 
has  to  determine  whether  in  your  case,  on- 
site  service  is  ■'required."  This  means  If  you 
need  to  replace  a  bad  Interface  card,  ihey'11 
have  you  ship  back  ihe  computer  for 
them  to  repair.  That  costs  ihem  less 
than  sending  a  $100  an  hour  techni- 
cian from  a  company  they  have  on 
retainer  that  doesn't  even  have  a 
branch  in  Chattanooga.  Fact  is,  mall- 
order's  on-site  service  is  a  gimmick. 

Premium  priced  local  dealers  do 

provide  service,  but  watch  your 

wallei  If  you  expect  anything  more  than  Just 

dropping  your  machine  off  at  their  store. 

The  lowest  cost  service  in  town  Is  $64  an 

hour,  and  that's  to  their  own  PC  customers. 


a  few  tips  for  PC  buyers. 


Which  lo  choose?  Tough  call — one  we'd 
rather  you  not  have  to  make.  Advanced 
Information  Systems  has  a  complete  selection 
of  PC  compatibles  at  mall-order  prices,  with 
local  on-site  service.  Buy  a  machine  from  us, 
and  you're  buying  leading-edge  technology, 
guaranteed  compadblity,  years  of  experience, 
and  personal  'Sve  sel  il  up  on  your  desk" 

The  catch?  There  Isn't  one.  We  keep  our 
costs  rock-bottom  by  maintaining  low  over- 
head, keeping  advertising  to  a  minimum,  and 
not  forcing  you  Into  "free  extras."  We  won't 
recommend  expensive  keyboards  with  keys 
you'll  never  use,  or  push  over-hyped  software 
you'll  never  need. 

We  challenge  you  lo  beat  this  offer.  If  you 
can't  beat  it,  give  us  a  call,  and  we'll  match 
you  with  a  system  that  will  ail  all  your  needs. 
If  you  can  beat  it,  call  us  anyway,  because  we'd 
like  to  hear  about  our  competition.  So  far  we 
lust  can't  find  any.

ihe  story,  my  heart  broke.  I  was

of  filled  water.  Obviously  he  was  on 
his  way  home  from  getting  water. 
Sherbella  then  told  me  that  the  seven- 
year-old  boy  takes  care  of  the  same 
two  year  old  boy  and  the  four  year 
old  boy  beside  him.  Daily  they  bring 
theirempty  bowls  tomy  friends  house 
and  she  feeds  them  rice.  They  live 
alone  most  of  the  time  while  the 
mother  is  off  who  knows  where  and 
is  presently  pregnant  with  her  fif- 


teenth child.  God,  how  can  this  be-

a  loaf  of  bread  and  I  didn '  t  even  think 
twice  about  my  two  large  slices  with 
raspberry  jam-probably  a  luxury  to 
most  people  here.  Jam  is  so  expen- 
sive here.  Tonight  I  write  to  you  with 
asadheart.  I  will  never  sit  down  and 
eat  again  without  thinking  of  the  sad 
children  just  down  the  street-all  of 
them  malnourished,  but  worse  moth-

night and  I  thank  God  for  my  mother 
and  father  who  love  me  and  care  for 
me  even  though  I  am  many  miles 
away.  God  is  so  good.  Lei  us  not  be 
selfish  and  help  us  to  share  with 
others  the  things  that  you  have  given 
to  us.  And,  don'tforget  to  thank  God 
for  your  bread  and  jam  today. 

Many  prayers,

The  SCSA  Senate  annulled  the  re- 
sults of  Tuesday's  Primary  Election. 
The  Senate  met  on  Wednesday, 
February  10,  and  top  of  the  agenda 
was  the  result  of  theTuesday  pri- 
mary election.  Based  upon  observa- 
tion, an  emergency  meeting  of  the 
Ethics  Committee  was  called. 

According  to  committee  chairman 
MattWhitaker,  complaints  had  been 
made  that  the  ballot  boxes  were  un- 
locked and  the  lids  were  open,  which 
provided  opportunity  for  a  tamper- 
ing of  ballots.  The  vote  could  have 
been  altered  for  the  following  rea- 
sons: ballot  removal,  changing  of 
ballot  votes  without  authorization, 
lost  ballots,  and  lack  of  explanation 
on  how  to  vote.  "As  a  result,  there 
were  a  significant  number  of  votes 
that  were  thrown  out  that  could  have 
changed  the  final  outcome,"  said 
Whitaker. 

The  end  result  of  the  Senate  meet- 
ing were  two  fold: 

1,  The  Primary  Election  was  re- 
scheduled to  be  held  after  the  Press 
Conference  on  Thursday,  February 
11,  beginning  at  lp.m.  andendingat 
1 1  p.m.  The  election  will  continue 
on  Friday,  February  12,  at  8  a.m.  and 
the  election  will  officially  close  at 

2.  The  official  results  of  the  Primary 
Election  will  be  posted  before  sun- 
down on  Friday,  February  12. 

The  Senate  encourages  everyone 
to  do  their  part  as  members  of  the 
student  body  at  Southern  College 
and  vote  in  the  Primary  Elections 
held  today  and  tomorrow.  The  Elec- 
tions Committee  offers  a  formal 
apology  for  any  inconveniences  on 
the  candidates  behalf.  "1  hope  that 
the  results  of  the  rescheduled  primary 
accurately  reflect  the  choice  of  the 
student  body,"  said  Calvin  Simmons, 
Elections  Committee  Chairman.

All-American 

James  Dittes,  Accent  Editor 


The  greatest  thing  I  gained  dur- 
ing my  year  at  Newbold  College  in 
England  was  a  friend  named  Gunmen 

Ironically,  the  first  conversation 
Gunlher  and  I  had  was  about  base- 
ball. My  favorite  team,  the  Cincin- 
nati Reds,  were  about  to  dismiss  the 
Oakland  A's  in  a  four-game  World 
Series  sweep,  and  Gunther,  an  A's 
fan,  offered  me  a  European 's  view  of 
why  Oakland  was  such  a  strong  team. 
(Europeans  never  knew  much  about 
great  baseball  teams — neither  did  At- 
lanta Braves  fans.) 

But  Gunther  and  I  had  more  in 
common  than  a  love  for  baseball. 
Gunther  was  German.  So  was  I  (or 
so  I  thought). 

When  I  told  Gunther  I  was  Ger- 
man too,  he  laughed. 

"You're  not  German,"  he  said. 

"Not  full-blooded,"  I  replied, 
"But  my  grandfather  was  a  full- 
blooded  German,  bom  in  Brooklyn. 
N.Y.,  to  German  immigrants."  That 
alone  made  me  at  least  one-fourth  of 
a  German. 

Gunther  snickered.  "You're  still

itlen,  bat  Accent  lives  and  dies  by 
pictures  and  Rick  Mann,  Accent's 
Photo  Editor  has  brought  it  to  life  in 
every  issue  so  far. 

Rick,  who  calls  himself  a 
first-year"  senior— he  cIkmil'oI  Ins 
imjor  this  year  to  English— has  been 
taking  pictures  for  Accent  for  quite 
some  time.  He  worked  as  a  photog- 
rapher his  sophomore  year.  This 
year  as  Photo  Editor,  he  has  been 
thrown  into  a  routine  that  includes 
late  nights  in  the  photo  lab  and  last- 
minute  photo  assignments. 

Rick's  favorite  kinds  of  pho- 
tos are  "portraits  of  people  doing 
what  they  do,"  he  says.  "It's  hard 
and  kind  of  challenging  to  meet 
someone  and  show  through  a  pic- 
lure  who  [he]  is." 

One  challenge  Rick  remem- 
bers was  taking  pictures  at  a  George 
Bush  rally  in  Chattanooga  last  fall. 
"I  went  to  a  Republican  rally  with  a 
Socialist  editor,"  remembers  Rick., 
"It  changed  my  view  of  politics  (the 
rally-not  the  editor).  The  president 
isjustaman.  He  has  to  pull  his  pants 
up.    He  forgets  his  jacket  on  the 


not  German,"  he  said.  "Howcanyou 
be  German  when  you're  so  Ameri- 
can?" 

I  was  getting  mad.  The  Dittes 
name— no  matter  how  mangled  and 
mispronounced  here  in  America — is 
a  proud  German  name  that  has  been 
traced  back  to  1570. 

Only  later,  after  becoming  fast 
friends  with  Gunther,  rooming  with 
him,  and  spending  a  weekend  at  his 
house  in  Nuremburg,  Germany, 
would  I  find  out  that  I  really  wasn't 
German  at  all.  I  could  hardly  speak 
the  language;  I  didn't  dress  like  a 
German;  I  couldn't  even  eat  like  one. 
1  wasn't  even  one-fourth  of  a  Ger- 
man. I  was  all  American. 

The  great  melting  pot  that  was 
once  America  has  been  stuck  on  sim- 
mer for  about  50  years  now.  And  in 
the  process  America  finds  itself  in  a 
tremendous  identity  crisis. 

Just  look  around  and  try  to  find 
an  American.  You'll  find  Hispanic- 
Americans,  Asian- Americans,  Na- 
tive Americans,  Redneck  Americans, 
even  fruitbaskets  like  myself — a 


German-Norwegian-English-Irish 
American,  but  no  Ail-Americans 
outside  of  inter-collegiate  sports.  The 
identity  crisis  has  grown  to  such  a 
problem  that  several  years  ago,  black 
Americans — who  had  never  been 
included  in  the  great  "melting  pot"  of 
the  early  nineteen  hundreds — offi- 
cially asked  to  be  called  African 
Americans--in  one  way  celebrate 
their  father  culture,  but  in  another 
way,  an  acknowledgement  of  in  in- 
ter-racial identity  crisis  in  America. 

So  what  are  we  to  do?  (Future 
SCSA  president,  Dave  Beckworth, 
has  told  me  not  to  stir  up  trouble  in 
my  editorials  unless  I  prescribe  solu- 
tions.) First  we  need  to  look  at  our- 
selves as  Americans — Ail-Ameri- 
cans. Only  when  we  can  see  our- 
selves as  Americans  without  the  pre- 
fixes of  Hispanic,  White,  Asian  or 
German,  can  we  see  others  of  differ- 
ent races  as  really  sharing  the  same 
nationality. 

The  American  identity  crisis  has 
gripped  all  races — even  though  these 
races  have  shared  the  same  national- 


ity for  quite  some  time.  The  only  I 
way  to  end  the  crisis  is  to  begin  with  I 
a  dream.  What  is  an  American?  | 
Take  a  look  at  yourself-unless  y 
are  one  of  over  a  hundred  intema-l 
tional  students,  and  then  just  look  at  I 
someone  else-you'll  find  that  nisi 
language  and  culture  are  very  similarl 
to  all  the  rest  of  us. 

Martin  Luther  King's  great  quest  I 
for  racial  equality  began  withadream,  f 
and  I  find  it  hard  to  believe  that  this  | 
dream  could  be  limited  to  oner 
was  agreater  vision  that  searched  for  I 
a  common  identityfor  all  Americans  I 
to  share.  And  if  any  one  country  on  I 
earth  can  find  iteself,  America  c; 

How  do  we  get  the  great  "melt- 
ing pot"  heated  up  again?  Let's 
begin  by  looking  at  ourselves  as  a 
nation  that  is  all  races,  all  languages, 
all  cultures,  yet  still  All  American. 


platform.  Bush  was  just  an  ordi- 
nary guy." 

Not  everything  at  the  Bush 
rally  was  sobering.  Rick  enjoyed 
"getting  a  chance  to  do  what  the 
professionals  do  and  matching  my 
work  up  with  what  they  printed  in 
the  Chattanooga  papers.  I  think  it 
matched  up  pretty  well." 

Rick's  work  has  more  than 
matched  up  this  year.  After  a  sopho- 
more stint  and  this  year's  post  on  the 
Accent  staff.  Rumor  has  it  he'll  be 
asked  to  stay  on  Accent  for  another 
year  too.  And  who  knows.  This 
first-year  senior  may  be  one  Mann 
who  could  make  a  career  of  it.  ~Jd.

Where  in  the  world 
are  former  Physics 
students? 

|      \    X  By  Sara  Fox 


Opportunity  only 
knocks  once 


For  people  who  have  a  class  in  the 
lower  level  of  Daniell's  Hall,  they 
have  seen  the  colorful  bulletin  board 
at  the  foot  of  the  stairs.  What  is  it  for? 
Why  is  it  there? 

The  bulletin  board  isamap  of  the 
UnilcdStaies  with  colored  pins  show- 
ing where  each  physics  graduate  is 
living  now.  It  was  constructed  by 
Dr.  Hcfferlin,  the  chairman  of  the 
Physics  department. 

Even  though  there  arc  almost  100 
pins  on  the  board.  Dr.  Hefferlin  says 
that  he  corresponds  with  all  of  them 
by  notes,  telephone  calls,  and  elec- 
tronic mail  at  least  once  a  year.  "1 
enjoy  talking  with  them,"  said 
Hefferlin.  "they  arc  kind  of  like  my 
kids."  Hefferlincorresponds  with  the 
gradualesforotherreasons.too.  "We 
(the  Physics  Department)  want  to 
know  if  we  are  preparing  them  for 
their  careers,  we  want  to  learn  from 
them  what  else  we  should  do,  and  we 
want  to  urge  them  to  help  us  find 


prospective  students." 

After  37  years  on  the  Southern 
staff,  Hefferlin  has  seen  many  phys- 
ics majors  graduate.  Scott  Puckett, 
who  graduated  in  '92,  is  taking  phys- 
ics in  graduate  school  to  become  a 
surface  physicist.  Orville  Bignall, 
who  graduated  in  '86,  has  recently 
joined  the  staff  at  Southern  and  is 
leaching  physics,  Dr.  Richert,  an- 
other Hefferlin  student,  is  teaching 
matheniatics  at  Southern. 

Dr.  Roger  Hall,  who  graduated 
with  a  physic  degree  in  '67,  was  a 
student  of  Hefferlin's.  "Hefferlin 
was  the  most  outstanding  teacher  1 
had,"  said  Hall.  After  graduating 
from  Southern,  Hall  went  on  to  get  a 
degree  in  Dentistry.  "Southern's 
physics  department  has  the  stability 
and  excellence  few  colleges  have 
ever  had.  More  people  should  take 
physics.  Although  it  has  the  reputa- 
tion for  being  difficult,  a  lot  of  mod- 
em technology  has  come  from  phys» 
ics.  If  more  people  would  just  take 
one  physics  class,  it  would  add  en- 
joyment to  life  because  they  can  un- 
derstand things  a  little  better." 


Opportunities  '93,  a  liberal  arts  ca- 
reer and  graduate  studies  fair,  is 
scheduled  for  Thursday,  February 
18,  at  the  Chattanooga  Convention 
and  Trade  Center.

and  Accident  Insurance  Company, 
Life  Care  Centers  of  America,  the 
Hamilton  County  Department  of 
Education,  and  Vanderbilt 
University's  School  of  Nursing.  In 
addition,  workshops  and  group  in- 
formation sessions  will  be  offered 
during  the  fair.

said  Peg  Bennett,  library  director. 

This  service  will  give  students 
more  places  where  they  can  begin 
research  other  than  the  library. 

All  of  the  catalogs  and  informa- 
tion databases  on  the  library  comput- 
ers arc  now  available  on  a  campus- 
widecommunicationsnetwork.  "It's 
just  a  matter  of  a  department  decid-

then  coming  to  talk  to  us  about  it," 
said  John  A.  Beckett,  director  of 
Computer  Information  Systems  Ser- 
ine actual  connection  utilizes  a 
new  electronic  device  that  uses  ex- 
isting telephone  I  ines  to  transmit  data. 
This  alleviated  the  problem  of  dig- 
ging and  running  new  wires,  said 
Beckett.  "The  rewiring  was  avoided 
because  of  the  high  quality  phone 
lines  currently  in  use,"  said  Burdick.

McKce  Library  CD-ROM  databases 
are  now  available  for  use  in  Brock

Brock  Hall  was  one  of  the  first 
buildings  on  campus  to  take  advan- 
tage of  this  service.  "The  third  floor 
computer  lab  next  to  the  Business 
Administration  offices  has  been  con- 
nected to  the  services  since  Christ- 
mas," said  Rich  Burdick.  The  ser- 
vice is  also  connected  to  the  offices 
of  Business  Administration,  History, 
and  English  departments. 

This  service  will  soon  enable 
students  to  access  the  library's  CD- 
ROM  files  from  several  locations 
around  campus.  Daniels  Hall  will 
probably  be  the  next  building  con- 
nected to  the  service,  said  Burdick. 
Another  place  soon  to  be  connected 
is  the  computer  lab  downstairs  from

Black  History  Week: 

A  celebration  of  history  a  celebration  of  culture 


tKT  seeks  harmony 
BHW  activities 


By  Sabine  Vatel  !  i 

Kappu  Tau  (Be  Kind  To  One 
lother)  Club  is  sponsoring  the 
lack  History  Week  at  Southern. 

The  week's  emphasis  will  be 
jttemed  after  the  nation's  black 

Sistory  Month  which  honors  Blacks 
hose  name  and  contributions  aren'  t 
■cognized  as  much  as  their  white 
lunterparts  in  the  mainstream  of 
education. 
BKT-a  black  student  association 
Id  one  of  the  first  cultural  clubs  on 
le  campus-hopes  to  "squeeze  in"  as 
fiuch  black  history  as  it  can  and 
reak  down  misconceptions  between 
icraces.  The  club  has  gone  through 
any  changes  in  leadership  in  addi- 
m  to  being  part  of  the  CARE  min- 
tries  for  the  first  time  this  year, 
iary  Collins,  the  campus  ministries 
ctor,  feels  that  the  role  of  an  SDA 
»l  is  to  "go  out  there  and  finish 
[God's]  work".   In  order  to  ac- 
iplish  this,  people  need  to  under- 
lain] each  other  and  be  unified, 
■ollins  also  said:    "In  a  world  of 
lie  and  racial  tension,  we  need 
ty.    BKT  is  a  vehicle  for  that 

BKT's  president,  Trade  John- 
added  that  it  is  a  duty  for  a  black 
erson  to  open  people's  eyes  to  the 
ilture  that  also  makes  up 
feerica.  Some  people  say  there 
toald  be  a  'white  history  month' 
«j  white  Americans  are  not  the  ones 
sing  ignored." 

Heilange  Celamy,  a  psychology 

Mem,  said:  "They  [history  books] 

the  idea  that  blacks  only  helped 


blacks  in  history  instead  of  a  whole 

Everton  Collins,  BKT's  VP,  re- 
marked that  just  as  it  is  everyone's 
duty  to  learn  about  the  European 
culture,  it  is  equally  necessary  to 
become  familiar  with  all  peoples  who 
shape  the  U.S.  today.  "The  spice  of 
life  is  variety,"  he  insisted. 

Dean  Lydia  Rose,  one  of  the 
club's  sponsors,  chose  the  theme  for 
the  week  of  February  15  to  20:  One 
God,  one  love,  one  people,  one 
heaven. 

Johnson  outlined  some  of  the 
week's  programs.  For  Thursday's 
assembly,  BKT  members  and  the 
BKT  Ensemble  will  perform  during 
Nevillon  Meadows'  multi-mediapre- 
sentation.  On  Saturday,  Walter 
Artees  of  the  Breath  of  Life  minis- 
tries will  speak  during  divine  service 
at  the  Collegedale  Church.

•  If  they  want  to  be  treated  equally  so  badly,  they  -.tumid  get  nothing

•  I  think  it  has  its  place  but  NOT  a  whole  week  of  honor!  That  causes 
more  problem  than  it  cures. 

•  It's  not  worth  the  printer's  ink  on  the  calendar.

Some  Battles  Must  Be  Fought 


I  am  writing  in  response  to  your  editorial  published  in  the  last  edition  of 
Accent,  28  Jan.  1993.  In  il  you  strongly  urged  that  Christians  should  learn  to 
be  more  peace  loving  and  should  find  alternate  solutions  to  war  at  all  cost. 
This  is  very  admirable  and  your  article  was  a  thoughtful  insight  that  urges 
us  all  to  take  a  closer  look  at  ourselves.  However,  I  would  like  to  pose  a 
question. 

Awhile  back  I  was  watching  the  news  as  the  broadcaster  announced  that 
a  woman  in  New  York  had  been  raped.  So,  women  get  raped  in  New  York 
all  the  time  and  do  not  make  the  news,  but  this  woman  was  raped  in  broad 
daylight,  on  a  sidewalk,  and  on  a  busy  street  with  lots  of  people  watching. 
Not  one  person  helped  her  even  though  she  was  screaming  for  help. 

Now,  the  question  is,  were  there  any  "Christians"  in  the  group?  If  there 
were,  should  the  Christian  be  excused  from  helping  the  victim  because  he 
might  have  to  take  violent  action  against  the  rapist,  possibly  injuring  or  even 
killing  him?  Is  this  really  a  hard  question? 

Likewise,  should  a  Christian  country  like  the  United  States  of  America 
have  stood  idly  by  and  watched  as  Kuwait  got  "raped"  by  Iraq?  Is  war  ever 
necessary? 

Sean  Pitman 
Unfortunately  your  rape  analogy  is  incorrect.  The  U.S.  was  hardly  an 
innocent  bystander  when  K  await  was  "raped  "  //  had  been  funding  Iraq's 
war  machine  both  legally  and  illegally  iwth  the  full  knowledge  thatlraqwas 
an  aggressive  and  terrorist  nation.  While  no  one ,  otdd  he  heartless  enough 
to  say  such  "rape"  should  be  tolerated,  neither  can  we  justify  defending  a 
rape  which  could  have  been  prevented 

Election  Coverage  was  Flawed 

Sir: 

Recently  I  came  across  the  Accent's  "Pre-election  edition"  of  October 
29,1992.  You  should  becommendedforyourimplicit  stand  that  the  political 
process  is  a  legitimate  concern,  even  for  Adventists.  Politics  is — when 
conducted  properly — to  society  what  sanctification  is  to  a  Christian  :  a 
continual  striving  for  greater  realization  of  our  established  moral  ideals. 
Thus  there  should  be  no  intrinsic  conflict  between  religion  and  politics.  For 
instance,  any  Christian  should  have  been  proud  to  have  hadapart  in  enacting 
such  fundamentally  moral  legislation  as  the  Civil  Rights  Bill  of  1964  and  the 
Voting  Rights  Act  of  1965.  (Incidentally,  it  was  fortunate  for  the  nation  that 
it  had  politicians  of  the  right  mettle  at  the  tune  since  possibly  a  majority  of 
Christians  opposed  both  legislative  initiatives.  SMC  was  desegregated  by 
politicians,  not  the  saints.)  Unfortunately,  this  moral  dimension  was 
missing  in  the  Accent's  election  issue.  The  coverage  was  dominated  by 
political  banter  and  rhetoric  and  republicans  whining  about  the  lowest  tax 
rates  in  the  western  world.  Where  was  the  Christian  perspective?  Where 
was  the  concern  for  the  less  fortunate,  the  poor,  the  downcast  and  the 
outcast?  If  politics  simply  becomes  a  cultivation  of  egotistical  desires  I 
agree  with  the  traditionalists:   stay  away  from  it!

Fire  alarms  are  crying  wol 

Guest  Editorial  by  Alicia  Goree 


Fire  drills  are  a  fact  of  life.  Fire  safety  laws  require  the  drills 
school  children  aware  of  standard  fire  procedures.  Every  grade  school  kid  J 
looks  forward  to  them  as  an  extra  recess,  or  a  way  out  of  class.  Howevet 
the  collegiate  level,  where  every  minute  is  a  valuable  part  of  the  day,  thel 
students  dread  the  torturous  screech  of  the  alarm.  Like  the  boy  who  criedl 
wolf,  the  fire  alarm  system  on  campus,  especially  in  Thatcher  hall,  isl 
disruptive  and  dangerous  to  the  lives  of  the  residents. 

False  alarms  are  disruptive  and  annoying.  When  the  little  shepherd  boyi 
jokingly  cried  wolf  to  the  townspeople,  the  citizens  were  certainly  partici-J 
pating  in  other  important  activities.  Whatever  it  was,  though,  they  had  tc 
stop  to  save  the  little  boy  from  the  wolves.  Similarly,  the  women  of  Thatcheif 
Hall  and  other  Southern  College  students  must  cease  bathing,  sleeping,  i 
studying  every  lime  the  fire  alarm  shrieks.  The  first  alarm  of  the  cum 
school  year  called  me,  dripping,  from  an  early  morning  shower.  A  coupl^ 
of  weeks  later,  the  second  alarm  cried  out  to  the  sleeping  residents  at 
o'clock  one  cold.  Sabbath  morning.  Disoriented  and  confused,  I  fell  off  oj 
my  bed,  the  top  bunk,  and  stumbled  about  my  room  like  a  chicken  v 
head  cut  off.  I  have  since  been  driven  from  my  bathing,  studying,  sleepina 
and  class  nine  or  ten  limes.  Almost  ail  of  those  times  were  false  alarms  ol 
malfunctions  in  the  system.  Thus  far,  all  the  students  have  successfully! 
escaped  the  wrath  of  the  non-existent  blazes. 

Worse,  though,  than  the  annoyance  and  the  disruptions,  is  the  growma 
complacency  toward  the  shrill  alarms.  After  responding  to  an  outrageoul 
number  of  false  cries  for  help,  the  generous  volunteers  eventually  stopped 
responding  to  the  sheep  herder.  When  dorm  residents  hear  an  alarm,  they  nr 
longer  rush  as  if  the  building  were  engulfed  in  flames;  instead  each  girl  iake| 
her  time,  slowly  preparing  and  moseying  toward  the  fire  doors.  Someur 
girls  wait  and  fix  a  sandwich  or  microwave  abag  of  popcorn  before  they  e 
I  heard  one  girl  say  that  she  went  back  into  the  building  to  get  her  camera] 
She  didn't  want  to  miss  a  Kodak  moment  in  case,  by  some  miracle,  ThatcheJ 
Hall  really  were  going  to  go  up  in  smoke.  I,  too,  felt  sure  that  there  v, 

than  enough  time  to  get  dressed,  grab  a  snack,  and  phoi 

grabbing  a  jacket  and  escaping  into  the  great  outdoors.  Eventually.  m°sto  | 
the  dorm  residents  will  grow  callous  to  the  screaming  fire  alarms.  Then,  c 
the  event  of  a  genuine  fire,  their  lives  may  all  be  in  grave  danger. 

The  little  boy  who  cried  wolf  tested  his  friends  one  too  many  t 
Because  of  the  boy's  uncalled-for  pranks,  many  sheep  in  his  flock  fell  p^| 
to  the  wolves.  I  believe  that  the  many  fire  alarms  arc  uncalled  for  and  eve  I 
dangerous  to  the  lives  of  the  hundredsof  residents;  we  learned  how  to  get  ou  ■ 

of  burning  buildings  in  elementary  school.  Although  the  shepherd  en   ■

I  Campus  reaches  out 
to  their  own 


|  by  Michelle  Lashier 

The  Student  Ministerial  Asso- 
ciation has  given  birth  to  a  new  orga- 
zation  called  Reach  Ministry. 

Reach  Ministry  is  an  on-campus 
oup  visitation  program  designed 
■o  "take  care  of  our  own,"  said  Paul 
pampoli,aseniorreIigionmajorwho 
s  leading  out  in  the  organization's 
formation. 

Reach  Ministry  is  students  reach- 
e  out  to  other  students  to  help  each 
fcther.  Campolisaid  "While at South- 
i ,  we're  ripped  out  of  our  church 
nily  and  support  group.    [Reach 
nistrv)  offers  Christian  friendship 
1  encouragement." 
Students  interested  in  participat- 
ing sign  up  in  a  two-person  which  is 
lissigned  12  other  students  to  visit, 
n  will  visit  each  of  the  12 
[students  once  a  month. 

According  to  Campoli,  the  key 
lof  Reach  is  "trying  to  be  a  friend." 
|The  teams  want  to  be  a  source  of 
I  encouragement  to  the  people  they 


visit.    "Our  goal 
body."  he  said. 

Campoli  stressed  the  fact  that  all 
conversations  would  be  "strictly  con- 
fidential." CARE,  Campus  Minis- 
tries, and  the  Chaplain's  Office  have 
offered  their  services  to  Reach  in 
case  any  students  express  interest  to 
the  teams  in  outside  help  or  counsel- 
ing. 

The  program  is  "Not  very  time 
intensive,"  Campoli  said.  He  esti- 
mates the  1 2  visits  will  take  a  total  of 
three  or  four  hours  a  month.  Since 
these  visits  are  scheduled  by  those 
involved,  they  can  be  done  at  times 
convenient  for  the  team  and  the  per- 
son being  visited. 

Students  who  signed  up  last  week 
attended  a  one  hour  training  session 
to  learn  how  to  listen  and  communi- 
cate effectively. 

Campoli  said  approximately  80 
people  have  signed  up  to  participate 
in  Reach.  He  would  like  to  see  over 
200  people  join  as  team  members. 


Travis  Patterson  hopes  to  share  the  goo( 
This  would  allow  for  at  least  100 
teams  which  could  effectively  visit 
the  entire  student  body. 

Team  members,  however,  will 
not  be  left  alone  or  unsupported  in 
their  ministry.  Campoli  said  twelve 
group  leaders  who  have  experience 
in  interpersonal  ministry  will  serve 
as  a  source  of  support  and  informa- 
tion for  the  team  members. 

So  far,  most  the  people  who  have 
signed  up  are  religion  majors,  but  the 
program  is  open  to  anyone.

Text  of  the  Week - 

Dr.  Derek  Morris 

In  recent  months  I  have  witnessed  main  i  mrjcles  of  physcial,  emotional  and 
spiritual  healing,  and  the  passage  in  James  5:14-17  means  more  to  me  every 
day!  The  thrilling  truih  contained  in  this  text  is  that  healing  in  faith  willmake 
the  sick  person  well;  the  Lord  will  raise  him  up.  If  He  has  committed  sins, 
he  will  be  forgiven."  There  is  nothing  tentative  about  this  Word  from  the 
Lord.    It  doesn't  say  it  might  happen,  or  it  could  happen  -  it  says  it  will 

We  must  conclude  then,  that,  in  response  to  the  prayer  of  faith.  God  will 
give  the  healing  that  He  ordains,  ilui  which  is  m  h.imiom  with  His  will  and 
for  our  ultimate  good.  It  may  not  always  be  the  healing  that  we  expect,  but 
it  will  be  the  healing  thai  God  knows  is  Best!  And  so  we  should  ask  for 
discernment  to  notice  the  marvelous  work  that  H  e  has  done.  A  person  may 
be  raised  up  immediately,  over  time,  or  not  unti  I  the  blessed  resurrection,  but 
His  promise  is  sure.  He  will  raise  you  up!  A  person  who  is  physically  or 
emotionally  sick  maybe  restored  lo  health  immediately,  overtime,  or  may 
be  healed  in  spirit  and  given  strength  and  courage  to  bear  the  adversity  in 
such  a  way  that  will  bring  honor  and  glory  to  God.  This  text  also  tells  us  that 
when  we  come  in  faith  spiritual  healing  is  guaranteed.  The  Word  of  God 
says,  "If  he  has  sinned,  he  will  be  forgiven." 

In  reference  to  this  sacred  service  of  annointing,  Ellen  White  writes  "the 
divine  Healer  is  present  in  the  sick-room;  He  hears  every  word  of  the  prayers 
offered  to  Him  in  the  simplicity  of  true  faith.  His  disciples  today  are  lo  pray 
for  the  sick,  as  verily  as  did  the  disciples  of  old.  Andthere  will  be  recoveries; 
'for  the  prayer  of  faith  shall  save  the  sick.'"1  What  a  wonderful  promise! 
And  so  I  ask  you  the  question  that  confronted  me  some  months  ago:  "why 
is  it  that  men  are  so  unwilling  to  trust  Him  who  created  man,  and  who  can, 
by  a  touch,  a  word,  a  look,  heal  all  manner  of  disease!  Who  is  more  worthy 
of  our  confidence  than  the  One  who  has  made  so  great  a  sacrifice  for  our 
redemption?  Our  Lord  has  given  us  definite  instruction,  through  the  apostle 
James,  as  to  our  duty  in  case  of  sickness.  When  a  human  help  fails.  God  will

those  mecharacteristics  of  a  successful  S.A., 
but  of  a  student  body  that  desires  a  year  of 
promise.  And  the  only  means  to  this  end  is 
careful  selection  of  S.A.  officers. 

My  fellow  constituents,  we  arc  that 
student  body  and  it  is  our  responsibility  to 
ensure  our  SA.  is  assigned  qualified  and 
driven  officers.  I,  David  Bcckworth  in  pur- 
suit of  the  S.A.  Presidency,  submit  to  you 
that  I  am  qualified  and  driven,  and  share 
these  same  objectives  of  you  the  student 

My  qualification  is  simply  experience. 
I've  been  a  S.A.  Senator  and  more  recently 
the  S.A.  Parliamentarian.  Working  in  both 
the  legislative  and  executive  branch  as  pro- 
vided the  S.A.;  the  working  relationships 
between  the  executive  S.A.  and  the  college 
administration.  Understanding  this  corpo- 
rate culture  is  the  key  factor  in  an  efficiently 
run  S.A. 

Aside,  from  S.A.,  one  of  my  biggest 
assets  is  that  I  have  been  one  of  you,  a 
student  at  Southern  College  for  three  years. 
These  years  of  experience  have  made  mc 
realize  the  diverse  spiritual,  social,  and  aca-

Matthew  Whitaker- 
Executive  V.P. 

You  Are  The  Voice.  How?  you  might  ask. 
Simple.  You  as  students  have  privilege  and 
responsibility  to  elect  executive  officers  as 
senators  to  represent  you  in  the  Southern 
College  Student  Association.  AsExecutivc 
Vice  President  I  would  consider  it  a  privi- 
lege to  carry  your  voice  to  [he  many  differ- 
ent aspects  of  this  college. 

During  my  past  two  years  at  Southern  I 
have  been  able  to  participate  in  the  S.A.  in 
more  than  one  way.  Last  year,  as  a  fellow 
student ,  I  was  able  to  observe  and  take  pan 
in  the  many  activities  mat  the  SA  presented 
on  this  campus.  This  year,  as  a  senator,  I 
have  been  fortunate  to  work  closely  with  the 
current  S  A.  officers,  as  well  as  serve  in  the 
senate  as  an  active  representative  for  you.

well  as  the  faculty,  on  many 
different  issues.  1  believe  my  active  role  on 
these  committees,  as  well  as  working  with 
the  rest  of  the  S.A.  has  given  me  the  experi- 
ence needed  to  coordinate  a  Senate  that  is 
active  and  one  thai  will  carry  your  voice. 

My  goals  for  next  year  arc  high,  yet 
achievable.  I  believe  that  the  Senate  must 
lake  a  more  active  role  in  the  students  lives 
and  help  them  be  aware  of  what  is  happen- 
ing on  our  campus.  I  co-authored  a  bill  this 
school  year  that  would  require  each  Senator 
to  be  more  readily  available  to  each  of  you 
so  that  you  can  voice  your  concerns,  as  well 
as  vnur  sukieesLions  lo  the  Student  Associa- 
tion. I  plan  to  cany  this  further  next  year  in 
servingas  Chairman1  of  the  Senate.  We  must 
explore  new  possibilities  and  expand  the 
important  role  this  Student  Association  can 
play. 

Remember,  You  Are  the  Voice — the 
voice  in  elect  qualified  an  able  Student  As-

Matthew  Niemeyer- 
Executive  V.P. 

As  a  member  of  the  student  body  of 
Southern  College  you  will  soon  be  electing 
new  S.A.  officers  for  next  year.  This  is  an 
important  decision  that  will  significantly 
affect  your  life  at  Southern  College.  To 
make  a  well  informed  decision  there  are 
several  questions  you  must  ask, 
QUESTIONS'-  Why  should  I  vote  Matthew 
Niemeyer  for  S.A.  Executive  Vice  Presi- 
dent? What  are  his  qualifications?  What 
new  ideas  does  he  have  for  Southern  next 
year?  And  finally,  the  often  unasked  ques- 
tion, why  is  he  really  running  for  S.A.  Ex- 
ecutive V  J.?  This  is  specifically  designed 
to  help  you  answer  these  questions. 
ANSWERS-  Serving  as  S.A.  Vice  Pres.  at 
Forest  Lake  Academy  during  my  senior 

insight.  In  addition  to  this  I  have  learned 
much  while  serving  in  the  positions  of 
Freshman  Class  Pres..  Boys'  ClubPres.,and 
as  Head  RA  in  the  Forest  Lake  Academy 
men's  dorm.  Also,  I  have  gained  valuable 
knowledge  this  year  as  an  active  Senator  in 
precincttfl3hcrc  at  Southern  College.  Over 
the  last  semes  terasasena  tori  have  witnessed 
the  duties  of  our  present  Executive  Vice 
President  and  I  have  become  familiar  with 
Senate  Vice  President.  Why  do  I  want 
to  be  executive  V.  President  next  year? 
Because  I  want  to  make  the  change,  a  change 
that  will  lake  place  socially,  culturally,  and 
spiritually.  Hnw?  Socially,  because  of  my 
previous  experience,  I  will  be  able  to  assist 
not  only  with  hard  work  but  also  with  new 
and  fresh  ideas.  Culturally,  I  would  like  to 
see  a  stronger  promotion  of  speakers  and 
artists.  Spiritually,  through  the  promooon 
nf  speakers,  C.A.R.E.  Ministries  and  other 
similar  organizations,  I  would  like  lo  see  a 
moving  of  the  Holy  Spirit  on  our  campus. 
I  will  make  a  difference,  a  change,  thai 
through  your  help  will  impactpositivcly  this 
campus-socially,  culturally,  and  spiritually. 


I  realize  that  getting  a  good  educai 
and  studying  hard  is  a  priority,  but  sol 
being  a  well-rounded  and  socially  at 
person.  There  are  four  dimen 
balanced  college  life:  spiritual,  intellect 
physical,  and  social-THE  FOURTH  D 
MENSION.  Creating  that  dimension  fori 
college  is  the  job  of  the  Social  Vice-Pi 
dent-a  job  that,  with  your  panic  ipation  an 
help,  I  can  fulfill . 

My  qualifications  for  l 
comes  from  hands-on  experience.  MySi 
nior  year  in  high-school  1  served  m 
Secretary  and  Girls'  Club  Music  Drrecirjl

Jacque 
Branson, 
Memories 

If  given  the  opportunity  to  as- 
le  the  position  of  Southern  Memo- 
s  editor,  my  goal  would  be  to  ac- 
irately  record  not  only  the  faces 
|d  events  of  the  1993-1994  aca- 
:  year,  but  also  to  capture  the 
liique  spirit  of  SC  students. 

1  am  qualified  for  this  position 
)r many  reasons.  To  begin  with,  I 
febeen  extensively  involved  with 
■■earbook  publications  for  the  past 
tr years.  I  edited  my  academy's 
Itarbook.  In  addition  to  yearbook 
pperien.ee.  my  English  major,  and 
Public  relations  minor  have  taught 
iety  of  journalism  techniques 
Including  graphic  design  and  layout. 
Wave  all,  I  am  willing  to  work  hard 
fed  devote  myself  to  the  success  of 
Eoulhere  Memories,  and  the  Student 


Avery 

McDougle, 

Social  V.  Pres* 

I,  Avery  McDougle,  believe  I 
hold  the  right  tools  to  successfully 
handle  the  office  of  student  associa- 
tion vice  president.  These  skills  are: 

1.  Proficiency  in  organization 

2.  Extensive  planning  experiences  of 
student-wide  events 

3.  Enjoyment  for 


The  main  goals  I  want  to  accom- 
plish are  very  simple: 

1.  Togeneratemoreschoolspirit 

2.  To  provide  better  communi- 
cations between  the  S.  A.  officers  and 
the  students 

3.  To  have  activities  geared  to- 
ward a  widervariety  of  student  tastes 
and  preferences. 

How  can  I  make  next  year's  so- 
cial activities  better?  Simply  by 
working  my  hardest  for  you.  I  want 


to  help  you  run  YOUR  S.A.,  Your 
Way.  Southern  College  students, 
this  is  your  student  association.  You 
hold  the  power  to  choose  your  lead- 
ers. You  decide  on  how  your  S.A. 
will  tum  out.  With  our  ideas  we  will 
take  SouthernColleges  social activi- 
ties boldly  where  no  school  has  gone 
before.  I  welcome  the  opportunity 
and  great  responsibility. 

Having  had  extensive  experience 
in  my  academy's  student  associa- 
tion, I  am  seasoned  for  the  task  ahead 
of  me.  I  have  held  the  office  of 
Spiritual  Vice-President,  Youth  to 
Youth  leader.  Class  Officer  and  nu- 
merous other  positions. 

The  Social  Vice-President  should 
be  the  spokesperson  for  all  members 
of  the  student  body.  He  represents 
their  voice  in  the  planning  and  ex- 
ecution of  all  social  events  and  ac- 
tivities. 

There  is  a  old  Chinese  proverb 
that  states,  "  The  longest  journey 
begins  with  the  first  step." 

We  have  a  long  way  to  go.  I 
won't  guarantee  you  specific  prom- 
ises, for  I  have  seen  so  many  guaran- 
tees fade  away  like  the  sunset.  But 
what  I  can  do  is  promise  you  that  if 
elected,  I  will  start  with  the  neces- 
sary small  steps.  Small  steps  in  my 
planning  ability,  ingenerating school 
morale,  and  in  opening  up  a  better 
communication  system  for  you. 
Small  steps  in  planning ;

I  have  become  well  acquainted

Due  to  these  experience,  I  hope  to

Andy  Nash, 
Accent  editor 

(A  few  of  you  have  asked  if  the 
story  I  told  last  week  about  my  friend 
Pong  was  real.  No,  it  was  not.  Sorry 
ii  I  mislead  you.) 

Though  I  Find  it  a  bit  unexciting  to 
run  against  no  one  for  Accent  Editor 
1993-94, 1  am  excited  about  the  op- 
portunity. 

As  a  journalism  (and  now  an 
English)  major,  I  have  contributed 
regularly  to  past  Accents  as  religion 
editor,  staff  writer,  "Thailand  corre- 
spondent," and  columnist,  f  have 
devoted  many  hours  to  this  paper — 
all  for  the  experience,  all  for  free-and 
now  1  feel  ready  for  something  more. 

My  goal  -  a  creative,  consistent, 
and  well-executed  college  newspa- 

The  above,  though,  depends  on  a 
well -organized  and  dedicated  staff. 
Let  me  know  if  you  are  interested  in 
contributing  as  an  editor,  writer,  typ- 
ist, artist,  or  photographer. 


Kimberly  Day, 
Joker  editor 

I,  Kimberly  Day,  wish  to  be 

elected  to  the  position  of  Joker  editor 
because  I  have  past  experience,  1  will 
try  to  make  change  where  needed, 
and  I  believe  in  the  importance  of  the 

In  order  for  me  to  run  for  Joker 
editor,  I  realize  I  must  have  some 
experience  in  a  similar  area.  I  be- 
lievelamqualifiedfomejob.  Ihave 
had  two  years  of  experience  working 
on  a  high  school  yearbook  (my  jun- 
ior year  I  was  assistant  editor  and  my 
senior  year  I  was  editor).  While  I 
worked  on  the  yearbook,  I  learned 


some  valuable  skills  that  could  eas- 
ily be  applied  to  the  Joker.  I  learned 
to  use  the  computer  well  and  there- 
fore know  such  programs  as 
WordPerfect5.0andPageMaker4.0. 
I  also  learned  layout  and  design  as 
well  as  how  to  work  with  photo- 
graphs. Because  of  my  past  experi- 
ence, I  believe  1  am  qualified. 

Secondly,  I  am  willing  to  change 
in  any  areas  that  need  changing.  The 
Joker  is  a  good  book  already,  but  as 
with  anything,  it  could  always  be 
better.  When  anyone  brings  me  a 
new  idea,  or  I  notice  something  I 
think  could  be  done  better,  I  will  not 
hesitate  todo  every  thing  inmy  power 
to  make  those  changes.  An  editor 
needs  to  be  open  to  new  suggestions 
and  I  believe  I  am. 

Lastly,  I  would  like  to  say  that  1 
belive  in  the  Joker  itself.  A  good 
Joker  is  a  positive  influence  on  the 
student  body.  If  mistakes  are  kept 
minimal  and  the  book  has  enough 
creativity  to  make  it  interesting, 
people  will  think  betterof  the  school. 
As  Joker  editor,  I  would  try  my  best 
to  make  the  book  better. 

For  the  above  listed  reasons,  I 
belive  I  am  qualified,  changeable, 
and  have  enough  interest  in  the  Joker 
to  do  well  as  the  editor.

Super  Bowl  Wrap-up 

Super  Fan  Chris  Stokes  reflects 
gleefully  on  the  Dallas  Cowboys' 
52-17  victory  over  Buffalo. 

YeeHaw!  How  'bout  ihem  Cowboys?  Yep,  the  Dallas  Cowboys  are  back 
on  top  ol"  the  football  world,  and  they  did  il  by  beating — no,  by  creamii 
no,  by  destroying — no.  by  just  kicking  the  Buffalo  Bills'  fannies  all 
Pasadena.  The  Boys  brought  the  trophy  home  "Big  D"  style.  And  "Big 
D"  doesn't  stand  for  "Big  Dallas",  it  stands  for  BIGTIME  DEFENSE! 

The  Cowboys  came  to  Pasadena  with  the  NFL's  #1  defense,  and  they 
left  in  the  same  fashion,  no  doubt  about  it. 

Going  in,  Dallas  knew  they  could  put  points  on  the  boards,  but  the 
question  was  how  the  Cowboys  would  slop  the  Bills*  high  octane  offe 
"How  did  they  do  it?"  I'll  give  twelve  reasons. 

1 )  Dallas  eliminated  Jim  Kelly,  thanks  to  Mr.  Ken  Norton,  Jr. 

2)  They  snuffed  out  Thurman  Thomas's  fire.  The  only  heat  here 
how  Thomas  went  down  in  flames. 

3)  They  stopped  the  Bills  inside  the  5-yard-line  twice. 

4)  Dallas  caused  a  turnover. 

5)  Yet  another  turnover  . . . 

6)  . . .  and  another . . . 

7-12)  You  guessed  it— more  turnovers. 

The  Bills  should  invest  in  some  stick'um.  The  game  was  dominated 
by  the  Cowboys  from  the  end  of  the  first  quarter  until  the  fat  lady  sang. 

I  really  feel  sorry  for  all  those  football  fans  out  there  who  tuned  in  to 
see  aclose  game.  The  most  excitement  they  had  all  night  was  the  Michael 
Jordan/Larry  Bird  Big  Mac  commercial.  Other  than  that,  this  game  could 
have  been  boring — unless  you  were  a  Bills  fan.  in  that  case  the  game 
tragic. 

But  for  myself  and  other  die-hard  Dallas  fans,  this  was  the  greatest 
game  I've  ever  seen  . . .  until  next  year's  Super  Bowl.

GOVERNMENT  IN  ACTION 

— In  a  recent  Canadian  govern- 
ment book  offering  lips  to  newly  arriv- 
ing immigrants,  authors  thought  it  nec- 
essary to  give  specific  advice  against 
being  late  to  school  or  work  and  against 
public  displays  of  affection,  breast- 
feeding, urination  and  defecation. 

— Pre-Christmas-week  paychecks 
were  delayed  fo  2.600  Postal  Service 
employees  in  the  Hampton  Roads.  Va., 
area.  The  checks  had  been  mailed  from 
the  Minneapolis  check-disbursing  fa- 
cility but  were  delayed  "somewhere  in 
Virginia," according  to  postal  ufncials. 
Because  of  the  delay,  employees  were 
unable  10  deposit  the  checks  before  the 
Christmas  holiday. 

COMPELLING  EXPLANATIONS 

— Eric  F.  Murillo,  charged  with 
shunting  his  fourth  wife  to  death  in 
Fayclteville.  N.C..  in  July,  said  it  was 
an  accident.  Murillo  received  proba- 
tion for  the  accidental  shooting  death 
of  his  first  wife  21  yearsago.  Wife  No. 
2  supposedly  committed  suicide.  Wife 
No.  3  divorced  Murillo  after  he  put  a 
loaded  .357  Magnum  in  her  mouth  and 
threatened  to  kill  her.  M  urillo  acknowl- 
edged llial  1  lie  circumstances  "look  ter- 
rible" bul  said  thai  he  was  just  unlucky. 


— In  November,  the  Vermont  Su- 
preme Court  ordered  to  trial  a  handi- 
cap-discrimination lawsuit  by  em- 
ployee Mary  Hodgdon  against  the 
Mount  Mansfield  resort,  the  resort, 
which  was  trying  to  improve  its  image 
in  1987  to  four-star  status,  fired 
Hodgdon  because  she  refused  to  wear 
her  false  teeth,  which  she  said  were 
painful.  Wrote  the  resort  management, 
"Employees  [are  J  evix-ctedtohave teeth 
and  wear  them  daily  to  work."

he  was  attempting  to  break  into  Sid's 
Liquors  in  Sioux  Falls.  S.D.,  in  June 
when  he  was  discovered  stuck  in  the 
store's  chimney.  Rather,  he  said,  he 
had  passed  out  on  the  roof  and,  being  a 
fitful  sleeper,  had  merely  rolled  into 
the  chimney.

other Mrs.  Richard  Usher  Jr.  (Evelyn 
Nelms,  whom  he  had  married  in  19XS) 
had  just  passed  away.  Wrote  Detective 


C.E.  Bolson  in  his  report,  "the  only

that  he  did  not  remember  marrying 
[Evelyn  Nelms]."

M ong  the  Promenade  ...  in  February 


I  noticed  that  Matt 
Niemeyer  has  managed  to  get  his 
huge  campaign  posters  (in  various 

colors)  strategically  placed  in  all  sorts 
of  places. 

I  also  did  my  monthly  survey  of 
the  SCSA  bulletin  board  down  by  the 
fountains.  There  were  two  posters 
up:  (1)  an  advertisement  for 


Queen  and  "everything."  OK. 

Haven't  made  any  comments  on 
what  people  are  wearing  on  this  cold 
afternoon — mostly  bungly,  puffy 
jackets  in  black,  purple,  and  teal.  But 
what's  this?  Here  comes  a  zany 
athlete  clad  in  shorts  and  a  T-shirt 
only.  He's  simply  tearing  down  the 
promenade.  Maybe  he's  just  emerged 
from  a  sauna  and  plans  to  roll  in  pine

gets  fully  dressed.  Well time's

Instead  of  counting  the  snow- 
flakes  of  February,  Southern  students 
are  counting  robins  and  daffodils. 

Only  three  weeks  after 
Puxatawney  Phil,  the  "official" 
American  groundhog,  saw  his 
shadow  and  declared  six  more  weeks 
of  winter  on  the  way,  temperatures 
have  soared,  pushing  70  degrees  lor 
the  third  weekend  in  a  row. 

"Spring  is  here!"  noted  Sharron 
Watson,  a  junior  business  adminis- 

With  snow  covering  the  rest  of 
the  nation,  the  Southeast  has  enjoyed 
temperatures  that  were  six  degrees 
above  normal  in  December  and  over 
eight  in  January.  February  will  cer- 
tainly improve  on  those  averages. 

Senior  Joe  Ellsworth  was  a  little 
more  cautious.  "Spring  is  on  the 
doorstep,"he  said, "but  it's  not  ready 
to  come  in  yet."  There  are  crocuses 
growing  on  Taylor  Circle  and  daffo- 
dils along  the  promenade.  "And 
miniskirts,"  added  senior  computer 
major  Ron  Miller. 

And  there  are  robins  too. 
"We've  had  a  lot  of  robins  mi- 
grating through,"  said  Southern's 
most  celebrated  bird  watcher,  Dr. 
E.O.  Grundset. 

Robins  aren't  the  only  signs  of 
spring  flying  through.  Grundset  spot- 
ted sandhill  cranes,  bluebirds,  cedar 
waxwings  and,  he  noted,  the  number 
of  ducks  floating  on  Lake 
Chickamauga  is  diminishing  as  they 
fly  north.  Maple  trees  and  willows 
are  also  in  bloom,  as  are  some  dande- 

But  birds  and  blooms  are  not 
concretesignsofspring.  "[Thetem- 
peratures]  may  even  out,"  said 
Grundset.  "It's  not  so  much  the 
temperature  but  the  increase  in  day- 
light hours  that  is  the  certain  sign  of 
spring." 

The  days  are  getting  longer,  and 
getting  hotter— just  in  time  forSpring 
Break.

jABigA-OKtoBKT 

|ly      James  Dittes,  Accent  Editor 


So  often  "Page  Two"  is  used  10 
criticize  local  or  national  trends,  but 
the  time  has  come  for  a  commenda- 
tion. In  my  three  years  here  at  South- 
ern, beginning  in  1989-90,  I  have 
seen  few  campus  organizations  make 
as  dramatic  and  positive  a  change  as 
Beta  Kappa  Tau  has  in  these  last  two 

This  past  Black  History  Week  at 
SC  was  the  high  point  of  a  year  that 
has  seen  a  remarkable  transformation 
of  BKT  from  a  small  culture  club  to  a 
campus-wide  organization  meeting 
more  needs  than  just  those  of  blacks. 

The  most  obvious  thing  1  remem- 
ber about  Black  History  Weeks  of 
recent  years  is  they  were  all  black- 
not  that  that  is  bad  of  course.  After51 
weeks  of  studying  American  history 
that  is  unashamedly  white,  it  is  al- 
ways refreshing  to  get  another  per- 
spective— especially  when  that  race's 
American  history  goes  back  almost 
as  far  as  anyone  else's  version.  Every 
night,  worship  was  held  by  a  black 
student  or  guest.  Assemblies,  from 
the  scripture  and  prayer  to  the  speaker 
were  all  black.  And  on  Friday  nights. 

About  Accent 

Even  before  last  week's  SCSA 
elections  made  it  official,  Andy 
Nash,  Accent  editor-elect,  was 
tabbed  as  the  editor-to-be. 

Finding  outexactly  when  he  was 
tabbed  is  hard  to  find.  Andy,  a 
junior  English/Journalism  major 
from  Orlando,  Florida,  has  been 
'orking  with  Accent  ever  since  his 
sophomore  year.  He  began  that 
year  as  part-time  reporter  and  reli- 
gion editor.  Last  year  Andy  was 
it's  foreign  correspondent,  re- 
porting regularly  from  Thailand  on 
his  li  le  there  as  a  student  missionary 
(his  columns  were  the  inspiration 
for  this  year's  feature,  "Letters 
Home,"  on  page  11  of  this  issue). 
And  upon  returning,  we  put  him  to 
work  as  a  feature  writer  and  colum- 
nist in  the  popular  monthly  "View 
from  the  Caboose". 

Feature  writing  for  Accent  has 
taken  Andy  many  places — all  the 
way  from  the  Tennessee  Aquarium 
to  Santa's  Knee  at  Hamilton  Place 
Mall.  His  favorite  story  was  one  he 
did  on  renegade  archaeologist  Ron 
Wyatl,  a  man  who  claimed  he  had 
discovered  Noah's  Ark.  "Somesto- 
ries  appeal  to  me  more  than  others," 
says  Andy.  "That  one  did."    The 


not  only  was  1  often  treated  to  a  stir- 
ring vespers  by  a  black  minister,  but 
I  also  heard  outstanding  special  mu- 
sic performances  by  students  I  had 
never  seen  in  front  before. 

I  remember  wondering  to  myself, 
Where  had  these  faces  and  voices 
been  before?  and  would  I  see  or  hear 
them  again  before  the  next  Black 
History  Week? 

Something  happened  this  year. 
Black  History  Week  offered  more 
than  just  new  faces;  it  offered  new 
perspectives  on  race  and  history  that 
simply  hadn't  been  there  before. 
Those  who  attended  assembly  heard 
more  than  just  a  gospel  choir.  Slides 
showed  the  saga  of  black  Americans 
alongside  the  standard  white-histori- 
cal paintings  and  pictures.  The  po- 
etry of  Nevelon  Meadows  rammed 
these  perspectives  home. 

So  who  deserves  the  credit  for  the 
transformation?  One  nian  is  Campus 
Ministries  Director,  Gary  Collins, 
who  moved  BKT  from  its  isolation 
and  brought  it  under  the  CARE  um- 
brella. This  year  BKT  has  offered 
unique  praise  services,  known  as  AYS 


meetings,  offering  everyone  a  taste  of 
the  dynamically  black  style  of  wor- 
ship. BKT  also  lead  the  school  as  a 
whole  in  a  toy  drive  that  gave  Christ- 
mas gifts  to  needy  children. 

Why  didBKT  move  into  the  main- 
stream? "Someone  has  to  take  the 
initiative  to  unify  the  school,"  Collins 
told  me. 

The  greatest  part  is  the  way  BKT 
intends  to  do  it — through  spiritual 
unity.  "Thai's  the  only  way  we  can 
do  it,"  Collins  added.  Thus,  pro- 
grams like  AYS  and  BKT's  gospel 
choir  have  emphasized  praise  to  God 
rather  than  praise  to  anyone's  black- 
ness or  whiteness. 

BKT  has  moved  into  the  main- 
stream without  losing  any  of  its  black- 
ness. "Theperspectiveisblack,"said 
Collins,  and  yet  it  has  become  so 
much  more.  "I  guess  BKT  is  here  to 
help  blacks  adjust  to  Southern,"  he 
said,  "and  help  other  students  adjust 

Perhaps  the  most  credit  in  the 
transformation  of  black  student  life 
on  campus  belongs  to  the  college 


administration.    As  recently  a 
freshman  year  here  (1 989-90),  Lydia  I 
Rose,  an  assistant  women's  dean,  wa 
the  only  black  faculty  member  a 
Southern.  In  the  pasttwoyearsSouth-l 
em  has  added  Dr.  Orville  Bignall  tc 
the  physics  department,  and  Terri  Ruff  I 
and  Dr.  Ruth  Williams-Morris  to  the! 
behavioral  sciences  department  a 
well  as  other  racial  minorities.  Wil-I 
liams-Morris,  for  one,  has  been  ai 
outspoken  campus  leader  on  behalf! 
of  interracial  interests,  leading  Soi 
em  students  in  the  Martin  LutherKingl 
Day  March  for  Peace. 

As  seen  in  the  responses  to 
Accent's  Black  History  Week  Poll  in 
the  last  issue,  every  campus  has  itsl 
share  of  low-life  bigots.  But  havingl 
people  around  like  Collins,  Williams-I 
Morris,  and  current  BKT  president! 
Tracie  Johnson,  more  than  makes  upl 
for  it. 

Accent  congratulates  BKT,  its  I 
members  and  its  sponsors  or 
ing  BKT  into  the  Southern  College  | 
mainstream  this  year.  I  hope  it  n>

As  for  next  year, Accent  readers 
can  expect  a  new  and  improved 
student  newspaper.  "The  caboose 
will  live  in  one  way  or  another," 
says  Andy.  "And  though  I  find  it  a 
bit  tempting  to  correct  some  of  the 
mivHiitlfil.  liberal  viewpoints  of  my 
predecessor,  I  expect  to  focus  on 
more  campus-centered  topics  in  my 
editorials." 

This  editor,  for  one,  looks  for- 
ward to  next  year's  Accent.  But

Concert  Connections 

Vs  fnandraising  for  the  Science  Center 
ftraps  up,  Accent  looks  forward  to  a 
possible  new  project  that  was  first 
mentioned  15  years  ago.

e  of  Southern'; 


hestra  or  band 
of  going  to  the  gym,  as  you 

lually  do,  you  go  to  a  large  concert 
II.  Inside,  there  are  near  perfect 
mslics  and  the  finest  lighting  and 
id  that  technology  can  offer.  And, 
yet,  there  aren't  any  folding 
irs.  Instead,  there  are  real  seats. 
Actually,  just  such  aconcert  hall 
part  of  a  long  range  plan  when 

||abel  Wood  Hall  and  Brock  Hall 
■  built  in  the  late  '70's  and  early 
s.  In  the  architectural  drawings, 
building  is  situated  between 

tock  and  Wood  Halls.  In  fact,  the 

story  sidewalk,  now  connect- 

Brock  and  Wood,  was  intended 

be  part  of  the  concert  hall's  glass 
>y,  giving  both  buildings  access 

the  hall. 

The  auditorium  was  never  high 
was  a  dream,"  said  Math 

apartment  Chair  Lawrence  Hanson, 
Academic  Dean  in  the  late 

|  when  Brock  and  Wood  were 

tilt.   He  said  that  three  separate 


buildings  were  originally  going  to  be 
built  for  the  art,  music,  and  commu- 
nications departments.  After  decid- 
ing that  it  would  be  best  to  build  two 
buildings,  one  for  Humanities  and 
one  for  Music,  "the  (buildings)  were 
designed  with  the  future  in  mind  so 
that  if  an  auditorium  was  built  it 
would  makeanice  complex  of  build- 
ings," said  Hanson. 

However,  the  concert  hall  pro- 
posal was  never  seriously  discussed 
with  any  intent  of  raising  money  for 
it  or  building  within  the  ensuing  five 
to  seven  years,  Hanson  said.  "We 
were  already  stretched  to  the  limit 
financially  with  building  Brock  and 
Wood." 

In  the  original  plans,  the  hall 
would  provide  a  multi-sized  audito- 
rium, in  which  tiered  classrooms 
could  be  opened  up  to  balcony  space. 
"The  hall  also  would  have  been 
equipped  with  a  stage  with  large 
wings  and  fly  space  to  fly  {or  drop) 
props,"said  Music  Department  chair, 
Marvin  Robertson.  "That's  some- 
thing that  we  don't  have  the  room  to 
do  now  with  The  Sound  of  Music" 


This  isadiagram  of  the  Southern  Missionary  College  Fine  ArlsCompIe*.  These  plans 
were  drawn  in  1978  and  a  copy  kepi  on  file  in  IheMusIc  Building  office. 


Another  feature  of  the  concert 
hall  would  have  been  a  full  size  re- 
hearsal hall  under  the  stage  to  pro- 
vide the  same  stage  space  for  re- 
hearsals without  tying  up  the  hall 
itself.  Adequate  dressing  rooms,  cos- 
tume storage  and  shop  and  a  scenery 
shop  were  also  planned  to  be  in- 
cluded. 

"This  is  a  need  that  is  becoming 
more  and  more  obvious,"  said 
Robertson.  "Right  now,  there  is  no 
good  place  for  a  general  program. 
We  appreciate  the  gym,  but  the  seats 
are  uncomfortable  and  there  is  inad- 
equate sound  and  lighting  for  perfor- 
mances. The  hall  could  be  used  for 
secular  assemblies,  Saturday  night 
programs,  and  even  graduations." 

College  President,  Donald  Sahly , 
also  agrees  the  hall  is  needed.    "I 


think  it  would  be  a  tremendous  asset 
to  the  college.  It  would  be  a  repre- 
sentative place  to  invite  the  commu- 
nity to  concerts.  Right  now,  poor 
seating  and  poor  acoustics  are  a  real 
problem,  plus  the  inconvenience  of 
setting  chairs  up  and  taking  them 
down  three  or  four  times  a  week.  , 
.This  added  wear  and  tear  gives  addi- 
tional costs  of  around  $3,000  in  re- 
pairing the  gym  floor  every  year." 

Currently,  however,  there  are  no 
plans  to  dust  off  these  dreams  of  a 
concert  hall.  "This  is  one  of  the 
many  things  we'd  like  to  have,"  said 
Development  Director  Jack 
McClarty,  "but  right  now  we  are 
concentrating  on  the  science  com- 
plex. That  is  the  number-one  prior- 
ity right  now."

Text  of  the  Week 

Dr.  Jack  Blanco 

Phillipians  1:6  "Being  confident  of  this  very  thing,  that  he 
which  hath  begun  a  good  work  in  you  will  perform  it  until  thp 
day  of  Jesus  Christ.'" 

It  was  during  the  war  in  the  Pacific  that  I  accepted  Jesus  as  my  personal  I 
Savior  and  then  became  a  Seventh-day  Adventist.  Before  I  was  baptized  I 
wrote  to  my  parents  back  in  the  States  and  told  them  about  my  experience 
and  that  I  planned  to  join  the  Adventist  church.  For  weeks  I  didn't  hear  fronj 
them  and  decided  not  to  waitany  longer.  It  was  abeautiful  Sabbath  day  whej 
Elder  Ray  Turner  baptized  me  in  the  waters  of  a  peaceful  lagc 
Pacific  as  the  native  members  sang  about  Jesus. 

Soon  afterwards  I  received  a  letter  from  my  mother  saying,  "If  y 
become  a  Seventh-day  Adventist,  I  don't  want  you  ever  to  set  foot  in  t 
house  again."  That  was  one  of  the  biggest  shocks  I  have  had  in  my  lid 
because  I  loved  my  mother  very  much.  How  I  wrestled  with  my  emotion/ 
wondering  whether  I  had  done  the  right  thing  or  not.  Finally,  after  days  J 
prayer  and  agonizing  I  knew  that  I  had  made  the  right  decision  by  placinl 
Jesus  first  in  my  life.  I  decided  that  I  needed  to  tell  my  mother  that  I  lovtj 
her  even  more  because  Jesus  was  in  my  heart.  I  wrote  to  my  mother  ev - 
day  for  six  months  without  receiving  an  answer.  All  the  other  troops » 
receiving  letters  from  home,  but  not  me.  Day  after  day  I  would  go  to  trail 
call,  but  no  answer.  Finally,  after  six  months  I  received  a  reply.  MymotheT 
wrote  and  said  that  I  could  come  home  on  furlough,  but  not  to  stay.  I'll  nevel 
forget  the  joy  of  thatmoment.  How  I  thanked  Jesus  for  answering  my  prayel 
the  rest  of  the  story  is  too  long  to  tell,  but  the  good  news  is  that  my  mothel 
finally  understood. 

During  those  months  of  crisis,  I  received  a  letter  from  a  girl  who  waj 
writing  to  G.I.  's  overseas  and  it  was  addressed  to  me.  How  she  got  my  name! 
I  never  did  find  out.  She  was  a  Christian  girl  and  gave  me  just  the  couragl 
in  the  Lord  that  I  needed.  No,  that's  not  the  girl  I  married  because  when  shl 
found  out  that  I  was  a  Seventh-day  Adventist  she  discontinued  our  co 
spondence.  But  in  one  of  her  first  letters  she  wrote  out  a  text  that  has  b 
an  encouragement  to  me  ever  since.  It's  found  in  Philippians  1:6.  "Be 
confident  of  this  very  thing,  that  hewhich  hath  begun  a  good  work  in  you  wi 
perform  it  until  the  day  of  Jesus  Christ."  This  promise  is  for  all  of  us.  IsnF 
that  wonderful?

Why  BHW?  Here's  why. 


Sir: 

People  that  make  silly  comments  like,  "Slavery  was  over  300  years  ago, 
why  is  there  still  a  problem  with  it?"  and  "Why  can't  wc  have  a  White 
History  Week,  or  a  Chinese  Week,  etc.?"  are  people  that  don't  read  or  watch 
educational  programs  on  historical  events.  They  are  afraid  to  learn  some- 
thing new  or  they  don't  really  care  because  it  doesn't  involve  them.  But  it 
does;  it  involves  everyone  that  considers  themselves  human.  What  a  sad 
commentary. 

My  mother,  a  retired  educator,  instilled  in  her  children  a  rich  heritage 
because  she  knew  it  was  deleted  in  the  school  system.  She  taught  me  to  be 
proud  of  my  race.  I  was  encouraged  to  learn  about  and  be  open-minded  to 
other  cultural  backgrounds.  My  mother  never  let  us  believe  the  foolish 
stereotypes  inflicted  upon  our  people.  So  it  was  never  enough  for  us  to  just 
finish  high  school  or  to  settle  for  a  year  or  two  of  college,  or  even  a  trade.  We 
wereexpcctedtogo"alltheway."Asaresult,Iamacollege  educated,  Afro- 
American  woman.  And  guess  what?  There  are  thousands  of  other  Afro- 
Americans  that  are  accomplished  in  several  areas.  Bet  you  haven't  learned 
that  in  your  American  history  classes. 

A  fro- Americans  have  contributed  richly  to  the  formation  of  this  "land  of 
the  free  and  home  of  the  brave."  For  instance,  did  any  of  you  know  that  the 
first  "successful"  open-heart  surgery  was  performed  on  July  9, 1 893  by  Dr. 
Daniel  Hale  Williams,  an  Afro-American  surgeon.  Or  that  Garrett  A. 
Morgan  invented  the  traffic  light  and  the  gas  inhalator  (mask).  These  and 
other  important  A  fro- Americans  have  for  some  reason  or  another  been  left 
out  of  those  expensive  history  books.  And  that  is  why  there  is  a  Black 
History  Month  in  this  country;  to  educate  the  ignorant.  It  isn't  only 
celebrated  on  this  campus,  but  the  month  of  February  is  slated  Black  History 
Month,  thanks  to  Carter  G.  Woodson,  who  created  the  month  in  the  1960's. 
We  arc  facing  a  serous  problem  on  this  campus  that  no  one  wants  to 
confront.  And  that  concerns  me  and  others  here.  Asamemberof  the  faculty 
I  feel  that  I  owe,  the  sincere  students,  an  apology  for  any  hurt  that  you  have 
suffered.  !  cannot  speak  for  all  the  faculty,  because  I  do  not  know  their 
feelings,  unfortunately.  But  there  areasmall  group  of  us  that  don't  like  what 
is  going  on  here  and  we  are  not  afraid  to  verbalize  our  feelings.  This  is  an 
institution  of  higher  learning  and  that  is  where  our  minds  should  be.  We 
should  be  seeking  to  learn  more,  especially  about  the  people  around  us.  To 
graduate  from  this  Christian  institution  and  know  little  about  other  cultures 
is  a  shame  and  ainu/K  u\i>u-  nt  money.  And  if  it  were  me,  I  would  be  angry. 
Think  about  it! 

To  the  faculty  of  Southern  College,  I  would  say  that  it  is  high  time  to  pull 
your  heads  out  of  the  sand!  There  is  a  serious  problem  on  our  campus. 
Racism  is  not  a  problem  of  the  world  alone;  it  is  in  the  church  too!  To  bring 
it  home,  it  is  in  Collegcdale  and  even  closer — Southern  College.  Each  of  you 
should  have  such  a  burden  for  the  feelings  displayed  in  the  poll,  that  you 
should  be  writing  letters  to  this  publication.  Jesus  is  coming  soon  and  it  is 
time  to  realize  this  fact.

Where  was  tact  to  Blacks? 

IF  In  response  lo  your  poll  on  how  students  fell  about  Black  History  Week 
(BHW)  I  was  startled  to  see  such  a  great  percentage  of  students  who  were 
against  celebrating  and  recognizing  Black  people  in  history.  But  the 
numbers  weren  't  as  much  a  cause  forconcera  as  were  the  students'  reactions 
for  why  they  were  either  for  or  against  Black  History  Week. 

The  remarks  of  those  who  were  against  BHW  appalled  me— not  neces- 
sarily all  of  them,  but  those  that  were  obviously  derogatory  remarks  such  S 
this:  "It's  not  worth  the  printer's  ink  on  the  calendar."  To  the  author,  1 
ask-  Should  your  statement  be  worth  "the  printer's  ink?"  Another  w 
comment  about  the  Ku  Klux  Klan.  I  can't  be  certain  of  what  was  exactly  I 
implied,  but  I  see  a  profound  difference  between  the  purpose  of  our  students 
and  faculty  who  support  Black  History  Week,  and  members  of  the  KKK.  I 
From  my  understanding,  the  purpose  for  such  an  occasion  was  to  bring  I 
harmony  between  people  of  different  races  and  colors— to  teach  tolerance  1 
and  respect  for  other  cultures.  In  contrast,  I  think  it's  safe  to  say  that  the  | 
KICK'S  motives  aren't  as  creditable.. 

My  aim  is  not  put  down  the  people  whose  choice  was  against  Black  | 
History  Week,  but  to  point  out  that  there  are  better  ways  to  go  3 
expressing  our  views  without  provoking  anger  and  spite. 

Eugene  Kim 


SC  is  not  for  bigots 

Sir: 

I  am  writing  in  reference  to  a  poll  in  your  February  1 1  issue  of  Accent 
concerning  students'  reactions  to  Black  History  Week  by  Heilange  Celamy, 
Trade  Johnson,  and  Sabine  Vatel.  I  was  appalled  after  reading  the  preju- 
diced responses  written  by  students  of  Southern  College.  Although  I  am  sure 
there  is  a  certain  amount  of  prejudice  on  campus,  I  believe  the  poll  is 
inaccurate  for  several  reasons. 

First  of  all,  the  poll  did  not  represent  Southern  as  a  whole.  Since  people 
were  not  interviewed,  only  those  who  saw  that  the  poll  was  being  taken 
participated.  Unfortunately,  those  who  felt  strongly  against  BHW  were  the 
main  voters.  In  addition,  because  of  the  misrepresentation  by  those  against 
Back  History  Week,  the  percentages  on  the  polls  are  incorrect.  If  the  entire 
school  had  voiced  their  opinions,  the  poll  would  not  have  showed  such  ahigh 
percentage  of  students  against  Black  History  Week.  Although  many  races 
make  up  Southern  College,  the  majority  of  S.C.  students  do  not  seem  to  be 
prejudiced.  This  school  is  not  full  of  racial  conflict. 

My  biggest  concern  in  examining  this  poll  was  that  it  appeared  as  if 
Southern  students  do  not  consider  African-  Americans  highly.  I  know  at 
least  one  Black  girl  who  feels  whites  on  this  campus  look  down  on  her  just 
because  of  her  color.  If  this  is  the  message  we  are  portraying  we,  as  a 
Christian  school,  need  to  have  a  change  in  attitude  and  behavior. 

I  hope  that  this  poll  did  not  give  the  African  American  students  of  SC  the 
impression  that  Whites  of  this  campus  are  racist.  The  poll  did  not  represent 
our  school  as  a  whole,  which  made  the  percentages  incorrect.  For  those  of 
you  who  were  offended  by  the  negative  reactions  expressed  in  the  Black 
History  Week  poll,  I  apologize  on  behalf  of  the  students  who  believe  as  Ido.

24  February  1993 


P«ge7 


Recent  poll  showed 
need  for  education 


lam  writing  in  response  to  "Polls  find  student  apathy  toward  BHW"  in 

Southern  Accent  of  February  11,1 993.  At  first  glance,  it  appeared  to  me 
BtthemajorityofSCstudents(62%)  were  opposed  toBlack  History  Week. 
lowever,  upon  inquiry,  I  learned  that  the  sample  was  made  up  of  about  60 
udents.  It  was  then  that  a  troubling  picture  began  to  emerge:  of  the  1,400 
udents  enrolled  in  this  college,  less  than  5%  even  had  an  opinion  that  they 

ihed  to  share  regarding  BHW.  In  other  words,  over  95%  of  the  student 
jy  is  INDIFFERENT  to  this  issue. 

As  a  social  scientist,  I  realize  the  inherent  danger  of  the  consequences  of 

ifference.  Fortheabsenceofloveisnothate:  it  is  indifference.  An  entire 
ffik  is  placed  in  the  school  calendar — a  week  that  is  part  of  the  greater 
niexl  of  this  nation's  celebration  of  Black  History  Month,  and  over  95% 

our  students  DO  NOT  CARE! 

At  the  very  least,  this  may  be  due  partly  to  ignorance — a  failure  in  the 
mes,  schools,  churches  and  academies  to  truly  educate.  A  failure  of 
juthem  College  to  provide  an  education  for  the  whole  person.  An 
lucation  that  parallels  the  work  of  redemption:  an  atmosphere  of  learning 
here  implicitly  and  explicitly  teaches  our  students  diversity  but  celebrates 

And  the  celebration  of  any  one  member,  or  segment  of  the  body  of  Christ 
really  a  celebration  of  the  whole. 

At  the  very  worst,  this  indifference  on  the  part  of  the  students  may  be 
dicarive  of  DENIAL.  "Let  us  pretend  that  there  are  no  differences,  no 
itod,  no  intolerance,  no  bigotry,  no  judgment  of  another  American,  based 
(felyonhisethnicity.  Let's  pretend  that  thereareno  Seventh-day  Adventist 

And  what  about  the  5%  who  cared  enough  to  register  an  opinion?  I 
Eplaud  the  courage  of  those  60  students  who  took  a  stand  in  the  face  of 
idespread  passivity,  apathy  and  indifference.  Notwithstanding  the  finding 

nearly  two-thirds  of  this  group  expressed  negative/hostile  reactions  to 
HW.I  believe  that  this  "faithful  few"  have  done  us  a  favor.  The  experience 
[students  who  attend  Southern  College  was  weighed  in  a  balance  and  was 
«nd  to  be  wanting.  The  specific  comments  made  by  these  students  indicate 
edegree  of  misunderstanding,  ignorance  and  stereotyping  associated  with 
use  who  have  not  been  fully  educated. 

Ibelieve  that  instead  of  this  week  becoming  a  further  tool  for  tension, 

3u'vity  and  hostility,  let  us  see  this  as  a  cry  for  help.  Our  students  were 
west  enough  to  let  us  know  howmuch  they  don't  know  about  other  human 
Mgs.  Let  our  response  be  more  proactive  than  reactive.

ixpiore  a  kaleidoscope  of 
ndMduallty 

h  response  to  those  in  opposition  to  black  History  Week  "Hello."  It  is 

'""0's  and  not  the  1960's.  Ignorance  and  stereotyping  any  race,  creed, 

Wigion  has  been  a  result  of  countless  deaths  and  brutalities  in  history.  Our 

Ty  has  seen  its  share  of  racial  violence  and  years  have  been  donated  to 

^orne  the  ideas  of  closed-minded  individuals  who  do  not  respect  other 

"j^s-    Many  may  see  Black  History  Week  as  a  "special  privilege." 

W  it  is,  but  for  many  others  who  have  never  felt  the  sting  and  hatred  of 

mutation,  BHW  will  be  a  learning  experience.  I  don't  know;  maybe, 

i^  what  we  are  here  to  do  at  college-  not  just  book  learn  but  to  learn  to 

others,  not  on  the  basis  of  race  but  on  the  basis  of  being  another 

^  being.  There  is  no  reason  that  other  cultures  can  not  have  a  week 

e  .led  l0  Caching  others  about  different  ways  of  life.  I  worry  for  those  who 

*  a  facade  of  reality.  The  real  world  is  not  filled  with  just  Caucasians 

lans  or  Asians,  but  instead  a  vast  kaleidoscope  of  individuality .  Maybe 

"I  be  a  day  when  a  person's  character  and  heart  is  considered  more 

,rIant  than  their  color  but  I  think  that  is  called  heaven.

Learn  how  to  respect  your 
neighbor's  diversity 

I  give  the  leaders  who  planned  this  event  my  utmost  respect.  I  must, 
however,  integrate  some  personal  feelings  that  I  believe  could  improve  the 
outcome  of  this  designated  week. 

Everyone  enjoys  their  day  in  the  sun,  but  when  that  day  is  enjoyed  alone 
the  sun  isn't  as  bright.  If  BHW  was  exclusively  for  the  African  Americans 
on  Southern's  campus,  then  private  meetings,  private  concerts,  and  private 
rallies  would  be  in  season.  But  unless  I  missed  my  cue,  BHW  is  for 
everyone.  Blacks,  Whites,  Indians,  Asians. . . 

The  functions  of  BHW,  to  me,  are  to  educate  about  past,  present,  and 
future  issues  the  black  culture  faces,  to  bring  to  light  issues  that  people  don't 
readily  think  about,  and  to  celebrate  the  contributions  the  African  culture  has 
made  to  the  American  lifestyle. 

To  ignore  the  thoughts  and  feelings  of  others  coming  from  different 
ethnic  backgrounds,  is  to  negate  the  effectiveness  of  the  specified  event.  As 
stated  previously,  if  BHW  was  a  celebration  for  only  those  who  were  Black, 
private  activities  would  be  the  dress  for  the  occasion,  But  as  I  see  it  BHW 
is  not  only  for  those  designated  as  being  "Black,"  but  also  for  those 
designated  as  being  "any  other  color." 

How  does  one  know  what  another  wants  unless  one  asks  another?  It  may 
sound  like  an  old  cliche,  but  it  is  an  appropriate  one.  Since,  in  my  opinion, 
BHW  is  not  only  a  celebration  of  "blackness"  by  the  Blacks,  but  rather  a 
celebration  of  "blackness"  by  everyone,  "everyone"  should  be  included  in 
the  planning.  I  realize  I  may  draw  some  flack  from  those  who  believe  the 
"non-Black"  cultures  already  have  too  much  say  about  what  goes  on  in  the 
Black  culture,  so  I  would  like  to  explain.  If  I  want  to  exact  a  change  I  go  to 
the  entity  I  am  wanting  to  change  and  I  find  out  what  that  entity  is  made  of. 
I  respect  and  never  would  want  to  take  the  uniqueness  or  the  feelings  of  pride 
one  has  towards  his  culture,  away  from  my  Black  friends  and  colleagues. 
My  ideal  dream  has  no  room  for  segregation  nor  integration.  U  is  wrapped 
up  in  the  idea  that  if  I  can  learn  to  respect  my  neighbor's  diversities  and 
assimilate  them  into  my  everyday  life,  then  I  will  see  my  neighbor  not  as 
superior  nor  as  inferior,  but  equal. 

Matthew  Deming 

Honor  is  something  earned 

Sir: 

I  am  writing  in  response  to  Sabine  Vatel's  article  about  Black  History 
Week  that  was  published  in  the  Accent,  1 1  February,  1993. 

In  Vatel's  article,  the  on-  campus  club  Beta  Kappu  Tau  was  mentioned 
as  sponsoring  Black  History  Week  at  Southern.  At  first  glance,  this  does  not 
seem  to  be  such  a  big  deal.  After  all,  BKT  claims  to  support  unity  and 
togetherness  among  both  Blacks  and  Whites  on  campus.  In  fact,  as  I 
understand  it,  anyone  of  any  nationality  can  become  a  member  of  BKT.  But, 
I  would  like  to  ask  a  question  of  all  my  Black  friends  on  this  campus.  Does 
BHW  promote  unity  or  dissension  among  us? 

As  I  see  it,  all  of  us  at  SC  should  know  a  lot  about  history  of  all  kinds 
including  the  history  of  the  U.S.A.  and  how  Black  people  were  involved  in 
our  history.  Good  or  bad,  we  should  know.  If  this  is  what  BHW  is  about  then 
it  would  be  good.  However,  when  I  read  Vatel's  article,  this  is  not  what  I 
found.  To  me,  BHW  on  this  campus  seems  to  be  more  of  a  power  struggle, 
more  of  a  struggle  for  recognition.  But  recognition  for  what?  Let  me  ask  a 
question.  Does  a  truly  great  person  or  group  of  people  strive  to  convince 
others  of  their  greatness?  In  my  life,  I  have  seen  that  truly  great  people  do 
not  have  to  promote  themselves,  others  tell  of  their  greatness  and  we  smile. 
However,  if  someone  tells  of  his  own  greatness  we  naturally  despise  that 
person  even  if  he  is  great. 

Also,  is  it  better  to  be  honored  because  of  what  one  does  or  to  be  honored 
simply  because  of  skin  color?  Obviously,  this  idea  is  what  created  slavery 
to  begin  with.  White  people  wanted  to  be  honored  because  they  were  white 
and  thought  themselves  superior.  This  is  admittedly  insane  and  illogical. 

Honor  iswhalisatissue here.  Honor issomethingthatisearned.  Iscolor 
earned?  Did  I  earn  my  white  skin?  No!  Therefore,  I  should  get  no  benefits 
for  what  I  did  not  earn.  It  is  not  fair.  If  all  of  us  would  forgive  the  past  and 
use  it  to  help  us  in  the  future  we  would  all  come  together  and  stop  trying  to 
be  greedy  for  honor  that  is  not  earned.  Of  course,  that  would  make  SC  like 
heaven.  All  for  each  other  and  none  for  self.  I  have  a  dream.too.

Juniors  take

The  class  of  '94  dominated  the 
Rues  Scries  Tournament  for  the  sec- 
ond year  in  a  row  with  Donny 
Baguidy  adding  a  second  tournament 
MVP  award, 

The  action  started  Thursday 
night,  Feb.  1 8,  with  the  seniors  play- 
ing the  freshmen,  and  the  juniors 
playing  the  sophomores. 

The  freshmen,  lead  by  Kevin 
Becker  and  Reggie  Brown,  proved 
too  much  for  the  seniors.  They  built 
a  20-point  lead  by  halftime.  winning 
by  a  final  margin  of  86-60. 

Thesophomore-juniorgamewas 
a  different  story.  The  score  see- 
sawed the  entire  game.  The  sopho- 
mores took  an  II -point  lead  with 
three  minutes  to  go,  but  the  junior 
turned  on  the  heat  with  several  clutch 
free  throws  from  Baguidy  and  went

The 


freshmen  played 
close  through  the 
first  half  reaching  a 
lie  at  halftime.  But 
the  second  half  was 
a  different  story 
with  the  juniors 
pulling  away  to  win 
83  to  75. 

The  seniors  re-

solation game,  beating  the  sopho- 
mores 75-60  to  capture  third. 

The  three  point  competition  pit- 
ted Becker  against  Baguidy  in  the 
final,  with  Baguidy  winning  a 
shootout  to  take  the  championship. 

"This  year's  three-point  contest 
was  probably  the  most  exciting  event 
of  the  tournament,"  said  coach  Steve 
Jaecks.

In  a  sport  dominated  by  men, 
Smith  has  found  a  niche  in  women's 
basketball,  and  added  a  new  spirit  of 
competition  on  the  women'scourt  in 
intramurals  and  off-campus  games. 

Smith  has  played  organized  bas- 
ketball for  six  years  now.  As  a  var- 
sity basketball  player  at  Shenandoah 
Valley  Academy,  Smith  was  offered 
a  basketball  scholarship  to  play  at 
Columbia  Union  College. 

Though  SC  had  no  such  scholar- 
ship, she  came  anyway. 

Sometimes  she  misses  the  league 
competition  she  had  at  S  VA  and  was 
offered  by  CUC,  a  member  of  the 
inter-collegiate  NAIA.

News  of  the  Weird 

by  Chuck  Shepherd 


SEEDSOFOUR  DESTRUCTION 

—In  1975,  the  Federal  Commu- 
nications Commission  considered, 
then  denied,  a  formal  request  from 
two  citizens  to  investigate  religious 
broadcasters'  alleged  abuses  of  re- 
served "educational"  radio  channels, 
but  the  rumor  persisted  that  the  FCC 
was  about  to  kick  religion  off  the  air. 
In  December  1 992,  noting  that  it  had 
now  received  more  than  21  million 
letters  over  the  past  17  years  from 
parishioners  urging  itto  keep  its  hands 
off  religious  broadcasting,  the  FCC 
issued  its  annual  admonition  that  the 
public  disregard  the  rumor. 

— As  President  Bush  ordered  air 
strikes  during  his  last  days  in  office, 
Patriot  missile  launchers  were  set 
up,  as  a  precaution,  in  Kuwait  —  on 
what  are  the  fairways  for  the  last  six 
holes  of  the  golf  course  at  the  Hunt- 
ing &  Equestrian  Club  in  Kuwait 
City.  "I  know  national  security  is  a 
priority,"  golfer  Walid  Al-Tailji  told 
the  Associated  Press,  "but  this  (in- 
convenience to  golfers)  is  another 
form  of  invasion." 

— In  July,  a  federal  appeals  court 
reinstated  an  antitrust  lawsuit  filed 


by  a  homeless  man,  Gralyn  A.  Ancar, 
who  had  sued  several  Houston  blood 
plasmacenters  for  conspiring  to  sup- 
press prices  paid  to  blood  donors. 

— In  November,  David  Harkness 
was  elected  to  the  board  of  the  public 
Broadlawns  Medical  Center  in  Des 
Moines,  Iowa,  where  his  wife  is  a 
nurse.  They  love  their  jobs  and  were 
dismayed  to  discover  thai  a  state  law 
forbids  the  hospital  to  employ  mar- 
ried couples.  In  December,  the  hap- 
pily married  couple  traveled  to 
Tijuana,  Mexico,  where  they  ob- 
tained a  divorce. 

OOPS! 

— The  current  Albuquerque  Yel- 
low Pages  ad  for  the  law  firm  of 
Gaddy,  Rakes  &  Hall,  which  spe- 
cializes in  personal  injury  litigaton, 
contains  a  typo:  "Representing  the 
Seriously  Insured"  (should  be  "Seri- 
ously Injured"). 

— In  December,  retired  Dallas 
police  officer  James  Leavelle,  who 
was  the  man  in  the  white  hat  hand- 
cuffed to  Lee  Harvey  Oswald  at  the 
moment  Jack  Ruby  shot  Oswald,  was 
in  his  home  re-creating  for  newsman 
Bob  Porter  just  how  he  had  grabbed 
Ruby's  gun  to  prevent  a  second  shot. 


Using  the  same  model  gun  Ruby  had 
used,  while  Porter's  camera  was  roll- 
ing as  part  of  his  project  on  the  his- 
tory of  the  Kennedy  assassination, 
Leavelle  accidentally  shot  Porter  in 
the  arm,  sending  him  to  Parkland 
Hospital,  just  like  Kennedy  and 
Oswald.  Porter,  however,  survived. 
— Over  the  last  three  months,  at 


least  five  trucks  have  accidentally!

iously  I  lower  my  mask  to  see 

,t  fearful  creatures  lurk  beneath 

[e  surface. 

J  As  I  warily  shine  my  flashlight 

no  Pacifica's  depths,  blue-green 

Mosphorescent  creatures  twinkle 

|eir  welcome.  I  am  surrounded  by 

y  forms  of  a  coral  chorale 

Inging  round  after  round  of  majestic 

A  mysterious  world  em- 

ie,  and  Davy  Jones  whispers 


soothing  lullabies  in  my  ear. 

Suddenly,  a  fish  darts  by.  In 
slow,  underwater  motion  I  stretch 
surgical  tubing  and  grab  for  the  shaft 
of  my  spear.  My  mind  screams  in- 
structions. "Aim!  Let  go!  Let  go! 
Now!  Now!  No,  wait!  No,  now!" 

I  hesitate  as  I  ponder  the  moral 
dilemma  I  am  in.  Is  it  right  for  me  to 
invade  someone's  home  and  thrust 
my  weapon  into  the  sleeping  body  of 
their  Mom  or  Dad,  or  brother  or 
sister?  Then  again,  this  is  a  church 
fundraiser.  .  .1  let  go.  My  arm  is 
nearly  yanked  off  as  my  spear  at- 
tacks a  dangerous  coral  head  loom- 
ing menacingly  nearby.  Undaunted, 
I  continue  my  hunt. 

Then  I  see  it.  Its  glistening  body 
is  partly  concealed  as  it  sleeps  unwit- 
tingly in  a  small  cave.  I  take  careful 
aim.  Thwunk!  I  feel  an  awful  thud  as 
my  three — pronged  spear  slams  into 


fleshy  cartilage.  My  spear  is  alive 
with  motion  as  I  struggle  to  control 
it.  I  realize  that  I  am  being  pulled 
towards  the  gaping  mouth  of  the  cave! 
This  fish  is  a  little  larger  than  I 
thought!  Wisely  deciding  to  let  this 
one  go,  I  pull  my  spear  out  and  re- 
sume my  quest. 

As  the  evening  progresses,  my 
all-too-active  imagination  begins  to 
wander.  I  remember  horror  stories 
of  fishing  trips  gone  awry.  Stories  of 
tough  island  fishermen  fending  off 
schools  of  circling  sharks  with  their 
spears.  Descriptions  of  how  it  feels 
when  a  shark  sinks  its  teeth  into  your 
leg.  Of  hapless  fishermen  diving 
deep  and  never  coming  up. 

With  such  thoughts  in  mind  I 
begin  apprehensively  shining  my 
flashlight  around,  searching  for  that 
mythical  demon  of  the  sea.  Deep 
down  I  know  that  it  won't  be  long 


before  my  nemesis  rears  it's  ugly 

I  see  it  before  I  notice  it.  It  coyly 
skirts  about,  a  living  shadow  playing 
touch  tag  with  the  scattered  beams 
from  my  light.  It  seems  to  be  wait- 
ing. Waiting  for  the  perfect  matches 
the  tempo  of  terror  so  familiar  to  this 
seasoned  predator. 

I  freeze  as  it  nonchalantly  rums 
and  heads  straight  for  me.  My  mind 
races.  Uninvitedvisionsofthe grave 
I  visited  earlier  send  chills  down  my 
spine.  Will  I  be  the  next  to  succumb 
to  the  will  of  this  primitive  atoll? 

The  shark  picks  up  speed.  It's 
massive  jaws  and  glittering  teeth  fill 
my  vision.  Gasping  for  air  I  throw 
off  my  sheets  and  wipe  salt — water 
from  my  face.  Relief  washes  over 
me  like  a  wave  as  I  realize  that  I  was 
only  dreaming  of  last  night's  all  too 
real  nightmare.

Destiny:  skits  and  skis 
in  Colorado

Pg-6&7 


At4:30a.m.  on  Sunday,  Feb- 
ruary 28,  Destiny  boarded  the  GCA 
bus  headed  for  Colorado.  Their  mis- 
sion: to  explore  new  slopes,  meet 
people,  and  witness  to  youth 
through  drama  performances. 

At  5:30  the  following  morn- 
ing, the  troupe  arrived  at  Mile  High 
Academy  in  Denver,  Colorado.  Tired 
and  bus  ridden.  Destiny  members 
prepared  for  the  first  of  two  tour 
performances,  held  that  morning  at 
,9:00.  The  first  program  was  for  the 
elementary  school  students.  Imme- 
diately following  that  performance, 
the  troupe  performed  for  the  acad- 
emy students. 

"Even  though  we  were  tired 

orn  out,  the  Lord  really 

,"  said  David  Bird.  "Both 
rformances  went  really  well." 

Next  for  Destiny  was  a  long- 
awaited  condo  in  Breckenridge, 
Destiny  members.  Ken  Rogers,  and 
boys  unloaded  the  van  and 

into  the  condo. 

"Living  together  was  defi- 
nitely an  experience,"  said  Tamara 
Durrette.  "It  was  great  to  fellowship 
together.  We  really  got  to  know  each 
other  well.  Now  that  we're  back,  I 
the  closeness  we  had." 


For  the  next  three  days,  the 
members  took  to  the  slopes  of 
Breckenridge.  "Once  we  reach  the 
top  of  the  slopes,  its  all  downhill 
from  there,"  said  Mickey  Sayles,  re- 
peatedly. Formany  of  themembers, 
it  was  their  first  attempt  at  skiing. 

Trie  Winter  Festival,  spon- 
sored by  the  Rocky  Mountain  Con- 
ference, brought  many  Adventist 
youths  to  the  slopes  throughout  the 
week.  Many  colleges — Southern, 
Andrews,  CUC,  Southwestern,  and 
AUC — were  represented  during  the 
weekend  programs. 

"I  loved  the  conference  out 
there,"  said  Brennan  Kirstein.  "The 
camaraderie  amongst  students  from 
different  schools  was  warm  and  ac- 
cepting. It  felt  good  to  be  an  Adven- 
tist young  person." 

Destiny's  final  performance 
on  the  tour  opened  the  Winter  Festi- 
val weekend.  The  troupe  put  on  the 
Vespers  program.  "Destiny  was  not 
only  a  witness  on  stage,  but  off  stage 
as  well,"  said  Jeff  Wood,  Rocky 
Mountain  Assistant  Youth  Director, 

"I  saw  the  Lord  working  in 
our  lives."  said  Student  Director 
Maria  Rodriguez.  "He  was  able  to 
work  through  us  in  our  performances 
in  order  to  reach  our  audience.  This 
week  was  an  unforgettable  experi- 


The  Gym  Masters  Tour  started 
on  Wednesday,  February  24  at  5:30 
a.m.  Destinations:  San  Francisco 
and  Hawaii. 

The  Gym  Masters  performed  at  a 
Golden  State  Warriors  half-time 
show,  Pacific  Union  College,  Senior 
Elementary,  Tokay  High  School  and 
Lodi  Academy, 

"We  called  the  tour  the  Iron  Man 
Tour  USA,  because  we  did  a  lot  of 
shows  in  California,"  said  Senior 
Ricky  Hayes.  "I  enjoyed  doing  the 
half-time  show  for  the  Golden  State 
Warriors." 

"Performing  for  an  inner-city 
high  school  for  children  with  prob- 
lems, like  broken  families,  was  my 
best  experience  on  the  tour,"  said 
Senior  Davy  Joe  Swinyar.  "We  were 
able  to  reach  those  kids  better  than  al 
any  other  high  school." 
Next  stop:  Hawaii. 
"The  most  fun  in  Hawaii  was  the 
beach  at  Hamauma  Bay  and  per- 
forming for  the  San  Bemandino  Jazz, 
a  professional  women's  volleyball 
team,"  said  Senior  Randy  Bishop. 
"The  whole  trip  was  a  blast." 

"What  I  like  the  most  was  when 
Dr.  Ron  Jaecks  flew  the  Southern 
Gents  (a  four-man  group  which  per- 
forms in  tuxedos)  from  Sacramento 
to  San  Bemandino  to  perform  his 
professional  women's  volleyball 
team,"  said  Darren  Williams,  "He 
sent  a  limousine  to  pick  us  up  at  the 

Christian Lighthall  enjoys  Pearl  Har- 
bor, the  International  Market,  and 
the  Polynesian  Culture  Center. 

Ricky  Hayes  said  there  were  few 
dull  moments  on  the  tour.  "Between 
Randy  Bishop  and  Philip  Wilhelm 
diving,  rolling,  and  sliding  we  never 
got  bored."

Southern  College:  "I  Do"  and 

so  much  more       by  Andy  Nash 


So  this  is  the  Accent's  Southern 
Matrimonial  issue. 

James"  Dittes,  your  usual  (or  is  it 
unusual?)  editor,  has  this  theory  that 
whileSCstudentsgainagrcaideal — 
an  education,  some  culture,  reduced 
rates  for  long  distance  calls — from 
Southern  College,  many  of  us  will 
acquire  something  else,  something 
that  breathes. 

Okay,  that  may  be 
not  limit  Southern  to  , 

much,  much  more  from  this  campus, 
things  only  anotherSCsludcnt  would 
understand. 

My  Spring  Break  began  the  Fri- 
day it  snowed.  A  friend  and  I  slopped 
at  a  Burger  King  on  1-75  South.  Af- 
ter ordering,  I  discovered  I  had  for- 
gotten my  ID  card.  "I  forgot  my  ID 


true,  but  let  us 
i  match-mak- 
:,  have  taken 


card."  I  told  the  cashier  girl.  "Can  I 
just  tell  you  the  numbers  if  I  know 
the  last  three?"  She  just  looked  at 

150  miles  down  the  road,  I  de- 
cided to  let  my  family  in  Orlando 
know  I  would  be  a  little  late,  but  the 
stupid  pay  phone  |ust  would  not  work. 
I  could  not  get  an  outside  line,  and  I 
was  clearly  hitting  the  "9"  before 
dialing. 

Strangely  enough,  the  phone  at 
my  house  was  not  working  right, 
either.  I  leaped  out  of  bed  the  next 
day  at  the  crack  of  noon  and  decided 
to  call  the  weather  line.  I  dialed 
2592.  But,  instead  of  "cloudy 
Collegedale  skies  and  rain  today,"  I 
somehow  reached  Pong  in  Thailand. 
Poor  guy — it  was  midnight  his  time. 

A  few  evenings  later.I  was  using 


courts.  Out  of  habit,  I  yelled 
"Shower!"  as  I  hit  the  flush  lever. 
But  there  were  no  showers  in  this 
restroom.  only  a  couple  smart-alek 
tennis  players  who  asked  if  I  always 
yelled  "Shower!"  when  I  flushed. 
Oh,  my,  weren't  they  funny!  I 
laughed  until  my  sides  hurt. 

Later  that  same  night  I  was  walk- 
ing around  outside  when  this  tre- 
mendous feeling  of  guilt  struck  me 
and  1  realized  it  was  11:13  and  I  had 
not  gotten  a  late  leave.  1  raced  to  my 
front  door,  just  avoiding  a  third  mi- 

By  Tuesday  night,  I  was  unable 
to  sleep  at  all,  as  if  something  had 
been  missing  in  my  life  lately.  Then 
it  dawned  on  me:  I  had  not  heard  a 
fire  alarm  in  nearly  a  week. 


On  Wednesday  at  1 1:30  a.m 
s  to  the  kitchen  a 


told  my  mom  I  wanted  o 


■ 


tortellini  and  one  serving  of  spJ 
ghetti  with  red  sauce  on  both,  plej 
But,  where  was  the  three-Iin 

23  hours  later  (that  would  1 
Thursday  now),  1  found  myself  fief 
ing  an  overwhelming  desire  to  J 
someone  if  Assembly  was  in  thegl 
or  the  church. 

Late  Friday  afternoon  1  drJ 
past  a  credit  union,  a  grocery  s 
and  a  post  office.  And,  to  my  a: 
ishment,  they  were  still  open. 

I  think  I  am  beginning  to  undfl 
stand  J.D.'s  theory.  Maybe  Soul 
em  College  guys  marry  Souihel 
College  girls  because  no  one  else™ 
a  clue  as  to  why  we  act  the  way  J 
do.  Or  something  like  that. 


Dittes:  "Thanks 
for  your  all  your 
prayers." 


Accent  Editor  James  Dittes 
will  be  returning  to  SC  Sunday 
two  weeks  after  head  surgery  in 
Nashville.  Dittes  had  a  fist-sized 
arachnoid  cist  removed  from  the 


back  of  his  brain  on  March  1. 

"  I've  been  really  weak  since 
the  surgery,"  says  Dittes.  "This 
anesthetic  leaves  you  so  drained,  I 
couldn't  even  watch  TV." 


While  In  the  hospital, 
Dittes  made  a  liberal  believer  ofl 
his  doctor. 

"I  don't  know  how  I  gotl 
such  a  Socialist  son,"  says  his 
mom,  Pat  Dittes. 


About  Accent 

Since  the  issue  of  marriage 
is  foremost  in  this  issue,  it's  high 
lime  Accent  celebrated  its  better 
half:  assistant  editor  Angic  Coffey. 
Angie,  a  junior  public 
ans  major  from  Walhalla, 
South  Carolina,  has  worked  with 
Accent  since  the  end  of  last  school 
year,  primarily  as  a  layout  editor 
and  designer,  but  also  as  a  health 
columnist,  copy  editor,  comic 
selector,  and  worker  on  any  other 
task  that's  still  unfinished  at  4  a.m. 
the  day  of  deadline. 

Angie  finds  her  work  with 
the  editor  much  like  a  marriage. 
Long  hours  are  spent  laying  out  the 
issue  on  the  Monday  and  Tuesday 
nights  before  publication.  In 
Accent's  first  issue  of  the  year,  they 
marked  a  30-hour  marathon  in  the 
liny  inner  office,  working  to  make 
the  deadline. 

"(Working  with  J.D.)  is  a 
lot  like  a  marriage,"  says  Angie. 
"There  is  a  lot  of  compromise  as 
well  as  midnight  fights  and  ugly 
faces  in  the  morning." 

The  analogy  goes  even 
further  than  that.  To  describe  her 
edilor/"husband,"  Angie  smiles  and 
adds,  "He's  a  dictator." 


Angle  CorTey,  scran  to  be 

Angie  Lippard. 
And  the  children?  So  far, 
thirteen  baby  issues  of  Accent  have 
been  produced  by  the  couple~no 
record  by  any  means,  but  still  an 
accomplishment.  Every  long, 
torturous  night  in  the  Accent  office 
is  a  study  in  childbearing.  "It's  one 
of  those  things  you  look  forward 
to,"  says  Angie.  "You  hurt  doing  it 
but  you  really  love  it  when  it's 

Finally,  Angie,  herself,  is 
gelling  married-not  to  the  editor- 
but  to  Anthony  Lippard,  an 
automotive  manager  in  Cleveland, 
Tennessee.  Services  will  be  held 
March  21  in  Angie's  hometown  of 
Walhalla.  --JD

|i  Sound  of  Music  this  weekend 


* By  Stacey  Spaulding  I 

Itfie  orchestra  is  tuning,  the  ac- 

fireputting  on  their  makeup,  and 

e  hands  are  setting  up  the 

Lfor  three  performances  of  The 

ioj Music  this  weekend. 

I^ehave  very  talented  perform- 

id  they  will  put  on  a  top-notch 

r,"said  Music  Department  chair 

|nn  Robertson.    "Everybody  is 

g  their  best." 

|piL'  week  before  opening  night 

e  of  the  most  hectic  times, 

"That  is  when  all  the 

Ideiails  fo  the  show  get  taken 

Jof." 

fllhe  lighting  and  sound  are  two 
pthat  are  worked  out  in  the  final 
,  "We  are  hoping  to  get  a  dim- 
Bard  to  control  the  house  lights. 
I  ..ill  also  be  using  the  old  light 
p,"said  Robertson.  Robertson  is 
e  sound  equipment, 
kbave  to  have  at  least  12  body 
&  Seven  children  and  two  adults 
■be  wearing  them  during  the 
ikshow.  The  rest  of  the  mikes 


Another  detail  being  worked  out 
is  that  of  stage  props.  During  the  last 
week,  the  stage  crew  held  rehearsals 
of  their  own,  in  addition  to  the  two 
full  dress  rehearsals.  "We  (had  a) 
complete  rehearsal  with  just  the  stage 
crew,"  said  Larry  Blackwell,  stage 
manager.  "We  (had)  to  practice 
changing  sets  and  getting  the  sched- 
ules down.  There  is  a  lot  moved 
between  each  scene,  and  we  have  to 
get  our  timing  down."  Blackwell 
said  that  there  are  also  a  lot  of  small 
hand  props,  such  as  Captain  Von 
Trapp's  whistle  and  Maria's  guitar, 
that  need  to  be  taken  care  of. 

It  is  a  learning  experience  for 
everyone,"  Robertson  said.  "No 
one's  really  been  in  a  show  of  this 
magnitude  before.  It  has  been  plain 
hard  work, literally  hundreds  ofhours 
of  work." 

Opening  night  is  on  Saturday,

Health  service  relocates

By  David  Curtis 


Where  is  Health  Service? 
That  question  has  been  asked  a  lot 
lately,  and  the  answer  is  the  Confer- 
ence Center  Annex.  The  move  was 
made  because  the  financial  aid  office 
needed  more  office  space  and  the 
Health  Service  facilities  needed  to 


The  new  facilities  are 
equipped  with  two  handicapped-ac- 
cessible rooms,  which  the  old  facili- 
ties did  not  have.  Also,  the  examin- 


larger  than  before,  according  to  Heidi 
Hansen,  one  of  two  full-time  student 
nurses  at  Health  Services. 

The  only  problem  with  the 
new  location  is  access  to  it.  Thatcher 
Hall  residents  cannot  go  through  the 
dorm  and  into  the  conference  center 
to  get  to  Health  Service.  Instead, 
they  must  go  outside  to  get  to  the 
main  entrance.  Talge  residents  have 
to  walk  or  drive  to  the  new  faciility. 
The  main  entrance  is  located  at  the 
lower  end  of  the  conference  center.

"Highway  to 
Heaven" 

Dr.  R«m  da  Preez 


"I'm  sorry,"  the  voice  on  the  other 
end  of  the  line  said,  "but  you  won't 
be  able  to  talk  to  Joyce  du  Preez; 
she's  gone  to  the  hospital  for  an 
emergency  operation!" 

I  was  900  miles  from  my  home  in 
Johannesburg  and  unable  to  find  out 
what  had  happened  to  my  mother. 
Worse  yet,  I  had  no  money  or  means 
of  transportation  to  get  home.  But  I 
had  to  get  there. 

I  had  always  been  very  close  to 
my  mom.  and  was  now  rather  con- 
cerned that  she  would  die  without 
my  being  able  to  see  her  one  last 
time.  So  I  prayed.  Now  I  must  admit 
that,  even  though  I  had  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church  for  some  time,  I  had  not 
really  formed  a  personal  relationship 
with  God.  But  I  prayed  anyway.  I 
was  desperate. 

My  prayers  were  partly  answered 
when  a  cousin  of  mine,  who  was  on 
his  way  home,  offered  me  a  ride  that 
would  cover  300  miles.  We  drove: 
through  the  night  to  my  cousin's 
place.  Around  5:30  the  next  morn- 
ing 1  found  myself  on  the  highway, 
hitchhiking. 

Again  I  prayed  to  God,  this  time 
asking  that  the  right  person  may  pick 
me  up.  I  just  had  to  get  home  soon. 
Within  20  minutes  a  new  Mercedes 
Benz  pulled  over.  I  hesitated  mo- 
mentarily then  went  to  speak  to  the 
driver.  I  could  hardly  believe  my 
ears — yes,  the  driver  was  on  his  way 
to  Johannesburg!  I  hopped  right  in. 

After  a  few  minutes  of  friendly 
conversation,  the  driver  asked,  "Do 
you  have  adriver's  licence?"  "Yes," 
1  responded.  Immediately,  he  stopped 
the  car,  and  asked  me  to  take  over.  I 


was  thrilled.  So  there  I  was.  dm  in 
myself  home  in  a  brand  m 
Mercedes  Benz.  It  all  seemed 
incredible.  Tosaynoihingofthefi 
that  when  we  stopped  for  a  break, 
car  owner  paid  for  my  food  too. 

By  11:48  that  night  we  reac 
the  city.  As  I  stood  on  the  st 
outside  our  apartment,  I  lookedH 
into  the  dark  sky  and  simply  saH 
"God,  You  are  great!  TomorrB 
morning  I  will  begin  to  take  limm

Andldid.  Starting thatneudH 
I  began  to  regularly  listen  to  v,tj

and  to  talk  to  Him  in  prayer.  Am

more  to  me  than  anything  else  ir 

But  I  must  be  honest— I  do

just  one  regret.  I  wish  1  had  r

I  Seek  the  "true  education' 
|that  frees 

I  read,  first  with  amusement,  then  shock,  and  then  anger  some  of  the 
I  polled  comments  printed  in  the  Southern  Accent  of  1 1  February  1993.  I 
would  like  to  address  two  points  ( in  my  state  of  anger). 

point  number  one  is  that  I  WAS  BORN  A  NEGRO.    Though  this  is 

■  obvious  to  the  world,  in  and  of  itself,  it  states  clearly  that  like  members  of 
I  (he  Mongoloid  and  Caucasoid  races,  I  am  a  member  of  the  human  race. 
I  As  a  member,  I  am  entitled  to  all  freedoms  and  privileges  readily  afforded 
I  to  members  of  the  two  aforementioned  races.  One  does  not  have  to  research 
Ifor  very  long  to  see  that  the  members  of  the  Negroid  race  (eg.  native 

■  Americans,  Africans,  East  Indians,  West  Indians)  have  been  forcibly  and 
I  systematically  oppressed,  some  to  the  point  of  being  taught  to  accept 
llhemselves  as  inferior  to  others.  In  fact  most  Asians  believe  that  the  darker 

ie  color  of  your  skin  the  more  inferior  you  are.  1 

I  am  an  accomplished  negTo.  I  know  who  I  am,  BOTH  as  a  member  of 
(y  race  and  as  a  member  of  the  body  of  Jesus  Christ.  I  will  also  hasten  to 
iy  that  what  I  have  accomplished — by  the  grace  of  God  Almighty  —  have 
„>en  according  to  the  "standards  of  excellence"  of  the  Caucasoid  race.  I 
I  have  worked  very  hard.  I  put  myself  through  schools,  and  not  for  once  did 
'  :onsider  that  anyone  owes  me  anything.  Being  bom  a  Negro  is  after  the 
.Tiilitude  of  my  Lord  and  Savior  Jesus  Christ1  ,  consequently  I  am 
I  extremely  happy  with  my  ethnicity  and  spirituality. 

Secondly,  I  question  the  bases  of  the  negative  responses  (eg.  "If  so,  can 
«  have  the  KKK  here?")    This  particular  response  does  indicate  the 

■  presence  of  the  KKK  on  this  campus— though  perhaps  not  officially 
I  recognized.  I  am  equally  intolerant  of  my  Negro  brothers  and  sisters 
I  whochoose  this  time  to  depreciate  and  demean  any  member  of  another  race. 
I  This  is  a  time  to  look  ahead  and  to  forge  a  future  rich  in  cultural  pluralism. 

:  a  time  to  note  with  pride  the  gainful  achievements  of  the  past.  It  is  my 

e  wish  that  while  here  we  will  seek  the  true  education  that  frees  us 

I  rrom"01dhabits,andhereditary  tendencies  to  wrong..."'  An  education  that

On  January  6,  Thalcher  Hall  residents  were  just  starting  to  get  back  into 
the  routineofcollegehfe.Uponchecking  their  mail.therewasone  letter  that 
caught  most  everyone's  attention.  This  letter  stated  the  use  of  jewelry  has 
become  widespread  and  that  anyone  seen  wearing  jewelry  (on  or  off 
campus)  will  be  fined  twenty-five  dollars  with  no  warning  given 

Is  the  comply  ing  of  this  jewelry  rule  on  this  campus  out  of  fear  of  being 
fined,  or  because  the  students  had  not  read  their  student  handbook  and  did 
not  realize  the  rule  existed?  One  Thatcher  Hall  resident  slates,  "I  think  this 
letter  made  people  want  to  defy  this  rule  and  wear  jewelry."

they  known  what  our  church  believes  in  not  doing,  but  have  no  idea  what  we 
do  believe?  Is  it  Ihe  grace  of  Jesus  Christ  by  which  we  are  saved  or  the 
abstinence  from  eating  meat,  wearing  jewelry,  or  drinking  caffeinaled 
beverages  that  gets  us  to  heaven.  This  article  is  not  to  point  out  what  is  right 
and  wrong.  I  would  just  like  lo  ask,  "Is  what  you  belive  a  religion,  or  a

Sir: 

I'm  writingtoyou  in  my  time  of  need  in  hope  you  can  Find  it  in  your  heart 
to  help  me  if  you  can.  I  was  bom  in  Collegedale  and  lived  there  until  I  was 
seven  or  eight.  Mom  and  Dad  died  in  an  automobile  accident  when  I  was  13 
and  I  was  in  and  out  of  foster  homes  until  I  was  18.  I'm  now  incarcerated 
and  have  never  felt  this  kind  of  loneliness  before.  I'm  not  a  bad  person  just 
because  I'm  here.  Everyone  makes  mistakes  and  I  have  make  one,  but  I'm 
letting  my  past  teach  me  so  I  can  be  a  better  person  in  the  days  to  come.  The

could  publish  my  letter  in  your  paper  so  your  readers  can  see  il  and  may  write 
from  time  to  time.  It  would  be  a  joyful  gift  to  receive  a  letter  from  everyone 
who  reads  my  call  for  friendship.  I'm  a  27  yearold  white  male,  but  loneliness 
picks  no  certain  person,  so  anyone  can  write  me.  Editor,  even  if  you  can't 
help  me,  I  want  to  wish  you  the  two  greatest  gifts  of  all.  Someone  to  love

Is  Southern  College  still 


By  James  Dittes 


It  happens  every  time  I  move  in  Adventist  circles 
outside  of  Happy  Valley. 

"Where  do  you  go  to  college?"  someone 

"Southern  College,"  I  reply. 

"Oh,"  they  sigh,  and  pause  to  chuckle  as  if 
they  had  come  up  with  an  idea  no  one  had 
thought  of  before,  "you  mean  Southern  Matri- 
mony College?" 

Southern  Missionary  O  illcjic  became  South- 
em  College  over  ten  years  a^i.  hul  for  many,  the 
M— for  matrimony — has  never  dropped  from 
SC's  initials.  Other  colleges  mock  the  nick- 
name, even  as  Southern's  alumni  embrace  it. 
But  as  Southern  steps  into  its  second  century, 
that  moniker  may  be  fading.  Society  has  changed, 
so  has  the  average  college  student. 

The  Southern  student  of  1 993  may  be  among 
the  first  to  realize  a  truly  Southern  College — 
sans  Matrimony — nearly  eleven  years  after  the 
name  change. 


Lynn  {'56)  and  Helen  (*52  and  '63)  Sauls 

Lynn  and  Helen  Sauls,  professors  in  the 
Journalism  and  liducat inn  departments,  respec- 
tively, first  met  as  members  of  a  committee  to 
nominate  the  freshman  class  officers  in  1950. 
Helen  remember  the  moment  and  laughs  with  a 
trace  of  girlish  giggle.  "He  stood  up  and  said  in 
a  broad,  Georgia  accent,  'Sauls  is  my  name,'" 
she  says.  Lynn  only  remembers  looking  at 
Helen,  a  popular  Mount  Vernon  Academy  gradu- 
ate (he  had  gone  to  public  school)  and  thinking 
disgustedly,  "She  thinks  she's  smart." 

But  first  impressions  weren't  lasting.  The 
two  rode  together  to  the  first  concert  of  the 
season  by  the  Chattanooga  Symphony,  along 
with  one  of  Helen's  friends  who  was  interested 
in  Lynn  and  sal  beside  him  in  the  car.  "Somehow 
the  conversation  got  going  |with  Helen). .  .and 
she  was  interesting,"  Lynn  recollects.  When 
they  arrived  at  the  concert,  Helen  and  Lynn 
discovered  their  tickets — season  tickets — were 
next  to  each  other,  "there  was  a  whole  series  of 
dales  for  that  year."  Lynn  continues.  "And  on  the 
way  home  I  sat  by  Helen." 

DATING  ENCOURAGED  AT  SMC 

Dating  was  encouraged  at  SMC  in  those 
days,  although  strictly  regulated.  "It  was  the 
style  of  the  day  to  do  a  lot  of  dating,"  says  Helen. 
This  'style'  included  dating  different  people  at 
appropriate  times.  Lynn  says  he  faithfully  read 
SMC  &  You,  the  student  handbook,  and  remem- 


bers that  dates  were  allowed  during  the  noon 
meal  on  Tuesday,  supper  on  Wednesday,  and  on 
Saturday  night.  Students  were  also  allowed  to 
walk  together  on  campus.  Unaware  of  the  folk- 
way  that  only  serious  couples  went  to  meals 
together,  Lynn  lined  up  meal  dates  with  differ- 
ent girls  through  out  the  first  few  weeks.  But  no 
matter  how  many  di  fferent  girls  he  asked,  Helen 
was  special.  "After  I  met  Helen,"  says  Lynn,  "I 
dated  someone  and  dated  Helen  and  then  some- 
one else  and  then  Helen."  During  Thanksgiving, 
Lynn  told  his  motherhe  had  found  the  woman  he 
wanted  to  marry. 

Meanwhile,  another  man  began  vying  for 
Helen's  attention.  He  met  her  after  class.  He 
carried  her  books.  "It  was  extremely  frustrating 
because  I  was  trying  to  keep  the  [dating]  rules," 
Lynn  recalls.  "But  every  lime  I  turned  around, 
he  was  with  Helen. . .  .So  I  reread  SMC  &  You. 
It  said,  'Couples  should  not  be  seen  strolling  off 
campus  together,'  but  that  could  also  imply  that 
couples  could  be  seen  strolling  on  campus.  And 
in  the  catalog,  it  said,  'SMC  is  located  on  a 
beautiful  1 100-acre  campus.'  That  included  the 
biology  trails  and  While  Oak  Mountain,"  Lynn 
flashes  a  big  grin.  "So  I  said, 'Okay ,  I'll  keep  the 

SPRING  FLOWERS  -  FIRST  SIGNS  OF 
LOVE 

On  the  way  to  Week  of  Prayer  that  spring,  Lynn 
followed  Helen  and  her  friend  to  the  prayer 
meeting  at  the  Old  Tabernacle  (walking  together 
was  discouraged).  Along  the  way  was  a  yard  full 
of  daffodils.  "Helen  said,  'Aren't  those  daffo- 
dils so  beautiful?'"  remembers  Lynn,  "And  I 
reached  down  and  picked  one,  and  I  said,  'But 
not  nearly  so  nice  as  you.'" 

By  April  of  their  freshman  year,  Lynn  and 
Helen  were  going  steady.  In  May,  as  they  stood 
together  outside  Lynn  Wood  Hall,  serenaded  by 
a  Rachmaninoff  piano  concerto,  Lynn  asked 
Helen  to  marry  him.  They  were  married  a  year 
later.  Bothwerel9.  "1  was  a  child  groom,"  says 

TIME  FOR  A  CHANGE 

The  SMC  of  Lynn  and  Helen  Sauls  has  changed 
greatly  since  1951.  So  has  America.  The  men's 
dorm  where  Lynn  lived  is  gone,  replaced  by  the 
McKee  Library.  Helen's  dorm,  the  old  Jones 
Hall,  is  also  gone,  replaced  by  a  parking  lot.  The 
Tabernacle  burned  to  the  ground  three  years  ago, 
and  a  new  Science  Center  will  soon  rise  in  its 
place.  Of  course,  not  everything  has  changed. 
The  daffodils  still  grow  on  the  hills  in  the  spring- 
America  has  changed  too.  Only  61  percent 
of  all  adults  arc  wed  now,  compared  to  72 
percent  just  20  years  ago.  When  Lynn  and  Helen 
Sauls  were  married  in  1952,  the  median  age  for 
first-  lime  marriages  was  22.6  years  for  men  and 
20.2  for  women.  In  1990,  according  to  the  U.S. 
Census  bureau,  those  averages  had  risen  to  26.3 
for  men  and  24. 1  for  women. 

Why  the  rise  of  nearly  four  years  for  both 


genders?  Three  reasons  are  prominent:  the  rise  J 
ofmateriaiism.thesexual  revolution,  andchanges 
in  dating  altogether. 

Since  the  1970's  money  has  taken  a  greate| 
role  in  society.  Things  like  cars,  televis 


.  that  \ 


commonplace — status  symbols  for  the  middlj 
class.  In  fact,  many  homes  now  have  two  c; 
two  TVs,  and  two  telephones.  Keeping  up  w 
the  Joneses  is  harder  for  a  newly  married  cou 
than  ever  before. 

Many  are  putting  off  marriage  for  that  v 
reason.  "People  want  to  prove  themselves  finanl 
cially  before  getting  married,"  says  Jim  Ashbuml 
a  senior  Behavioral  Science  major  who  wa^ 
married  last  June.  "I  feel  I  have  to  v 
have  more  to  offer,"  states  senior  Mark  NobleJ 

Proving  oneself  these  days  takes  mc 
one  college  degree.  Careers  like  medic 
law  involve  many  years  of  work  beyond  1 
bachelor's  degree,  and  students  3 
realize  those  goals  before  getting  married, 
wasn't  like  that  in  1952.  When  the  Saulses  we 
married,  Helen  had  an  associate's  deeree 
education  and  worked  in  an  elementary  on 
room  school  a  few  miles  from  the  college,  while! 
Lynn  finished  his  theology  degree.  Later  LynrJ 
worked  to  put  Helen  through  her  B.A.  and  M.A.I 
and  Helen,  in  turn,  supported  Lynn  while  hj 
earned  an  M.A.  and  Ph.D.  in  English. 

PURSUING  A  COLLEGE  EDUCATION 

In  1952  a  college  educatii 
to  afford.  The  summer  after  his  engagement! 
Lynn  worked  as  a  colporteur  and  earned  a  full! 
two-yearscholarship  to  Southern.  Theemphasii 
in  1952  was  helping  the  student  pay  his 
through  college.  Now  studcnl  labor  is  a  w£ 
getting  by.  "If  you  work  a  20-hour  week,  yoi 
barely  pay  for  your  bill."  says  Ashbum.  He  at 
his  wife  now  cut  costs  by  buying  their  food  I 
Red  Food  and  Wal  Mart,  instead  of  eating  o| 
campus. 

Financial  outlooks  have  taken  grealcr  ii 
porlance   for  those  considering  marriaf 
"Whether  we  could  make  it  or  not  financia 
was  the  biggest  concern  we  had  [before  getting! 
married],"  says  Ashburn.  The  eighties  changed| 
marriage,  notes  Lynn  Sauls, 
seventies  had  been  a  time  of  idealism,  but  the| 
eighties  brought  a  gilded,  yet  harsh,  economic| 
reality.    There  were  new  things  to 
ladders  to  climb.    Marriage  began  l 
students'  economic  outlooks  rather  than  being  | 

Finally,  America's  values  have  changed  since  | 
1952.  Sex,  a  taboo  subject  in  the  50's,  is  no> 
exploited  to  sell  everything  from  lingerie  J 
laxatives.  In  the  fifties,  says  Lynn,  part  0 
reason  for  getting  married  was  to  enjoy 
"there  was  deep,  deep  sense  that  premariia 
was  wrong."  now  over  half  of  all  Americans  | 
have  had  sex  before  their  wedding  night.  With- 
out marriage  as  a  prerequisite,  many  people  art 
having  sex  and  waiting  longer  to  get  married.

|  Bud  ('63)  and  Barbara  ('63)  Piatt 

Barbara  was  to  be  the  maid  of  honor  in  Bud's 
I  wedding.  Instead  she  became  the  bride.  How? 
]  "Persistence,"  says  Bud. 

r  before  Bud's  senior  year,  he 
I  and  his  friend  Leslie  Walker,  had  made  a  pact 
;  they  had  seen  on  an  episode  of 
\Gunsmoke.  "We  saw  those  backwoods  men 
I  looking  for  a  good  woman,"  drawls  Bud  in  a 
|  beautiful  Carolina  accent,  "And  we  knew  it  was 
b  goin'  a  wifin'."  Barbara  insists 
I  marriage  had  not  crossed  her  mind  going  into  her 
jryear.  "That's  why  I  had  to  stay  persis- 
"  says  Bud,  bringing  a  vibrant  gleam  into 
ara's  blue  eyes. 

Tiat  summer  Bud  had  ended  a  relationship 
I  with  a  girl  he  had  dated  since  high  school — 
I  Barbara's  best  friend.  During  the  week  before 
I  school  began,  Bud  met  Barbara  out  by  the  flag- 
|pole  in  front  of  Lynn  Wood  Hall.  "Out  of  the 
r  blue  sky  he  asked  me  for  a  date,"  says 
|  Barbara,  gleaming.  "I  told  him  I'd  go  with  him 
'  xause  I  didn't  have  an  excuse  not  to." 

During  the  date  to  Lake  Winneposoca,  an 
t  park  in  Ringgold,  Barbara  tried  to 
:  Bud  to  reunite  with  her  best  friend. 

■  That  night  she  even  wrote  to  her  friend  and 
■confessed  everything  that  had  happened.  "That 

is  the  end  of  a  beautiful  friendship,"  Barbara 
|laughs,  shaking  her  head.  A  few  weeks  later  at 
a  candlelight  program,  Bud  told  Barbara  he 
didn't  ever  want  to  hear  the  other  girl's  name 
I  again. 

I  CHAPERONED  OUTINGS 

Dating  at  Southern  in  the  early  sixties  was  a 
I  complicated  system.  Every  off-campus  date  had 

■  to  be  accompanied  by  a  student  chaperone  se- 
lected by  the  dean.  All-day  Sabbath  outings 
■required  a  faculty  member.  One  Sabbath  chap- 
■ttonc,  Miss  White,  turned  out  to  be  quite  an  off- 
■ampus  lerror.  "We  saw  a  totally  different  side 
|Jf  her,"  recalls  Barbara.  Bud  only  remembers 
■Jje  moon.  He  leans  his  head  back  and  sighs. 
l/"ere  was  a  Carolina  moon  on  the  way  back," 
B*  drawls.  A  Carolina  moon  is  a  full  moon,  he 

■  »ys,  before  adding,  "I'm  a  Carolina  boy." 

■  Bud  planned  to  ask  Barbara  to  marry  him 
IJW  year  on  New  Year's  Eve.    "He  couldn't 

W  savs  Barbara.  "He  asked  me  a  couple  days 
fly." 

Bud  smiles  proudly.  "She  was  wearing  a 
■P^Ie  and  white  dress. . .  " 

■  '"Are  you  sure?"  replies  Barbara.  "I  thought 
*as  blue  and  white." 


". . .  With  ruffles,"  continues  Bud 

"That  was  blue  and  white,"  insists  „„,„,,, 

Bud  shakes  his  head  and  laughs.  "I  must  be 

colorblind." 

They  were  married  August  14, 1963.  Leslie 

Walker,  Bud's  fellow  'wifer',  was  married  to 

Glenda  Shoemaker  in  June. 

A  NEW  RELAXED  STYLE  OF  DATING 

Dating  has  changed  dramatically  since  Bud 
and  Barbara  Piatt  met  out  in  front  of  the  flagpole 
that  August  day  in  1962.  No  chaperones  are 
required  on  off-campus  dates.  No  faculty  mem- 
bers follow  Sabbath  excursions.  The  only  re- 
striction many  students  feel  is  the  curfew.  "Once 
you  get  out  of  the  dorm,"  says  Krisi  Clark,  junior 
English  major,  "you  can  do  anything  you  want 
to."  "Not  unless  you  get  too  grotesque  on  the 
promenade,"  adds  freshman,  Joe  Vital. 

Many  of  the  changes  come  from  the  different 
methods  of  dating.  In  the  fifties,  Lynn  and  Helen 
Sauls  used  afternoons  on  the  Biology  trails  as 
dates.  Bud  and  Barbara  Piatt  spent  mealtimes 
together  and  sat  with  each  other  at  Saturday 
night  programs  and  candlelight  times  in  the  Old 
Tabernacle.  More  and  more  college  students 
have  cars  now,  and  more  of  the  dating  action  is 
off  campus. 

The  dates  themselves  are  more  active.  Sat- 
urday night  dates  in  the  fifties  often  meant  sitting 
through  a  travelogue  or  a  lyceum.  Dates  today 
are  more  action  oriented,  says  Lynn  Sauls.  "Now 
we  have  beach  parties  and  creative  dates." 

A  new,  laid-back  attitude  to  dating  is  also 
evident  on  Southern's  campus  these  days.  "You 
date  if  you  want  to,"  says  Kristen  Bergstrom,  a 
sophomore  Nursing  major.  "It's  an  easygoing 
atmosphere,"  adds  Mark  Noble,  who  went  out 
with  five  different  girls  onereverse  weekend  and 
held  a  sixth  over  to  the  next  one.  Clark  agrees. 
"I  go  out  to  make  friends,"  she  says.  "It's  no  big 
deal.  "[In  the  sixties]  you  asked  a  girl  for  one 
Saturday  night  and  you  ate  wiih  them  until  that 
date,"  says  Bud  Piatt.  Most  seniors  at  Southern 
were  married  off  by  the  end  of  their  senior  year. 
In  the  fifties,  marriages  between  the  sophomore 
and  junior  years,  like  the  Sauls's,  were  not  un- 
common. "Everyone  I  asked,  I  had  the  possibil- 
ity [of  marriage]  in  mind,"  says  Piatt.  "Every' 
one  struck  my  fancy  in  some  way." 

HOLDING  OUT  FOR  MARRIAGE 

Just  the  thought  of  marriage  keeps  many 
from  dating  today,  "there  are  two  major  types  of 
people  who  dale  on  campus,"  notes  sophomore 
Marty  Sutton,  "the  ones  going  out  just  as  friends, 
or  those  looking  for  a  boyfriend  or  girlfriend— 
and  you  can  tell  them  a  mile  away." 

"Girls  are  a  lot  smarter  now,"  adds  Noble. 
"They  wouldn't  get  married." 

Women  aren't  the  only  ones  who  have

changed.  "The  boys  today  are  not  men,"  states 
Plait  emphatically.  "They  may  be  more  mature, 
but  they  are  not  responsible." 

But,  Clark  says  her  gender  can  be  equally 
irresponsible.  "We  like  to  play  too  much,"  she 

Fewer  students  can  work  their  way  through 
school.  Many  rely  on  their  parents  for  financial 
support;  others  elinnsc  lo^n  into  debt  even  other 
young  adults  live  ai  home — three  of  every  10 
unmarried  adults  ages  25-29  still  live  with  their 
parents. 

Barbara  Piatt  is  sympathetic.  "Why  settle 
down  and  keep  house?"  she  says.  "[Today's 
students]  are  still  enjoying  life." 

"They  want  Mom  and  Dad  to  pay  the  bills, 
cook  the  meals  and  do  the  laundry — all  the 
domestic  things,"  counters  Bud. 

"That's  what  they  arc  there  for,"  retorts 
Sherrie,  the  Piatt's  daughter  and  a  senior  Public 
Relations  major  at  Southern. 

Bud  casts  a  weary  smile  her  way.  "It's  all 
right,"  he  says.  "You  can  slay." 

Is  the  former  SMC  still  Southern  Matrimony 
College?  Many  still  gel  married,  but  many  more 
have  found  in  a  newer,  faster-paced  world  that 
they  can  wait  for  marriage.  They  can  put  their 
aspirations  first.  They  can  stay. 


Latest  victims  of 
marriage  pressure: 

Melanie  &  Quentin 
Sahly 


Last  December  23.  Melanie  (Odell)  and 
Quentin  Sahly  became  the  latest  victims  of  South- 
ern Matrimonial  College. 

Few  victims  have  been  as  willing  as  these 

Melanie  and  Quentin  first  met  as  staffers  for 
CARE.  Quentin  served  on  the  executive  cabi- 
net; Melanie  was  the  on-campus  director  for 
campus  ministries.  After  one  cabinet  meeting  in 
September  of  1990,  Quentin  and  Melanie  took  a 
walk  together.  They  got  as  far  as  the  top  of 
Rachel's  Ladder,  where  "we  talked  for  quite  a 
while  and  just  kind  of  sat  there,"  says  Melanie. 

Melanie  had  become  disillusioned  with  life 
at  Southern.  She  wanted  to  transfer  to  PUC. 
Quentin  wanted  her  to  stay. 

"1  gave  her  the  old  president's  son  PR,"  says 
Quentin.  "And  I  told  her  a  lot  of  awful  things 
about  PUC." 

Melanie  stayed.  PUC's  loss  was  Quentin 
Sahly 's  gain  .  .  .  and  the  rest,  as  they  say,  is 
history. 

Ten  months  later,  on  July  2 1 , 1 99 1 .  Quentin 
vacationed  with  Melanie  and  her  parents  on 


North  Carolina's  Lake  Lure. 

Though  Melanie  was  the  first  girl  Quentin  ' 
had  ever  dated,  he  knew  she  would  also  be  hi 
last,  and  he  planned  to  ask  her  to  marry  him. 

"I  had  already  made  arrangements  with  her  | 
dad,"  says  Quentin.  So  he  took  Melanie  o 
the  lake  to  a  romantic  place  which  had  been  | 
made  famous  as  the  setting  for  a  scene  ii 
movie,  Dirty  Dancing. 

Quentin  asked  Melanie  to  close  her  eyes  and  I 
hold  out  her  hand.  The  surprise  Melanie  got  v, 
an  engagement  ring. 

"Before  I  could  answer,  he  started  kissing  ; 
me,"  Melanie  recalls.  When  Quentin  finished, 
Melanie  said  yes. 

Melanie  and  Quentin  believe  Southern  Col- 
lege is  still  Southern  Matrimony  College. 

"I  think  there  is  still  a  glut  of  kids  getting  | 
married  from  SC,"  says  Melanie.  Although  the  | 
same  percentage  of  kids  are  getting  married  a; 
years  previous,  she  notes,  many  more  are  w; 
ing  until  after  graduation. 

Quentin  agrees.  "You  're  nevergoing  to  be  in 
a  more  optimal  place  to  find  a  wife."

Well,  there  is  no  possible  way

I  Others  believed  that  they  could  tell 
1  if  their  mate  was  true  to  them  by 
Ijiese  fables.  However,  you  can 
I  decide  for  yourself  if  these  tales 
]  iill  work  for  you. 

If  you  like  someone  but  you're 
31  sure  if  they  are  dating  anyone 
I  dse,count  the  spots  on  their  finger- 
I  oails.  If  you  count  the  middle  fin- 
Iger  on  both  hands,  this  will  well 
I  pj  how  many  boyfriends  or  girl- 
s  they  have.    (I  would  stay 


away  from  those  who  have  over  ten 
spots  on  their  fingers.) 

When  you  mail  your  sweetheart 
a  letter,  place  the  postage  stamp  on 
upside  down.  This  will  show  your 
love.  (I've  seen  this  happen.  But 
sometimes  I  wonder  about  it,  espe- 
cially when  the  stamp  is  upside 
down  on  the  bill  I  am  receiving.) 

The  first  time  you  travel  a  new 
road,  if  you'll  stop  and  pick  up  a 
rock  and  put  it  in  your  pocket,  the 
next  person  of  the  opposite  sex  that 
you  shake  hands  with  will  be  your 

Do  you  ever  when  talking  or 
just  thinking  unexpectedly  say 
someone's  name  aloud?  If  so,  it  is 
suppose  to  be  a  sign  that  this  person 
is  thinking  or  talking  about  you. 

Peel  an  apple,  keeping  the  peel- 
ing in  one  long  spiral.  Gently  twirl 
the  peeling  three  times  around  your 
head,  then  drop  it  on  the  floor.  It  is 
supposed  to  form  the  first  initial  of 
your  future  sweetheart's  name  as  it 
lands.  You  can  also  toss  the  peel- 
ing over  your  left  shoulder  instead 
oftwirlingitaroundyouhead.  (This 
fable  might  be  fun  to  do  in  the  cafe, 
though  people  might  look  at  you

strangely.) 

Dig  the  seeds  out  of  an  apple 
you've  eaten.  As  you  take  each 
seed  out  say,  while  thinking  of  your 
sweetheart:  "One  I  love,  Two  I  love. 
Three  I  love  I  say.  Four  I  love  with 
all  my  heart,  and  five  I  cast  away. 
Six  I  love,  seven  he  loves,  and  eight 
we  both  love.  Nine  he  comes,  ten 
he  tarries,  eleven  he  courts,  and 
twelve  he  marries."  Thenumberof 
seeds  in  the  apple  will  also  tell  you 
how  many  children  you  and  your 
sweetheart  will  have  after  you  are 
married. 

Write  three  names  on  three 
small  slips  of  paper.  On  a  fourth 
piece  write  the  word  Unknown. 
Fold  all  four  into  small  wads.  Next 
pack  a  coating  of  bread  around  each 
wad.  Drop  all  four  into  a  glass  of 
water.  You  will  marry  the  person 
whose  name  floats  to  the  top  first. 
If  the  paper  with  Unknown  rises 
first,  it  means  you  have  not  yet  met 
the  one  you  will  marry. 

Here 's  another  way  to  discover 
whom  you'll  marry.  Cook  a  back- 
ward supper  for  two  by  preparing 
the  entire  meal  with  your  hands 
behind  your  back.  Never  look  to 
see  what  you  are  doing.  Then,  with 
the  meal  cooked  and  on  the  table 
and  two  places  set,  sit  down  at  one 
of  the  place  settings.  Soon  the  one 
you  are  to  marry  is  supposed  to 
come  in  and  sit  down  at  the  other 
place.  (This  might  sound  interest- 
ing, however,  I  wouldn't  advise 
trying  this  in  the  dorm.  The  fire 
alarm  will  probably  go  off  because 
of  the  smoke,  and  the  person  will  be 
stuck  outside  trying  to  explain  to 
security  how  they  were  cooking 
their  sweetheart's  meal  while  stand- 
ing backwards.) 

If  men  eat  pumpkin  seeds  at 
bedtime,  they  will  have  romantic 
dreams.  If  women  want  to  have 
romantic  dreams,  they  should  eat 
blackstrap  molasses  at  bedtime. 
Also  chocolate  will  cause  lovely, 
romantic  dreams. 

When  you  hear  a  turtledove 
calling,  it's  a  sign  somebody  loves 
you  and  has  sent  the  bird  to  tell  you 

If  you  allow  someone  to  sweep 
under  your  feet,  you  won' t  get  mar- 
ried within  the  year.  Also  if  a 
woman  walks  under  a  ladder,  she 
will  not  get  married  during  thecom- 
ingyear.  (Some  seniors  might  want 
to  lake  these  sayings  seriously  and 
be  careful.) 

Here  is  something  to  try  with 
your  best  friend  in  case  people 
wonder  which  one  of  you  will  marry 
first:  Pull  a  chicken  wishbone  with 


else  to  see  who  will  get 
married  first.  It  will  be  the  one  who 
gels  ihe  shorter  piece.  To  find  oul 
quickly  who  you  will  marry,  put 
this  piece  of  wishbone  over  an  oul- 
sidedoor.  The  nexteligible  person 
who  comes  through  the  door  will 
be  your  future  mate.  (I  guess  you 
can't  do  this  one  in  the  cafeteria, 
since  they  don't  serve  meat.) 

Here  is  some  advice  for  those 
who  marry  as  soon  as  finals  are 

Marriages  made  in  May  are 
supposed  to  have  tots  of  good  for- 
tune and  happiness  in  them. 

If  a  bride  wears  blue  when  she 
gels  married,  it  means  she  will  be 
always  be  true.  Red  means  she'll 
soon  wish  herself  dead.  Wear  grey 
when  you  marry,  and  you'll  live  far 
away  from  the  place  you  live  ai  the 
time  of  the  wedding.  Wear  brown 
and  you'll  live  in  town  after  the 
ceremony.  Marry  in  black  and 
you'll  soon  wish  yourself  single 
again;  yellow,  you'll  soon  be  wish- 
ing you  had  another  fellow;  green, 
you'll  soon  be  ashamed  to  be  seen. 
Wearing  white  shows  you're  mar- 
rying the  right  man  for  you.  The 
bride  who  wears  tan  will  soon  be 
seen  running  around  die  town.  Your 
spirits  will  soon  sink  if  you  wear 
pink.  If  you  wear  several  colors  to 
your  wedding,  confusion  may  soon 
reign  in  your  marriage. 

If  the  sun  shines  on  a  bride, 
she'll  have  a  happy  marriage.  The 
bride  who  gets  rained  on  will  shed 
lots  of  tears  in  her  marriage. 

But  for  those  who  are  still  look- 
ing for  your  true  love,  try  some  of 
these  sayings: 

During  a  new  moon  in  May, 
look  over  your  left  shoulder  at  the 
moon,  and  say,  "May  moon,  May 
moon,  round  and  fair.  Under  my 
left  foot  I'll  find  a  hair."  then  look 
under  your  left  foot.  You  are  sup- 
posed to  find  a  hair  from  the  head  of 
your  future  mate. 

At  any  new  moon,  any  month, 
look  over  your  right  shoulder  and 
say,  "New  moon,  new  moon,  do 
tell  me  who  my  own  true  love  will 
be.  The  color  of  his  hair,  the  color 
of  his  eyes  and  the  day  we  will 
meet."  That  night  you  should  dream 
the  answers  to  what  you  asked. 

You  might  have  heard  these 
sayings  before,  you  might  haveeven 
tried  them.  But  don't  think  that 
they  always  worked  for  those  who 
used  them.  These  fables  did  let 
people  down.  But  when  a  letdown 
came,  people  didn't  let  it  bother 
them.  They  just  took  it  for  a  sign 
that  something  else  was  going  to 
■happen.

Callic  Thatcher  turned  when  she 
heard  a  rap  on  her  apartment  door. 
"Hi,  I'm  Benjamin  McArthur,"  said 
the  stranger's  voice.  "I  live  across 
the  hall." 

And  so  began  one  of  the  South- 
ern College's  most  unusual  court- 

The  couple,  now  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
McArthur,  met,  dated,  and  married 
as  college  faculty. 

"We  came  here  the  very  same 
year,  August  of  1 979 — both  single," 
said  Dr.  McArthur,  a  professor  in  the 
hisiary  department. 

The  two  new  teachers  resided  in 
the  new  Virginia  apartments  directly 
across  from  one  another. 

Upon  the  strategic  prompting  of 
a  mutual  acquaintance.Dr.  McArthur 
made  a  point  of  meeting  Miss 
Thatcher. 

"I  just  went  over  one  day, 
knocked  on  the  door,  and  introduced 
myself,"  said  Dr.  McArthur. 

"The  first  time  I  met  him  he  just 
came  to  my  door,"  said  Mrs. 
McArthur,  a  part-time  teacher  in  the 
nursing  department,  'i  think  he  was 
going  around  meeting  everybody." 

A  couple  ol  weeks  into  the  school 
year,  the  neighbors  recognized  anted 
foravacuumclcaner.  Ncitherowned 
one,  so  they  decided  lo  be  practical.

said  Mrs.  McArthur. 
"We  bought  a  vacuum  cleaner  at  J.C. 
Penney  in  Eastgate  Mall." 

"It  was  more  economical  than 
buying  two  vacuums,"  said  Dr. 
McArthur. 

Dr.  McArthur  was  unsure  what 
the  fate  of  the  vacuum  would  have 
been  had  the  couple  not  later  mar- 

because  young,  single  teachers 
were  very  rare  at  the  time,  there  was 
a  lot  of  faculty  and  student  interest  in 
bringing  the  two  together,  said  Dr. 
McArthur. 

The  couple's  dates  were  usually 
casual,  on-campus  activities.  "We 
went  to  Saturday  night  programs  at 
the  church,  to  Eastgate  Mall,  and 
played  tennis,"  said  Dr.  McArthur. 
"She  plays  tennis  well,"  he  said. 

After  a  six-month  engagement. 
the  two  married  in  the  McDonald 
Road  church  August  10,  1980.  "It 
was  almost  exactly  a  year  after  we 
arrived  in  I979."said  Dr.  McArthur. 

Dr.  McArthurstill  sees  Southern 
as  a  matrimony  college.  "My  guess 
is  that  it'sslill  alive,"  said  McArthur. 
'Thai's  because  it's  a  conservative 
college." 

"!  think  it  is  a  legitimate  motive," 
he  said.  "I  guess,  in  a  sense,  the  old 
Southern  Matrimony  College  adage 
worked  forme!"

Dear  friends  and  faculty  of 


Southern, 

Konnichiwa!  (Hello,  from  Japan!) 
1 1  find  it  almost  hard  to  believe  that  I 
|  have  been  here  for  nearly  two  months 
'.  I  have  learned  so  much!  I  have 
■  learned  things  like. . .  in  order  to  get 
Ijnacaron  the  passenger's  side  Imust 
I  go  io  the  left  side  of  the  car,  not  the 
I  right  side,  to  bow  when  greeting  or 
I  saying  good-bye  to  someone  instead 
|  of  waving,  to  bow  when  being 

introduced  to  someone  instead  of 
I  shaking  hands,  to  take  off  my  shoes 
I  when  entering  a  house  or  a  business 
wear  the  slippers  provided  for 
o  carry  two  handkerchiefs 
|  instead  of  one  (one  for  my  nose  and 

one  to  wipe  my  hands  on),  using 

chopsticks,  slurping  noodles  is  O.K., 
I  where thetrainstationsareand where 
I  (he  buses  go!  Yes,  I  have  learned  a 
I  lot,  but  there  is  still  so  much  more  to 

Even  though  I  am  learning 
I  many  new  things  and  meeting  new 


people,  I  still  miss  my  friends  and 
family!  I  really  enjoy  receiving  the 
letters  and  phone  calls!  They  mean  a 
lot  to  me!  Especially  now  that  I  am  so 
far  away  and  I  can  not  speak  with  you 
all  the  time  or  see  you.  This  is 
frustrating  for  me,  because 
sometimes  I  want  to  tell  you 
something  right  away  when  it 
happens,  but  I  can't,  so  your  letters 
and  phone  calls  are  very  important  to 

The  Lord  has  been  watching 


!  and  is  taking  < 


:  of  n 


There  are  so  many  times  when  He 
has  been  here  to  help  me  through  the 
situation.  He  is  always  with  you 
wherever  you  are!  He  loves  you  very 
much!  Please  continue  to  pray  forme 
and  for  the  people  of  Japan.  May 
God  bless  each  one  of  you!

Blame  it  on  [he  rain  and  the  snow. 
The  volleyball  sand  pit  that  was 
scheduled  to  be  in  by  March  16hasn't 
even  begun  lo  take  shape  due  to  the 

itantly  changing  weather.  "We 
can't  get  started  on  the  pil  till  the 
ground  is  dry,"  said  Mr.  Lacey  who 
is  in  charge  of  the  construction. 

Last  year,  the  SCSA  came  up 
with  the  idea  of  having  a  volleyball 
sand  pit.  Over  the  summer,  K..R. 
Davis,  SCSA  sponsor,  looked  into 
the  costs,  location  and  who  would 
build  it.  then  when  the  SCSA  recon- 
vened this  year  the  plan  was  voted 


However,  construction  obviously 
didn't  begin  right  away.  The  plan 
had  to  be  taken  before  the  faculty  for 
approval  followed  by  a  final  deci- 
sion on  where  to  put  the  pit.  "Phil

When  the  Light  at  the  End  of 
the  Tunnel  Blinks 


James  Dittes,  Accent  Editor 


I  simply  love  tunnels.  There's 
something  aboul  walking  through  dark- 
ness, peering  at  the  faint  light  at  the 
end,  and  knowing  there  is  nowhere  (o 
go  but  forward  that  brings  out  the 
adventurer  in  me. 

Anyone  who  has  been  to  my  house 
in  Portland,  Tennessee,  would  appre- 
ciate my  fascination.  My  sister,  Julie, 
and  I  have  fed  several  groups  to  a  tiny 
town  nearby  called  South  Tunnel, 
where  two  train  tunnels  penetrate  the 
Highland  Rim  in  the  L&N  railroad's 
descent  into  Nashville, 

I'm  happy  to  say  that  I've  never 
been  trapped  in  these  tunnels  when  a 
train  came  through,  although  1  have 
anticipated  how  1  would  press  up 
against  the  wall  when  one  did  come 
through,  or  lie  down  to  keep  from 
being  sucked  underneath  the  train. 

There  have  been  a  few  close  calls. 
Once  a  helicopter  flew  overhead,  fill- 
ing the  tunnel  with  the  sound  of  a  train. 
Another  time  my  friends  and  I  heard  a 
train  whistle  and  hurried  out  just  be- 
fore it  arrived. 

But  the  scariest  time  of  all  was 
when  the  light  at  the  end  of  the  tunnel 


blinked.  I  s 


xplai 


walking  blindly  along  the  railroad 
tracks,  focusingon  the  faint  light,  when 
it  suddenly  disappeared.  I  remember 
the  feeling  of  panic  I  had,  one  that  told 
me  in  that  instant  there  was  nowhere  to 
run  to,  nowhere  to  hide  before  the  train 

Oddly,  just  as  quickly  as  the  light 
had  gone  out  it  came  back.  I  still  can't 
explain  what  happened,  neither  can  I 
forget  that  feeling  of  helplessness. 

During  Spring  Break  the  light  ai 
the  end  of  my  tunnel  blinked.  I  spent 
the  week  in  a  hospital  bed  recovering 
from  brain  surgery.  I  had  gone  into 
surgery  Tuesday  anticipating  a  fast 
recovery.  The  tunnel  which  was  my 
healing  process  told  me  I  would  be 
back  on  my  feet  on  Thursday  and  go 
home  Friday.  And  all  I  would  have  to 
show  for  it  would  be  a  light  scar  and  a 
shaved  head. 

That  was  before  the  light  blinked. 

I  woke  up  Tuesday  afternoon  in 
the  intensive  care  unit  with  electrodes 
taped  across  my  chest,  tubes  leading 
out  of  different  essential  body  parts 
and  a  neck  1  could  not  move  to  save  my 
life.  The  surgery  had  taken  three  hours. 
But  there  were  no  complications,  and 


the  light  at  the  end  of  the  tunnel  v 


still  ii 


sight. 


The  complications  had  been  re- 
served for  my  recovery.  As  my  cer- 
ebellum expanded  to  fill  the  area  pre- 
viously occupied  by  a  cyst,  nerve  cen- 
ters became  active.  I  was  wracked 
with  nausea  and  hiccups  which  kept 
me  in  ICU  for  an  extra  day. 

Later,  on  another  wing,  I  found  the 
anesthesia  had  left  me  without  any 
energy.  Spending  five  minutes  with 
my  girlfriend,  Jenny,  or  with  my  pas- 
tor would  leave  me  exhausted;  so 
would  getting  out  of  bed  to  pee  into  my 
bedpan. 

That  was  the  day  the  light  at  the 
end  ofmy  tunnel  blinked.  Mystrength 
was  sapped.  I  couldn't  imagine  ever 
running  or  walking  or  eating  food 
again.  I  was  psychologically  black 
and  blue;  and  with  no  light  to  follow, 
I  was  lost  in  the  tunnel  which  was  my 
only  path  to  recovery. 

I  searched  for  strength  in  God,  but 
felt  too  weak  to  call  on  Him  until  my 
thoughts  fell  upon  two  of  my  favorite 
Bible  texts.  Both  told  me  I  needed  to 
wait.  "Those  who  wait  upon  the  Lord 


will  renew  their  strength,"  says  t 
prophet  Isaiah.  "They  shall  mc 
on  wings  as  eagles;  they  will  n 
not  grow  weary,  they  will  walkandnl 
faint."  David,  in  Psalms  40.  1 ,  brinl 
the  waiting  even  closer  to  home: 
•waited  patiently  for  the  Lord. 
turned  and  heard  my  cry." 

So  I  waited.    I  let  God  press  ri 
against  the  walls  of  the  tunnel  a 
huge  freight  train  of  depressior 
weakness  rumbled  by.  Someiin 
still  seems  that  train  is  still  rumbling] 

What  do  you  do  when  the  light  1

went  from  door  to  door  telling  about

the  student  faculty  homes  along

about  10-15  people  at  a  time  used  the

Robertson  to  teach 
Russia  a  new  song 

Music  Dept.  Chair  leaves  soon 
for  Zaokski  Seminary 


r£< 


By  James  Dittes 


Dr.  Marvin  Robertson  is  going  to 

So  what  else  is  new? 

Robertson  and  his  wife,  Jeanne, 
leave  March  30  for  the  Adventist 
Seminary  in  Zaokski,  Russia.  This 
time  he  won't  take  a  music  group 
with  him,  but  he  does  hope  to  bring 
something  back. 

"Any  time  you  are  immersed  in 
another  culture  you  learn,"  said 
Robertson.  "You  are  changed  by 
that  culture." 

At  Zaokski  Robertson  will  teach 
a  course  in  hymnology  and  protcs- 
tant  church  music  history,  advise  the 
college  as  it  prepares  its  music  cur- 
riculum, and  work  in  faculty  devel- 
opment. He  also  looks  forward  to 
working  with  the  college  choir. 
"They  have  an  extremely  fine  choir 
and  an  extremely  fine  director,"  said 
Robertson.  "1  learn  mure  about  Rus- 


sian music  from  them." 

Times  have  changed  in  Russia 
since  Robertson  took  his  first  group 
loRussiain  1982.  Leonid  Brezhnev 
was  in  power.  Communism  held 
Eastern  Europe  in  an  iron  grip,  and 
the  men  of  Die  Meistersinger  were 
under  constant  surveillance. 

In  1987  on  another  Die 
MeisiLTsmger  tour,  Robertson  noted 
new  signs  of  hope.  Gorbachev  and 
pcrestroika  were  the  new  watch- 
words, and  hope  was  in  the  air.  Even 
the  streets  which  had  been  a  drab, 
communist  grey  in  1 982  showed  new 
signs  of  life  with  colorful  neon  lights 
along  many  thoroughfares. 

But  by  Robertson's  last  trip  ear- 
lier this  year,  he  noted,  the  signs  of 
hope  were  dwindling.  "The  despair 
[in  Russia]  is  deepening,"  said 
Robertson.  The  value  of  a  Russian 
ruble,  which  in  1987  traded  at  4  to  6 
on  the  dollar,  has  fallen  to  600  on  the 
dollar.  For  instance,  said  Robertson, 


a  is  nothing 


a  teacher  at  Zaokski  Seminary  gets 
lO.OOOrublesamonth.  InAmerican 
currency  that  equals  about  $28. 

"There  is  a  lot  to  just  taking  care 
oflifethere,"saidRobertson.  Wash- 
ing clothes  will  be  a  real  chore,  as 
will  sharing  a  kitchen  down  the  hall 
with  other  families  and  boiling  water 
to  purify  it.  "Life  is  in  some  ways  is 
so  much  more  complex  than  here  just 
because  they  don't  have  the  conve- 
niences we  have  here." 

One  of  the  main  amenities  the 
Robertsons  will  take  with  them  to 
Russia  will  be  food.  "Food  is  hard  to 


International  Week:  unity,  under- 
standing and  an  extravaganza

Put  on  some  church  clothes  and

Sunday  evening  for  the  price  of  a 
bargain  haircut. 

Southern  College  International 
Club  will  be  host  the  10th  annual 
International  Extravaganza  at  6:30 
p.m.,  March  28,  in  the  cafeteria. 

Tickets  are  eight  dollars  for  stu- 
dents, and  arc  on  sale  in  the  cafe  this 
week.  Students  may  charge  up  to 
two  tickets  on  their  cafeteria  bill. 

Community  residents  arc  also 
invited.  They  pay  ten  dollars,  and 
may  purchase  tickets  at  the  Village 
Market  and  the  SC  Education  office. 

"The  Extravaganza  should  be 
an  experience  for  all  to  enjoy,"  said 
th  club's  Public  Relations  Director 
Jennifer  Swackhamcr. 

First,  a  buffet  featuring  interna- 
tional dishes,  such  a  Spanish  rice  and 
Creek  salad,  will  satisfy  the  heartiest 
of  appetites. 

After  the  meal,  the  guests  will 
enjoy  a  cultural  program  of  instru- 
mental and  vocal  music,  folk  bands, 
skits,  and  other  performances. 


"Everybody  who  comes  to  the 
Extravaganza  will  enjoy  the  skits, 
the  parade  of  flags,  and  the  food," 
saidTreasurerEddyCaballero.  "It's 
a  small  window  into  the  world." 

"The  entertainment  will  be  a 
delight,  not  only  educational,  but  also 
fun,"  said  Tami  Burch,  club  Vice- 
President.  "Guests  will  Ieam  things 
about  fellow  students  and  their  heri- 
tage that  most  people  don't  know." 

Stephen  Ruf,  a  WDEF-TV  chan- 
nel  21  reporter,  will  host  the  evening 
performances. 

International  Week  has  several 
specific  global  purposes,  one  of 
which  is  the  promotion  of  cultural 
understanding  and  international 
friendship  among  students  and  com- 
munity, said  International  Club  spon- 
sor Ben  Bandiola. 

Deeper  still  lies  the  motive  of 
the  church.  "Through  the  week's 
chapel  on  Thursday,  and  the  atmo- 
sphere of  the  Extravaganza,  the  In- 
ternational Club  is  stressing  the  uni- 
versality of  the  Gospel,"  said  the 
club's  Pastor,  Travis  Patterson. 
'God's 'love  goes  round  the  world'!" 

"Our  church  is  a  global  church, 
and. .  .we  are  preparing  second  gen- 


eration workers  who  will  be  faced 
with  the  challenge  of  diversity  and 
how  to  promote  unity  in  the  midst  of 
diversity," saidBandiola.  "Working 
together  on  a  project  like  the  Interna- 
tional Extravaganza  is  an  excellent 
opportunity  to  promote  this  unity."

The  SCSA,  who  is  funding  the 
$7,000  project  was  wanting  it  to  be

hope  it  will  be  in  by  the  end  of  the

p  Shannon  Pitman 


Weeks  of  Prayer  are  awesome, 
but  what  happens  afterward?  Spiri- 
tual highs  from  the  week  before  seem 
easy  to  forget.  The  Devil  works  his 
hardest  to  cause  failure  after  a  great 
spiritual  victory.  He  wants  the  Chris- 
tian to  feel  all  alone  and  give  up.  But 
that's  not  true!  Here  at  SC,  we  have 
small  group  Bible  studies  where  we 
can  go  to  give  and  receive  encour- 
agement. 

However,  why  stop  with  South- 
em  College?  Why  not  reach  youth 
while  they  are  in  academy?  That  is 
where  YES  {Youth  Experiencing  Sal- 
vation) ministry  started  with  three 
goals: 

1.  To  instill  in  young  people  the 
desire  to  know  the  Lord  in  a  personal 

2.  To  facilitate  the  formation  of 
small  group  Bible  study  for  support 
and  inductive  Bible  study. 

3.  To  train  the  leadership  among 
these  youth  to  lead  Bible  study  group 
ministries  in  their  own  individual 
schools. 

Sounds  simple,  doesn't  it?  Just 
like  God  had  a  hand  in  the  planning? 
He  did.

idea  that  this  would  happen  when  he 
became  the  leader  of  "Just  to  Know 
Him."  It  all  started  when  he  went  to 
the  International  Small  Group  Bible 
Study  Conference  at  Cohutta  Springs. 
There,  he  meet  two  students  from 
Ozark  Academy.  Excited  about 
their  interest,  he  talked  to  them  and 
encouraged  them.  About  two  weeks 
later,  he  received  a  phone  call  from 
the  chaplain  at  their  school  asking 
him  to  come  and  help  set  up  small 
group  Bible  studies.  After  Tom  had 
just  finished  praying  about  it,  Ray 
Descalso  walked  in. 

To  make  a  long  story  short,  Ray, 
Tom  and  Beth  Corrigan  have  visited 
four  academies  setting  up  Bible  study 
groups.  Recently,  joined  by  Garren 
Carter,  they  have  been  hired  by  the

living  in  the  time  of  the  end  and  the 
youth  of  our  church  will  take  upon  a 
leadership  position."  Let's  all  pray 
for  YES  ministry  to  be  even  more 
successful  In  the  future  than  when  ii 
started.  We  need  to  reach  the  youth 
while  they  are  still  in  our  schools  to

"As  the  deer  panteth  for  streams  of  water,  so  my  soul  pants 
for  you,  O  God."  Psalm  42.1 

The  spiritual  life  can  be  lived  in  as  many  different  ways  as  there  are 
people.  And  in  this  hectic  pace  of  life,  juggling  work  and  school  schedules, 
family  demands,  ministry  expectations  and  people  challenges,  I  need  a 
"constant"  in  my  life.  Thus  I  seek  to  put  myself  completely  under  the 
influence  of  Jesus  Christ,  by  praying  for  opportunities  to  be  in  the  presence 
of  Jesus  every  waking  moment.  It  is  a  relatively  simple  idea  that  has 
profound  implications.  My  heart'sdesire  is  to  practice  the  presence  of  Jesus 
and  to  obey  Him  in  every  way  I  can.  For  today,  I  will  make  a  c 
decision  to  choose  that  which  draws  me  more  deeply  in 
my  Savior— nothing  more,  nothing  less,  nothing  else.

Stop  BeUyachingin  Cafe 

Sir: 

I  am  aware  that  most  students  at  Southern  have  plenty  of  complaints 
about  the  cafeteria.  In  my  several  years  working  at  the  cafeteria,  I  have  heard 
complaints  about  the  quality  of  the  food,  the  size  of  the  portions,  hair, 
insects,  and  prices  (of  course!).  From  my  perspective  as  a  worker  on  the 
other  side  of  the  deck,  I've  noted  a  few  things  which  would  make  our  lives 
easier.  I  can't  solve  all  your  cafeteria  complaints,  but  I'd  like  to  give  a  few 
suggestions  to  help  the  cafeteria  experience  go  a  little  more  smoothly. 

1.  Speak  up.  When  there  is  a  crowd  in  the  serving  area,  it's  hard  to  hear 
one  person.  Sometimes  it's  hard  to  understand  what  is  asked  for — especially 
if  we  have  peas,  beans,  and  beets.  If  the  server  clearly  understands  what  you 
want,  the  service  will  be  faster  and  moire  accurate.  If  you  don't  know  the 
name  of  the  item,  try  to  do  more  than  just  say  "that  stuff  or  "those." 
Demonstrative  pronouns  are  rather  vague.  Be  descriptive — "that  orange 
stuff  is  much  better. 

2.  Point  obviously.  If  you  don't  want  tosay  anything  you  can  point. but 
do  it  right.  When  you  point  at  the  end  of  the  tray  of  food  on  your  side,  the 
server  cannot  see  your  finger  !x\  ause  the  deck  hood  is  in  the  way.  Make  sure 
we  can  see  your  point. 

3.  Be  cheerful.  Servers  are  only  human.  We  make  mistakes,  we  have 
bad  days,  and  we  appreciate  sou  les  as  much  as  anyone.  Besides,  when  you 
make  a  good  impression  we  are  more  likely  to  give  you  the  best  service  we 

4.  Remember  that  most  servers  arc  only  servers — they  don't  cook  the 
food,  so  they  don't  know  what's  in  it.  Reading  the  menu  can  tell  you  asmuch 
as  asking  a  worker  whu  only  comes  in  to  scoop  the  food  onto  the  plates.

Sir: 

The  other  day  I  experienced  an  unfortunate  predicament  while  reluming 
on  an  innocent  trip  to  Golden  Gallon  to  help  a  fellow  student  in  distress.  My 
reliableautomobiledecidedtoplayanastytrick-  itquit.  Asluckwouldhavf 
it  the  only  place  to  move  the  vehicle  out  of  traffic  was  a  private  driveway 

Well,  I  was  due  at  work  in  one  hour,  I  began  the  short  trek  back  fc. 
Southern.  As  I  made  my  way  back,  I  was  rescued  by  another  fellow  student 
After  I  got  off  work  at  1 1 : 1 5, 1  received  permission  from  the  dean  to  go  anc 
retrieve  my  destitute  car-my  reasoning  being  to  get  it  off  the  priv 
property. 

I  arrived  at  approximately  1 1:25  at  the  cite  of  misfortune  (little  did 
know  I  would  become  a  victim  of  police  harassment).  My  buddy  and 
attempted,  in  the  dark,  to  hook  a  tow  cable  to  my  car.  After  20  minutes  v 
realized  our  efforts  were  in  vain  and  we  decided  to  return  in  the  mominj 

At  this  very  moment  our  fearless  Collegedale  police  force  arrived  just 
time  to  help,  but  help  was  the  farthest  thing  from  the  police  woman's  min 
She  stepped  out  from  amidst  bright  lights  and  impressive  radio  sounds  toa 
us  our  business.  I  proceeded  to  explain  to  her  that  I  realized  my  vehicle  w 
on  private  property  and  was  attempting  toremoveit.  Weaskedifshecou 
lend  some  assistance  by  shining  her  1000  sun  powered  flashlight  undent 
car.  She  ignored  our  request  by  askingforl.D.  IknewthatI  wasinforalon 
night  when  she  began  to  run  my  license  number  and  tag  number. 

My  cop  friend  began  to  question  me  as  to  why  I  had  removed  the  pul 
out  radio  and  placed  it  in  my  friend's  car.  I  explained  that  we  had  decide 
to  return  in  the  morning  and  I  didn't  want  it  to  be  stolen.  She  asked  why 
wasn't  taking  the  rest  of  the  stereo  equipment,  I  relayed  that  it 


She  then  asked  if  I  went  to  Southern  College  and  why  I  wasn't  in  ll 
dorm  at  this  hour.  I  gave  three  reasons:  I'm  a  senior  and  it's  not  my  curfe 
at  1 1 :45,  I'm  a  RA,  and  I  had  permission  from  the  dean. 

The  officer  started  giving  me  problems  about  whether  or  not  the  c 
belonged  to  me.  Of  course  our  trusting  police  officer  wouldn't  believe  ala 
abiding  citizen  who  was  trying  to  remove  his  property  off  of  someone  else 
personal  property.  The  police  lady  harassed  me  for  the  next  15  to  20minuU 
Why  did  you  move  the  radio?  Is  this  your  car?  Who  is  it  registered  to? 

I  feel  that  these  questions  would  be  appropriate  if  I  were  out  by  the  ( 
with  a  coat  hanger  frantically  trying  to  get  in  or  if  I  were  hot  wiring  the  c

I  had  always  pictured  police  officers  riding  up  in  their  blue  uniform 
my  rescue  as  a  private  citizen  in  need.  Maybe  this  is  just  a  fooli 
misconception  I've  gleaned  from  the  evils  of  television.  The  real 
was  receiving  was  that  of  a  miniature  Rodney  King  video,  of  being  frisk 
and  sent  to  the  hard  cold  cell  of  downtown  Collegedale. 

The  real  letdown  for  me  was  that  it  had  been  harassed  by  the  si_. 
cop  last  school  year.  Don't  they  teach  police  etiquette  in  police  academ 
Maybe  I  should  invest  in  the  Police  Academy  series  and  send  it  downtou

The  Color  ofLove 

AccentcorrespondentSabineVatel  examines  several  interracial  dating 
relationships  and  what  they  say  about  the  way  to  love. 


.patio  Harmon  and  Anthony  Neely 


Senior  music  major  Anthony  Neely  and  Jada  Harmon,  a  : 
[ion  major,  met  at  Southern  (wo  years  ago.  Their  chemistry  is  unmistakable. 
While  one  speaks,  the  other  listens  attentively,  often  with  argument,  but 
always  with  respect. 

They  speak  carefully.  They  are  both  attractive  and  bright.  ButJadais 
White  and  Anthony  is  Black.  Didn't  they  worry  about  what  people  would 

"That's  something  I  never  even  thought  about."  says  Jada.  "My  family 
is  interracial,  and  I  just  didn't  give  a  thought  about  what  people  would  say 
when  I  held  hands  with  a  Black  man.  In  fact,  I  didn't  even  notice  until  I  came 
down  here  [from  Michigan]." 

"No  matter  what  you  do,  people  have  something  to  say,"  adds  Anthony. 
He  smiles  a  tittle  and  continues.  "I  guess  I  gave  them  one  more  thing  [to  talk 
about].  Ultimately  you  have  to  live  with  the  choice  you  make.  You  cannot 
be  so  dependent  on  public  opinion." 

Friends  are  people  too.  Do  they  talk? 

Jada  and  Anthony  look  at  each  other.  Jada  softly  shakes  her  head.  "I 
haven't  lost  any  friends  over  her,"  says  Anthony. 

What  about  their  parents? 

"No  problem,"  says  Anthony.  "Their  only  concern  was  the  type  of 
person  she  is — and  I  do  see  her  as  a  person." 

Then  what  should  'people  who  talk'  know  about  what  it's  like  in  an 
interracial  relationship? 

"People  have  a  harder  time  dealing  with  a  Black  and  White  couple," 
admits  Jada.  "But  no  one  is  a  hundred  percent  one  race.  People  who  are 
against  [interracial  dating]  are  not  just  one  race  themselves." 

Anthony  nods  his  head  in  agreement.  "Life  is  short,"  he  says.  "If  you 
are  fortunate  enough  to  love  someone  who  truly  cares  for  you,  don't  throw 
your  chance  at  happiness  just  because  of  what  the  person  looks  like."

looks,  yes.  and  in  personality  too.  As  they  hold  eacr 
while  Tarts  i:\uheranil)  grins  ami  waves,  "Hola!" 

Racially  Vernon  is  .  .  .  "Mixed,"  says  Vernon. 

Mixed? 

Vemon  laughs;   "My  dad  is  Chinese  and  Jami 
English." 

Taris  is  a  little  easier  to  trace.  "I'm  a  Puerto  Rican!"  she  says  proudly. 

So  how  did  Taris's  Hispanic  friends  react  to  Vemon? 

Taris  laughs.  "They  though!  n  wasokav  There' sum  Unit  much  difference  between  us. 
I  was  raised  in  the  U.S.  and  he  in  Canada.  Some  friends  were  surprised  because  Ihey  thought 
he  was— well — dead."  Taris  laughs  again.  "He  is  ihe  phlegmatic  one,  but  me  . . ." 

Although  Taris  and  Vernon  have  known  each  other  since  attending  Southern  last  year, 
they  didn't  start  dating  uniil  this  semester    How  do  liieir  parents  feel? 

"They're  happy  about  it,"  states  Vemon.  "But  some  people  quote  the  biblical  text  thai 
warns  couples  not  to  be  'unequally  yoked  ( 1  Cor.  6:14)."  Vemon  continues.  "That  particular 
text  refers  to  one's  religion  It  ha-  mulling  lo  do  with  race.  Taris  and  1  do  share  the  same 
religion  although  we  don't  agree  on  everything.  At  least  we  have  a  religious  base." 

And  what  do  they  think  people  should  know  about  interracial  dating? 

"A  person'srace  shouldn't  dictate  who  you  like  ordon'tlike,"  says  Vemon.  "If  you  see 
someone  whose  chracieristics  appeal  to  you,  then  you  should  go  out  with  them.  Don't  limit 
yourself.  Race  shouldn't  change  what  you  it

Accent  Sports  with  Eric  Johnsoir 

Is  spring  really  here?  With  Southern  covered  by  almost  2  feet  of  snow 
only  10  days  ago,  a  lot  of  folks  aren't  really  sure  what  season  we  are  in. 
Well,  I  for  one  am  positive  that  spring  is  in  full  bloom,  and  I  have  to  look 
no  futher  than  Florida  to  verify  that  fact. 

Yes.it'sthattimeofyearagain.  The  cleats  get  dusted  off,  the  gloves 
come  out  of  the  closet,  and  the  multitude  of  predictions  as  to  who  will  win 
the  World  Series  are  in  every  sporting  magazine  around.  As  an  avid  sports 
fan,  I  enjoy  most  all  sports,  but  there  is  something  about  baseball  that  puts 
it  in  a  class  by  itself. 

Maybe  it  is  watching  Tom  Glavine  and  Doug  Drebek  battle  out  a  one- 
run  game  into  the  ninth  inning,  or  maybe  it  is  seeing  Barry  Bonds  send  yet 
another  towering  home  run  intoorbil.  1  really  can't  put  a  fingeron  just  one 
aspect  of  the  game  that  makes  me  love  it  so. 

Since  I  am  an  avid  Braves  fan,  several  people  have  approached  me  and 
asked  whether  the  Braves  will  finally  win  the  BIG  ONE,  or  if  they  will  fall 
short  yet  again.  Well,  I'm  not  going  to  make  any  rash  statements  about  the 
Braves  winning  it  all,  because  the  Braves  play  in  the  toughest  division  in 
baseball  and  anything  could  happen.  But,  with  the  addition  of  Greg 
Maddux,  I  will  say  that  the  Braves  will  be  nothing  short  of  spectacular! 

Yes,  baseball  is  here  again,  and  who  knows  what  the  final  outcome 
will  be,  but  this  sports  editor  is  glad  to  see  the  Boys  of  Si

Accent  Athlete  of  the  Week 
Scott  Bowes     r  ■ 


& 


By  James  Dittes 


Senior  P.E.  major  Scott  Bowes 
has  all  the  qualities  of  a  good  hockey 
player:  he's  fast,  he  knows  how  to 
handle  a  hockey  stick,  and  he's  Ca- 

That's  right,  before  Canadians  j 
owned  the  baseball  world — Bowes's  ; 
Softball  team  has  won  the  last  two  j 
All-NightSoftbajlTournaments,and  ] 
the  Toronto  Blue  Jays  dismissed  the  j 
Atlanta  Braves  last  fall  in  a  six-game 
World  Series — there  was  hockey. 

Bowes's  hockey  experience  goes 
way  back.  "It  started  with  my  dad," 
remembered  Bowes.  "We  would 
play  every  time  we  got  a  chance. 
Later,  I'd  play  in  the  street  after 
school,  in  the  basement,  and  against 
the  garage  door." 

When  he  was  younger,  Bowes 
dreamed  of  leaving  the  streets  and 
playing  for  his  favorite  team,  the 
Toronto  Maple  Leafs.  "A  lot  of 
Canadian  kids  grow  up  dreaming 
about  being  hockey  p!ayers;"he  said. 


"justlike  Americans  grow  updre 
ing  about  baseball  or  ba-sketKiij " 

Scott  Ramsay,  Bowes's 
mate  and  co-captain,  knows  aboul 
Bowes's  hockey  talents.    Boi 
scored  1 3  goals  in  his  first  two  in 
mural  games.  "His  defensive  skill  J 
pretty  much  stink,"  laughed  Ramsey! 
"but  he  has  a  good  shot  and  he  u 
people  well.  And  by  getting  a  Cuna-I 
dian  girlfriend,  Scott  has  Crystalize 
his  game."

Dancing  to  a  Different  Drum 

Leilani  Hortalez  gave  up  a  career  in  classical 
I  ballet  to  follow  God. 


I  by  Sabir 


;  Vatel 


Your  name  means  "flower  prin- 
Icess"  and  you  are  a  classical  ballet 
|  dancer. 

What  brings  you  to  Southern 
[College? 

Leilani  Hortalezdelicately  dips 
i  piece  of  pound  bread  into  her 
lyogurt. 

"God  does." 

She  swallows  the  soggy  pound 

ead.   "My  desert,"  she  says  al- 

ost  apologetically.  She  resolutely 

Imoves  her  head  to  the  side  and  her 

lid,  long  black  hair  flings  off  her 

;e.  "I  believe  that  the  Advendsts 

;  having  a  bigger  role  in  health 

I  these  days.  I  want  to  be  part  of  it 

|  and  minister  to  people." 

Leilani  is  a  freshman,  pre-res- 
I  piratory  therapy  major  going  into 
I  pre-dental— a  far  cry  from  classical 
She  rededicated  her  life  to 
I  God  during  a  crusade  in  Pennsyl- 
"The  problem  with  dancing 
I  during  the  Sabbath  created  a 


dicotomy  within  me,"  she  says. 
Two  loves.  A  love  for  dancing  and 
a  love  for  God. 

"I  couldn't  resolve  it  until  the 
crusades  opened  His  will  to  me." 

She  resolved  not  to  dance  dur- 
ing the  Sabbath.  Shecouldn'thave 
a  career  in  dancing  without  per- 
forming on  Friday  nights. 

When  Leilani  was  five,  the  doc- 
tor recommended  that  she  take  up 
ballet  to  correct  her  "overly  flex- 
ible back."  She  was  enrolled  in  the 
Royal  Academy  of  Dancing  in 
Malasia  where  her  family  was  sta- 
tioned. Her  parents  are  from  the 
Philippines.  Her  father  is  a  pilot  for 
a  Malasian  airline,  and  her  mother 
owns  a  slimming  salon.  Both  are 
Roman  Catholics. 

They  sent  her  to  a  convent  high 
school  in  the  Philippines,  and  she 
stayed  at  a  relative's  home.  They 
had  Seventh-day  Adventist  neigh- 

They  invited  hertotheirevening 
worships.    She  was  eleven  when 


she  embraced  Advent- 
ism,  but  she  was  afraid  to 
get  baptized  for  fear  of 
what  her  parents  might 
say.  When  her  parents 
returned  to  their  country, 
she  lived  with  them,  try- 
ing to  live  as  an  Adven- 
tist in  a  Roman  Catholic 
home  and  school. 

Leilani  raises  her 
slim,  brown  arms  in  the 
air  and  slowly  shrugs  her 
shoulders.  "At  school," 
she  says,  "my  Christian 
doctrine  teacher  had 
mixed  feelings  about  me  since  I 
knew  a  lot  about  the  Bible.  Some- 
times I  had  real  low  scores.  Some- 
times real  high  ones." 

She  passed  the  class  with  an 
above  average  mark. 

Afterhigh  school,  she  took  time 
off  to  concentrate  on  a  promising 
careerin  ballet,  "But  God  had  other 

She  is  adjusting  to  collie  life.

"It  feels  so  unreal." 

She  cries  out  "aie!"  and  her 
body  follows  the  rhythm  of  her 
laughter.  "Maybe  1...  I'm  unfitted 
for  normal  life." 

Leilani  is  suddenly  quiet.  She 
misses  ballet  and  dances  on  her 
own  sometimes.  "I  still  love  bal- 
let," she  says  as  if  speaking  to  her- 
self now,  "but  I  want  to  put  Him 
and  His  kingdom  above  all  things."

News  of  the  Weird 


by  Chuck  Shepherd 

LEAD  STORV 

The  Pryor.  Okla.,  Daily 
Times  reported  recently  thai  autop- 
sies on  a  minnow  and  a  flea,  which 
the  city  used  to  test  the  quality  of 
discharge  from  its  waste-treatment 
plant,  might  cost  the  city  from 
$100,000  to  5200,000.  Tests  are 
required  by  the  slaleand  federal  gov- 
ernments to  ascertain  whether  the 
minnow  and  the  flea  died  from  natu- 
ral causes  or  from  a  problem  with  the 
discharge. 

THE     ENTREPRENEURIAL 
SPIRIT 

In  January.  New  York 
Newsday  reported  that  a  "thriving" 
gun  rental  business  was  operating  in 
a  Brooklyn  housing  project.  Ac- 
cording to  police,  the  market  price 
was  $20  a  night  for  a  9mm  gun,  but 
rose  10  $100  if  Ihe  gun  was  used  lo

Danville.  Va.,  inventor  David 
Bivens,  who  has  developed  large. 
irrigated  brushes  for  washing  cars 
and  trucks .  told  the  Chicago  Tribune 
in  November  that  he  had  developed 
such  a  device  for  washing  people.  A 
person  stands  next  to  the  brush  and 
rubs  against  it  as  it  makes  90  to  120 
revolutions  per  minute,  flicking  off 
dirt. 

The  official  China  Daily 
newspaper  reported  in  December  that 
consumers  were  buying  "millions" 
of  Westem-style  Christmas  cards — 
even  though  many  Chinese  do  not 
understand  what  the  holiday  mes- 
sages mean.  "Merry  Christmas, 
Happy  New  Year  and  Season 's  Greet- 
ings," wrote  the  newspaper,  "are 
becoming  household  words  in 
China."

inventor  in  Southern  California  re- 
cently began  marketing  the  Puppy 
Didy  diaper  for  dogs. 

In  November,  Housion  judge 
Jim  Barkley,  51,  quietly  closed  his 
part-time  business.  For  several 
weeks,  according  lo  courthouse  em- 
ployees, Barkley  had  been  operating 
a  golf  wear  haberdashery  in  his  of-

Fry,  24,  says  Twitty,  58,  is  his  son. 

Model  Cindy  Crawford  told 
a  feminist  conference  at  Princeton

Crawford.  Believe  me,  I  don't  want 
to  look  at  my  naked  body  in  a  three- 
way  mirror  any  more  than  you  do." 

In  January,  opera  singer 
Luciano  Pavarotii  was  accused  by 
the    author  of  a  1972  art  book  of 


copying  her  drawings  and  offering 
them  for  sale  under  his  name.  One

Here  we  are  on  the  Friday  after 
^s  area  was  devastated  on  March 
13-l5by  "The  Storm  of  the  Century" 
jta.  "The  Blizzard  of  '93."  There 

jsn'tmuch  activity  on  the  sidewalks 
tol  passed  a  list  around  in  Principles 
of  Biology  class.  Several  students 
Ksponded  to  the  question:  "What 
jjs  the  most  interesting,  crazy, 
grange,  or  silly  thing  you  did  during 
de  Blizzard  of  '93?"  Here  are  some 
oflhesubmissions:  Sophia Sowards 
(from  Juneau,  AK)  went  sliding  on 
afeteria  plastic  trays  and  wondered 
riial  weird  thing  SC  students  would 
dink  up  next  for  fun;  Shari  Wolcott 
([torn  Auburn,  WA)  performed  in 
jieSound  of  Music,  had  stage  make- 
beaked  on  her  face  but  had  no  water 
Dwashitoff — Yuk!;  Donna  Phillips 
(from  Nashville,  TN)  cooked  a  can 
ofSpaghetti-O's  over  the  flame  of  a 
candle;  John  Rinehofer  (from 
Coilegedale,  TN)  was  building  a 
now  wall  on  a  hill  when  the  light- 
ing flashed,  and  at  that  instant  the 
now  turned  a  vivid  violet;  Heather 
Me  (From  Silver  Spring,  MD)  res- 
ted a  policeman  plus  his  prisoner 
tilh  her  Cheyenne  truck — the  po- 

Calvin  and  Hobbes 


liceman  made  the  prisoner  push  on 
the  back  of  the  car  but  the  wheels 
were  just  spinning  until  Heather 
hooked  up  her  truck  to  the  police  car; 
Joy  Zollinger  (from  Dayton,  TN)  sat 
in  a  hot  tub  until  she  got  steamed, 
then  went  out  dressed  in  a  bathing 
suit  and  rolled  in  the  snow— Oh  me! 

Everyone  has  his  own  story  to 
tell  about  survival  in  this  catastrophic 
event — 24  inches  of  snow  on  the 
level,  drifts  up  to  six  feet  deep,  thou- 
sand of  downed  trees,  massive  power 
failures,  no  telephone  service,  no 
water,  thunder  and  lightning  during 
the  terrible  blizzard  white-out,  de- 
structive winds  of  50-65  mph.  Itwas 
truly  an  awesome  time.  It  was  also  a 
beautiful  (photographers  had  the 
makings  of  hundreds  of  Christmas 
scenes),  scary,  neighbor-helping- 
neighbor,  stressful,  remarkable  time, 
and  of  course,  don't  forget  to  pur- 
chase your  "I  Survived  the  Blizzard 
of  '93"  t-shirt! 

But,lifegoeson.  So,  now  on  this 
suddenly  warm,  humid  Monday  af- 
ternoon (65  degrees),  let'sstroll  down 
to  Brock  Hall  and  see  what's  stirring. 
The  goldfish  in  the  fountain  pool  are 


by  Bill  Waftereon 


almost  a  scarlet  color  (what  are  they 
feeding  these  Fish?)  but  the  fountain 
isn't  working,  neither  is  the  Campus 
Clock— it's  taking  a  long  time  for 
that  motor  to  get  here  from  Cincin- 
nati. Oh,  look-there's  Dr.  Floyd 
Greenleaf  striding  purposefully  along 
the  lower  sidewalk — I  wonder  what 
academic  pursuits  he's  been  up  to! 
In  the  region  of  the  Alcove,  Harry 
Hodgkins.  one  of  the  Grounds  Dept. 
supervisors,  was  checking  out  tree 
and  shrubbery  damage.  He  told  me 
that  they  planned  to  remove  the  blue 
plastic  liner  from  the  creek  and  make 
things  more  "au  naturelle."  And 
here  emerging  from  the  Garden  of 
Prayer  are  Steve  Self  (from  Paradise, 
CA)  and  Greg  Camp  (from  Orlando, 
FL).  Steve  was  carrying  two 
bleached-out  daffodils  which  he  was 
planning  to  give  his  girlfriend, 
Heather  Belles — he  also  had  a  red 
jacket  suspended  on  his.  Greg  ad- 
mitted that  he  didn't  know  what  he 
was  doing  or  where  he  was  going 
(psychologists,  take  notice). 

And.  .  .here's  Beth  Mills  (from 
Charlotte,  NC)  in  a  fuchsia  sweater 
with  notebook  to  match ;  she  had  just 


attended  Music  Theory  class  and  was 
on  her  way  to  work  with  Special 
Academic  Services  in  the  Library. 
Ran  into  Cindv  Willey  (from 
Bentonville,  AR)  clad  in  blue— ev- 
erything. She  was  on  her  way  to 
correct  papers  in  Spalding  Elemen- 
tary School.  Then  here's  LoriBover 
(from  Alamo,  TX)  clad  in  long  flow- 
ered dress;  while  I  was  seated  on  a 
bench  opposite  the  "triangle  flower 
bed"  she  walked  the  full  length  of  th 
promenade  at  least  five  times.  I 
asked  her  what  she  was  doing  and 
she  replied  with  a  straight  face,  "I 
walk  people  to  class." 

Now  here's  an  odd  sight  for  the 
second  day  of  spring:  over  by  Miller 
Hall  there's  a  huge  bank  of  slowly 
melting  snow  and  across  the  side- 
walk hundreds  of  daffodils  waving 
in  the  breeze  and  the  ground  cover 
consists  of  myriads  of  violets.  The 
sign  on  the  west  side  of  the  Music 
Building  sort  of  humorously  sums 
up  recent  events:  "Mounds  of  Snow. 
.  .March  13-15. .  .Reserved  Seats. . . 
Tickets  on  Sale."  And. . .  that's  how 
it  was  in  March,  1993.

How  I  became  a  Republican 

James  Dittos,  Accent  Editor 


Conversion  stories  are  always 
exciting,  not  only  to  tell,  but  also  to 
report.  No  matter  who  is  converted, 
there  is  invariably  some  aspect  of  the 
supernatural — some  mystical  qual- 
ity that  overwhelms  the  hearer  nearly 
as  strongly  as  it  does  the  teller  of  the 
tale. 


My  recent  'conversion'  to  Re- 
publicanism is  just  such  a  story — 
one  that  must  be  told  as  well  as 
experienced. 

On  a  recent  trip  home  I  watched 
The  Wizard  ofOz  for  the  umpteenth 
time.  I  get  something  new  out  of  a 
movie  every  time  I  see  it,  but  in  this 
viewingofOzIfoundreality.  When 
Dorothy  travels  through  the  dark  for- 
est she  finds  two  friends,  the  Tin 
Man  and  the  Lion.  Yet  when  she  gets 
out  into  the  meadow,  the  poppies  are 
sinister  drugs  which  put  her  to  sleep. 

That  always  seemed  backward 
tome.  Shouldn't  fields  be  warm  and 
friendly  and  forests  be  dark  and  sin- 
ister? Thenithitme.  I'd  been  seeing 
things  backward.  So  I  became  a 
Republican  right  there  on  the  spot. 

.-About  Accent 


I  hate  to  be  the  one  to  break  the 
news,  but  life  isn't  a  home  on  the 
range-where  the  deer  and  the  ante- 
lope play.  It's  really  a  deep  dark 
forest  full  of  lions  and  tigers  and 
bears  (oh  my).  Don't  worry  though, 
in  the  real  scheme  of  things  the  lions 
and  tigers  and  bears  are  the  good 
guys. 

Just  imagine  the  range:  so  vast, 
sopeaceful-sofeormg!  In  the  forest 
at  least  someone  is  in  control.  The 
lion  is  the  king  of  the  beasts  and  the 
tiger  and  the  bear  are  his  flesh-eating 
cronies.  The  deer  and  the  antelope 
don't  play  in  the  forest  They  work 
their  tails  of  f  like  any  other  subservi- 
ent animal — and  some  still  get  eaten! 

There  are  three  reasons  the  forest 
is  better  than  the  range: 

1.  Theirresponsible.playfuldeer 
and  the  roaming  buffalo  never  get 
outofhand.  If  they  do,  they  simply 
get  eaten.  Mostly,  though,  the  lions 
and  tigers  and  bears  only  chase  down 
the  crippled,  the  elderly  and  the  wel- 
fare mothers.  Instead  of  being  a 
burden  on  the  forest,  these  animals 


make  perfect  fodder  for  the  rulers  of 
the  forest.  As  for  the  youth  that 
wander  off,  they  are  left  to  the  mer- 
ciless vipers.  If  these  "services" 
weren't  provided  the  deer  and  the 
antelope  and  the  elderly  and  the  wel- 
fare mothers  would  have  it  too  easy, 
plus  there  wouldn't  be  enough  forest 
left  for  the  good  guys  (the  lions  and 
tigers  and  bears— oh  my).  They  are 
better  off  dead. 

2.  The  lions  and  tigers  and  bears 
aren't  subject  to  tree-hugging  envi- 
ronmentalists. As  managers  of  the 
forest,  they  supervise  the  cutting  of 
trees  and  their  trade  to  the  humans  on 
the  outside  for  oils  and  spices  to 
enhance  their  carnivorous  tastes. 
Once  a  human  came  to  the  forest  and 
said  the  rulers  were  destroying  their 
own  homes  as  well  as  the  habitat  of 
the  deer  and  the  antelope.  They  told 
him  he  couldn't  see  the  forest  for  the 

3.  What's  so  great  about  the 
range?  The  last  time  anyone  checked, 
there  wasn't  any  range  left.  The 
buffalo  are  gone,  and  the  deer  and  the 


antelope  are  on  the  way  out  thanks  id

the  long,  morning  hours  proofread- 

n  the  Accent  office  jusl  before

But  Acela,  a  sophomore  En-

To  get  an  accurate  description 
of  what  life  at  Accent  was  like  be- 
fore Acela  joined  in  November,  just 
imagine  what  it  was  like  for  the 
editors  proofreading  theirown  work 
when  they  finished  laying  out  the 
paper  at  around  4:30  a.m.,  only  to 
add  another  hour  and  a  half  copy 
editing.  Tired  eyes  are  not  the  best 
at  critiquing,  and  it  would  be  fair  to 
say  that  a  bushel  of  errors  met  the 
eye  with  each  of  Accent's  first  five

Tuesday  night, 

The  late  nights  aren  't  that  bad. 
"I  'm  learning  new  and  creative  uses 
of  the  English  language  through  the 
many  different  [and  strange]  styles 
of  Accent  writers,"  Acela  contin- 
ues. "Plus  I'm  developing  a  taste 
for  Perry  Como." 

This  year  at  Accent  the  only 
respite  from  computer  screens  and 
proof  pages  was  music-strange  mu- 
sic. Over  the  nights  our  little  boom 
box  has  played  every  singer  from 
Harry  Connick,  Jr.  to  Perry  Como 
to  Merle  Haggard  to  the  musical 
hoots  and  toots  of  Acela  "the  night 
owl"  Baglaj  doing  her  work 
very  early  hours.

Sabbath  afternoon,  Pong  and 
Andy  headed  to  the  church  for  the 
Annual  Organ  and  Orchestra  Con- 
cert. The  concert  consisted  of  two 
pieces:  Academic  Festival  Overture 
by  Brahms,  and  a  four  movement 
piece  by  Joseph  Jongen  in  the  style 
of  French  Impressionism. 

"I  have  really  enjoyed  playing  in 
the  Orchestra  this  year.  We  put  in  a 
lot  of  hours  for  this  performance,  and 
I  think  it  paid  off,"  said  Kimberly 
Brannan. 

Pong  accompanied  Andy  to  the 
Memorial  Auditorium  forGym-Mas- 
ters  Home  Show.  Southern  students, 
Gym-Master  family  members,  many 
Chattanooga  residents,  and  Pong 
crowded  into  the  auditorium  for  the 
unforgettable  performance. 

The  show  had  lots  of  variety. 
The  Beach  Party  routine  made  many 
laugh  as  Ricky  Hayes  surfed  across 
his  teammates.  The  Omni  routine,  a 
favorite  of  Pong's,  brought  many 
oohs  and  ahhs,  as  Gym-Masters  were 
thrown  through  the  air. 

This  was  the  first  year  that  Gym- 
Masters  performed  in  the  Memorial 
Auditorium.  "We  felt  like  we  could 
do  a  more  professional  job  with  the 
auditorium's  facilities."  said  Coach 
Ron  Jaecks. 

Pong  enjoyed  each  of  the  very 
special  groups  of  students  that  gave 
him  a  taste  of  what  Southern  is  all 
about.  Pong  said  good-bye  to  Andy 
and  his  new  friends  and  headed  back 
to  his  busy,  dusty  street  in  Thailand, 
his  wife  Ping,  and  the  next  issue  of

WSMC  is  under  renovation. 
"From  the  tip  of  the  microphone  to  the 
top  of  the  tower,"  said  Development 
Director  Jeff  Lemon. 

The  station  is  in  the  middle  of  a 
$410  thousand  upgrade  that  includes 
purchasing  a  new  air  board,  editing 
systems,  and  relocating  the  tower. 

WSMC  already  received  the  edit- 
ing systems  and  implemented  them. 
About  six  months  ago,  they  received  a 
Macintosh  Ilci  for  the  main  studio. 

This  computer  makes  the 
announcer's  job  less  hectic,  said  Rick 
Mann.  "Once  you  get  familiar  with 
the  equipment  you  can  do  things  much 
faster  with  only  the  click  of  a  button," 
said  Mann.  "It  also  sounds  better. 
You  don 't  have  to  mess  around  with  a 
bunch  of  cart  tapes." 

By  far,  the  largest  phase  of  reno- 
vation involves  the  relocation  of  the 
tower  from  White  Oak  Mountain  to 
Mabry  Mountain.  "So  far,  the  prop- 
erty on  Mabry  Mountain  has  been 
cleared  and  a  road  has  been  leveled." 
saidLandrum.  "We arecurrently  drill- 
ing as  weather  perm  its  to  find  out  what 
we'll  be  putting  the  tower  anchors 


sitting  on  a  base  18  feet  under  the 
ground  with  anchors  extending  an  ad- 
ditional 1 2  feel  below  the  base.  Since 
the  tower  is  so  tall,  part  of  it  can  be 
rented  out.  increasing  the  station's  rev- 
enue, said  Lemon.  Cellular  .phone 
companies  and  the  Electric  Power 
Board  are  just  a  few  of  the  businesses 
that  regularly  rent  sections  of  towers 
to  hang  their  antennas  on. 

So  far,  listeners  and  area  busi- 
nesses have  been  very  supportive  of 
WSMC's  tower  relocation  project  and 
other  pursuits.  In  fact,  "The  listeners 
requested  it  in  the  first  place,"  said 
lemon.  With  $30  thousand  left  to  raise 
however,  WSMC  will  have  to  seek 
new  funding  sources.  "All  of  our  old 
ones  are  pretty  much  given  out,"  said 
Lemon.  "We  are  working  with  foun- 
dations and  businesses  in  town  lo  raise 
that  money. 

The  new  equipment  will  provides 
valuable  experience  lor  students  inter- 
ested in  broadcasting.  "(Digital  edit- 
ing) is  the  way  the  industry  is  headed, 
and  WSMC  is  on  the  cutting  edge," 
said  Mann.  "Right  now,  I  can  walk 
into  any  other  station  and  say  that  I  not 
only  have  computer  experience,  but

By  the  year  2000,  WHO  estimates  that  40  million  people  world-wij 
will  be  infected  with  HIV.  The  Harvard  AIDS  Institute  calls  this  e 
:,  believing  there  will  be  10-  million  cases  by  2000. 


As  of  January,  1992  WHOestimales  that  7 1  %  of  all  HIV-infected  peo| 
were  exposed  to  the  virus  through  heterosexual  sex.  Over  the  next  5- 
years,  WHO  estimates  that  women  will  make  up  the  majority  of  n 
infection  rates. 

230,179  Americans  have  been  diagnosed  with  AIDS,  as  of  June  191 
If  the  CDC  revises  the  criteria  by  which  it  diagnoses  AIDS,  this  number  rr 
nearly  double. 

1 52, 1 53  Americans  have  died  of  AIDS  as  of  June,  1 992;  exceeding  tli 
total  deaths  in  Korea,  Vietnam,  Grenada,  Panama,  and  the  Gulf  WJ 
combined.  The  CDC  estimates  as  many  as  340,000  Americans  will  diedj 
AIDS-reiated  causes  by  the  end  of  1993. 

AIDS  is  the  second  leading  cause  of  death  among  men  25^14  years  ol 
second  only  to  injuries,  and  greater  than  heart  disease,  cancer  and  homicide! 


White  Americans  account  for  55%  of  all  adult  c

In  the  United  States,  the  median  survival  for  people  diagnosed  after  1 
and  receiving  AZT,  is  770  days.    For  those  not  receiving  AZT,  mediaj 
survival  is  140  days  after  diagnoses. 

From  1989  to  1 99 1 ,  the  number  of  reported  AIDS  cases  in  the  1 3-24  J^

I  thank  all  of  you  who  took  that  small  step  to  elect  me  as  the  Social  Vice-

To  all  the  student  body  I'm  "excited'  and  looking  forward  to  working  for

I  Remember  this  is  your  student  association. 

Next  year,  be  prepared  for  your  social  life  to  take  off  right  away.  Come

"If  you  have  done  it  u 
it  unto  Me." 

Southern  College  students  have  added  a  new  dimension  to  this  biblical 
admonition. 

A  local  radio  station  sponsors  a  free  movie  at  a  theater  ir 
This  is  a  popular  attraction  for  a  number  of  students.  The  eva 
popular  by  "free  gifts"  of  shirts,  caps,  posters,  t 
must  be  the  first  "fifty  or  so"  in  line. 

Recently  three  of  our  students  were  numbers  35-37  in  one  such  line.  In 
front  of  them  was  a  mother  with  three  small  boys.  Each  boy  was  eager  to  see 
the  movie,  but  equally  excited  to  get  baseball  caps.  The  line  starts  at  least 
two  hours  before  the  door  is  open.  As  you  can  imagine,  this  is  a  major 
imposition  on  the  time  of  busy  college  students. 

The  solution?  In  this  case  it  was  to  cut  in  line. 

Let's  complete  the  story.  Our  three  students  finished  in  90-92nd  place 
with  the  mother  and  the  three  boys  still  in  front  of  them  but  far  removed  from 
the  free  gifts.  Result:  three  broken-hearted  kids. 

Southern  College  students  are  easily  identifiable  within  the  commu- 
nity. What  kind  of  a  witness  was  this  to  our  fellow  man?  'Yes,  you  did  do 
it  to  the  least  of  these. '

WSMC  changes 
format 

Classical  station 
now  WMON 

[~|  X  Ry  VirEinia  Woolf  ) 
Southern  College  has  heard  the 
last  of  "That  was  Bach's  Sinfonia 
from  Cantata  No.  29"  as  WSMC 
changes  its  formal.  Chattanooga's 
Classical  Station  will  soon  be 
Chattanooga's  Reggae  Station,  fea- 
turing the  latest  Reggae  hits  and  the 
latest  news  from  the  Islands.  In  keep- 
ing with  the  new  format,  the  call 
letters  are  changing  to  WMON.  The 
station's  mission  is  to  reach  those 
who  are  stressed  and  mellow  them 

When  asked  the  reason  for  the 
change,  Doug  Walter,  General  Man- 
ager. s;udiial  koines  down  to  money. 
"Wc  just  couldn't  make  it  with  the 
greatest  hits  by  dead  guys,"  he  said. 
Program  Director,  Dan  Landrum, 
echoed  Walter's  sentiments.  "After 
studying  Arbitron  data,"  he  ex- 
plained, "we  found  the  Reggae  audi- 
ence in  the  tri-State  area  has  risen 
400%  in  the  last  year  due  to  an  influx 
of  carpet  workers  in  Dallon  and  bev- 
erage workers  in  Cartersville."  He 
seems  excited  about  the  new  format 
which  will  give  the  station  fresh  pro- 
grams and  new  possibilities. 

Sally  White,  a  member  of  the 
community,  is  upset  about  losing  her 
Classical  music.  "I  depend  so  much 
on  the  news,  and  I  always  listen  to  the 
music.  I  can't  believe  they're  taking 
my  station  away,"  she  whined.  For 
those  who  are  worried  about  the 
image  of  the  station  and  its  continu- 
ing mission  for  Chattanooga,  Sab- 
bath programming  will  stay  thesame 
except  for  a  few  old  stand-bys.  "Mu- 
sic for  Inspiration"  will  change  to 
"Music  of  Inhalation."  Other  pro- 
gram changes  include  "It  is 
braided,""Your  Dreadlock  Hour," 
and  "Hair  Talk." 

Rick  Mann,  Head  Announcer,  is 
looking  forward  to  a  relaxed,  flex- 
ible format  with  more  exciting  on-air 
shifts.  He  also  realizes  that  many 
hours  of  retraining  will  be  necessary 
for  the  announcers  who  have  learned 
Classical  music. 

Reggae  is  the  way  of  the  future, 
according  to  management  at  the  new 
WMON.  Thelocalcommunityseems 
ready  for  it,  so  bring  it  on,  Mon!

Men's  Dean  to  play  in 
iters  Tournament 


By  Skip  Caray 


Sportsmen  everywhere  are  talk- 
ing about  the  surprise  entry  in  this 
year's  Master's  Golf  Tournament  in 
Augusta,  Georgia. 

While  the  eyes  of  the  country 
were  focused  on  famous  PGA  golf- 
ers like  Nick  Faldo,  Fred  Couples 
and  Jack  Nicklaus,  this  year  the  man 
to  watch  is  Southern's  own  Ron 
Qualley,  head  dean  of  men. 

For  the  last  year  and  a  half, 
Qualley  has  been  secretly  working 
on  his  game  during  extended  dorm 
worships  led  by  Dean  Hobbs  and 
Alex  Bryan. 

"I  have  been  shooting  consis- 
tently two  and  three  below  par,"  said 
Qualley. 

He  attributes  much  of  his  suc- 
cess to  his  friend,  Ken  Rogers. 

"Rogers  has  been  a  big  help  to 
my  game,"  said  Qualley.    For  the 


help  Rogers  has  given  him,  Qualley 
will  take  him  along  to  Augusta  as  a 
caddy. 

When  asked  who  he  would  like 
to  be  paired  with  in  the  final  round, 
Qualley  answered,  "Jack  Nicklaus 
would  be  the  perfect  partner.  He  has 
been  my  favorite  golfer  since  I  in- 
vented the  sport  when  I  was  a  child." 

Qualley  feels  his  greatest 
strength  is  his  driving.  In  his  last 
five  rounds  he  has  averaged  375  yards 
per  drive. 

"Again,  Ken  has  been  a  HUGE 
help  in  my  driving  distance,"  said 
Qualley. 

At  the  Masters  this  year  the 
spectator  galleries  will  be  chanting 
"Long  Ron",  instead  of  "Long  John". 

Qualley  hopes  to  bring  the  vic- 
torious green  jacket  back  to  SC,  but 
he  isn't  too  worried.  "There's  always 
the  U.S.  Open,"  he  said.

haunts  are  somewhat  different  th; 
other  phantoms,  he  has  chosen 
haunt  the  Anton  Heilor  Memori 
Organ.  His  presence  has  been  t 
by  a  number  of  organ  students. 

"I  went  into  the  church  to  pra

These  and  numerous  other 
ports  of  sightings  of  the  Phanti 
reached  Judy  Glass  so  she  decided 
go  to  the  church  late  one  night  to 
for  herself  if  any  thing  out  of

"I  thought  my  students  were  pla;

I A  ministration  solves  parking  dilemma: 

I  Wright  Hall  to  become  two-level  parking  garage

Have  you  tried  Finding  a  parking

t  any.  A  new  plan  is  under 
I  discussion,  however,  that  may  open 
I  several  hundred  new  spaces. 

The  plan  is  simple.  By  August,

ugust  1996,  Wright  Hall  will  be  a

ir  over  three  hundred  cars. 

The  idea  for  this  came  when  a 

I  security  guard  could  not  find  a  park-     though  Wright  Hall  is  close  to  no  one

When  they  arrived  they  went 
hack  into  the  church  with  her.  Ev-

walked  behind  the  keyboards  of  the 
organ  and  looked  up  into  the  case.

"Luckily  he  had  only  done  r 


nor  damage,"  said  Glass.  A  number 
of  pipes  had  been  pulled  apart  and 
others  were  knocked  out  of  tune. 
While  the  Phantom's  motive  remains 
somewhat  unclear  Judy  Glass  devel- 
oped a  theory  to  explain  why  some- 
one would  tamper  with  the  organ. 
"We  picked  up  the  music  he  had 
crumpled  up.  It  was  the  sheet  music 
for  a  Van  Halen  song  called  "Jump". 
I  guess  he  wanted  to  play  it  on  the 
organ  and  when  it  didn't  sound  right 
he  tried  to  move  the  pipes  to  make  it 
sound  better.  It  didn't  work." 

No  further  sightings  of  the  Phan- 
tom have  occurred  since  his  encoun- 
ter with  Mrs.  Glass.  "I  hope  if  he 
come  back  he  will  have  developed 
better  taste  in  music,"  said  Glass.

Gym-Masters  -  A  Class  Act 

This  past  Saturday  evening,  I  was  able  to  attend  the  Gym-Masters 
Home  Show  at  Memorial  Auditorium.  I  thought  the  show  was  a 
success,  and  was  a  great  way  to  gel  their  message  about  saying  NO  to 
drugs  out  to  the  community.  But  one  thing  bothers  me,  it  seems  like 
a  lot  of  students  don't  appreciate  the  Gym-Masters  and  criticize  them 
for  being  "clique-ish". 

The  members  of  the  Gym-masters  practice  for  two  hours  a  night 
four  nights  a  week  for  seven  months  of  the  year,  and  quite  honestly,  I 
would  be  surprised  if  most  of  their  close  friends  weren't  on  the  team. 
But  the  fact  that  they  spend  so  much  time  together,  doesn't  mean  they 
only  associate  with  other  Gym-Masters.  I  for  one,  have  many  good 
friends  on  the  team. 

I  would  like  to  see  the  students  of  Southern  College  get  behind  this 
team  100%.  They  are  our  team  and  deserve  o_ur  support!

is  when  the  students  finally  acknowl-

The  teachers'  bell  rings.    Only 
ven  more  bells  logo!  The  first  thing 
do  upon  entering  the  classroom  is 
rite  a  quote  for  the  day  for  the  stu-

I  J  ^  WaS  Waiting  a11  wet*end  'o 
jl     }■    You  are  filling  our  minds  with 


your  mind  pollution." 

The  class  roars  with  laughter.  I 
give  him  my  "teacher"  look  and  he 
transforms  into  a  model  student  for  the 
restof  the  period.  Predictable,  another 
student  picks  up  his  friend's  cause  and 
demands  that  I  address  the  issue. 

"Do  you  want  to  wallow  in  your 
own  ignorance  for  the  rest  of  your 


student  math  teacher. 

We  all  nod  our  heads.  We  all 
understand. 

"No,  I  mean  really,"  says  Mich- 
elle. "Theyweremakinganimalnoises

Silently 

I  think  that  this  would  be  an  opportune 
time  to  introduce  the  concept  of  irony 
to  the  class. 

After  this  incident  classes  go 
smoothly.  Everyone  is  compa'hend- 
ing  the  lesson  for  today  and  all  of  the 
students  seem  to  be  totally  into  class 
lecture  and  discussion  when  one  of  my 
sweetest  students  in  third  period  raises 
her  hand  and  questions.  "Miss  Malek, 
will  you  explain  our  quote  for  today?" 
Nut  understanding  what  her  confusion 
could  be  over,  I  glance  up  to  the  board. 

Feeling  like  a  character  out  of  ani- 
mal farm,  I  stumble  to  explain  the 
quote  which  1  don't  quite  understand 
anymore.  It  now  reads. 
When  a  man  with  honey  meets  a  man 
with  experience,  the  man 

Iflf/iVA/VMtVli  I'llhiMtplVlllltht    tli  Uli.' V 

and  the  man  with  honey 
ends  up  with  experience. 
I  shoot  a  glance  towards  my  "devil's 
comer"  and  see  a  wide,  toothy  grin  on 
"Mohawk".  His  nickname  is  self  ex- 
planatory. He  licks  his  finger  and 
marks  another  point  in  the  air  for  his 
side.  Touche! 

Another  bell  rings  signalling  my 
lunch  break.  Half  way  to  dismissal! 
As  I  settle  down  to  eat  my  apple,  the 
othcrstudent  teachers  begin  to  recount 
their  colorful  stories  of  the  day. 

"My  third  period  was  a  zoo  to- 
day!" remarks  Michelle  Williams  a 


reproduction!  I  guess  that  would  be 
one  too!!" 

Laughing,  I  realize  how  boring  our 
lives  would  be  without  the  antics  of 
"our"  students.  1  really  am  becoming 
attached  to  them  now  that  I  have  learned 
all  130  names.  I  will  really  miss  them 
once  student  teaching  is  over. 

Another  bell  rings  and  it  is  back  to 
class.  Fifth  period  is  always  on  a  sugar 
and  caffeine  high,  draining  their  wal- 
lets on  the  vending  machines  during 


lunch  period. 

Sixth  period  always  flies  by.  The 
students  are  talkative  andfull  of  en- 
ergy, anticipating  their  eminent  free- 
dom. One  student  has  baked  sweet 
rolls  and  passes  them  out  to  the  stu- 
dents. About  three  seconds  later,  one 
student  is  flailing  towards  the  trash 
can  choking  and  coughing.  He  spews 
the  now  chewed-up  sweet  roll  into  the 
trash  and  falls  on  the  floor  twitching. 
The  class  bursts  into  applause.  It  was 
quite  a  performance. 

Poor  girl . . .  I  want  to  laugh  but  I 
hear  my  mother's  voice  (she  is  a 
teacher)  saying,  "Discipline,  disci- 
pline, discipline."  After  putting  an 
end  to  drama  hour,  the  students  settle 
down  to  a  comparatively  boring  les- 
son the  Knights  of  the  Round  Table. 

The  last  bell  rings.  It  sounds  like 
a  chorus  of  angels  singing  down  from 
heaven.  The  students  burst  out  of  die 
cla.ssrooni  doors  eager  to  enjoy  their 
eighteen  hours  oF  freedom  until  the 
clanging  of  the  cold  metal  double  doors 
reverberates  throughout  the  halts  once 
more,  signalling  the  beginning  of  an- 
other school  day.  I  am  also  eager  to 
get  away  and  enjoy  what  is  left  of  the 
sunlight.  My  thoughts  of  taking  a 
walk  and  enjou  ilea  l.i/y  meal  outside 
are  interrupted  by  that  sinister  voice. 
"Don'tyou  have  papers  to  grade?  Have

hclnrc  ihe  show. 

But  their  work  proved  worth- 
rwhile.  This  year's  Strawberry  Fcsti- 
|  val  had  a  Disney  theme.  "I  don't 
I  know  how  I  came  up  with  this  theme," 
said  Piatt,  "but  everyone  seems  to

The  theme  was  incorporated  into 
}  the  show  with  special  guest  appear- 
by  some  well-known  Disney 
f  characters.  Tinkerbell,  a.k.a.  Gym- 
l  Master  DarleneHallock,  flew  across 
I  the  gym  ceiling  sprinkling  pixie  dust

there  it  wasn't  scary,  [the  harness]

Beauty  and  the  beast  also  ap-

Aspecial  highlight  of  the  evening 
was  a  tribute  to  SCSA  Sponsor  K.R. 
Davis,  who  has  given  30  years  of 
service  to  Southern  College.  The 
tribute  featured  pictures  of  Davis  at

Famous  Last  Words 

James  Dittes,  Accent  Editor 


It  was  a  dark  and  slormy  night — 
it  really  was — when  I  came  to  South- 
ern last  August.  Lightning  flashed  in 
the  distance,  rain  splattered  on  the 
rusl  around  my  brown  Toyota  and 
the  only  thing  I  had  on  my  mind  was 
the  phrase  I  would  put  under  my 
Joker  picture. 

Those  were  the  good  old  days. 

Since  then  each  one  of  us  has 
travelled  through  a  school  year  which 
gave  each  one  of  us  new  and  per- 
sonal challenges,  and  all  of  us  as  a 
Student  Association  new 
opport unites  to  gather  and  greet  and 

1 992  was  the  year  of  the  woman. 
On  the  national  front,  women  found 
a  louder  voice  politically.  On  the 
home  front  women  ran  everything 
from  the  SCSA  to  CARE  to  the  Des- 
tiny, where  Maria  Rodriguez  was  the 
first  woman  to  ever  direct  the  drama 

Reverse  weekends  were  the  only 
weekends  that  saw  any  dating  action 
on  campus  as  the  women  stepped 
forward  with  style  and  creativity,  as 


the  men — save  for  a  group  of  Greek 
gods— hid  themselves  inside  Talge 
and  waited  out  the  five  weeks  be- 
tween these  weekends.  (You  don't 
believe  me?  Just  try  to  count  how 
many  couples  got  together  only  after 
the  woman  made  the  first  move.) 

We  elected  a  new  president  in 
1992.  There  were  a  host  of  political 
debates,  a  Republican  club  and  even 
a  rally  starring  the  president  himself. 
But  despite  the  vast  Republican  ma- 
jority on  campus,  America  chose 
Clinton  and  change— changes  which 
at  this  time  seem  almost  as  remote  as 
they  did  in  the  stagnant  years  of 
Bush. 

Actually,  the  only  real  political 
action  on  campus  wasn't  at  the  vot- 
ing booth  or  the  Republican  rallies 
but  in  the  actions  of  students  who 
volunteered  their  lime  at  Chambliss 
Home  and  through  Toys  for  Kids— 
a  Christmas  toy  drive  sponsored  by 
BKT.  If  more  Americans  could  cut 
through  the  rhetoric  and  start  acting 
like  these  students,  we  wouldn'thave 
to  worry  so  much  about  broken  prom- 


Local  issues  that  seemed  volatile 
at  the  beginning  of  the  year  remained 
latent,  while  other  troubles  erupted. 
At  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  ad- 
ministration had  threatened  to  en- 
force the  archaic  ban  on  shorts  in  the 
student  center  and  on  campus.  But  as 
the  spring  of '93  rolled  around,  shorts 
could  still  be  found,  and  the  policy 
was  being  ignored  in  classrooms,  the 
library  and  the  cafeteria  as  well. 

Meanwhile,  Talge  and  Thatcher 
awoke  one  morning  last  September 
to  find  their  laundry  prices  increased 
by  50%.  Later  the  Thatcher  parking 
lot  was  cut  in  half  to  accomodate 
overflow  parking  to  the  women. 
These  actions  by  the  administration 
raised  several  key  questions  to  be 
answered  by  upcoming  SCSA  ad- 
ministrations: Do  students  have  a 
right  to  be  told  of  such  sudden  ac- 
tions before  they  occur?  Shouldn't 
students  have  some  say  in  the  regula- 
tion and  improvement  of  student  life 
on  campus? 

Accent  tried  to  position  itself  at 


the  center  of  the  discussion  of  th| 
issues.    We  covered  sexual  haras  J 
ment,  where  Southern 's  money  got 
interracial  dating,  black  history  w 
AIDS  and  a  host  of  other  issues  c 
to  student  life.  All  that  was  mis

About  Accent 


After  only  a  year  at  the  helm  of 
if,  I  can  hardly  remember  a 
time  when  I  didn't  have  a  deadline. 
t  remember  a  time  when  my 
mind  wasn't  popping  with  ideas  to 
ntroduce  to  Southern  College 
through  the  pages  of  Accent . 

With  these  few  words- 
typed,  typically,  at  6  a.m.  Wednes- 
day morning-my  short  career  as 
editor  ends,  and  life  begins  again. 
It's  not  that  life  will  ever  be

loughest  part  of  the  job. 

A  lot  of  things  have  hap-

Where  does  students'  tuition  money  go  anyway? 


Tuition  fees  have

The  price  of  a  Soulhcm  cduca-

Ht's  time  to  change 
Icollege  days 


College  Days  has  passed  once  again.  No  longer  are  we  hearing  sirens  all 
iy  long.  No  longer  are  we  waiting  in  ihe  cafe  line  for  an  hour. 

The  prospective  students  are  bused  onto  campus,  following  a  fire  truck 

iih  its  sirens  wailing.  The  class  officers  are  escorted  in  a  fancy  car.  While 

■the  faculty  seem  to  think  this  is  a  great  idea,  no  one  asks  the  seniors  what  they 

pink-  The  seniors  I  have  talked  to  about  College  Days  loved  the  total 

irogram,  except  for  that  "stupid,"  "childish,"  "embarrassing"  ride  in.  It's 

mazing  how  the  buses  have  no  people  in  them  when  they  pull  up.  The 

e  aJl  hiding  on  the  floor.  Maybe  this  time  honored  tradition  should 

(e  rethought.  In  stead  of  making  a  spectacle  of  these  prospective  students, 

:  should  find  a  way  to  make  them  feel  comfortable. 

The  food  lines  lend  to  get  a  little  ridiculous  during  College  Days.  A 

rel  line  for  them  might  be  helpful,  it  worked  well  for  the  Acrosport 

ival.  I  understand  the  administrations  desire  to  let  the  future  students 

Lperience  the  total  college  experience,  but  driving  the  college  students  wild 

it  the  way  to  do  it.  Giving  the  College  Days  participants  a  later  supper 

leand  extending  [he  cafe's  hours  could  lei  them  wander  through  the  maze 

b the  cafe  without  fear  of  offending  (he  college  students. 

College  Days  is  an  exciting  experience  for  students.  It  changes  some 
lenis  minds  on  where  they  are  going  to  college.  Without  it  I'm  sure  new 
lications  would  drop  and  enrollment  would  go  down.  But  like  every- 
g,  it  can  be  improved  and  maybe  make  ihe  College  Days  experience  less 
•Mul  for  everyone  involved.

Students  can  impact  campus  safety 

Sir: 

I  would  like  to  address  the  problem  of  Campus  Security.  I  am  student 
here  at  Southern  and  for  the  past  twn  \  cars,  I  ha\  c  heard  the  student  body  talk 
and  complain  about  ihe  atrocities  and  I  would  even  go  as  far  as  to  say  un- 
Chnstian  actions  of  Security. 

I  am  not  writing  this  letter  with  another  bad  experience  or  to  bash 
Security.  I  am  writing  this  letter  with  a  solution.  We  need  to  as  a  student 
body  stop  talking  about  the  Security  problem  and  do  something  about  it.  We 
need  to  take  our  complaints  and  frustrations  to  Dean  Wohlers  or  SCSA 
President  Krisi  Clark — somebody  that  can  do  something  about  it. 

I  guarantee  that  if  those  of  you  who  do  have  complaints — and  I  know  that 
just  about  every  one  you  do  because  I  heard  you  at  Strawberry  Festival-take 
them  and  voice  them  to  Dean  Wnhlers.  something  positive  will  be  done  for 
the  student  body.

Accent  Sports  with  Encjoimson  — 

Another  year  at  Soulhem  College  has  almost  come  loan  end!  When 
a  person  comes  up  to  you  and  asks  how  was  the  year  in  sports  at  Southern, 
what  is  your  response?  I  wanted  to  know  how  some  of  the  students  felt 
about  it  and  here  are  their  responses. 

--"It  was  a  good  way  to  release  stress  from  my  classes."  Brent  Goodge 
-"Most  triumphant."  GregGryte 

--"It  was  will-run,  hut  B-leugue  should  be  allowed  in  football  tourna- 
ments." Calvin  Simmons 

-"I  loved  it,  it  was  a  lot  better  than  Union  College."  Karen  Wilkes 
--"I  thought  it  was  great,  but  it  would  be  a  lot  belter  with  a  spring  soflball 
league."  Robby  Geltys 
••"A  lot  of  fun,  good  competition,  and  good  sportsmanship."  Melinda 

-"I  plead  the  fifth."  Burncy  Culpepper 

-"Awesome!  Jaccks  runs  a  great  program."  Tamcra  Lowman 

-"It  was  good,  but  I'm  graduating  Ihisyear,  and  I've  yet  to  beat  Ted  Evans 

in  a  game  of  ping-pong."  Alex  Bryan 

-Well  organized  and  well  run."  Shelly  Wise 

-"I  perfcr  to  say  after  I'm  out  of  Jaecks's  lifeguarding  class."    Paul 

Hopkins 

-"The  intramural  program  at  Soulhem  College  is  by  far  the  best  I've  ever 

seen."  Jay  Rilterskamp 

These  arc  just  a  few  comments  people  made  about  the  sports  program 
here  at  Southern.  As  for  myself,  I  want  to  commend  (he  P.E.  Department 
lor  a  great  year.  I  don'l  think  a  lot  of  people  realize  how  much  time  is  put 
inlO  running  the  kind  of  inlramural  program  we  have.  I  am  already 
looking  forward  to  next  year.  If  it's  anything  like  this  year,  it  will  be 
AWHSOME!

t  Sunday,  at  Windstone  Golf  Club,  the 
annual  Southern  College  Golf  Tournament  was 
held. 

The  planners  decided  to  have  it  at  Windstone 
because  it  is  so  much  closer  to  Southern  than  the 
usual  place  of  Fall  Creek  Falls.  "I  believe  most  of 
the  people  liked  it  at  the  new  place,  and  the  people 
out  there  were  very  helpful,"  stated  Ted  Evans. 

This  year  the  tournament  had  a  new  formal. 
Instead  of  the  traditional  four  man  select  shot 
team,  the  teams  of  lour  were  spin  and  paired  with 
another  twosome. 

This  was  done  to  cut  down  on  some  cheating 
that  people  have  complained  about  in  the  past.  "I 
really  liked  the  new  format  because  it  cuts  down 
on  people  cheating  like  Dean  Hobbs  and  espe- 
cially Ken  Rogers,"  said  Men's  Dean,  Ron  Qualley. 

There  were  three  flights  in  the  tournament.

A  Love  a  Thousand 
Cranes  Strong 

As  he  prepares  for  marriage,  Chin  Kim 

prepares  his  Korean  girlfriend  a  special 

token  of  love.

Once  upon  a  time,  an  SC  studcr

'  Jason  Suk.  j  foreign  exchange  student  from  Ko- 
,  lold  me  about  making  a  thousand  little  paper  cranes 
■to  find  your  true  love,"  says  Kim. 

He  has  constructed  500  so  far.  "As  we  speak,  I'm 

the  process  of  making  a  hundred  more,"  says  Chin. 

His  smile  is  facile  and  confident.  The  deep  black

Istudent  missionary  in  Seoul.  Korea,  two  years  ago.

■family  when  he  was  eight  years  old. 

James  Yi  and  Chin  have  been  friends  for  years. 

ey  room  together.   "We've  been  through  a  lot  to- 

ther,"  they  say  as  they  turn  to  each  other. 

Collaborating  on  making  a  thousand  paper  birds 

I  would  be  no  different.  But  Chin  doesn't  want  anyone 

I  helping  him.  "It's  mine."  he  says  of  his  project.  James 

it  interested  in  helping  him  anyway:  "A  thousand? 

I  There's  just  no  way."  he  exclaims. 

"I  can't  get  over  that  he's  actually  going  through 
it,"  says  Jason  Suk.  Jason  has  lived  for  seventeen 
s  in  Korea  and  knew  that  Chin  wasn't  familiar  with 
y  of  the  practices  of  their  native  country.  He  had 
I  half-jokingly  suggested  the  paper  birds  when  Chin  told 
n  about  his  long-distance  love,  noting  that  the  lime 
in  awaited  to  see  Jin  again  wouldn't  seem  so  long 
;n.  "I  can't  get  over  it."  repeated  Jason.  "I  tried  [to 
ike  birds]  once  myself  and  stopped  after  making 
|  fifty." 

James  too  was  incredulous,  but  he  belie  ves  in  Chin. 
"He'll  make  it."  he  says.  "After  ail  he  has  her  to  think 
I  of  while  he's  doing  them." 

Making  the  birds  is  not  an  easy  task,  Jason  had 

I  remarked,  forthere are  many  foldings  and  inner-foldings 

I  involved  in  forming  the  cranes  from  gum  wrappers. 

I  (Chindoesn'tchcw  gum  much,  so  he  uses  small  squares

At  first,  Chin  didn't  think  making  a  thousand  birds

He  doesn't  mind,  now:  "I  told  myself  that  if  I  really

ing  for  the  church. 

'Tell  about  the  train,"  whispers  James. 

Jin  and  Chin  had  bought  train  tickets  upon  return- 
ing form  their  winter  break.  Their  trip  back  from  Dae 
Gu  marked  the  firs  t  time  they  spent  lime  alone  with  each 
other.  Although  theirtickets'  numbers  were  close,  their 
seats  were  diagonal  opposiles.  Chin  asked  the  man 
sitting  across  Jin  if  he  would  exchange  seats  with  him. 
The  man  refused  1  ndctciTcd  Chin  stood  in  the  aisle 
next  to  Jin,  but  thai  made  her  uncomfortable.  Finally, 
they  asked  the  couple  sitting  nearby  if  they  would 
consider  exchanging  seats  wiih  her.  The  couple  was 
more  understanding.  The  man  felt  guilty  perhaps 
because  he  also  offered  his  seat.  Chin  laughs  as  his 
fingers  motions  on  the  table  a  u  infusing  swap  of  posi- 
tions. "Anyway,  I  sat  with  her  for  the  rest  of  the  trip." 
says  Chin  triumphantly. 

Jin  got  off  the  train  first.  She  walked  beside  it  as  far 
as  she  could.  She  kept  waving  at  Chin  while  the  train 
left  her  behind.  "That's  when  it  hit  me  that  she  was 
interested  [in  me],"  says  Chin.  "It  hit  me  that  we  were 


that  effect  on  me,"  says  Chin. 

"Yep.  The  Love  School  did  it,"  concludes  James. 

This  past  December.  Jin's  family  gave  her  their 
permission  to  marry  Chin. 

However,  the  couple  will  delay  their  engagement 
since  Chin's  mother  umi'i  he  present  when  the  couple 
meet  each  other  again  in  Seoul  next  month,  on  May  4. 

Jason  is  looking  forward  to  that  date:  "I  want  to  see 
that  moment.  I  want  to  see  her  face  when  she  opens  the

"But,"  says  Chin.  "1  don't  have  a  jar  (he  spreads  his 
arms  widely  apart)  this  big." 

"Maybe  we  could  find  one."  suggests  James. 

"That's  possible. . ." 

"I  think  i  know  how  Jesus  feels,"  says  Chin,  a 
moment  later.  "We're  in  a  long-distance  love  relation-

He  will  meet  us  and  have  something  very  much  like 
a  flight  of  a  thousand  paper  white  cranes.  Until  then,

LEAD  STORY 

In  March,  Pope  John-Paul  II  pre- 
sided over  the  beatiflcalion  —  which 
probably  signals  imminent  sainthood 
— ■  of  a  man  whose  name  gave  rise  to  a 
popular  synonym  for  "stupid."  The 
13th-century  theologian  John  Duns 
Scoius  was  a  powerful  medieval 
thinker,  rivaled  St.  Thomas  Aquinas; 
but  by  the  16lh  century,  his  disciples 
had  lost  an  intellectual  power  struggle 
and  were  denounced  by  the  Dutch 
scholar  Erasmus  as  not  exactly  bright, 
which  ultimately  gave  us  the  term 
"dunce." 

JUST  CAN'T  STOP  MYSELF 

—Larry  Burchfield,  28,  was  ar- 
rested in  Martinsville,  Ind.,  in  Novem- 
ber and  charged  with  burglary.  He 
was  discovered  inside  a  home  at  3 
a.m.,  when  the  owners  were  awakened 
by  the  sound  of  Burchfield  playing 
their  piano.  He  did  not  stop  playing 
until  police  arrived. 

— Recently,  there  have  been  sev- 
eral reports  of  grown  men  appearing  in 
public  wearing  diapers  and  little  else. 
Richard  L.  Beay,  26,  was  arrested  in 
January  in  West  Allis,  Wis.,  after  he 
asked  a  female  high  school  student  if 
she  would  change  him.      And  a  52- 


year-old  man  was  stopped  by  police  in 
Contoocook,  N.H.,  in  March  after  be- 
ing found  in  a  parking  lot  wearing  only 
aT-shirt  and  a  disposable  diaper  (with 
duck  designs  on  it). 

— George  S.  Jonas  ,  57,  who  had 
just  been  released  from  prison  after 
serving  three  years  of  a  30-year  term 
for  burglary  and  who  had  announced 
that  his  burglary  career  was  over  — 
even  calling  himself  "George  Jonas. 
Master  burglar  (Retired)"  —  was  ar- 
rested again  in  October  for  burglary  of 
a  town  house  in  Miami.  Jonas  is  the 
author  of  the  1980  book,  "The  Com- 
plete Burglary  Prevention  Manual — 
Illustrated,"  which  he  wrote  while  serv- 
ing yet  another  burglary  sentence. 

— The  Wall  Street  Journal  reported 
that  as  of  October  1992.  U.S.  Rep. 
Illcana  Ros-Lehtinen  of  Florida  was 
"by  far  the  most  flagrant  abuser"  of  the 
policy  of  the  daily  Congressional

of  October,  she  had  inserted  more 
than  400  items  for  reprinting,  which 
jacked  up  the  cost  to  taxpayers  by 
$405,000. 

— In  Novembera  Los  Angeles  jury 
convicted  professional  clown  Terry 
("Clownzo  the  Clown")  Knulson  of 


six  counts  related  to  his  messy 
house  and  property,  including 
"rodent  harborage."  Neigh- 
bors had  complained  for  15 
years  about  the  garbage,  but

Chickamauga,  GA)— he'll  be  a

.  the 


place  uncertain,  and  Sharon  Arner 
(from  Knoxville,  TN)  is  going  to 


hibernate  and  miss  David!  Finally 
Bernadette  Figueiredo  (from 
Hudson,  MA)  is  planning  to  model 
more  dresses  like  the  total  pink  outfit 
she's  wearing  today. 

It  seems  to  me  that  there  are 
many  more  goldfish  in  the  "Alcove 
pool;"  someone  must  have  trans- 
ferred all  the  fish  from  the  "fountain 
pool"  down  here.  By  the  way,  eight 
ornineofthese  fish  are  albinos.  And 
look,  here's  Song  Sparrow  inspect- 
ing the  rocks  and  lichen!  Soon  it 
flew  to  a  tree-perch  and  was  singing 
its  typical  "trill  and  bouncing  note" 
song.  And  down  towards  the  lawns 
there's  and  Eastern  Meadowlark  and 
a  Carolina  Wren  singing  lustily — 
proclaiming  territory,  no  doubt.  Up 
in  the  Security  Parking  Lot  there's  a 
red  Dodge  Charger  with  SPLATT 
for  a  license  plate,  and  over  in  Hack- 
man  hall  Parking  there's  a  car  from 
Kansas  sporting  the  three  letters  FUN 
on  its  plate  (maybe  it  is  just  that). 
Also  spotted  acar  from  Maine  which 
lias  bright  red  lobster  embossed  un- 
derneath the  letters  and  numbers  of 
its  plate. 

Over  in  Hackman  I  ran  into  Dr. 
Steve  Nyirady  who  is  almost  carry- 
ing blue  prints  and  lists  of  items  to 
check  in  connection  with  the  new 
Science  building,  soon  to  be  the  lat- 
est building  on  campus.  The  build- 
ing will  house  the  departments  of 


Chemistry,  Physics,  Mathematics, 
Computer  Science,  and  Biology  (the 
entire  second  floor).  In  this  techno- 
logically-advanced structure  of  some 
53,700  sq.  ft.  one  will  find  such 
amenities  as  TV  screens  mounted  on 
the  ceiling  in  many  classrooms  and 
labs,  angled  lab  tables,  microscopes 
housed  in  the  lab  tables,  student  li- 
brary and  study  center,  student  re- 
search laboratories,  spacious  hall- 
ways (wide  enough  so  thai  two  handi- 
capped individuals  in  wheelchairs 
will  have  no  trouble  passing),  and  (in 
the  case  of  Biology)  a  centralized 
stockroom,  room  for  an  electron  mi- 
croscope, all  the  teachers'  offices  in 
one  section,  snazzy  lobby,,  creative 
lighting,  and  decorative  items.  The 
building  will  have  elevators  and  two 
sets  of  stairs  conncctingall  the  floors, 
h  andy  loading  docks,  and  licrcdclass- 
rooms.  Ground  breaking  will  occur 
sometime  this  year  and  if  you're 
lucky,  you  might  get  into  the  com- 
plexinlale  1995  orearly  1996.  Stay 

In  the  meantime,  I  've  seen  you  at 
Strawberry  Festival,  the  Memories 
distribution,  and  Awards  Chapel  (all 
three  excellcntevents  were  filled  with 
surprises).  Good  luck  on  those  fi- 
nals. .  .and  Congratulations  to  you 
Seniors.  It's  been  an  invigorating 
and  fantastic  school  year!
