Safety explore
Thatcher thefts
Autliorities are investigating two break-
ins at Tliatcher Hall over the weekend. In
one room, the stolen items were not elec-
tronics, cash or other valuables, but
women's underwear and bathing suits.
"We just second guess the school's
security," said Sandy Bolejack, whose
room was broken into. "There were no
cameras and they got past the dorm alarm
system."
The break-in happened between
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon
when someone broke through the window
of Annette Chaviano and Bolejack's first-
floor donn room, according to pohce. The
burglar stole hundreds of dollars worth of
underwear and swimsuits.
A similar break-in happened during
Saturday night's Welcome BACKfire
Party. Maria Robberson returned to her
first-floor Thatcher room and noticed her
window was open. Although her dresser
drawers had been ransacked, Robberson
told police nothing appeared to be miss-
ing, including a violin and cash.
While not afraid, she said others must
know what happened.
"I'm really concerned that people are
unaware about it and unable to protect
themselves," Robberson said.
Although the break-ins happened
around the same time with similar meth-
ods of entry, investigators would not con-
firm they were committed by a single sus-
pect.
While investigators would not com-
inent on the specifics of the investigation,
Campus Safet>' officer David Houtchens
said students can help protect themselves.
Remove the opportunity. Lock doors
land windows, close blinds and most
|lmportantiy, be aware," he said.
Houtchens said any student who sees
any stiange or suspicious activity should
call Campus Safety immediately.
Thatcher Hall deans were unavailable

SA ''BACKfire" begins school year
New students attend revamped orientation
Southern hosted a new five-day ori-
entation process for first-year students
last month, discarding the one-day ori-
entation of the past in favor of what
was called First-Aid; initial support for
success.
First-year students arrived Wednes-
day morning on Au. 25 for "move-in
day" and bad a schedule full of events
until Sunday night, Aug. 29. Students
participated in a community service
session and were able to sample some
of Southern's worship options on
Sabbath. There were numerous meet-
ings and conferences designed to help
freshmen make the adjustment from
high school to life at Southern, as well
as conferences to help parents adjust
to having a son or daughter in college.
Attendees of First-Aid had a more
strict attendance policy this year com-
pared to previous orientations. Each
day featured several required activi-
ties.
"The change was made because
[Southern's staff] didn't feel that the
one-day orientation was really meeting
the needs of students," said Kari
SchuUz, director of Student Services.
"With First-Aid, students really have
time to get aquainted with each other
and the school before classes begin.

The

Accent. . . it im
I Seriously, it pays.
On the West Coast, the chig-
ger is nothing more than a Hter-
ary figure, only to be encoun-
tered while reading about a place
far away where little children
pick berries and itch chigger
bites. What is a chigger?
During the first week at
Southern, a foreigner's ignorance
starts getting dangerous. 1 heard
that chiggers burrow under your
skin, suck your blood and then
die. I also heard that they lay
eggs under your skin, and if you
put fingernail polish over the
bump they make, they will suffo-
cate. Every story was a little dif-
ferent and I began to feel the
need for clarification.
So what is the truth about
chiggers? Chiggers are a type of
mite in the arachnid family, so
put down that insect guidebook
because they're not there; I
already looked. They look like
microscopic tomatoes \vith legs,
typically measuring one-twenti-
eth of an mch long, which makes
them difficult but not impossible
to see with the naked eye. Their
bite, which itches like a mosquito
bite, can last up to ten days,
depending on how quickly you
catch the chigger. Because the
chiggers' preferred food sources
are birds and reptiles, humans
develop severe itching from chig-
gers as we are not their correct
host.
A chigger's mission as a little
larva is to crawl where the skin is
relatively thin and wrinkled, like
the arm or leg pit; their personal
favorite seems to be around the
beltline. They don't burrow
under the skin with their heads,
but they do inject it with power-
fiil saliva that liquefies the tissue.
This produces the severe itching.
The tissue around the area
becomes hard, creating a tube
called a stylostome that the chig-
ger uses to suck up liquefied tis-
sue. This hard area causes many
people to believe that the chigger
is actually under their skin.
Those forging the Tennessee
wilderness are much more prone
to having an encotmter with chig-
gers than on Southern's mani-
cured lawn. Karah Thompson,
an Ooltewah nurse, says she gets
chiggers when she goes hiking,
especially when she ventures off
the trail.
Ifyou really wai)t to avoid get- |
ting chiggers, give yourself a mh
down with some stiidcy powdered
sulfur. Chiggers avoid sulfur j
like the plague, as will all your
Mends until you realize you'd
rather get bit by a chigger than
have no friends and go take a
bath. If you think you've been
exposed to chiggers, the best
thing to do is wash your clothes
and take a warm, soapy bath.
Already have a chigger bite? ,
You may find some relief using |
benzocaine, hydrocortison
calamine lotion.
What's worse than a girl from
the West Coast coming do\vn |
here and tellmg you all wb
chigger is? I don't know.
Wellness balancing act
College can be overwhelm-
ing. Aside from the desire to
do well in class, students are
bombarded by the pressures
of relationships, money and
career choices. On top of that.
Student Wellness tells us to
be balanced! But what does
balance mean?
Human beings are made
up of four main components:
mental, physical, spiritual
and social. Though different,
they are so closely coonected
diat whenever one is affected.
the others become out of bal-
In the book "Charting Your
Course," Dr. Brian Steward
says that throughout life each
component goes through a
period of dominance. For
most college students, the
mental component domi-
nates. Because of this, stu-
dents tend to neglect other
components and become
unbalanced. That's where
Student Wellness comes in.
The Student Wellness cen-
ter wants students to find the
resources to live well and
offers programs and events to
help find balance and achieve |
wellness goals.
This means not letting!
studies take over or become I
ignored, but balancing theij I
with a physical, spiritual and |
social life.

The Demons Among Us
Call me a Communist, a
tree-hugger or a pot-smoking
hippie if you want. Call me
unchristian, unprincipled,
even unpatriotic if you so
desire. But don't you dare call
meaUberal. Say I have no val-
ues, morals or integrity but
please... don't say I'm a liberal.
Wait a minute. Since when
is being a liberal a bad thing?
Who makes these determina-
tions anyway? In an age
where our president draws
lines in the sand saying,
"you're eitlier with us or you're
with the terrorists," we've
come under the unfortunate
delusion that everything even-
tually boils down to "my way
versus the evil way."
Slowly, masterftilly, conser-
vatives have been able to
ignite a giant conflagration
that has swept the nation and
demonized the word hberal.
(Whatashift>'ploy...)
Well, call the exorcist,
because demons or not, I've
got news. I am a liberal— and
history tells me that's nothing
to be ashamed of. After all, it
was a liberal congressional
caucus led by James Madison
in 1791 tliat fought the hardest
for establishing the Bill of
Rights. At the turn of the
twentietli century, it was a
prominent libera! leader,
William Jennings Bryan, who
most strongly supported
women's suffrage. In the
1930s, it was Franklin D.
Roosevelt's liberal administra-
tion that helped this nation
right itself after tlie Great
Depression and sent millions
of destitute Americans back to
work mstead of back to the
bread lines.
So, what's to be ashamed
of? Liberals stand for a myri-
ad of honorable policies ihat
have helped shape this nation
into the greatest nation m the
world. So, while I'm actually
not a Communist and I don't
smoke pot, I am a liberal. And
in this column 111 be dis-
cussing pertinent election-
year issues from a liberal per-
spective.
Brian Lauritzen
Introductory Column
Another year has come
and gone. It's time to get
back in the swing of things.
Just make sure you're
ready to burn the midnight
oil. Alright. I can go on list-
ing the cliches about start-
ing another year of school,
but that probably won't
accomplish very much.
The reality of it is that for
the ne.\t several months,
you're going to be subject-
ed to a lot of stuff that you
may not like - and then
you've got schoolwork on
top of that!
Try as you might, it is
impossible to completely
shut out the world around
you. So, since you have to
hear about it all anyway,
why not take a small
amount of time to educate
yourself on it and form an
opinion? This philosophy
applies to society in gener-
al, but I don't claim to
know everything about
everything. What I'm here
for is politics.
Every week during the
course of this school year,
Brian Lauritzen (my liber-
ally-minded cohort) and I
\vi\\ be taking political and
societal issues head on.
For the most part, we will
disagree on these issues
(me being the mainstream-
media-branded 'right-wing
extremist'). Thanks to our
political differences, Brian
and I will deliver the issue
from both sides of the aisle,
and let you decide for your-
self where you stand. A fair
and balanced argument
will be presented for your
perusal, in the hopes that
you make some decisions
of your own.
So look for us each week,
and we promise not to dis-
appoint.

Lynn Wood
Hall receives
needed repairs
Don Cantrell
Repairs to the oldest building on
Southern's campus, Lynn Wood Hall,
are progressing after last year's fire
damaged the last wood building on
campus.
The top floor was charred by a gen-
erator fire, while the bottom floor
was flooded by the building's spriii-
kler system and firefighters.
University officials planned to
remodel some of Lynn Wood's interi-
or design features while repairs are
undenvay.
"Basically, they gutted both the top
and bottom floors, and the bath-
rooms are being redone, too," said
Helen Durichek, associate vice presi-
dent of financial administration.
Durichek said the bottom floor,
where Campus Safety offices and the
Audio-Visual department were locat-
ed before, will now house several
general-usage classrooms.
Repairs got underway only days
after the fire, and will last for several
more months. Exterior jobs, like
roofing, are slowed by the area's
many rainy days, Durichek said.
"The project won't be completed
until at least next s

More parking eases congestion
Parking on campus can be frustrating
for new, and even returning, students
this semester. Who is supposed to park
where, and when, m Southern's plethora
of lots can confuse even staff members
and veteran students. However, "it does
not have to be that way," says Campus
Safety Director, Eddie Avant. "We tried
to revamp the way we regulate parking
to clear up as much confusion as possi-
ble."
Among adjustments made to the
parking situation since last school year
are the creation of 345 new spaces for
student parking, with more on the way.
"I'm a community student, so I really
don't have an issue with parking. Its fair-
ly easy to find spots when I need them,"
said Michael Valentin, junior
Accounting major.
Michael said dorm students have a
much bigger issue ivith parking than
most community students.
"It would be nice for dorm students to
be able to move their cars around cam-
pus, "Michael said.
The ticket system has also been fine-
tuned. Ticket fines have increased from
$14 to $15 and can be charged to a stir-
dent ID card. Appeals now cost $5; how-
ever tiiat additional charge is waived if
the stijdent's appeal is approved.
"It's to cut down on frivolous
appeals," Avant said. "[The ticket
appeals committee] was spending sever-
al hours a week reading through appeals
in which the student was not even being
Campus Safety is trying to cut down
on the number of tickets it processes
through efforts like the $50 prize draw-
ing to 10 students who registered their
vehicles by September 2.
Avant estimated the number of tickets
Campus Safety wrote last year to be
around 4000, the majority of which
were for failing to register. Avant said
one of the more common things students
forget about is a temporary parking pass.
If a student is borrowing someone else's
car, they can unpeel the parking sticker
from their vehicle and transfer it to the
borrowed car.
The new location of Campus Safety's
offices is in the newly renovated Campus
Services building on Industrial Drive.

As Ivan annroaches Gulf Coast towns deserted
MARY FOSTER
NEW ORLEANS - Stragglers
streamed toward higher
ground Wednesday on high-
ways turned into one-way evac-
uation routes and pounding
surf started eroding beaches as
Hurricane Ivan roared toward
the Gulf Coast with :35 mph
"We're leaving today. All this
is going under," said surfer
Chuck Myers who was only tak-
ing pictures of the waves
Wednesday morning at Gulf
Shores, AJa. "We surfed it all
day yesterday. It was glorious."
Ivan could cause significant
damage no matter where it
strikes, as hurricane-force wind
extended up to 105 miles out
from the center, Hurricane
warnings were posted along a
300-mile stretch from Grand
Isle, La., across coastal
Mississippi and Alabama to
Apalachicola, Fla., but Ivan had
turned onto a nortlierly course,
generally toward the center of
the warning ;irca, the Alabama
and MissiKsippi coasts.
"I his is ;i had one and people
need In get out," Mobile, Ala.,
Mayor Mike Dow said
Wednesday on ABC's "Good
Morning America."
Deputies went door-to-door
through the night in .south
Mobile County, instructing res-
idents to evacuate. Some are
expected to remain. Sheriffs
Sgt. Steve Kirchharr said, but
overall "we have received a
good response,"
Interstate 65 in Alabama
was turned into a northbound-
only evacuation route
Wednesday morning from the
harbor city of Mobile to
Montgomery. Chemical plants
and refineries around Mobile
Bay had been closed down.
Roughly 2 million people
had been urged or ordered to
leave coastal areas, including
more than 1.2 million in the
New Orleans metropolitan
Forecasters said that
although Ivan, which killed at
least 68 people in the
Caribbean, had weakened very
slightly to 135 mph Wednesday,
it was still an "extremely dan-
gerous category 4 hurricane,"
and its strength could fluctuate
before it crashes ashore early
Thursday morning somewhere
along the Gulf Coast.
Twelve-foot waves already
were booming ashore
Wednesday morning at Gulf
Shores, Ala., and starting to
erode the beach. Light rain had
started falling along the Florida
Panhandle. A buoy about 300
miles south of Panama City
registered waves just over 34
feet high early Wednesday.
"This is the first time I've
seen waves this big and we've
been coming here for years,"
said Terry Kilpatrick of

Even the tiniest change in
the storm track could move the
location of the storm's landfall
by hundreds of miles, Hector
Guerrero, a meteorologist at
the National Hurricane Center,
said Wednesday.
"Even a little jog could result
in considerable change," he
said.
New Orieans opened the
Louisiana Superdome to people
vrith handicaps or medical
problems that kept them from
evacuating, and Mayor Ray
Nagin said a shelter for others
would open later in the day.
All bridges out of New
Orleans were ordered shut
down as of 2 p.m. because of
the threat ■ of high wind, and
Police Chief Eddie Compass
imposed a 24-hour curfew
beginning at the same time.
No shelters were available in
Baldwin County, Ala., said
assistant emergenqr manage-
ment director Roy Wulff. The
county usually uses schools as
shelters, but the wind expected
from Ivan "far exceeds the
winds those buildings were
buih to withstand," he said.
Streets were all but deserted
Wednesday morning in Fort
Walton Beach, Fla., and along
Mississippi's 75-mile coast, and
most homes and businesses,
including a number of gas sta-
tions, were boarded up.
At Perdido Key, on the
Alabama-Florida state line, a
steady stream of drivers
stopped along U.S. gS to look at
the churning surf. "This is
almost a once-in-a-Iifetime
view," said Glen Phillips, who
has lived in the area since 1967.
Some people said they want-
ed to stay to witness the storm's
vkTath firsthand.
"There's nothing like a I
severe storm to put a human
being in their proper place,"
said Prentice Howard, 59, sta-
tioned at Naval Station |
Pascagoula in Mississippi. "I
want to experience the power of I
nature. It sounds dumb to [
some people but that's the way [
it is. Sort of like skydiving.'"
Three beheaded bodies found
in Iraq, car bomb kills two
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Security
forces discovered three
beheaded bodies Wednesday
on a road north of Baghdad,
and a car bomb exploded in a
town south of the capital,
killing two people amid a
surge of violence that has left
more than 200 dead in the
past four days.
The three bodies were
found ivithout documents
near Dijiel, about 25 miles
north of Baghdad, said Col
Adnan Abdul-Rahman of the
Interior Ministry.
A U.S. military official,
condition of
anonymity, said the bodies
appeared to be Iraqi nation-
als.
The car bomb targeted a
National Guard checkpoint in
Suwayrah, about 40 miles
south of Baghdad, Abdul-
Rahman said. A national
guardsman was one of the
tivo dead, he said. Ten people
were injured.
The car bomb near the
police headquarters for west-
ern Baghdad wrecked build-
ings and cars on central Haifa
Street, leaving debris in near-
by trees and homes.

The Southern Accent 3
Lifestyles
First impressions vs. real life
Everyone you ask has a dif-
ferent opinion about what col-
lege is going to he like. So what
is life reaUy like at Southern?
"I always wondered how
anyone passed, because I
thought it was so hard," said
Jamie Daily, a junior social
work major.
On the other hand, some
expected college to be a piece of
cake.
"I thought it was going to be
a lot like academy," said
Freshman Allison Mirande.
Whatever preconceived
ideas you came with, you are
here now, and reality is settling
"When I first got here, I
immediately felt welcomed,
and it's really easy to settle in
when you feel like you belong,"
said Chris Owen, a freshman
computer systems administra-
tion major.
Tiffany Foley, a sophomore
nursing major, agrees. "People
are so friendly here!"
Sophomore Jennifer Stout,
adds, "It's a lot easier to meet
people than I thought it would
be, and as you move on, it
becomes less intimidating to
just walk up and introduce
yourself to a stranger."
Andrew Marsh, a freshman
nursing major said, "It's
intense! I'm still having fun,
but I'm studying a lot more
than I did in Academy."
Freshman Josh Eskridge said
school was, "a lot more work
than I thought I would have to
put forth. Independently, it's a
lot more challenging than I
thought it would be."
But whether you're feeling
at home, or still trying to figure
out where all your classes are,
remember this advice from
Sophomore Tiffany Foley:
"God is the only One who is
going to help you achieve bal-
ance in your life."
"It may not be easy, but if
you commit everything to Him,
He will help you through it."

Coombs joins psychology full time
Most people assume when
you dedicate your life to min-
istry, you naturally get
siphoned into the theology
field. However, Dr. Rob
Coombs, psychology professor
at Southern, is ministering to
his students — one mind at a
time.
Pounding through issues
most professors wouldn't
touch with a nine-foot pole,
Dr. Coombs has gained the
respect of fellow professors
I and students alike.
"He's not only a great
teiicher, he's a wonderful per-
■■^on. You can tell he really
Ciui .-^ about his students," says
Jessica Williams, religious
t^'-l'iL-iition major.
Hr. Coombs was born in a
family with three other sib-
lings ~ all of them girls. His
father was in the Air Force,
kei'ping them on the move. By
th'- lime he reached the 12th
grade, he had transferred to
12 different schools.

himself teaching at Southern
as long as they will have him,
and looks forward to the rais-

His dedication to ministry
makes him an inspiration, but
perhaps even more inspiring
is his ability to look back on
his life and know that he's fol-
lowed God's will to the very
best of his ability.
"When I was 10, 1 felt called
to the ministry by God. Things
have changed, but my com-
mitment has never wavered."

4 The Southern Accent

The Northern Accent Making timc tor (jOd
. i,„ ^,.= HariTipare been a very stressful day.
rr-rrrrzr. changed much in many areas -r-^^;i;-^^^;^;;^i Those of us who are datmg .. . ,j _ ^^^^ ^jh mv horn
Some time ago, I had the
idea to start my own newspa-
per at Southern called the
Northern Accent (Motto:
Because not everyone wants a
Southern Accent), But, alas,
the way was not opened for it to
happen (i.e. I found out it costs
more than $.5). But that's OK,
because I'm happy lo be writ-
ing at the SOUTHERN Accent
in the opinion section. It's an
awesome time to be writing
because the state of affairs,
politically and religiously, is so
controversial. We are looking
at one of Ihc hottest presiden-
tial races in history, and a huge
polarization of peoples' beliefs.
I hope my colleagues in the
Right/Left column can help
you belter understand what is
going on. We have storms rip-
ping up Florida (strangely
enough, two people in Ohio
died because of them...), as well
as intense religious issues in
that realm.
Locally, ' Southern hasn't
cnausc" .nueh in many areas
For instance, as I journeyed to
Southern, I noticed that, along
with the Southern Adventist
University sign, the orange
barrels were also there to greet
us again (although I think they
moved them just to claim work
had been done). If I get mar-
ried around here, I want to tie a
couple of tho.se barrels behind
my just-married car; they're as
muchapartofthesceneryhere
at Southern as the biology trail.
Even those psychotic talking
ducks are back on the last page
of the Accent!
But there are changes too;
namely the new parking lot for
Talge. Also, a sidewalk near the
Garden of Prayer now connects
Industrial Drive with the
promenade. The Southern
mentor program is also much
belter than il was last year.
These are all good improve-
menls, to say the least.
In closing, I wish you all a
great year and hope you meet
your goals— and if nol, then
become an opinion columnist.
God Bless!
With all the current interest
in poHtics, you might be
expecting me to write some-
thing on a political note. It s
such an important topic these
days, after all. There's another
topic that's even more impor-
tant, though. And it has no
connections to hanging chads
or flip-flopping candidates. In
fact, we are being frequenUy
reminded of it this week.
For all the inconveniences it
may cause - I still think last
year's shortened class sched-
ule was better than this year's
version - Week of Prayer is an
incredible blessing to the soul.
II reminds us of our Savior,
who stands knocking at the
door of our hearts.
Sometimes, however, we
spend so little time with Him.
After all, so many important
things take up our time.
Classes, homework and proj-
ects eat up huge amounts of
our day. We spend time work-
ing at various occupations.
Those of us who are dating
always looking for time to
spend ivith that special per-
son. We certainly can't neglect
our friends either, or meals, or
exercise, or study sessions, or
sleep or... the hst goes on and
in the midst of all this activ-
ity, God asks for a small
■ ' In the midst of
all this activity,
God asks for a
small amount of
our time each
day. -; J
amount of our tune each day -
time that we can spend in His
word and in prayer.
Sometimes that can be so hard
to find; but it really does make
a difference. I was reminded of
this in my own life, just a week
or so ago. I was dreadfully
busy, and Wednesday had
been a very stressful day. i
didn't get done with my home-
work until about 11:30 p.m.,
and even then I had problems
with a few questions. I had a
project at work that needed to
be finished before the next
morning. It would only take a
half-hour or so, but thai
meant I would have to get up a
half hour earlier- not an easy
thing for me. Unlike
Wednesday morning, howev-
er, as soon as I woke up
Thursday morning, I said a
prayer to the Lord. I asked
Him to guide me through
another busy day; I also asked
Him to keep me awake while 1
was reading the Bible.
I did indeed stay awake,
and as it turned out, my day
ended up going a lot better
than I expected. Maybe that
was just chance; but I'd like to
attribute it to the time I spent
with God in the morning. So I
encourage you to make time
for God in your busy Hfe, if you
haven't already done so. You
won't regret it.

Brian Lauritzen
Remember the days when you
would disagree with your siblings
just to be different tlian they were'i*
Regardless of who benefited, you
still disagreed. Hopefiilly, you grew
out of that stage. If you did, then
you're ahead of some prominent
political figures, specifically, John
Kerry and his liberal base. In the
interest of time and space, I'm not
going to go into too many of Kerry's
"flip-flopping" tendencies. Instead,
I'll just focus on one example with
many facets.
The conflict in Iraq has been a
defining moment of George W.
Bush's presidency and the largest
topic of debate. Surprismgly, it has
also shone brightly on Kerry's record
as a decision maker. But it is not sur-
prising that the liberal media, which
is nearly all of il, has chosen to
obscure this fact. Consider a few
facts about Kerr\''s record on Iraq.
On Oct. 11, 2002, the Senate,
including Kerry, authorized the
president lo use force in Iraq.
Talking in 1998 lo Fox News' Tony
Snow. Kerry was asked if the United
States should remove Saddam
Hussein fi-om power. Kerry respond-
ed, "I beheve yes. 1 believe I've been
argriing tliat for some time ivithin
die intelligence committee and else-
where."
In May 2003, Kerry said, "I would
have preferred if we had given diplo-
macy a greater opportunit>', but I
think it was the right decision to dis-
arm Saddam Hussein, and when the
President made the decision, I sup-
ported him, and I support the fact
that we did disarm him."
That was flip. The flop came in
four months eariier at Georgetown
University when Kerry blasted
President Bush for "rushmg to war. '
Need more? Months ago, Kerry and
the Democrats called for a complete
withdrawal of troops from Iraq in
four years. When President Bush
began a reduction. Kerry pulled an
about-face and, according to
Bloomberg, "called for increasing
the U.S. military by 40,000 troops,
probably for a decade. . . 20,000
would be combat troops."
Still not conrfnced'? The AP
reported Kerry criticizing the use of
excessive money in Iraq and how it
could be better used at home. Just a
year earlier, Kerr\' had said on NBC s
'Meet the Press" that the United
States should use "whatever number
of billions of dollars it takes to win.
Since I believe this behavior is 0^
critical importance, I'm gomg
carry this flip-flopping issue im

'hat are you in search of?
"The search of all people is
r God. They may think they
"are looking for other things,
but they must eventually admit
that it is God they seek." -
Charles Fillmore
What are you in search of
this new school year? Are you
looking for a degree that will
prepare you for a successful
career? Are you looking for a
future life mate? Are you look-
ing for a good time or an easy
ride? Whatever you came in
search of at Southern Adventist
University this year, let your
search begin and end with
God— your Creator and
This year will be filled with
ups and downs. But putting
God first in our lives will make
the ups even more precious and
the downs much more
endurable. Matthew puts it
this way, "But seek first his
kingdom and his righteous-
ness, and all these things will
be given to you as well,"
(Matthew 6:33).
My name is Melissa Turner,
and I am a senior English/print
journalism double major and a
rehgion minor. Looldng back
on the past three years, I have
experienced lots of ups and
plenty of downs. We all do.
I've learned, sometimes the
hard way, that as a college stu-
dent, I have to trust completely
in God to make everytWng in
my life work together for good.
Sometimes it seems that the
hands of time have been held
back for me to meet deadlines.
Other times, I have foimd great
strength to do things that I
would never choose to do— like
public speaking. God is so
good to us, even when we are
too distracted to notice it.
As this year's religion editor,
it is my hope that amidst the
distractions of college life and
living in today's world, the reli-
gion section will give our cam-
pus an extra boost of inspira-
tion through news and features
that will strengthen our own
relationships with God as well
as inform us about how ^ve can
witness and help spread the
Gospel.
I hope to see more personal
testimonies and stories about
various ministries and out-
reach programs that will
inspire readers in their own
evangelistic endeavors. I hope
to provide students with more
information about local
churches, so they can find a
church family they will feel
comfortable joining. And, most
of all, I hope to hear from our
Southern Accent readers as to
how we can make this year's
rehgion section more meaning-
ful to them.

ments, suggestions or story tips

Campus Ministries reload
v^dth new student firepower
Whether you are a returning
student or a new student,
tilings are shaping up, and with
that in mind, Campus
Ministries is reloading for
another school year by launch-
ing its annual Ministry Expo on
Friday, Sept. 17. We're letting
students knowtlie role ministiy
plays in Southern's spiritual
life, and providing information
about opportunities for stu-
dents to get involved,
The Ministry Expo will take
place on the soccer field
bet\veen A. W. Spaulding
Elementary and the Collegedale
Church, weather permitting.
With ministry, it is always
about people, whether they are
serving or being served— people
are needed. The main question
that many students probably
ask about Soutliern's ministries
is, "Why join a ministry at all?"
To find a more personalized
answer to this question, stu-
' dents arewelcome tostep'over '
to the Chaplain's Office, located
right next to Campus Ministries
in the student center, and chat
with Ken Rogers, SAU campus
chaplain. To put it simply,
active ministr>' is where the
rubber meets the road in the
Christian faith.
With more than 30 min-
istries here on campus, many
students might be asking,
"What ministries are there?"
"How do you choose which one
to get involved with?" and
"Wliich one is best for me?"
The Ministry Expo is bound to
shed some light, but if you are
an eager student and want to
know more now, check out their
Web site at

Sloan was

where she went into surgery early Sunday
morning. The surgery took less than two
hours, and Sloan was released later that
day.
Initially, doctois said Sloan's recovery
would take about four to six weeks. But
with her good health, they reduced it to
only three weeks.
"Her recovery is much quicker
because of her hfestyle choices and good
eating habits," said Harold Mayer, associ-

for the upcoming Cohutia Springs Triatholon.
Get ready for Cohutta Triathlon
Valerie Walker
Stacey Beardsley is a seasoned
triathlon racer and this year is no excep-
tion— she's been participating since she
was 15 years old.
Beardsley is tiaining for the 21st
annual Sunbelt/Cohutta Springs
Triatiilon at Cohutta Springs Adventist
Center in Crandall, Ga., on Sunday, Oct.
3. The race starts at 12:30 p.m. witii reg-
istration from 10:30 a.m. to ii:45 a.m.
on race day. The cost ranges from $30
to $55 for an individual and $55 to $70
for a relay team depending on registra-
tion times.
In addition to exercise and competi-
tion this year's triathlon will feature tiie
Champion Chip system. Participants
will wear the radio-frequency-identifi-
cation chip to ensure time accuracy at
each leg of the one-half-mile swim, 18-
mile bike and 4-mile run sections.
"It's competitive," said Kari Schultz,
race co-coordinator and director of stu-
dent life & activities at Southern.
While Beardsley regulariy trains
mornings and evenings 4-5 days a week
to get ready for the event, she doesn't do
it for the trophies. She does it for the
exercise and tiie love of the sport.
"I just want to do well enough to beat
my personal best," Beardsley said.
And this year she recruited a friend
— fellow senior elementary education
major MaryAnn Bostrom.
"What's neat about this stuff is that
it's addicting and being around others
who do it makes it contagious,"

Hazen plans to visit about

"When we visit schools, we

Besides encouraging

Monday for a "mistake in judg-
ment" in its story, claiming it
was misled by the source of doc-
uments that several experts have
dismissed as fakes.
The Associated Press, told USA
Today that he had agreed to turn
over the documents to CBS if the
network would help arrange a

Burkett's number to the cam-

Burkett admitted, this week-

hasn't been able to conclusively

nitely tell whether they're fakes.
But tlie network has given up try-
ing to defend them.
"Based on what we now know,
CBS News cannot prove that the
documents are authentic, which
is the only acceptable journalistic
standard to justiiy using them in

should not have used them."

Bush addresses United Nations | Palestinian terrorist strike
UNITED NATIONSCAP)
President Bush delivered an
unapologetic defense of his
decision to invade Iraq, telhng
. the United Nations Tuesday
that his decision "helped to
deliver the Iraqi people from
an outlaw dictator " Later,
Bush condemned the behead-
ing of a U S hostage by an
Islamic militant.
Bush's speech to the U.N.
General Assembly, running
just 24 minutes, appealed to
the world community to join
together in supporting the new
Iraqi interim government. He
included an appeal for intensi-
fving the global war against
terrorism and for focusing
energies on humanitarian mis-
sions, from helping to end the
bloody violence in Sudan to
combating AIDS in Africa.
Two years after he told the
world body that Iraq was a
"grave and gathering danger"
and challenged delegates to
live up to their responsibility,
Bush strongly defended his
decision to lead a coalition
that overthrew Saddam
Hussein's regime without the
blessings of the U.N. Security
Council.
He spoke shortly after U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan
opened the 191-nation gather-
ing with a warning that the
"rule of law" is at risk around
the world. Annan last week
asserted that the U.S.-led inva-
sion of Iraq "was illegal"
because it lacked such Security
Council approval.
"No one is above the law,"
President Bush, i
Nirmala, the Supei
sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly i^ N^w^York '
Tuesday.
Annan said. He condemned
the taking and killing of
hostages in Iraq, but also said
Iraqi prisoners had been dis-
gracefully abused, an implicit
criticism of the U.S. treatment
of detainees at Abu Ghraib
prison near Baghdad.
Bush, meeting with the
interim Iraq leader after the
session, condemned the
beheading this week of U.S.
hostage Eugene Armstrong.
The CIA has determined that
the voice on a tape of the
beheading was Islamic mili-
tant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
and that al-Zarqawi was likely
the person who did the
beheading.
"We all stand in solidarity
with the (remaining)
American that is now being
held captive," Bush said.
Bush told a subdued U.N.
session that terronsts believe
that "suicide and murder are
justified ...And they act on
their beliefs." He cited recent
terror acts, including the death
of children earher this month
in their Russian school house
"The Russian children did
nothing to deserve such awful
suffering and fright and
death," the president said
Bush reached out to the
international organization to
help with the reconstruction of
Iraq, noting that the prime
minister of Iraq's interim gov-
ernment Ayad Allawi was
among those attending the
"The U.N. and its member
nations must respond to Prime
Minister Allawi's request and
do more to help build an Iraq
that is secure, democratic, fed-
eral and free," he said.

charged that the men were

Israel is planning to with-
draw its soldiers and dismantle
all 21 Jewish settlements in
Gaza ne.\-t year, and analysts
predict escalating violence as
the pullout approaches.
Palestinian militants are
trying to show that they are
ejecting the Israelis b\ force,
while Israel is just as deter-
mined to hit the militants and
demonstrate that it would not
tolerate attacks after the with-
drawal.
The military released a
statement saying the two
Hamas militants it killed "were
on their way to launch Qassam
rockets at Israeli targets." It
said they were "senior" Hamas
figures from the Boureij

The target in the Monday
strike was a small four-wheel-

Have you ever been in a con-

and you are oh-so-happy to
inform them that you are an

response, it's usually something
like, "Southern WHAT

one happened when I was on a

was engaged in a pleasant conver-

and she gave me a puzzled look.
An awkward silence reigned for a
few seconds. Finally she said,
'Aren't you those guys from

honest.
So why is it that we Adventists
are often confused with polyga-

Is it because we dress funny?

Fhp-flopper-in-Chief: Episode 2— The List
Last week I made the claim that President

4. Campaign Finance Reform: During the
2000 Republican Presidential Primary, one of
then Governor Bush's greatest disagreements
with Senator John McCain was the issue of
campaign finance reform. Gov. Bush opposed
the McCain-FeingoId campaign finance reform
bill being debated in Congress. He called it an
"infringement on free e.xpression."
[Washington Post, 3/28/2000]
Almost two years to the day later
President Bush discovered that cam-
paign finance reform was an issue
that the majority' of Americans sup-
ported, so he completely reversed his
position on the McCain- Feingold
bill. "[T]hisbill improves the current
system of financing for Federal cam-
paigns, and therefore I have signed it
into law." [President Bush,

5. Osama bin Laden: The most important
thing is to find Osama bin Laden. Ifs our

Turns out Osama bin Laden was an accom-

ming up support for his Iraq war he casually
dismissed the fact that bin Uden was still at

m
Church uses geocache as a witnessing tool
Melissa Turner
The McDonald Road
Seventh-day Adventist Church
has recently caught on to the
Geocaching craze by hiding its
own Geocache on its church
property. In the past, hobby-
ists have enjoyed using metal
detectors or the traditional
map and compass to find hid-
den treasure. Recently, a high-
tech version of the traditional
treasure hunt has emerged
since the new hand-held GPS
(Global Positioning System)
has come out on the market.
The GPS is a satellite-driven
electronic compass, which
when it is used for
Geocaching, as the new pas-
time is called, will aid the
Geocacher in pinpointing the
exact longitude and latitude of
a particular Geocache site.
But the McDonald Road
Church's Geocache has more
to offer than the typical toys or
trinkets found in other
Geocachea— the church uses
its Geocache as a witnessing
tool, filling it with religious
books and literature for visit-
ing Geocachers to take with
them and read. "Our mission
in placing this cache on the
church property is to encour-
age a good outdoor family
activity, and to witness
through the literature we keep
stocked in the cache," Eva
Burchard said. Eva and her
husband Tony are in charge of
the McDonald Road Church's
Geocache.
They have placed a variety
of Seventh-day Adventist
books and magazines in the
Geocache, including Ellen
White's "Finding Peace
Within" and children's maga-
zines such as "Primary
Treasures" and "Little
Friends." A book tracing the
McDonald Road S.D.A.
Church's history and each
weekly bulletin is also avail-
able in the Geocache. "We
hope someone who hasn't
been to church in a while will
come to look for the Geocache
and see how much the church
has grown and maybe decide
to come and visit and become
reacquainted with the church
again," Burchard says,
To get started in
Geocaching, Geocachers need
a GPS. According to www.geo-
caching.com, GPS units can
range in prices starting at
$100 for a basic unit, all the
way up to $1,000. Once
Geocachers have acquired a
GPS unit, they can utilize
Geocache websites, such as
www.geocaching.com, in order
to find the longitude and lati-
tude of Geocache sites hidden
in their community.
Since the McDonald Road
Church first hid its Geocache
on June 3, 2004, forty people
have discovered the Geocache
and signed the logbook that is
kept in the cache box. "We
would love to see your name
on the logbook, so go get your
GPS, or a friend who has one,
and go find it," Burchard says,
"The coordinates are— N 35°
04335 W 085° 00.213."

The Ethos Percussion
Group will be performing on

duced a compact disc filled
uith challenging, yet under-
standable percus.sive
music. '^ The New York

togetherness, sensitivity and
zest." Ethos also hosts their
own educational program
called, Bing, Bang! Boom! in
New York City and actively
serves in an outreach pro-
gram named, WorldBeat.

Collegedale extends Wolftever Creek greenway

New construction is underway oi

'Tm excited to see the greenway

Southern and greenway walker.
The latest phase wUl be finished in a
few months and add six-tenths of a mile
to the current mile and a half pathway,
which starts at the Imagination Station
and ends near Tucker Road.
The newest addition, phase three, will
connect Spalding Drive to the Nature

Michelle Tumes performs live
Jessica Crandall
Dozens of cell phones lit up
)the Michelle Tumes' concert
Monday night. But this
they were used to support the
program, not detract from it.
"Everyone was waving their
cell- phones in the air, so you
could teli they were into it," said
Angelic DaviJa, a Forest Lake
Academy senior.
Even Tumes appreciated it.
"Great lights!" Tumes said,
laughing.
Tumes' concert was part of
the ViewSoutheni weekend,
marking her second appearance
in Collegedale. When the con-
temporary Christian
singer/ songwriter was asked tn
return this year after performing
at Southern in 2002, she wa.s
happy to fly in from California.
"I love the campus and tlie
atmosphere," Tumas said, "flie
students [are] nice and lively,
but respectable."
This year's concert was free to
ViewSouthern participants,
Southern students and faculty,
and open to the community for
$5.
Southern's guest relations
coordinator Vanessa Kepper was
also eager for her to return.
"She interacts well with tlie
crowd, and eveiyone likes Iier
music," Kepper said.
On a sofUy-lit stage set witli a
microphone and piano, Tumes
performed songs from her previ-
ously-i-eleased albums and from
a new project.
Tumes gained a new fan in
freshman computer animation
miyor Kelly McQurg, who had
Joker Olympic results
not heard of her until the per-
formance.
"I really liked how relaxed and
laid-back she was. She got her
audience involved," McCIurg
said.
But some thought the audi-
ence was too noisy.
"1 don't think people who sit
in tlie back and talk the whole
time should get credit for being
here," student finance counselor
Angela Aalboard said. "Tliis is a
big-time tiling, and for people to
come in and act like little kids
was really distracting."
Tumes ended the concert with
an audience-requested encore
before meeting with students to
sign autographs. She wanted
students to leave her concert
with hope and peace.
"If anybody is going througli
struggles, I hope they find God"s
peace," Tumes said about her
ministry. "It's not about me; it's
about all of us together, worship-
ping God."

Southern students and
alumni working for Webpros,
a business run through the
Software Technology Center,
the National President's
Award for Marketing
Excellence with their custom
site design for the Boy Scouts
of America.
"It was definitely a learn-
ing lesson in information
organization, and also work-
ing with the client to main-
tain the structure and
design," said Jason Bryner, a
recent Southern graduate and
lead designer on the site. "I've
learned how to apply what
I've learned in school, and
also learned a lot of things
they can't teach you in
school."
More than 300 Web
designs were judged by a
team of 18 marketing, adver-
tising and public relations
professionals, according to
the Boy Scouts of America
press release.
"To win a national award is
a credit to the creativity and
talent of the Webpros design
and technical teams," said

Six sentenced in the 2000 bombing of USS Cole
u
A Yemeni judge sentenced
two men to death and four
others to prison terms ranging
from five to lO vears
Wednesday, the i
tions and sentences for the
2000 suicide bombing of the
USS Cole, an attack blamed on
Osama bin Laden's terror net
Saudi-born Abd al-Rahim
al-Nashiri, who is in U S cus
tody at an undisclosed loca-
tion, and Jamal al-Badawi, a
35-year-old Yemen
both sentenced to death for
plotting, preparing and
involvement in the bombmg
which killed 17 U.S. sailors as
their destroyer refueled in the
southern Yemeni port of
Aden.
Al-Nashiri, believed to be
the mastermind of the Oct. 12,
2000, bombing, was tried in
absentia, and it was not clear
how the ruling would affect
his detention. Four American
officials who attended the
sentencing refused to com-
ment on the trial, as did U.S.
Embassy officials in Yemen.
A small bout guards the USS Cole i
The Other five defendants
were present in the heavily
guarded court to hear the sen-
tences. In reading the verdict,
Judge Najib al-Qaderi pointed
to the prosecution's statement
that al Badawi and al-Nashiri
bought the speedboat that the
bombers used to ram the Cole.
"This verdict is an
American one and unjust,'
Badawi yelled from behind
the bars of a couri:room cell
after the judge sentenced him
to death. "There are no human
ights in the worid, except for
the Americans. All the
Muslims in the world are
being used to serve American
interests."
The United States
announced al-Nashiri's arrest
in 2002. He was detained in
the United Arab Emirates and
transferred to American cus-
tody. U.S. officials believe he
is a close associate of Saudi-
born bin Laden, who is
believed to have mastermind-
ed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks,
Al-Nashiri is also suspected
of helping direct the 1998
bombings of U.S. embassies in
Kenya and Tanzania.
Death sentences are rou-
tinely handed down by
Yemeni courts. Execution is
id out by a firing squad.

demned to death, denounced
the decision and told The

California regulators okay world's
toughest vehicle emissions rules
The Southern Accent 5
S ANGELES {AP)
California has adopted the
world's first rules to reduce
greenhouse emissions for autos
taldng what supporters see as a
dramatic step toward cleanmg
up the environment but also
ensuring higher costs for dri\ ers
The rules may lead to sweep-
ing changes in vehicles nation-
wide, especially if other states
opt to foUow California's exam
pie. New York has aheady said it
will follow the regulations, and
several other states are expected
to do the same.
Under the regulations, unani-
moiisly approved Friday by the
California Air Resources Board,
the auto industry must cut
exhaust from California's cars
and light trucks by 25 percent
and from larger trucks and sport
utihty vehicles by 18 percent
"In the short term we proba
bly won't see much effect
because global warming is a very
long-term problem," said Terry
Tamminen, secretary of the
California Environmental
Protection Agency. "People
won't see immediate benefits
from this but they need to
understand that their children
will."
The board said its research
had found that the regulations
would result in vehicle price
increases that would top out at
about $1,000 more per vehicle
by 2016. The auto industry has
estimated the increase at about
$3,000, but the board's staff said
that number was exaggerated.
The industry will have until
2009 to begin introducing clean-
er technology, and will have until
2016 to meet the new exhaust
standards. The proposals would
require automakers to reduce
emissions by using such techno-
logical innovations as better air
conditioners, more efficient
transmissions and smaller
engines.
They said the emissions can
also lead to serious respiratory
problems, especially among chil-
dren, by exacerbating smog. Los
Angeles has the worst smog
problem in the nation
But Glona J Bergqmst a
spokeswoman for the mdustrv
trade group Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers, said
the regulations would only
reduce worldwide emissions of
greenhouse gases by "one-tenth
of 1 percent."
"We see that as no apparent
health benefit at a great cost to
California consumers," she said.
Bergquist said manufacturers
are already working to produce
cleaner vehicles but introducing
the technology required under
the regulations would be "almost
as complicated as developing the
first automobile."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who supports the regulations,
has pledged to fight any lawsuits
brought by automakers.
Cahfomia, with an estimated
26 miUion vehicles on the road,
has long been a leader m auto
motive and environmental
trends, and the new standards
could have a coast to coast
effect. Because California repre-
sents 10 percent of the national
auto market, the auto industry
often overhauls all of its cars to
meet California's standards.
Because it began regulating
pollution before the federal gov-
ernment, California is the only
state able to set its own vehicle
pollution standards. Other states
can adopt either the federal stan-
dards or Califomia'sA July poll
by the Public Policy Institute of
California showed 81 percent of
Californians support limiting
campaign spearheaded
by environmental groups, more
than 112,000 people wrote cards
or letters urging the governor to
continue his support for the law.
Conan O'Brien to take over Late Show in 2009
NBVlORKtAP)
Jay Leno's takeover as host of
NBC's "Tonight" show in 1992
was fraught with drama and bad
feelings, but he's assured the
next transition will be as smooth
as his nightly sign-off: "Stay
tuned for Conan.'
The comedian and NBC on
Monday chose the 50th anniver-
sary of the first "Tonight- show
to set a special date for the 5Sth
when Leno will step down and
Conan O'Brien becomes the fifth
host of the television institution.
Announcing a transition in
five years is odd for any busi-
ness, let alone one that fi-equent-
ly plans fi-om day-to-day, but
NBC was atLxious not to lose
O'Brien. The 4i-year-oId "Late
Night" host was considered like-
ly to jump to another network
without a promise of advance-
ment
Leno beat out David
Letterman for the "Tonight" job,
sparking a feud that lives on and
was even the subject of a book
and movie, "The Late Shift"
O'Brien's show, which imme-
diately follows Leno on NBC,

The economy grew at a faster pace this spring than previ-

weeks of the presidential race. The 3.3 percent annual groivth

1 Ask Big Debbie anything
Dear Big Debbie,
My friends tell me never to
study on Saturday night, but I
find myself with too much
homework to do on Sunday. I
end up having to stay up late
Sunday night to get it all done.
Nobody studies on Saturday
night; it is sacred. But I don't
know what else to do. Help!!
Wish-I- Was-Sl eeping
Dear Wish-I-Was-Sleeping,
Southern students will prob-
ably never escape the fact that
life is unbalanced. While you
may have to spend more time
studying than having fun, recre-
ation is still a vital factor. Vou
need to have some time set
away as "recess," during which
you can truly enjoy the social
opportunities college has to
offer. After all, these are the best
years of our lives.
Now the "recess" you choose
does not have to fall on
Saturday night. However, since
that is when the majority of stu-
dents do not study, that is prob-
ably the time when you will
encounter the most possibilities
for enjoyment. I personally
have sworn never to do home-
work on Saturday night; here
e a few tips that have helped
me.
Try studying on Friday after-
noon. This block of time is often
frittered away by students who
are just so excited that they
have made it to the weekend
that they don't realize how
many hours they spend doing
nothing between their last class
and vespers. I know homework
is the last thing you want to do
on Friday, but it will actually go
faster while the material is fresh
in your brain.
Get up an hour early on
Sunday. I reahze that Sunday is
set aside for sleepmg in. But
many people take this to the
extreme, even getting more
sleep than they need. If you try
waking up one horn" earlier than
usual on Sunday, you will prob-
ably feel more alert the rest of
the day. And you gained an hour
of productive time.
Study in the library. If you
study in your room, friends with
less homework than you will be
there to distract you. Libraries
suppress fun on purpose. Take
advantage of the oppressive
atmosphere; youll want to get
your studies done as quickly as
possible. You'll probably be able
to concentrate better too.
National depression screening day coming up
People say college is sup-
posed to be "the time of your
life." You meet friends that last
a lifetime and have the free-
dom to do what you want. But
for many, college life can be
difficult. Many students are
left feeling stressed, anxious,
disconnected, and alone.
In order to help students
cope, Counseling & Testing
and the School of Education
and Psychology at Southern
Adventisl University are now
offering education and screen-
ings for a range of common
emotional conditions that
often go undiagnosed and are
misunderstood.
If you or someone you know
have symptoms including sad-
ness, anger, stress, weeping,
fatigue, constant worrying,
nightmares, or yo-yoing
between being elated and
being down. National
Depression Screening Day can
help you figure out what is
wrong.
"Students need to under-
stand that depression and anx-
iety are not character flaws or
personal weaknesses, They are
illnesses that are highly
responsive to treatment. If
you have not been feeling like
yourself lately, you should
come and take a free, anony-
mous screening," said Dr. Jim
Wampler, director of counsel-
ing & testing.
Counseling and Testing and
the School of Education and
Psychology will be offering
free, confidential screenings
for depression, bipolar disor-
ders, anxiety, and post-trau-
matic stress disorders. At the
screening, you will fill out a
questionnaire and talk with a
counselor about your personal
situation. Even if you don't
have a mood or anxiety disor-
der and are just going through
a couple of bad days, you are
invited to come take advantage
of the program and learn about
what services are available on
campus. You may learn some-
thing that will help you or a
friend in the future.
Questions you might be
asked at the screening event
include:
Have you lost pleasure in
things you used to enjoy?
Do you have trouble sleep-
ing or eating?
Does your mood fluctuate
between overly "high" to sad
and hopeless?
Are you keyed up and anx-
ious all the time?
Are you having nightracures
about something that hap-
pened in the past?
The screenings and infor-
mation sessions are being held
Thursday, October 7, from
11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the
Student Center and noon to 6
p.m. in the residence hall lob-
bies. Call Counseling &
Testing at 2782 for more infor-
mation.
Christian music review
Relient K. This band is tlie
standard for any Cliristian
punk band. Their style can be
compared with Blinlt 182,
Fountains of Wayne, Kids In
The Way, etc. Distinctive to
Relient K is their ability to
incorporate humorous lyrics
while keeping a sense of spiri-
tual depth. Their most recent
album, "Two Lefts Don't
Make A Right... But Three
Do," rips through 15 tracks,
with tjTjical punk-like style.
Not much has changed in
relationship to their first two
albums. If you enjoyed them
you will find a nice home in
"Two Lefts..."
My synopsis: Relient K
continues to find ways to
incorporate sarcastic humor
into their lyrics. Their style
finds little change and contin-
ues to be the forerunner of
Christian punk bands. And I
did hear a few good songs on
the album. However, if you do
not like punk, their style will
only give you a headache. This
album seemed to lack the
diversity of softer and harder
songs that their first two
albums had.
Rating; I give this album a

Opinion
Letter to the editor
Its kind of sad to see that
this year's election is not so
much about which candidate
to vote for, but which candi-
date NOT to vote for. All I've
seen so far in the Bush/Kerry
debate (or the not-Kerry/not-
Bush debate) is why the other
candidate would make a terri-
ble President. And now this
has spread to the Accent as
well Our Head-to-Head
columnists haven't told us.
what their respective candi-
dates will do if elected, but
after last week's article, we
are sure of one thing: they are
both politicians.
So what is there to look for-
ward to? Lauritzen discovers
a secret memo from Bush out-
lining plans to invade Iran?
Morse digs up photos of Kerry
posing with the Viet-Cong?
I'm sure I speak for at least a
few people when I say, "We
don't care." Give us some-
thing we can't already find on
the news channel in the
Student Center, like a list of
states where our votes can
actually make a difference
(Tennessee, Florida, and
Michigan, to name a few), or
information about absentee
ballots, or maybe, and this
might be going too far, an out-
line of each candidate's plat-
form.
Anyone can parrot dirty
politics, but can anybody be
bold enough to support their
candidate instead of trashing
the other one? I guess we'll
find out.

1 the heels of fhe most
election in
merican histoiy. Congress passed the Help
merica Vote Act. It was a sweeping $3.8 bil-
311 piece of legislation meant to encourage
ate? to implement voting reforms.
Mush with their newfound wealth, many
ates clamored to buy new touch screen vot-
I ing machines— the supposed wave of the elec-
I toral fliture. America was ready to put hang-
|ing, dimpled, and yes, even pregnant chads
■behind her. Certainly, these new electronic
voting machines would be the solution to our
I electoral woes, wouldn't th^?
Certainly not. A number of problems
[ plague the electronic voting machines. First,
) standard against which to test a
' given machine. An electronic voting machine
is deemed acceptable or unacceptable with no
basis except the whim of an election certifica-
tion company representative.
These representatives are supposedly inde-
pendent, but are paid to do the certification by
voting machine vendors and sign confidentied-
ily agreements with them. Executives at two of
the three major vendors have made significant
•^^"ipaign contributions to the Republican
Party.
A second problem with electronic voting
•nachmes is their lack of a printed record of
"le vote. This brings up several issues. How do
voters know their vote is being recorded accu-
^tely? If potential voters don't trust the voting
■ system, wiU they even turn out to vote? What
happens if the need for a manual recount aris-
es?
Last January, a local election in Florida's
Broivard and Palm Beach counties saw 10,844
votes cast in one race with Ellyn Bogdanoff
winning by just 12 votes. Florida law requires
results that close to be verified by a manual
recount, but because all precincts had used
paperless electronic voting machines, a
recount was impossible.
A diird problem with electronic voting
machines is their vuberability to mechanical
glitches and human tampering. During tests of
Maryland's new voting machines this sum-
mer^ hackers were able to breech die "secure"
software and change votes within just ten
minutes.
Another recent case saw 5,352 Indiana vot-
ers mexplicably cast 144.000 votes. Still
another instance found Virginia voting
machines subti^cting votes fi-om a candidate's
total rather than adding to it. This is hardly tiie
voting reform Congress had in mind.
So whafs the solution to the intricacies of
voting reform? The Caltech/MIT Voting
Technology Project was set up just after the
2000 election to answer that very question. It
found tiiat optical scanning technology pro-
duced the roost accurate election results.
Small wonder, though. TTie/ve been using
that for years on standardized tests such as tiie
SAT. Shouldn't we afford our countiys elec-
tions the same accuracy?

The Presidential election of 2000.
It was an experience in drama and
nit-picking that has prompted count-
less jokes when we meet people
named Chad. It was an experience
that has prompted countless demon-
strations and court hearings. It was
an experience that made some people
doubt and belabor our electoral sys-
tem. It was an experience that has
prompted commercials that encour-
aged voters in Florida to "press just a
little harder." But was it such a horri-
ble event? Did it detract from the
election process? Did it show the need
for changes? Did it?
Not really. Our election system and
the way we vote are just fine. Oh sure,
everything needs a little tune-up
every once in a while, but the system
itself doesn't gum up. It's the people
that use it.
During the 2000 election, some
complained that the ballots given to
voters were too complex and confus-
ing, causing some votes to be cast for
"the wrong candidate." When the
exact same ballots were given to a
group of fourth graders and they were
instructed to vote for specific candi-
dates, nearly 95 percent of them
punched their ballots correctly. So
sue me, I'm going to ruffle some
feathers with what I'm about to say.
but I think it's true. If you can't func-
tion on a high enough intellectual
level to be able to punch a simple bal-
lot card, then you don't deserve to he
picking the person to lead this coun-
try.
Do you want to know the real prob-
lem with elections in this country?
Someone has to lose. And it's always
the loser who thinks he's been slight-
ed, it's always the loser who has to
look for even the sliglitest crack to
give him a second chance. It's always
the loser that drags the defeat out
until the end. The problem with our
electoral system is not the system
itself, but those that think the system
only works if it works in their favor.
Selfishness and arrogance is what
made the 2000 election drag on for
the duration that it did. Take out
those, elements and you have an elec-
toral system that puts others in this
world to shame. Mbc the greed, lust
for power, and reftisal to lose gra-
ciously back into the elections, and
you've got what the rest of the world
laughed at for years.
Don't knock a good thing. The sys-
tem works, it has worked, and it will
continue to work as long as the people
using it don't become so inept as to
inadvertently make a shambles of it.

Praise the Lord
The Student Association
along with Campus Ministries
sponsored a trip to Century,
Fla. to help with the disaster
response group from the
Florida Conference.
Century is a small town
about 30 minutes away from
Pensacola, off the border of
Alabama. The town was out of
electricity since hurricane Ivan
hit, except for the main strip
were City Hall was located. The
Mayor, Evelyn Hammond, was
praying for someone to come
assist them to rebuild and get
back on their feet. Tlie Disaster
Response team was pra\nng for
God to lead them to a pUice
that needed much help. The
state then called the team and
suggested Century, Fla. They in
turn asked Southern Adventist
University for assistance, and
14 volunteers jumped at the
opportunity to minister.
The trip was a great bless-
ing, not only for those that suf-
fered loss due to hurricane
Ivan, but also for those who
volunteered to help. The peo-
ple of Century, Fla were grate-
ful that students were there to
help pass out food, ice and
water, and to repair the roofs.
We had the opportunity to
minister to those who have
never heard of the SDA church,
and to make friends mth the
people of Century.
We were motivated by the
Bible text found in Matthew
25:40, where Jesus says that
■ .inasmuch as you did it to
one of the least of these Mv
brethren, you did it unto Me."
And although trees were do%vn
and roofs were damaged, tlie
Pwple of Centmy, Fla learned
and understood that they can
still "Praise the Urd".
It seemed \
. ily one who noticed this dis-
cussion. Everyone else was
letting THAT on preoccupied with cell phone
shouted the stalky conversations and their morn-
ing papers.
I, however, was astonished
at this man who had such ani-
mosity for a woman he had
never met. The young woman
wasn't wearing a head cover-
ing, but she did look Arab, and
for this reason ali
seated next to m
contempt for her.
For a moment I thought I
was transported back in time
to an era where segregation
was common in our country. I
never imagined that in 2004,
hatred and bigotry for those
unlike one's self would still be
so prevalent.
Stereotypes like "all Arabs

man next to me as he jolted
me from my daydream at the
O'Hare airport in Chicago. He
was directing his question
towards the ticket agent who
had just been handed the tick-
et of a woman boarding a
flight to North Carolina. The
"That" was not an animal or
an oversized package; instead
it was a well-dressed woman
running to catch her plane.
The man followed up his
comment with another state-
ment even more vicious than
the first. "I won't get on a
flight with that," he stated.
The bewildered attendant
seemed hesitant to respond
but then told the man, "She's
going to Greensboro." For the
moment he was silenced, as
his flight was bound for
Chattanooga, Tenn.

I will probably never see
the man seated next to me
again, but I hope that some-
where on his flight throngb
this life he will unload his bag-

People of the Book
What type of Christian are
you? Ever stopped to think
about it? Recently I've been
thinking about it a lot. I've
really begun to evaluate what
type of Christian I am. Now, I
don't mean that I'm trying to
figure out if I'm a good or bad
Christian; what I'm trying to
find out is what type of
Christian I am. The key to
answering this question lies in
what 1 consider my rule of faith
and practice. What do I beheve
and why?
Seventh-day Adventists
used to be known as the
"People of the Book." What an
honor to be known as
ChrisHans who are dedicated to
the Bible! Unfortunately I
rarely hear this said of us any-
more. In fact, until recently I
never even knew we once had
that title. It seems to me that
we have strayed from our solid
foundafions. Instead of being
Bible Christians, we are Max
Lucado Christians, C.S. Leivis
Chnshans or even Ellen White
Christians. -While these may all
have their o%™ value, their
greatest value must be in
greeting us back to the Bible,
"we spend more time reading
bout the Bible than actuSy
reading ,t, we are in danger of
booming something othe
than sola scriptura Christians.
Paid had similar problems
with the Christians in Corinth
(1 Corinthians 3:1-11). Some
said they followed Paul, while
others claimed to follow
Apollos. Paul told them that
both he and Apollos were only
servants and that they needed
to have Jesus Christ as their
true foundation. If our desire
is to have Christ as our founda-
tion, then our rule of faith must
be based on His written word
to us: the Bible.
I'm not saying throw out all
your devotional and inspira-
tional books, but at least set
them aside long enough to see
what the Bible itself has to say.
Or take what they have to say
and compare it to what the I
Bible actually says (Acts 17:13). [
We cripple ourselves when w
limit our knowledge of the I
Bible to what others say about I
it. Our dependence on sourca I
outside the Bible has negatively I
influenced our teaching (yes, |
even here at Southern), [
ing and personal lives.
3:15 tells us to always be pre- 1
pared to give the reason for 01
hope. Quoting Ellen White (c
anyone else) doesn't cut it; w
need to be able to give our rea
sons straight from the Bible.
I encourage you to join nie |
in a return to the E"
maybe one day we will ontt|
again be known as the "P*
of the Book."

runs in the first inning and

\\a\ to a 16-2 victory over the
jiiexiously unbeaten Patriots.
I.indsey Ford got things going
e,irl\. cracking a moon shot
home run to deep left field.
She also hit a double in the
fourth to fan the flames of the
Patriots' problems. Team
Friendly wasn't done yet, as
they continued to tattoo the
ball. Heidi Reiner stopped,
dropped, and rolled into
home plate to cap scoring for
Team Friendly. Yaiza Del
Valle added a home run in the
first as well. Cheered on by a
foam-fingered fan, Carrie
Carman played well for the
Patriots, scoring a run in the
first. However, the story of the
game was Ford, as well as the
fact that Team Friendly
played with only seven peo-
ple. "We really hustled out
there tonight," Ford said after
the game. Team Friendly
moves to 5-1 with the win.
Brawlers vs. Hustlers 2s
Matthew Rumsey
Staff Write h
On Wednesday, September
22, Softball intramurals saw
the Brawlers up against the
Hustlers 2S. In the second
inning, Matt Stevens of the
Brawlers uprooted second
base on a slide. During the
third inning, Hustlers' Bryan
Geach was able to bring in
Justin Carter for a run when
an outfielder, who wished to
remain anonymous, missed
Geach's fly. In the fifth inning,
Joey Giampa of the Brawlers
struggled between first and
second as the basemen threw
the ball back and forth. He
finally took second when first
baseman John Locke missed a
catch. Also during the fifth
inning, John Locke brought in
nan outfield-
er failed to catch the ball.
Locke was also able to score
by taking bases from two
overthrows. But those runs
were not able to secure a win
for the Hustlers, who were
beaten by the Brawlers. The
final score was 16-5. That
brings the Hustlers to a 3-1
record. The Brawlers have two
wins and three losses.

Victims still
frustrated after
Thatcher theft
Omar Bourne
The victims of last month's under-
wear theft in Thatcher Hall are unhap-
j)y with the way Campus Safety and
^CoUegedale Police are handling the
^vestigation.
"It's been three weeks since we've
heard anything from anyone," said
Maria Robberson, one of the victims.
•"It's a creepy feeling to know that the
person is still out there."
Eddie Avant, director of Campus
Bafety, said the investigation has been
turned over to the Collegedale Police
0 one has been charged.
Sergeant Eston Pyle of the
Collegedale Police Department said
"there are no new leads in the case.
Campus Safety officials are confi-
dent in the current security system, but
met last week to discuss ways in which
they could upgrade the level of security
on campus. Among measures discussed
were working with landscape services
to plant tall shrubs around buildings on
campus and the possibility of upgrad-
ing the hghting system on University
grounds.
"The measures that we have taken
are adequate to protect students, teach-
ers, and staff here at Southern," Avant
said.
Dean of Women Sharon Engel is also
confident in the security system.
"I think our safety is good here in the
dormitory, how the guy got in was a
fluke; I think he is scared to try it
again."

Hundreds compete in Triathlon
1 I ... ..11 Qv,.or.t in aptiial tpchnical prmfs With 3 ncwlv intCETated
More than 200 racers competed in
last weekend's 21st annual Cohutta
Springs Triathlon. People from across
the country tested their skills and train-
ing in swimming, road-biking and run-
ning.
"A half-mile may not look that far
when you're standing on the shore, but
trust me, it's a long way to swim," said
Anthony Vera Cruz, one of the
triathlon's coordinators.
Following the swimming portion,
contestants hurriedly changed into rid-
ing clothes and pedaled 18 miles before
running four more miles to the finish
line.
The triathlon's quickest time was
posted by Kevin Richardson of
Ringgold, Ga., with a time of i:27-42. _^
"I'm a mediocre swimmer at best,
Richardson said. "Because of my bad
knee, I never run at all except in actual
races, but I'm pretty fast on a bicycle,
and that's where I make up all my
time." Richardson said competitors
especially enjoy the Cohutta triathlon
because the course and distances are
identical every year, allowing racers to
know exactly how they have improved
or regressed in each area.
The fastest participant in the
women's division was Heidi Smith of
Alpharetta, Ga. Smith crossed the fin-
ish line with a time of 1:31:17- Smith
said she has the opportunity to train
quite regularly for races by working at
her local YMCA.
"I'm actually here in support of some
of ray students who also did the race,"
Smith said.
Smith races in several triathlons a
year, including grueling half and full
Iron-man competitions.
The entire race operation ran
smoothly, with the exception of some
technical errors with a newly integrated
computerized chip system. Each racer
wore a small computer chip system in a
leg band. Sensors at the starting and
finish lines and at transition points
along the racetrack recorded when each
competitor passed, giving up to the
minute standings and intervals
between racers. However, errors in
data entry awarded trophies to racers
who should not have won and excluded
others who had faster times. Student
Services is being tasked with sorting
through each competitor's time, deter-
mining who should have placed where
and reissuing trophies through the
mail.
"I'm really pleased with the way
things went overall and I think every-
body had a good time, but its just frus-
trating to have to go through all this
extra trouble because of some stupid
mistakes," said Kari Schultz, director of
student services.

[une 21 through August 3-
"It has been our goal to work
u Israel for several years.
Collaborating with the Hebrew
J^iversity of Jerusalem at the
largest Old Testament site in
Israel was a thrilling experience
Cid brought far-reaching
reu ards for training archaeology
students at Southern," said Dr.
Michael Hasel, director of the
School of Archaeology.
Hazor is a city that is men-
tioned in several places in the
Bible. It was built before the
itinie of Joshua, refortified by
'*So!umon and expanded by
Ahab- One of the biggest finds of
the dig ■vvas the discovery, by a
Southern student, of a figurine
of .Vsherah the fertility goddess,
who )s mentioned in the Old
Testament in connection with
another more famous pagan god
named Baal whom Ahab and
Jezebel were known to have
worshiped her and this was tan-
gible evidence that these prac-
tices went on a Hazor too.
"Its head and arms were
missing, but I recognized it
immediately because of the
paper I had just written on
cult(s) in ancient Israel," said
Giselle Hasel a graduate student
at Southern.
Students were involved in all
facets of the work, from washing
pottery to processing and
recording of artifacts.
"It was hard and grueling
work, but it was well worth it.
What an incredible experience!"
said Chris Chadwick, senior
archaeology major.
Next year plans are being laid
for the Institute of Archaeology
to participate in another a\cava-
tion season at Hazor.

Tennessee Adventist sues for
religious discrimination
Elizabethton resident Terry
Johnson is suing his former
employer, AFG Industries,
clauning he was fired for keep-
ing the Sabbath.
Before being sent out of state
on a project, Johnson claims he
informed his supervisor of his
religious beliefs, including his
Sabbath-keeping. Johnson
asked for Sabbath off, however,
his supervisor refused and
would not allow him to switch
days with another employee.
Johnson was sent on the proj-
ect, did not work on Sabbath,
and was terminated when he
returned to work in Tenn.,
according to the Associated
Press.
AFG industries is a large sup-
plier of specialty glass products
for building construction.
The AP reports that the Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission, filing on behalf of
Johnson, is seeking compensa-
tory and punitive damages in
addition to back pay. Johnson is
also seeking an injunction
against AFG to prevent them
from discriminating against
other employees on the grounds
of their religion.
John Bowles, associate gen-
eral counsel of AFG, said he
could not comment on the situa-
tion when the AP contacted him,
because his company had not
yet been served with the suit.

The hard-hitting debate
Tuesday between Vice
President Dick Cheney and
Democratic rival John Edwardh
set the stage for more of the
same in Friday's second tele-
vised presidential candidate
showdown.
Cheney and Edwards

and each other's judgment ui

appeared Wednesday in

Edwards accused the admin

vrtth the American people" on
conditions in Iraq and of pre-
siding over the biggest job loss-
es since the Depression,
"Your facts are just wrong,"
Cheney counter punched. And
at one point, he told Edwards,
"Senator, frankly, you have a
record in the Senate that's not
very distinguished."
Edwards, referring to
Cheney's long record of public
service, asserted: "One thing
that's very clear is that a long
resume does not equal good
judgment. I

sistencies that John Kerry and
you have cited time after time

i™!^ Americans share physics Nobel Peace Prize
Americans David J. Gross,
H. David Politer and Frank
Wilczelt won tlic 2004 Nobel
Prize in physics on 'niesday for
tlieir exploration of tlie force
that binds particles inside the
atomic nucleus.
Their work has helped sci-
ence gel a step closer to "fulfill-
mfi a grand dream, to formu-
late a unified Iheorj' compris-
mg gravit}' as well as a tlieory
for everjihing," the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences
said in awarding the physics
pnze.
The trio of researchers made
important Uieorctical discover-
ies "concerning the strong
force, or the 'color force' as it is
also called," the foundation
said,
The "strong force" is the
dominant force inside the
nucleus that acts between the
quarks inside the proton and
the neutron, the foundation
said in its citation.
"I'm shocked, very surprised
and honored," Gross. 63, said
on hearing he had won the
prize.
Wilczek, 53, told Swedish
radio that he would "spend the
day floating sIn feet off the
ground."
The three physicists came by
their discovery through a bril-
bant and non-intuitive insight.
They showed that unlike forces
such as electromagnetism and
gravity grow stronger as t\vo
particles get closer to one
another, and the strong force
actually gets weaker as two
quarks converge. It is as if the
particles were connected by a
rubber band that pulls them
together more tightly as it
stretches.
The academy, which also
chooses the chemistry' and eco-

European Union considers Turkey
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM (AP) r^ -^
The Southern Accent 5
The European Union's head
office on Wednesday recom-
mended the start of EU mem-
bcTship talks for Turkey, but
set stiff conditions to prevent it
from backtracking on sweep-
ing democratic and human
riglits reforms.
But while Turkey's foot is
now in the door, it's under the
threat that membership talks
Ljuld halt if reforms aren't
upheld. If membership talks
start early nex-t year, as Ankara
hopes, Turkey would not actu-
all\ join the union until 2015.
"It is a qualified yes,"
European Commission
President Romano Prodi said.
Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he
hoped talks could begin in the
lirst part of 2005.
"Turkish membership will
not be achieved overnight,"
Erdogan said at a meeting of
the parhamentary assembly of
the Council of Europe.
Erdogan said the reforms
showed his country's commit-
ment to European values of
democracy and the rule of law.
The 25 leaders of the EU
must approve the executive
Commission's recommenda-
tion at a December summit.
The recommendation said
that improvements Turkey
must make include freedom of
the press, prison reform, treat-
ment of non-Muslim minori-
ties and Kurds, and curbing
the influence of the military,
which has repeatedly seized
power in the last five decades.
Turkish leaders have argued
their country could form a
bridge between Muslim coun-
tries and Europe. But many
Europeans are wary of admit-
ting Turkey, an overwhelming-
ly Muslim country of 71 million
people, fearing it would mean
a flood of migrants into
Western Europe.
Prodi tried to ease those
fears, saying Europe has "noth-
ing to fear by the ascension of
Turkey."
He also cautioned the
process would take time.
"The path to tread is still a
long one. Obviously the path
will not be level or flat, there
will he ups and down in the
whole process," he said.
Soldiers accused of smothering Iraqi general
C.'\RSON, Colo, (AP)
Four soldiers accused of
smothering an Iraqi general
during an interrogation last fall
have been charged with mur-
der, bringing the total number

murder in Iraq to at least 10.
The soldiers could get life in

Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed
Mowhoush, 57, at Qaim, Iraq.
The Army said Mowhoush died
of asphyxiation from chest
compression and from being

The handling of Iraqi pris-
oners by U.S. troops has
become a worldwide scandal,
fed by images from the Abu
Ghraib prison. But
Mowhoush's case is rare, said
Christopher Wilson, a former
military prosecutor now in pri-
vate practice in California.
"I don't know of any other
case where a major general
died of asphyxiation during
interrogation. I doubt that this
has happened in the past 50
years," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP)
The White House refused to say Tuesday whether the top U.S.
civilian official in Iraq after Saddam Hussein's ouster had asked
the president for more troops to deal with the rapid descent of
postwar Iraq into chaos. In remarks published Tuesday, the offi-
cial, L. Paul Bremer, said he arrived in Iraq on May 6, 2003 to
find "horrid" looting and a very unstable situation, throwing new
ftiel onto the presidential campaign issue of whether the United
States had sufficiently planned for the post-war situation in Iraq.
U.S., Iraqi forces launch major
offensive
), Imq (AP)
More than 3,000 U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a major opera-
tion Tuesday against insurgent strongholds just south of
Baghdad in an area notorious for kidnappings and ambushes.
The operation in Babil province follows last week's U.S.-Iraqi
victory over insurgent forces in Samarra and appeared to be the
latest stage in a campaign to wrest control of rebel strongholds
before January's national elections. Elsewhere, a string of bomb-
ings set off clashes Tuesday between U.S. troops and gunmen in
an insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad and the northern city
of Mosul. At least five American soldiers were wounded _
underscoring the role of homemade explosives as the insurgent
weapon of choice in a country awash in military ordnance.

Iran moves to nuclear production
THERAN, Iran (AP)
Iran has produced "a few tons" of the gas needed to enrich ura-
nium, a top nuclear official gaid Wednesday, confirming the
country has defied international demands and taken a necessary
step toward producing nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons.
Uranium hexafluoride gas is the material that, in the ne.vt stage,
is fed into centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Uranium
enriched to a low level is used to produce nuclear fuel to gener-
ate electricity and enriched further can be used to manufacture
atomic bomb.

Gatlinburg: Vegas with a Southern accent
Brian Magsipoc
If you're a freshmen or simply
new lo Soutliern, you may be
bi)rctl sLMiHcless by now. After all,
who's even heait! uf Collcgcciale
ouLsiilc of Advcnlist circles? It's
surrounded by cows, horses, hills,
and trees. To put it bluntly,
there's not much lo do around
here.
However, if you're willing to
endure a t^vo-hour scenic drive,
there's Gatlinburg. Loc;iled near
the border of Tennessee and
South Cniolina, it's filled wth
things to do and surrounded by
\\w heaut>' of tlic Gmil Smoky
Mnunlains.
For those people who enjoy a
Downtown Disney/ Universal City
Walk atmosphere. Gatlinburg
satisfies.
"It's Hke Vegas, but with a
Southern accent," says Andy
Wlasniewski, junior mass com-
munication major.
Shops, restaurants, western
photo shoots, hotels, go-kart rac-
ing, and a ski resort - Gatlinburg
has enough to satisfy the hard-
core tourist or the bored dorm
student.
"Tliere's helicopter rides, a ski
resort, car shows.. .there's so
many different shops," says Stacy
Weslon, junior pre-dental
hygiene major.
Gatlinburg also has something
for those who love the outdoors.
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park offers lO different camping
areas and a variety of hiking trails
and picnic areas.
"It's a great place to get away
for the weekend," says Weston.
"Once you enter the park, they've
got great places for camping and
hiking.. .it's a great place to get
away from stress and enjoy
spending Sabbath in God's
nature."
There are a few downsides,
however. "The streets are rela-
tively narrow, so there's not a
whole lot of parking," says Shane
Gallatin, junior mass commmii-
cation major.
Traffic and congestion
problems as well.
"It's very crowded, there's a lot
of traffic, ajid it takes a long time
to get from one side of Gatlinburg
to the other if you're driving," says
Weston.
Gatlinburg, like Disney and
Universal, is also a bit expensive.
"Food is kind of expensive,"
says Wlasniewski. "But if you're
with a whole group of people and
you get a pizza, it's not that bad."
Gatlinburg is a great place to
visit, with a unique blend of the
majestic Smoky Mountains and a
Disney-like tourist center. It is

giught my attention. "Maybe

IVoters do not need to hear
about scandals in a candi-
date's past as much as they
need to hear about their plans
for the future. What vrill each
of the candidates do about
Social Security, health care,
the economy, education,
immigration, and the war on
terror? The quality of Bush's
service to the National Guard
is irrelevant to those whose
jobs have been outsourced,
and Kerry's motives for mar-
rying Teresa Heinz will nei-
ther aid nor hinder the sol-
diers who are risking their
lives in Iraq.
As Americans, we are all on
the same team and want what
is best for our country. Rather
than slinging mud at specks
in the candidates' eyes, per-
haps we should focus on
removing our country's
"planks" together.
Shaunda Helm
The heart of the matter
Last year the Accent ran an
article laying out the positions
that both Kerry and Bush took
on various issues. The article
was clean, succinct, and unam-
biguous. It allowed Accent
readers a chance to see where
the candidates stand and
decide which candidate's
stance most closely matches
their own political comictions.
The Accent article was a
template for some people's
method of selection. It went
something like this: I don't
agree with abortion. Check one
for Bush. Agree with gun con-
trol. Check one for Kerry.
Homosexual marriage is
wrong. Check one more for
Bush, etc.
On some levels, that's not a
bad way to choose a candidate.
We generally endorse the can-
didate whose beliefs line up
most nearly to our own. But
there are some places where the
check-mark method falls short.
Choosing a candidate based
on brief, direct statements of
belief or intention fails on at
least t\vo fronts. First, it does
not consider the full effects of a
behef when put into law, and
second, it does not consider the
underlying ideology or philoso-
phy of a belief.
Take for example a constitu-
tional amendment banning gay
marriage. If enacted, such an
amendment would mean the
victory of morals (based on a
Judeo-Christian world view)
over secularism. At face value,
any x-ictory for Christian morals
is a good thing in this day and
age. But consider this: when
Christian values become laws,
they essentially nullify the
beliefs (and rights) of those
outside of the Christian belief
system. Tliey impose Christian
beliefs on non-Christians. The
idea is that if we put mto law
those things that affirm and
protect Christian values, we
will prevent our morals from
being extinguished or under-
mined. Again, it's a good con-
cept at face value. However, the
question follows: can we make
society moral by creating laws
that reflect our version of
morality?
This election really isn't
about who flip-flopped more or
who will do better in Iraq. It is
about conflicting ideologies. On
one hand, tlie Republican Party
is ready to blend politics,
nationalism, democracy, and
religion in one bulky package.
On the other hand, Democrats
are very deliberate about keep-
ing religion and politics in sep-
arate arenas. The biggest threat
I see to religious freedom is a
president who blends religion
with his politics.

^h...that North Korean threat? On North Korea
|lAN LAURITZEN
Last week America was introduced to
John Ki?rr\'. I'll be the first to admit it
took him a while to find his identity
(somiihing he should have done at the
convention in July). But during the
debate last week he laid out clear posi-
regarding foreign policy issues and
gleamed a lot about what his adminis-
y would do if elected. Now, I could
gily get sucked into a discussion
irding the war m Iraq at this point,
,e part of the debate did indeed
lat very issue. But instead I'd

^^ ban on the production of material
^udear weapons. This is the first step
^^^""^iizang the North Korean nuclear
^L Unfortunately, the Bush adminis-
^■"on refuses to commit to such a ban.
Additionally, Senator Kerry recog-
nizes that the bilateral talks between the
United States and North Korea led by
President Clinton in the 1990s were
effective and North Korea was on a path
to nuclear non-proliferation as a direct
result. A Kerry administration will
reopen those talks as well as continue tiie
six-party negotiations already in progress
among the U.S., China, Japan, Russia,
South Korea, and North Korea.
Unfortunately, the Bush administiation
refuses to t^ one-on-one with North
Korea. He'd rather just get together and
talk about North Korea.
John Kerry believes we can do more to
minimize the threat North Korea poses to
our national security. During the years
followmg 9-11, the Bush administration
ignored North Korea and allowed them
to once again amass nuclear weapons.
We were on tlie right path under
President Clinton. The number of
nuclear weapons in North Korea was
felling on his watch. Senator Kerry will
return to the successful policies of the
previous decade that helped keep die
North Korean threat in check. He will
fight global nuclear proliferation with a
production ban; he will reopen bilateral
talks with North Korea (while continuing
the multilateral talks); and he will make
preventing nuclear terrorism a cabinet-
level priority. WeVe ignored North Korea
for too long. We can't afford to ignore it
any longer.
Brian Lauritzen
Timothy Morse
During the Thursday night
Presidential Debate, one of the main
subjects that kept coming up was
North Korea. Senator Kerry kept
bringing up the fact that North Korea
has developed nuclear weapons, and
he seems to think that the administra-
tion's handling of this situation has
been poor. Kerry proposes bilateral, or
direct, talks with North Korea ~ leav-
ing other nations out of the negotia-
tions. President Bush has been sup-
porting his six-nation, or multilateral,
peace negotiations. The nations
involved in the talks include China,
Japan, South Korea, and several oth-
ers. So which approach is better?
Which approach will bring about the
best results for everyone? Let's take a
look.
North Korea's despotic leader, Kim
Jong-il, has shaky control of his coun-
try. His people are starving, his gov-
ernment is scraping for cash, and the
leadership is fearful of being next on
the "axis of evil" hit list. So what do
they do? Establish a nuclear program
and seek to leverage that program into
security assurances and money from
the United States. North Korea has
demanded direct negotiations with the
U.S., and refuses thus far to partake in
multilateral talks.
So why don't we acquiesce? Is there
something v^ong with bilateral nego-
tiations? The answer must be a strong
"Yes!" For one, why not involve the
direct neighbors of North Korea,
(namely China, Japan, etc.) in the
peace process? As the closest coun-
tries to the offending party, they have
more to gain with a denuclearized
peninsula than the United States does.
And if North Korea were to deal strict-
ly with the United States, and then
renege on a deal, they would have only
slighted America. Slighting six united
nations is a decision of more severity.
The more countries that are involved
in this process, the more economic
and political pressure can be applied
to North Korea.
A nuclear agreement that is full of
compromise and appeasement is
almost equivalent to no nuclear agree-
ment at all - especially when dealing
with irrational and potentially
untrustworthy leaders like Jong-il.
This situation is not just of importance
to the United States; many nations
have vested security interests in see-
ing North Korea disarmed. I find it
humorous that Kerry would criticize
Bush for "not seeking the help of other
nations" during the war in Iraq, but
would advocate going one-on-one with
North Korea - forsaking the help of
otlier nations that stand to lose just as
much, if not more".
So, North Korea, here's our num-
ber. If you want to deal, call us.

Meet Nathan Nickel
Melissa Turner
Nathan Nickel became a full-
time student at California State
University in Dominiguez Hills
at the age of 16. He started out
studying science, but felt a call
to preach. His friends at
California State were very sur-
prised when he applied to
Southern Adventist University
and gave up the opportunity to
go to UCLA or UCSB,
Having attended public
schools and a public university,
Nathan became well acquainted
with a mixture of beliefs and
ideas. "My longest friends are a
mixture of agnostics, atheists,
Jews, and Muslims," Nathan
comments. He tried to explain
to them his urge to preach, but
they couldn't understand.
At Southern, Nathan found
Bible studies and religion class-
es intriguing, but he doubted
becoming a pastor. Nathan
went to Mongolia as a student
missionary for two years.
During this lime Nathan discov-
ered he loved working witli pas-
tors and Bible workers while
training them on a one-on-one
"I loved the cultural
exchange. I loved the rawness of
it. I loved the extremeness of it.
I'd love to get training to go back
out as a missionary because I
love the spiritual guidance on a
one-on-one basis," Nathan says.
Nathan graduated last year
from Southern with a degree in
theology. After graduation he
applied for several jobs , but
there werei/t any doors opening
up.
"Man, it was scaiy. And I
started to doubt Godj" Nathan
said.
A friend encouraged Nathan
to apply as the SAU assistant
chaplain.
"Finally, I thought, fine, 111
apply for the job. I don't want it,
I don't want to preach in front of
the university, I don't want to be
an example to the student body,
because I have enough prob-
lems of my own in my life. How
can I lead all these students
spiritually?" Nathan ques-
tioned.
But he finally turned the
application in a few weeks later,
after the due date.
"Surprisingly, they called me
for an interview. And 1 got the
position. I was shocked because
I did just about all I could to not
get the job. But for some reason
people felt impressed that God
wanted me to have it," Nathan
says in reflection.
Nathan loves being there for
people.
"Ironically, even though I felt
called to preach, I hate preach-
ing. I love one-on-one, but get-
ting up in front of groups I
despise because it scares me,"
Natiian says.
Laura Kabel, Campus
Ministries receptionist, com-
ments, "He loves for people to
be involved and he loves peo-
ple". Part of Nathan's job as
assistant chaplain this year is
simply being available if stu-
dents want to talk.
Tm here to listen to people if
they need to talk, and honestly,
I love it," Nathan says.
Nathan wants the Campus
Ministries office to be focused
on building community and
helping people in their spiritual
walks. "I want our office to be
seen not as the program setter
of our campus, but as a place
where if people want to grow
spiritually they can come and
talk. That's why God made us
into a community because He
knew this spiritual walk is
something you can't do on your
own," Nathan says.

"I wasn't confident in my

describing why he didn't

Tingle described his team's
performance by saying it was
"like they (Cinnamon Chicks)

not arrive soon enough, the Hot
Sox were awarded an extra point.
Once play got underway. Hot
Tamale's pitcher Keri Redfem
;arly struck by a hit from
teammate Nicki Parra in the
third inning. Luckily, Redfern
ducked and was not injured. In
the fifth innmg Breanne Cox was
the star. She ran home and near-
ly collided with Hot Sox catcher.
Lynn Farrow. Cox hit the dirt
after scoring. In the sixth inning,
Hot Sox Lauren Crosby and
Becky .letter ran into each other
when attempting to catch a fly
ball. As a result, the ball was not
caught and another run was
earned by Cox. As the game
came to a close. Hot Sox Jackie
Liles hit a homerun that brought
Crosby in to score. The final
score an U-io win for the Hot
Sox.

Shanelle Adams
Every two years, teams from various
Seventh-day Adventist academies come
to Southern for the Southern Union
Gymnastics Chnic.
Eight schools sent teams this year
bcluding Greater Miami Academy Mt
Pisgah Academy, and Collegedale
Academy. The chnic starts today and
mds Saturday, Oct. 16.
"The purpose is to keep gymnastics
ive in SDA schools because it is on the
dine," said Rick Schwarz associatt
jrofessor of physical education and
3ym-Masters coach.

One of the students involved with the
planning of the clinic is sophomore Tiana
Beard, Gym-Masters team manager.
"If s a lot of work," she said. "Ill be liv-
ing ill the gym."
Beard also knows how important it is
for older students from the Gym-Masters
team to get involved in the cUnic, and be
mentors.
"I think that setting a good example is
always important," Beard said. "These
gynmasts look up to us."
The weekend will end with a short
©Tnnastics program Saturday night by

The program is free of charge to any-
one who wants to come. It begins at 8

Collegedale Airport holds open house
Turning sharply to face an empty
stretch of asphalt, the Cessna 172
begins to pick up speed and the ground
drops beneath the plane.
Sara Bandel, junior journalism
major at Southern, had never flown
before.
"My family owns an airport, so I
guess that's kind of pathetic," Bandel
said. "My mom never wanted me to fly,
and I feel very liberated from her right
now."
The Collegedale Airport hosted its
annual airport day on Sunday, October
10, giving community members a
chance to tour the facility. Local pilots
and airport flight instructors gave plane
and helicopter rides. Airplane rides cost
$10, and helicopter rides were $15.
Josh Galbraith, who graduated from
Southern in May 2004, is a familiar
sight at the Collegedale airport. He's
been flying since he was young, work-
ing to get his pilot certification over
summers during high school, and is
now an employee at the airport.
"This is one of the friendliest airports
you'll ever find," Galbraith said. "You
walk in the door and they greet you
with a smile.
Ron and Sue Lowery and their dog
Jack participated in the event with an
exhibit of their recent aerial tour. For
the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, 1804-2004, photographer
Ron Lowery built and flew a small kit
plane along the path of the famous
explorers. The Lower/s were also pro-
moting their book, Chasing Lewis and
Clark Across America: A 21st Century
Aviation Adventure.
"One time, I was circling an empty
field to check the windsocks before I
landed, and as I was landing, I saw cars
streaming towards the field," Ron
Lowery said. "People would come out of
nowhere with their cameras."
Lowery said he didn't pay much
attention to history in high school, but
the Lewis and Clark expedition caught
his attention. Following their path on
the bicentennial year was fulfilling, but
not the end of the adventure.
"Once I finish one dream, I start on
another," Ron Lowery said.

Tough start for tennis intramurals
Southern's tennis intramu-
s are bouncing back after a
jgh start.
Implementing scheduling for
the first time this year, intramu-
rals organizers hoped to avoid
confusing matches.
In previous years, players had
to contact each other to arrang*
the match. And many matcht
were not played because players
could not contact each other or
proper times could not be
worked out. Last year, the tour
nament did not finish due to
scheduling difficulties.
Dr. John Hangman, intramu-
rals director, attempted to solve
this problem by schedulmg
games on Sundays. Before the
first Sunday of competition,
Pangman sent out an email
informing students of the sched
ule.
However, some of the 52 stu
dents who signed-up never
knew they were playing.
"Only a limited number nl
addresses could receive the
email," I'angman said.
Heather Whitsell was ont-
player who did not receive tlit
email.
"I wasn't aware that it had Adrida Irizmry, a nursing m^or, practices her tei
ah-eady started," said Whitsett, a Sundny in the tennis courts by ncs P.E. center.

A new policy is in effect at
the Village Market: Southern
faculty members are now able
to charge their purchases on
their ID cards.
"I feel like it's a good idea,"

In the past, faculty mem-
bers were able to charge items
to their account by filling out
a form, but now all they have
to do is swipe their card.
Mark Peach, professor of
history, eats lunch frequently
at the VM.
"Not much has changed, in
the past all we had to do is fill
out a form," Peach said. "It
just makes it faster now."
Students on campus are
slightly irritated that faculty
are given this privilege.
"It would be nice if they
would let us use our cards to
buy groceries," said Kevin
Barnhurst, sophomore social
work major
"Since they have the tech-
nological abilities they should
let the students [use their
cards]," said Sharon Adeleke,
sophomore public relations 1
major.
When a faculty member |
charges their purchase at the
VM, it is taken directly from
their salaries, as apposed to

Students should be pleased |
to know that the VM is work-
ing on letting students use
their cards,
"[Students can] put x
amount [of money] on their I
cards and use it like a debit |
card," said Jim Burrus,
Village Market store manager.
This innovation has no
release date, though; it is still I
in the works. However, this
will be a pleasant change for I
students who find it hard to |
leave campus.

Wellness center mission changed
The wellness center planned
by Southern Adventist
Universit)' has been a fleeting
dream for 18 years. Now the
dream for a $6.5 million facili-
ty on campus is materializing.
Recently, the mission of the
48,000 square foot facility has
become more focused. Its mis-
sion, said university president
Gordon Bietz, is to empower
students to make positive life
choices. He said the center is
not just an exercise facility for
students, but a center for the
entire school, and \vill fiilfai
Southern's mission of promot-
ing wellness.
Harold Mayer, associate
professor of the School of
Physical Education, Health
and Wellness, played an
important part in the center,
said Carolyn Hamilton,
Southern's acting vice presi-
dent for advancement.
Mayer, in a presentation to
the board, summarized the
way the health message has
evolved in the Adventist
church, from evangelism to
sanitariums, and now to aca-
demics.
"Everything about the well-
ness center is important!" said
Phil Garver, dean of the School
of Physical Education., Health,
and Wellness.
Mayer also proposed a new
name for the wellness center,
calling it the Epicentre for
Living Well.
"The words "epicentre for
livmg weir is less [cliche] than
'wellness center,'" Mayer said.
"People will be more prone tr ^
check it out. Wellness centeis |
have become like fitness cen-
ters, where only well or fit pw |
pie go there."
The name Epicentre

on by a committee. , .

One of Southern's best kept
secrets is the Smoky Mountain
Flora class, which offers a win-
dow into the forest floor.
Dave Ekkens, professor in
the Biology department, teach-
es the class twice a year, every
two years— once in mid-April,
and again after May gradua-
tion. The class camps for 8
nights in a private camp-
ground, Green Briar Island,
just outside Gatlinburg. The
curriculum includes hiking
trails and examining flower
and plant specimens. After
returning from the camp-
ground, Dr. Ekkens lectures
and conducts dissections of the
flowers in the laboratory. At
the end of the class, a portfolio
of 50 specimens and a detailed
report covering one particular
species of plant is turned in by
students.
"You are exposed to a lot of
flowers that you may never
have noticed before," said
Katrina Broussard, senior biol-
ogy major.- "Dr. Ekkens makes
learning them ftin. Tlie class
is very helpful to those who
wish to accelerate their curricu-
lum during the summers."
The class views the flowers
with nothing more than a small
magnifying glass, and identifies
them on the trail with the aid of
either the text book. Guide to
the Vascular Plants of the Blue
Ridge, or a flora guide.
"You become very aware of
how many flowers there are out
there," said Bruce Gorospe,
junior clinical laboratory sci-
ence major. "I really enjoyed
the camping and hiking. One
day we hiked for 13 miles - not
too long; it's a very hands-on
class. The whole time I was on
the camp-out, I wished that
Southern would offer a class
that taught which flo^vers and
plants are edible. The
Solomon's seal bears round
fruits that taste like peas.
Some flowers' petals are used
in salads."
The prerequisite for the
class is general biology, so the
student is familiar with the ter-
minology of the plant world.
"We have a very fast class,
only about three weeks total
time." Ekkens said. "We see the
flowers, collect some speci-
mens outside the National
Park, and return to campus for
lectures. The learning really
occurs in the field."

Five U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq
BAGHDAD. Iraq (AP) ^
A suicide attack and roadside bombings killed six
American soldiers, the U.S. command said Wednesday,
as U.S. and Iraqi troops staged raids in Ramadi and
Baqouba, stepping up pressure on Sunni insurgents
before this week's start of the Islamic holy month of
Ramadan. A suicide driver plowed into a U.S. convoy
and blew up his car Wednesday in the northern city of
Mosul, killing two American soldiers and wounding five,
according to the military. It was the second deadly sui-
cide attack against American convoys in Mosul in the
past three days.
United Nations to help Iraqi elections
JUVENILE DEATH PENALTY WEIGHED
\VASHINGTON{AP)
A deeply divided Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday
over allowing states to execute teenage killers, with sev-
eral justices raising concerns that the United States is
out of step with the rest of the world. Nineteen states
allow capital punishment for juveniles, and more than
70 people who committed crimes as 16- and 17-year-olds
are on death row.
WASHINGTON (AP)
Will Iraq be able to match
Afghanistan's electoral feat?
As it did in Afghanistan, the
L luted Nations is supposed to
play a key role in helping
uiji^mize the Iraqi elections.
And the Iraqis, devoid of any
electoral experience, need all
the help they can get. Absent a
siiinificant in-country pres-
ence, U.N. experts assembled
outside the country are training
Iraqis in voter registration and
in carrying out election day
duties at polling stations.
But a large in-country U.N.
deployment in Iraq is not in the
cards. Indeed, unions repre-
senting the U-N.'s 60,000
employees believe the small
group now there now should be
withdrawn because of the
"unprecedented" dangers.
The election will be to
choose a 275-member legisla-
ture, whose main task will be to
draft a permanent constitution.
If the voters ratify the docu-
ment, it will provide the legal
basis for a second general elec-
tion by the end of next year.
Carina Perelli, the lead U.N.
election specialist, believes that
275 U.N. staff would be needed
to help prepare for a proper
election, according to a U.N.
Security Council diplomat.
One option for the Iraqis
would be to put off the election
until well into 2005. For now,
President Bush and Prime
Minister Ayad Allawi oppose
any delay. Perelli is said to
favor a postponement.
The administration is mak-
ing its case for Iraq in other
forums. Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld was
appealing for more NATO sup-
port Wednesday at a meeting of
alhance defense ministers in
Romania.
Secretary of State Colin
Powell is somewhat less cate-
gorical than he was earlier this
month about Iraq's ability to
hold elections on schedule.
"I believe that general elec-
tions will take place at the end
of January of 2005 but I don't
underestimate this insur-
gency," Powell said Tuesday.

SM report from
Zaoksky,Russia
Check out the new self-
titled CD by Barlow Girl
Matthew White
A few vpars back, the band
SniMfrlM-Ik] hud a run in
v,,tl, il,. K'f'iip Barlow Girl.
.■;„|H.nl„r|k| was so
iiDjiji' ill by thoir stand for
|)iiiity that they wrote a song
called "Barlow Girls" on their
first album. This introduction
Rave Barlow^irt a name in
the music industry, long
before they even released
their debut album.
Barlow Girl is composed of
three sisters that know how to
rock; they can do it all. For
starters, they're completely
covered with clothes, which is
nice to see. They write and
produce nil their songs as
well, which is becoming n rar-
ity these days, it seems. Tiie
phenomenal song "Never
Alone" is a huge hit and
sounds much like
Uvanescence. The CD is worth
buying for that song alone!
The rest of their songs have an
Avril Lavigne sound, with a
hint of Evanescence. A wide
variety of talent is displayed
on their ii tracks. Each song
has something new to offer,
and is interlaced with their
crystal-clear voices. The qual-
ity of their voices is superb
and invigorating to hear.
When it comes to the spiri-
tual aspect of these girls, they
certainly have depth. Many of
us can identify vrith the hon-
esty in their lyrics: "...I cried
out with no reply and 1 can't
feel you by my side, so I'll
hold tight to what 1 know,
you're here and I'm never
alone..." It's certainly good to
see a girl band that can rock
with style, yet keep the focus
on God and morals.
Summary: Their debut
album is certain to leave you
wanting more.
From the moment I
stepped off the plane, it was
obvious I was in a different
world. Signs posted around
the airport were written in
unfamiliar characters. People
all around me spoke in a lan-
guage I didn't understand. A
few times, people tried to ask
me a question, to which I
invariably responded by shak-
ing my head and saying,
"nyet."
The nine-hour flight from
New York to Moscow was only
the beginning of my nine-
month commitment as a stu-
dent missionary. Today, as I
write from my dorm room at
Zaoksky Adventist University,
I have been in Russia for less
than two weeks, but Southern
already seems worlds away.
This year is going to be an
adventure for me, and I'd like
to share pieces of the adven-
ture with you.
Would you like to know
what Russians think of
peanut butter, or how two
people who don't speak each
other's language can be good
friends, or what Seventh-day
Adventists in Russia are like?
This column will be the place
to And out.
First of all, let me tell you
the story of how I ended up in
Zaoksky.
I wanted to be a student
missionary, but I didn't want
to be a teacher because I hate
being up front. I applied for a
position as a public relations
assistant and waited...and
waited., and waited....
Months later, I went into
the chaplain's office to tellJoy
Brown, the student missions
coordinator, that I was ready
to give up on ever hearing
back from the place I had
applied to go.
Before I had the chance to
get that far, Joy asked if I
would consider working in an
orphanage in Russia. \ I had
to pray about it, but it only
took me one day to decide: I
wanted to go to Russia.
To condense my story, let
me just say that I chose to
come to Russia because I
wanted to work with children
all day long without having to
get in front of them and teach.
God's plans are not always
what we expect, though. Right
now I'm teaching two college-
level English classes (and lov-
ing it). I haven't yet stepped
foot in an orphanage, though
I still hope to eventually start
volunteering at one of the ten
orphanages in the area.
I almost feel like I was
tricked into coming here
under false pretenses, but I'm
glad it worked out this way. I
know that I am where God
wants me to be and I'm excit-
ed to see where else He leads
me this year. It probably
won't be where I expect.
Ask Big Debbie: Long-distance love
Big DtHRIf Idhk rii';hini>n Hiii.. .-„o..U: >l ... i .■
Dear Big Debbie,
I've been in n long distance
relationship for about half a
year now. She's an incredible
girl, definitely worth waiting
for. When we're together it's
great, hut the distance thing is
killing me. And I'm really
k tempted to cheat. Especially
W lately. What should I do?
-Getting Distracted
Dear Getting Distracted,
If I had a dime for ever>'
time this problem surfaced its
ugly head, I'd be a rich indi-
vidual. To add to that, I think
I'd be safe in saying that
everyone has had at least one
long distance fling, resulting
in a flurry of e-mails- not to
mention the lengthy, heated
phone conversations... I
digress. The point is that
you're not alone. Here's a few
ways to look at it:
Forty years and older point
of view: "Long distance is
great-it's keeping you from
being out late on week nights.
What you're feeling is very
natural, after all, the devil is
prowling around like a roaring
lion. It's good to practice
faithfulness while you're
young: chances are the trait
wdl come in handy in the
Disappointing chauvinistic
guy answer: "You will never
be in another place where
there are ladies your age at
every turn. Is it cheating if
you're in another area code?"
Typical girl answer: "Long
distance is a true test of love.
If you two truly care for each
other, you will be able to ivith-
stand the bonds of time and
temptation."
As you can see, there are a
plethora of ways to approach
this issue. If she is worth it,
weigh the pros and cons.
What are you willing to sacri-
fice for this dame? If she is
honestly "worth waiting for"
you may have answered your
o>vn question. However I'd
like you to think about' the
future for a moment. At what
pomt does she and both of
your futures intersect? This
be a trickier thing to
dinate than you might think.
I know of people who have
done the long distance thing
and have had success, but
these stories are very few and
far between (of course, you
and your significant other are
special). About the cheating
thing- it's not worth the guilt
if you can't keep your nose
clean. Be honest with yourself
and her. In fact, that is what
the whole thing is about.
Treat her as if she has never
left your side. It may mean
laying down the break-up
bomb.

Dear Editors:
You ran a relatively innocu-
ous little story in the Oct. 7
issue about diversity in the
U.S. Senate, which you appar-
ently passed on uncritically
from the Associated Press. It
wasn't factually incorrect, but
it did contain some implica-
tions that I find troubling.
The story seems to cast the
fact that the Senate is "domi-
nated overwhelmingly by
white males" as an evil that, if
we would all just agree to do
the right thing, could and
should be overcome. "It's the
most exclusive men's club in
the world, and that power is
given up very reluctantly,"
said the only source quoted in
the story. Sounds like an over-
arching and tyrannical con-
spiracy to me!
Completely overlooked is
how all those "white males"
got to the Senate. They won
free and fair elections. You
and [ sent them there.
In separate elections in 50
states, each of the 100 U.S.
senators survives a very rigor-
ous primary or convention
contest, followed by (in most
states) a competitive general
election in which citizens of
every race and both sexes are
perfectly free to vote for the
candidate of their choice. No
one has ever intimidated or
coerced my vote. You could
probably say the same.
The story was also unduly
pessimistic about the
prospects of women in the
Nov. 2 election. "The current
composition of the Senate
includes a record 14 women, a
number unlikely to get big-
ger." Actually, there is a rea-
sonable chance that number
will rise to 15 or 16, depending
on some very close elections
in Alaska, Florida, and South
Carolina.
The inference of the story is
to suggest that if you and I
were as right-thinking and
patriotic as we should be,
then whenever confronted
with the opportunity, we
would vote for a female candi-
date, or a candidate from a
racial minority, just to even
things out and make sure
minority viewpoints are rep-
resented.
I am far more concerned
with the qualifications, per-
sonal integrity, and my agree-
ment with a candidate's posi-
tion on different issues. I have
voted for blacks and Latinos
and I even worked in the cam-
paign of a female candidate
for the U.S. Senate (Colorado,
1986). But I have never sup-
ported those candidates
BECAUSE they were female
or black or whatever.
I absolutely believe in the
protection of and sensitivity
to minority rights. But as I'm
casting my vote on any given
election day, if I find that the
better candidate in a certain
race is the middle-aged white
guy who looks a lot like me,
I'm afraid I don't think of
myself as "backward" or
"unenlightened" if I vote for
him.
Political correctness has its
hmits.
Sincerely,
Ray Minner
Editors' Note: Although
Minner is entitled to his
opinion, the editors would
like to note that he has
fedled to critique the system
that elects mostly white
males to positions of power.

Caught in the quagmire
Brian Lauritzen
If you've seen any weapons of
mass destruction lying around, I
think President Bush is looking
for them. News flash: they don't
exist. That is, if you believe the
1,700 members of the Iraq
Survey Group that went to more
than 1,200 potential WMD sites
in Iraq.
The ISG's job was to investi-
gate what WMD programs
Saddam Hussein had in place in
Iraq and what potential he had
for further production. What
they found was that Hussein's
WMD capabilities were
destroyed in 1991 and haven't
returned.
We Democrats should be saU-
vating with glee at this potential
deathblow to the Bush re-elec-
tion campaign, right? Certainly
I'd Uke to celebrate this as a win
for the Kerry campaign, but the
fact is as of press time
(10/8/04), 1,208 coalition forces
have been killed in Iraq-1,069
of them were Americans.
These troops were sent to
Iraq to rid Saddam Hussein of
weapons of mass destruction
that never existed. They were
sent to Iraq to destroy a Imk with
al Qaeda that never existed.
They were sent to Iraq to eradi-
cate Saddam Hussein's nuclear
weapons programs that never

John Kerry disagrees. He will

have our troops home within
four years).

shouldn't tell our troops that tills

deahng witii a global nuclear
tiireat, or chasing after tiiose
elusive weapons of mass
Just last week President
Bush and Vice President
Cheney formally declared
that Iraq had no weapons of
mass destruction. After all
the months of searching and
scouring the Iraqi homeland,
none of the reported biologi-
cal and nuclear weapons
turned up. Of course, the
press went into a feeding
frenzy. At this announce-
ment, the whole world fig-
ured that it had the right to
jump on George Bush's back.
And they should, right? One
of the main reasons this con-
flict started was because we
believed Saddam had these
types of weapons. People are
now saying that because
Saddam obviously didn't have
those weapons, we should
never have gone to war in the
first place. And you know
what? They're absolutely
right. In fact, I'm willing to
go one step further.
We should never have gone
to war with Germany in
Worid War II. Hitier never
directly attacked us; it was
only the Japanese that gave
us any real trouble. So why
didn't we just take care of the
Japanese after Pearl Harbor
and call and end to our part of
the war? I think that's what
we should have done.
Germany wasn't really con-
nected to Japan - we should
have just cleaned up and left.
What? You think that's a
ludicrous suggestion? Well so
do I. The suggestions and
criticisms of this administra-
tion that say we should have
gotten Osama and stopped
our fight with terror are idiot-
ic and irrational. Everyone
knows that Germany and
Japan both had the same goal
of world domination. Wliy?
Because twisted and danger-
ous minds think alike. Hitier,
Mussolini, and the Japanese
bigwigs all thought the same
way, and thus, were connect-
ed in their goals. So doesn't it
make sense that when you
consider the crime of terror,
big people in that circle might
think the same? Osama bin
Laden, Saddam Hussein,
Kim-jong II - all of these lead-
ers have the same goal and
method for getting there.
Weapons of mass destruc-
tion? I think we found one. It
was bearded and crouched in
a littie shoveled-out cave in
Iraq. The weapon of mass
destruction is safely in captiv-
ity. Anything else was just an
accessoiy.

Team Cocoa Butter won

against Team Fourth and Long
with a final score of 32-13-
Fourth and Long took the
lead early in the game \vitli a
touchdown. On the next play,
the ball was intercepted. Then
on the play after that, Peter
Reinhardt ran the ball in to
score for Cocoa Butter. From
there on team Cocoa Butter
went on to score four more
times, including two touch-
downs by receiver Dante
' Strong in the first half, to put
I Cocoa Butter in the lead.
3 Cocoa Butter remained
■ strong and scored two more
1 times in the second half. Foiuth

Team Clarke was also a force
on the defensive side. Jocelyn
Jones and Kelly Mittan each
had an interception. The second
pick ended a strong drive by the
Patriots. Late in tlie game, Lori
Biaisdell connected with Carrie
Carman, who went into tlie end
zone uncontested to cut Team
Clarke's lead to 19-6. However,
it was too little too late for the

Family Guys lose to
Service Department
Daryl Sanford
The Service Department team
won Tuesdav night s flag football
game 33 13 Despite a valiant
effort b> the Famil\ Guvs ivhich
mcluded an intercepdon by K.enn\
Matthews the Service Department
team still managed to score three
touchdowns )n the first half and
tlien a fourth soon after that The
I, ime uent ';moothl\ despite the
titt that there were numerous
penalties called in the first half, the
[najority of which were on
whichever team was playing
defense. The two major ones were
for tackling and holding. Holding
means grabbing the runner by the
arm or the clothes and hanging on
while to ti>' to grab one of the flags
off of his belt to end the play.
Tackling of course means knock-
ing the runner down which is ille-
gal in flag football.
The game started and yai p.m.
and lasted for just over an hour,
including a short half time. At the
beginning of the game it was
uncertain who would win. The
teams, seemed evenly, matched.
One of the receivers for the Family
Guys returned the initial kickoff
well. But after that the Family
Guys just seemed to lose tlieir
momentum. The Service
Department prompdy intercepted
die ball and went on to score.

tion to ti.e next, and is to be sculpted by
Wayne Hazen, dean of the School of
Visual Art and Design.
Rock of Ages, the Vermont based
quarry, reported that die stone was the
S^toLrbeshipped out of die state
b7tiain. Another feat was die transport-
ing of the granite from its rail-car box to
its temporary resting spot across from
Campus Safety. Two cranes, a heavy duty
iractor-ti-ailer, and nine workmen spent
about 10 hours on Friday lifting tiie gran-
ite from the rail car, transporting it, and
then positioning it into place.
The move shut Industrial Drive down
for several hours and caused some back
ups at tile four-way stop by die duck
"Elijah hterally stopped b-affic," said
Debbie Nessen, senior Chemistry major.
"But we were moving again in about five
minutes so it wasn't reaUy a huge incon-
vienence at all."
The granite's overall arrival went
smootiily and attracted a crowd of
onlookers.
"It really turned out to be a sort of
social event," said Melita Pujic, senior
advertising major.
Hazen hopes the project will continue
to attract onlookers.
"I think that people recognize the sig-
nificance of tile project and I hope that
when they stop to look they can focus on
the emotional and spiritual side of the dis-
play as well," he said
The sculptures represent Southern's
mission of passing knowledge from the
older to younger generations.
"We hope that the display will be a con-
stant reminder of Southern's mission to
all who sec it," said Ben Wygal, chair of
the pubhc art committee.
Work on tile project began in 2001
with the sculpting of a 40-ton EUsha and
Hazen predicts both statues will be com-
plete by 2007 or sooner.

The group quickly became
more than a singing group. It
was like a fraternity who's pur-

became the most papular cho-
rus at Southern.

Marylanders hunt bears
OAXLAND, Md. (AP)
Maryland's first bear hunt
in 51 years started, and sur-
prisingly ended, in a day.
As of 8 p.m. Monday, 20
dead bears had been regis-
tered at Department of
Natural Resources checking
stations, according to the
DNR kill tally hot line.
Officials then called a halt to
any more killing.
Calling the one-day harvest
rate "overwhelming," and
expressing concern that
allowing the bear hunt to con-
tinue a second day would
exceed the 30-bear limit, the
DNR refused to allow the hunt
to continue.
The deadline for register-
ing Monday's kills is Tuesday
afternoon.
"While we regret any
inconvenience, our first
responsibility is to manage
Maryland's natural resources,
and we were concerned that
opening the hunt a second day
would put us over our conser-
vative harvest target of 30
bears, and potentially jeop-
ardize future hunts and black

ties," said Paul A, Pedittm

Bush and Kerry race for votes before election
V, IOWA
In tlie mail, on the phoire,
nnd in courtrooms across tlie
nation, activists, lawyers and
partisans of all lands intensi-
fied their efforts to shape the
outcome of next Tuesday's
election.
With their agendas laid out.
Bush and Kerry tried to create
an aura of excitement, hoping
to snag the dwindling pool of
voters who haven't taken sides.
Kerrj' said Wednesday
"After four years in office, this
president has failed middle-
class families with almost every
choice he's made. He's given
moretotliosewththemostat
the expense of middle-class
"orking families who are struR-
eling to get ahead."
"Now he's asking you to give
him four more years so that he
can keep up the bad work,"
Kerry told a rally in Sioux aty.
The Democratic challenger
said the president's response to
revelations that 350 tons of
e.xplosives disappeared in Iraq
was to "dodge and bob and
weave." He said Vice President
Dick Cheney, who has defend-
ed the administration's actions,
IS fast becoming the chief min-
ister of disinformation" while
the president remains sUent on
the matter.
Cheney, campaigning in
Florida, caUed Kerry an "arm-
chair general." "If our troops
had not gone into Iraq as John
k-em apparently thinks thev
should not have, that is
400,000 tons of weapons and
explosives that would be in the
hands of Saddam Hussein, who
would still be sitting in his
palace mstead of jail," he said.
"These four years have
brought moments I could not
foresee and will not forget,"
Bush says. "I've learned first-
hand that ordering Americans
into batae is the hardest deci-
sion, even when it is right." The
commercial %vill be seen by a
limited audience, given that it

A plane owned by the Hendrick Motorsports organization
crashed Sunday on its way to a NASCAR race, killing all 10
people aboard, including the son, brother and two nieces of
the otvner of one of auto racing's most successful teams.
The Beech 200 took off from Concord, N.C., and crashed in
the Bull Mountain area about seven miles west of

p.m., said Arlene Murray, spokeswoman for the Federal
Aviation Administration.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon won a historic victoryTuesday
when parliament voted to approve his plan to mthdraw
from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank the first
time lawmakers have authorized the removal of Jewish set-
tlements from lands the Palestinians claim for a state. The
67-45 vote, with seven abstentions, gave strong backing to
Sharon's plan to evacuate 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip,
where 8,200 Jewish settlers live amid 1.3 million
Palestinians, and four in the West Bank.
Pilot error blamed for crash
WASHINGTON (AP)
American Airlines Flight 587 lost its tail and plummeted
into a New York City neighborhood in November 2001,
killing 265 people, because the co-pilot improperly used
the rudder to try to steady the plane, federal safety investi-
gators ruled Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety
Board also said a poorly designed rudder system on the
Airbus A300-600 and inadequate pilot training by
American were contributing factors.
Japanese hostage to be beheaded
A militant Islamic Web site on Tuesday showed a video it
claimed was a Japanese captive kidnapped by Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi's group and threatened to behead him within
48 hours unless Japan pulls its troops from Iraq. The man,
who had long hair and wore a white T-shirt, was identified
only as someone connected to the Japanese armed forces.
He spoke briefly in English and Japanese, addressing him-
self to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

Iraq's interim prime minister blamed the U.S. -led coalition
Tuesday for "great negligence" in the ambush that killed
about 50 soldiers heading home after graduation from a
U.S. -run training course, and warned of an escalation of
terrorist attacks. Underscoring the warning, insurgents
made a new threat of nationwide attacks against U.S. and
Iraqi forces "with weapons and military tactics they have
not experienced before" if American forces try to storm the
militant stronghold of Fallujah.

BAGHDAD, IiMf? (AP) _ _ _ _ _ __
Nearly 800 British forces left their base in southern Iraq
on Wednesday, heading north toward Baghdad to replace
U.S. troops who are expected to take part in an offensive
against insurgent strongholds. The deployment came hours
after Iraq's most feared militant group released a video
threatening to behead a Japanese captive within 48 hours
unless Japan withdraws its troops from Iraq. Japan's
prime minister, a staunch U.S. ally in Iraq, took a tough
stance and rejected any troop withdrawal.

oA summer interning at the Peacock
Sharon Rho
As I drove dovm the Los
Angeles highways every morn-
ing, lanky and reluctant palm
trees were silhouetted by dreary
city fog. My eyes darted across
the sky, in search of that beauti-
ful Pacific sunrise Hove.
A brand new summer day at
NBC Studios awaited me, full of
mystery. I never knew what to
expect— interning with the
Entertainment Publicity
department always held sur-
prises; it served as an exquisite
teacher for the lessons I
learned. I realized that the
political world of entertainment
television, mass communica-
tion, and media publicity exists
in political a realm of its own.
The technicalities are tedious
and complex— somehow they
reflect our society and the
vicious cycle in which we live.
I enjoyed being a part of
NBC's workday, and developed
genuine friendships In the
hilarious environment. 1
learned about the procedures
and media techniques of net-
work television during meet-
ings with press managers, pho-
tographers, and vice presidents.
I witnessed how NBC could
completely control its publicity
through media-tramed
answers and savvy techniques.
The press devoured this oppor-
tunity to gain iBsight of upcom-
ing shows, touchy subjects, and
pointed questions for talent,
executive producers and NBC
presidents. At the after party,
the once-assumed glitz and
glam of sultry Hollywood
celebrities proved to be false as
I observed them to be rather
ordinary as we escorted them to
red carpet.
While witnessing a live Fear
Factor stunt shoot, I loved jok-
ing with the show's witty host
and sitting in the trailer with
the production crew and direc-
tors. Visiting the Las Vegas
show set was another delightful,
out-of-office excursion. When
the executive producers
inquired of my university, I was
surprised that they were famil-
iar with the SDA religion. They
good-naturedly kidded that I
shouldn't watch Las Vegas.
There were many highlights
fi-om NBC. Jay Leno tickets
were easUy available, a show at
which my friends and I soaked
in Olympian Michael Phelps'
rugged, boyish smile, Sarah
McLachlan's mellow perform-
ance and Mark Wahlberg's bad-
boy charisma.
I not only gained academic
and career knowledge, but also
a serene sense of personal
growth. The exposure to the
professional working world
changed my perspectives. The
mental comfort bubble m which
I used to naively float no longer
exists.
For my final year of college, I
have returned a different stu-
dent— pondering and contem-
plating further plans every day
At times I feel scared, other
times I feel the world is at my
hands. I recently discovered an
incredible quote— "Life is not
about finding yourself, it's
about creating yourself." The
world anticipates that creation.

this same problem and you
could have avoided some aggra-
vation just by being upfront and
honest.
At this point, it is totally
appropriate to sit down and talk
TOthher. Do not yell. (Not that
you would, considering your
non-confrontational personali-
ty.) II you are unreasonable,
you'll wind up looking bad, it
will increase hostility, and she'll
probably keep doing everything
out of spite.
On the otlier hand, don't let
her walk all over you either. Be
strong like u-on when you tell
her what bothers you. Don't for-
get to have a list of specific
events tliat bug you so you aren't
throwing out generalizations
right and left.
Compromise. Don't be afraid
to pry out tire plank in your own
eye. This will probably make
her more willing to change some
other nasty habits.
In closing, complaining, nag-
ging, and harassing will do noth-
ing. ImprovenienLs wUI be made
by being understanding, consid-
erate, and compromising. Open
the Imes of communication,
bare your hearts and souls to
one anodier.

Recently, the number of
worship albums released by
various artists have been phe-
nomenal. Despite the number
of worship albums out there,
people still seem to crave more
worship-filled songs. If you are
like any of those "worship
crazy" people who are looking
for an album totally focused on
God and are sold-out on
encouraging a closer walk with
Him, then Jeremy Camp's
recent worship album is for

wrft Snoop Dogg.Chingy and...
just kiddmg! Actually, 4e more
accurate comparison wotild be
a dash of (former) Creed, a soft-
er form of Staind, Kutless, and
Downhere. Now for those of
you who like the "softer" style
of music, don't get scared away
just yet. While his initial
singing and instrumental styles
may be more similar to these
bands, the diversity is out-
standing. Plenty of "harder'
music for most, while staying
melodramatic and toned down
enough for anyone to enjoy.
Strong vocals accompany his
passion for God. You will find
evidence of his walk with God
through the entire album, dis-
played in his lyrics. Constant
meditation upon God's good-
ness is definitely a highlight of
Camp's style. His desire to fol-
low God's wUl and constantly
be changed into the ffieness of
Christ can easily be seen in the
song "Empty Me," "I want more
of you and less of me, empty
me, empty me." In fact, some
people found this album so
spiritually moving that thev
called it 'life changing."
My synopsis (Isn't that a
great word?!): The music is
diverse enough for 99.9999% of
the musical population to
enjoy. The vocals are strong
and enjoyable to listen to. And
the spiritual atmosphere of the
CD is absolutely superb - the
best I've reviewed vet! So go
buy this CD.

pJoREW Bermudez
J Many of you have been fol-
Bwing the baseball playoffs
Utely, which have culminated
■ 1 the World Series.
I Whether or not you're a big
can no doubt under-
~^and a baseball fan's most
incredible fantasy — the unbe-
lievable opportunity to step
^to their favorite team's club-
^use for that game, and be
iingle at-bat in the all-
iiportant contest. Even if it
the midst a hopeless
powout, or if your play, good
bad, would be rendered
Tieaningless by the play of oth-
ers, it wouldn't matter.
The 2004 campaigns are
also about to culminate in the
Jlections of Nov. 2. You may or
may not be a big fan of either
candidate, but you have an
opportunity not unlike this
sports fantasy. And unlike
sports, this really matters!
Some believe that there is
no need for them to vote, rea-
soning that their vote won't
decide the election. That is
indeed true - but the fact is,
there are millions around the
world who can only dream of
such an opportunity.
Much like a World Series
pinch-hit appearance, a chance
to vote in our nation's demo-
cratic elections is definitely
worthwhile, even if your vote
may be rendered meaningless
by the votes of others. The elec-
tion of 2000 brought that fact
into clear focus, when both
Florida and New Mc-dco were
decided by a mere handful of
votes. As an American, you can
help choose the best leaders for
our nation. Your vote can make
a difference. Will you step up
to the plate?
Elections are becoming heat-
ed and the controversial topics
are up for grabs. I, as an opinion
columnist, feel obligated to wr\te
a fiery, persuasive article that
will drag you kicking and
screaming to see my point of
view. I'm supposed to draw a line
in the sand and dare you to cross
it. I must convince you that the
world is black and white, and my
view is always right. But is it? I've
been wondering lately if it's wise
to stubbornly cling to opinions
without acknowledging other
points of view.
This is a country of free
speech. TV shows broadcast
debates, newspapers run politi-
cal cartoons, and even comedy
shows mock every aspect of our
government. We are obviously a
people who desire to form opin-
And why not? The ability to
think for ourselves is the highest
freedom we can obtain. We can
endure torture, imprisonment,
and slavery, but if we can't form
opinions, it's as if we are slaves.
The problem comes not when we
form our opinions, but when we
refuse to re-form them. We pick
our side and congregate with
those people \vho agree with us.
Then we shout at the idiots on
the other side, knowing that
they're wrong. But are we really
right?
I don't think so. I don't see a
right and wrong. These issues are
as complex and unique as every
person involved. They are like
diamonds, with many facets of
ideas and possibilities, pros and
Opinions are excellent and
admirable. If the founders of
America hadn't had the courage
to stand up for their beliefs, this
country wouldn't be here today.
If America hadn't had the
strength to stand up. Hitler
would have continued his atroci-
ties. But we must be careful of
the mentality that even,' issue is
either right or wrong. If we stub-
bornly box ourselves into one
way of thinking, we completely
miss the good that can come
from change. Humans are meant
to grow and change throughout
their lives. If we insist on closing
our minds, we choke that grovrth.
The world is not black and
white. It's not even gray. No, it's
fiill of rich and vibrant colors. As
the elections draw near, let's
refuse to focus on the "wrong" in
each other's opinions. All our
opinions combined make this
world the colorful place that it is,
and we can only see that when we
open our minds to the beauty of
it.
Head to head: left vs. right
President Bush, you're fired
Brian Lauritzen
Rt-jected Kerry campaign slogans: "He's one
not George W. Bush." "Pick the lesser of war
two evils." "When you're caught between
Iraq and a hard place."
Okay, really, why should someone vote
for .John Kerry? An "anybody but Bush"
mentalitv' swept through the nation state-
by-state during the Democratic primary
season and John Kerry emerged as the
alternative to George Bush. One of his jobs
as challenger is to make the case that the
icumbent hasn't done his job and doesn't
sen'e to be re-elected. But his second
id more important job is to show voters
by he would be a better choice.

he answers to those ques-
ons. should we re-elect President Bush?
So what would John Kerry do different-

■ ^ °oes consider strong alliances to be
one of the key components of a successful
war on terrorism. John Kerry knows the
difference between being a leader and
being a bully.
Third, John Kerry \nQ provide econom-
ic stimuli that will create jobs and put more
money in the hands of the lower and mid-
dle-class. He m\\ provide tax cuts for lower
and middle-income Americans and will
work to raise the minimum wage to $7.00
an hour. More people \vill be working and
fewer people will be below the poverty line
witli John Kerry as President.
1 can go on. We can talk about any of a
number of issues where John Kerry's poli-
cies will put us back on the right track:
1.) John Kerry won't gamble with your
future by dumping Social Securit>' money
into the stock market. He won't raise Social
Securitj' taxes, nor will he raise the rerire-
ment age.
2.) John Kerry will work to provide
health care to eveo' American-not just
those who can afford it.
3,) John Kerry will lessen onr depend-
ence on Mideast oil and will invest in alter-
native energy resources,
4.) John Kerry is committed to a clean-
er environment and \vill establish touglier
standards for clean air and water.
5.) John Kerry knows that one of the
keys to our future rests in higher education.
He will create the College Opportunity Tax
Credit for up to $4,000 of mition annually.
From the future of Social Securit>' to tlie
environment to health care, the policy deci-
sions that are made today will affect us
whether we vote or not. Help ensure that
America will once again be strong at home
and respected in the world. Vote for John
F. Kerry on November 2.
What I see
Timothy Morse
Well, it has all come down to tliis, In
just a few days, the country will be mak-
ing a tremendously important decision.
The citizens of the United States of
America will be deciding who is best fit
to lead our great nation throughout the
next four years. So, this week, I'm not
going to tell you why you should not
vote against a certain person, but why I
believe George W. Bush is the best man
to head our government.
In George Bush, I see a compassion-
ate and caring man who wants to make
sure Americans everywhere are taken
care of and safe. In the wake of the Sept,
11 attacks, many families were left dev-
astated by the loss of loved ones. Some
of that impact can soon be forgotten,
but not by our president. While cam-
paigning in Ohio just a few months ago,
Bush met 13-year-old Ashley Faulkner,
a young girl who lost her mother in the
WTC attacks. And then, in the midst of
a throng of supporters, tlie most power-
ful man in our government stopped to
give Ashley a hug. Nothing fancy, no
promises of making the worid safer,
just a demonstration of the compassion
and love that our president has for the
people that inhabit this great nation.
Unffjrtunately, I cannot do this story
justice; \isit www.aslileysstory.com to
see the real-world heart and soul of
George W. Bush.
In George Bush, I see a man who is
unafraid of the future. I see a man who
is full of strong convictions and resolute
principles. There had been terrorist
attacks prior to SepLiL The USS Cole
comes to my mind - an example of ter-
rorist aggression agamst ihe'American
nation. But those attacks never seemed
to warrant any action. This president
found the courage to do something
about it. His decisions may not have
been popular, but he believed it was the
right thing to do and he did it. And
when has doing the right thing ever
been popular? A man with convictions
and the moral fortitude to follow
llu-ough with them, regardless of the
"current trends" is a man who I can
support.
In George Bush, 1 see a man who
doesn't claim to be perfect. I see a man
who doesn't claim to be the best politi-
cian around. But I see a man who does
not fold or resort to passing the buck
when he is under pressure. During his
presidency, he has withstood numerous
outrageous attacks on his character and
performance without once striking
back. During his time in office, he has
been ridiculed and derided for making
certain decisions. But he has never
resorted to the lows of his accusers - not
once abusing his power to make life a
little easier for himself.
In George Bush, I see a man who is
the embodiment of the American Spirit.
He has a soul that believes in the value
of hard work and education. He is a
man that believes everyone should have
the opportunity to be free. He is fierce-
ly determined, yet greatly compassion-
ate. He is powerful, yet e-vtremely hum-
ble. He is a man constantly searching
for ways to enrich our lives.
In George Bush, I see the leader of
the free worid. And that's why on Nov.
2, 1 encourage you to join me in voting
for our President, George W. Bush. .

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1926
Volume 60, Issue 8
JACKI SOUZA
College tuition is increasing all over
he United States, and -Southern is no
reception to the trend.
The Board of Trustees has approved a
1.5 percent tuition increase for next
'ear. That means undergraduate stu-
ients will pay about $585 more than
his year's base tuition charges of
112,990. Adding dorm rent, books, and
afeteria charges to the bill brings the
^and total even higher.
The primary reason for raising tuition
a 3.2 percent increase in salaries for
■feculty and staff, said university
•■resident Gordon Bietz. Another con-
tributing factor is medical expenses; as
Jthey rise nationwide, Southern is
'^impacted as weD.
"It goes up every year," said Heidar
Thordarson, a junior accounting and
management major. "It's expected."
Thordarson said he understands that
inflation causes operating expenses of
busmcsses to go up. For a college, the
most realistic way to deal with higher
expenses is to raise tuition.
According to The College Board's Oct.
19 report "Trends in College Pricing
|004", tuition and fees at private four-
Tear institutions rose an average 6 per-
fent this year, for an average of
120,082. That's over a thousand dollars
pore than last year. The national aver-
fge for total charges, which includes
*oom and board, rose to $27,516. While
Southern's price tag isn't nearly that
high, some students are concerned by
the rising costs.
I can't afford to pay it already and
™y're gomg to expect me to pay more,"
Mid Daha MelUsh, freshman rehgious
fducation major. "I'm just going to go
mto debt more."
Mellish said while she wants to stay at
Southern, both Walla Walla CoUege and

CoUegedale gets out to vote
Bush wins Tennessee and gets most popular vote in U.S. history
Don Cantrell
Standing in line for up to two hours,
CoUegedale residents joined the mass of
voters turning out for the presidential
election Tuesday — the most since i960.
"I felt like the way the race was going,
I needed to do my part — my civic duty,"
said Southern Adventist University sen-
ior Nick Gillen, who waited for more
than an hour.
The election process ended with
Democratic candidate John Kerry con-
ceding to Republican George W. Bush
after a vote counting battle that lasted
well into Wednesday morning with two
emotional addresses to the American
people Wednesday afternoon.
As of Wednesday afternoon with 99
percent of votes counted, Bush carried
29 states, including Tennessee, for a
total of 274 electoral votes and a record
58,878,565 popular votes. Senator

At Southern, about 30 students
watched the voting results in Brock Hall
hosted by the School of Joumahsm &
Communication.
"I knew there'd be a bunch of people
there and since I was a communications
major, I was interested in the different
perspectives people had," said Brian
Henning, a senior mass communication
-media production major, who voted
Tuesday.
Despite extensive "get out the vote"
efforts aimed at the younger, college-
aged electorate, the 18-24 demographic
voted at about the same percentage as in

voters went to the polls. And at

Improv club acts out
AH POSTLER
■ A semi-circle, some fruit-
jlflavored gummy bears, and 13
■energetic people signaled that
Ithe Improv meeting was
lundenvay.
The Improv Club, which
imitates the popular television
_show "Whose Line Is It
ay." is four years old and
5 to be "bigger and bet-
this year," according to
director Stanley
owski, senior film
"We want to incorporate
Beting and humor along with a
"l>iritual emphasis; it's not
pst about us getting up on
stage and trying to make peo-
ple laugh. We have a message
too, " said enthusiastic club
member Zach McDonald.
Improv members are hop-
ing to spread their message
beyond the Collegedale area
this year, and are currently
looking for new performance
opportunities.
"We would like to have a
performance every other
week," Pomianowski said.
The club, which meets
every Tuesday and Thursday
for two hours, is also looking
for a permanent rehearsal
location and a speaker to
enhance their spiritual mes-
; outings.
"It was really great when
the Improv group from Walla
Walla visited Southern last
year and it's nice to know that
we have our own Improv club
that can go out and witness
too," said Veronica Roesch,
junior nursing major.
While scheduling and
rehearsal details of the
Improv club are still being
worked out, their message is
clear.
Nick Livanos, junior film
major, said God helps them
stay on track as a group.
"We just want Christ to be
the focus of our lives, so we
can be more effective in His
ministry, "Livanos said.
One Praise, the Black
Christian Union club choir,
recorded the National Anthem
on Fnday as an audition for the
Orlando Magic game on March
2, 2005
The recording will be
reviewed by Lauren Hayworth,
du-ector of basketball opera-
tions for the Magic, and if
selected, the chou- will suig the
National Anthem during the
openmg ceremony of the Magic
vs Kings Game.
"It's a great opportunity for
us to be able to minister to oth-
ers outside of the Collegedale
circle," said choir member
Jermaine Andrades.
Singing at the basketball
game is part of the choir's
Florida tour next year which
runs from Feb. 23 to March 2
and will feature performances
at academies such as Forest
Lake, Greater Miami and Miami
Union. There will also be wor-
ships at both the Southeastern
and Florida Conference offices
in addition to community serv-
ice projects throughout central
and south Florida.
"Our hope is to draw the
choir closer together and
lengthen the arms of Southern,"
said assistant choir director
Adisa Abiose.
President of the Black
Christian Union Kenneth Victor
agrees.
"It feels great when you can
fiilfill the mission of both the
school and the club when it
comes to witnessing to others
outside the Adventist circle."
Witnessing is the choir's
main objective and even if they
are not chosen to sing at the
Orlando Magic game, \rictor is
confident that they will still be
looking forward to the Florida
"Our main objective is that
we change lives."

They probably aren't the
books you would cozy up with in
front of a fireplace, unless of
course you are looking to
increase your business with a lit-
de small talk.
This past August Michael
Cafferl^, business assistant pro-
fessor, published a fourth book,
his third on the power of word of
mouth in marketing.
"We all talk, but some people
get listened to more than others.
I want to know who they
are.. .my books are about those
people," said Cafferky.
What started out as presenta-
tions at hospitals and in doctors
offices about how the power of
word of mouth can help expand
business in the early 1990s, has
grown into three books which
are geared towards health care
professionals and small business
owners. The latest is titled,
"Managing Word Of Mouth For
Leadership Success".
In his second book, which is
not about word of mouth but
instead about managed health
care, won him third place in the
Bronze Awards, a national
health institute information's
award.
The books aren't mainstream
and won't be found in book-
stores, but they can be pur-
chased through the publishers
and range in price from about
$20- $50.
Although most students will
not have read Caiferky's books
they still can appreciate the
teachers work.
"Some teachers just come to
class and that's it, but it's nice to
know that some teachers still
want to learn," said Anca
Alexandru, a senior, business
management major.

than a dozen vaccine companies
plan to meet this montli for an
unprecedented summit to tacWe
the issue.
LSixtecn vaccine companies
and health officials from the
United States and other large
countries already have agreed to

Klaus Slohr, influenza chief of
the United Nations' health
agency, the World Health
Organization.
Scientists fear tliat if tlie bird
flu virus mutates enough to mix
with tlie human influenza virus it
could easily pass between
humans and trigger a global pan-
demic.
"We believe tliut we are closer
to Uic next pandemic tlian we
ever were," Slohr said Sunday in
an interview before a speecli at
an American Society for
Microbiology meeting in
Washington, D.C.
Stohr said several European
countries had been invited to the
meeting, but be declined to
name tliem. Vaccine makers in
Russia and Japan were also
invited.
The world's total capacity for
flu vaccine now is only 300 mil-
lion doses, and it would take at
least six months to develop a new
vaccine to fight a pandemic. The
WHO wants to get "all issues on
the table," monetary and scien-
tific, tliat prevent getting more
vaccine more quickly, he said.
"If we continue as we are now,
there will be no vaccine avail-
able." Stohr said.

WASHINGTON (AP)
President Bush won a sec-
ond term from a divided and
anxious nation. After a long,
tense night of vote counting,
Kerry called Bush Wednesday
to concede Ohio and the pres-
idency.
Kerry ended his quest by
concluding one of the most
expensive and bitterly con-
tested races on record, with a
call to the president shortly
after 11 a.m. EST.
"Congratulations, Mr.
President," Kerry said in the
conversation described by
sources as lasting less than
five minutes.
The Democratic source said
Bush called Kerry a worthy,
tough and honorable oppo-
nent. Kerry told Bush the
country was too divided, the
source said, and Bush agreed.
"We really have to do some-
thing about it," Kerry said.
Kerry placed his call after
weighing unattractive options
overnight. With Bush holding
fast to a six-figure lead in
make-or-break Ohio, Kerry
could give up or trigger a
struggle that would have
stirred memories of the bitter
recount in Florida that pro-
pelled Bush to the White
House in 2000.
Advisers said the campaign
just wanted one last look for
uncounted ballots that might
close the 136,000-vote advan-
tage Bush held in Ohio.
An Associated Press survey
of the state's 88 counties
found there were about

Ohio aside. New Me\ico
and Iowa remained too close
to call. Those two states were
for the record — Ohio alone
had the electoral votes to
swing the election.
Glitches galore cropped up
in overwhelmed polling places
as Americans voted in high
numbers, fired up by unprece-
dented registration drives the
excruciatingly close contest
and the sense that these were
unusually consequential
times.

Deserter discharged dishonorably
TAMP ZA^lA. Jafam (AP)
Four decades after he van-
ished from his Army unit, a
frail, tearful, 64-year-old
American soldier pleaded
guilty Wednesday to deser-
tion, saying he wanted to
avoid dangerous duty on the
Korean peninsula and
Vietnam.
Sgt. Charles Robert Jenkins
was given a 30-day sentence
and a dishonorable discharge,
but the judge recommended
suspending the jail term. The
decision is up to the military,
which was expected to rule on
the recommendation soon.
The plea, which came dur-
ing a court-martial at this
Army camp outside of Tokyo,
was part of a bargain with
U.S. military officials to win
Jenkins a lesser sentence.
The maximum sentence in
his case was life in prison.
The North Carolina native
lived in communist North
Korea for 39 years after he
fled his post on the Korea
peninsula.
"Ma'am, I am in fact
;zuilty." Jenkins told the
judge. Col. Denise Vowell. He
also pleaded guilty to aiding
the enemy by teaching
Enghsh to military cadets in
the 1980s.
However he denied that he
Rehnquist undergoing treatment

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist revealed Monday that he is
undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for thyroid
cancer, signs he has a grave form of the disease and probably
will not return to the bench soon. The election eve disclosure by
the 80-year-old justice underscores the near certainty that the
next president will make at least one appointment to the
Supreme Court and probably more.

advocated the overthrow of
the United States in propa-
ganda broadcasts, and plead-
ed innocent to charges of
making disloyal statements.
Vowell dropped those accusa-
tions.
The American turned him-
self into U.S. mihtary authori-
ties on Sept. 11, two months
after he left Pyongyang and
came to Japan for medical
treatment. Tokyo called for
leniency in his case so he
could live in Japan with his
Japanese wife, Hitomi Soga,
and their two daughters.
In full military dress for the
proceedings, Jenkins wept as
he described his depression,
fears of death and heavy
drinking in the days leading
up to his Jan. 5, 1965 disap-
pearance from his unit.
He said he fled because he
was afraid he would be trans-
ferred to dangerous daytime
patrols in the Demilitarized
Zone between the two Koreas,

More people kidnapped in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (,\P)
Gunmen stormed the compound of a Saudi company in a fash-
ionable Baghdad neighborhood Monday, seizing an American, a
Nepalese and four Iraqis after a gun battle in which a guard and
one of the assailants were killed, poUce said. The American, who
was not identified, was the 12th U.S. citizen reported kidnapped
or missing in Iraq. He was grabbed about 500 yards from the
house where two Americans and a Briton were kidnapped last
month. All three were beheaded.
California backs stem-cell research
Caufornia (AP)
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, breaking with fellow Republicans
to flex his own political muscle, persuaded his California con-
stituents to spend $3 billion on stem-cell research. In another
hot-button ballot issue, voters in 11 states overwhelmingly sup-
ported banning gay marriage. On a day when voters in 34 states
considered 163 wildly disparate proposals, voters in Montana
okayed the use of medical marijuana; Oklahomans opted to take
a chance on a state lottery; and Arizona residents passed a first
of its kind crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Israeli lawmakers back funding
Israel's parHaraent gave preliminary approval Wednesday to
compensation payments for Jews living in Gaza and four West
Bank settlements, clearing a major hurdle in Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon's plan to evacuate 25 settlements next year. By a
64-44 vote with nine abstentions, the Knesset passed the first of
three votes on compensation packages giving hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars to each family of the 8,800 settlers in Gaza and
parts of the West Bank.
Republicans extend House control
WASlfTWOTON(AP) _
The power of incumbency and an advantageous GOP redistrict-
iug in Texas swept Republicans to another two years of control
over the House of Representatives. Virtually all sitting represen-
tafives in the 435-member House won re-election, leaving
Speaker Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader Tom DeLay and their
GOP majority firmly in charge.
Executives convicted in Enron case
A jury has convicted four former Merrill Lynch & Co. executives
and a former mid-level Enron Corp. finance executive of con-
spiracy and fraud for helping push through a sham deal to pad
the energy company's earnings. The deal involved a bogus sale
of interest in power plants mounted on barges to the brokerage
at the end of 1999 so the energy company could appear to have
met earnings targets.

How to eat good food for cheap, not in the cafe
Brian Magsipoc
It's the predicament of
every dorm student, old or
new. It has plagued dorm stu-
dents for years. Maybe that
mystery loaf looks a little too
mysterious to try out, or
maybe those vegetables taste
somewhat rubbeiy. Granted,
the cafeteria does make some
good food, but what is a dorm
student to do when the menu
at the cafeteria just doesn't
look appetizing?
The obvious answer is
something cheap and easy to
prepare. "If there's nothing at
the caf6 I want, I will just
make a sandwich or some
kind of soup in my room,"
said Sara Bandel, junior jour-
nalism major. "I also keep
fruit in my room. ..canned
stuff too." Other foods include
Ramen noodles, microwave
macaroni and cheese, and
other pastas, says Bandel.
Lately, the cafeteria has
been offering alternatives to
the daily menu. Frozen pizzas
and burritos now line the
shelves of the ice cream freez-
er. "I check the freezer for
burritos or pizza, if I even
want that, and if not I go back
to my room and starve," said
Shane Gallatin, junior mass
communications major.
Another alternative, for
those with a little more
money, is eating out. China
Kitchen, a small oriental
restaurant located in the
Winn- Dixie plaza at four cor-
ners, offers a full plate of food
for under five dollars. On the
fancier side, there's Tony's
Pasta Shop, located in the
Bluff View Art District of
downtown Chattanooga.
Tony's serves Italian food
comparable to Olive Garden,
but at lower prices. And, of
course, the fast food places on
Old Lee Highway in Ooltewah
- Taco Bell, McDonalds,
Burger King, Bojangles,
Subway, and Wendy's. There
are also the fast food places
located on campus: KR's Place
and the Campus Kitchen.
Lastly, for dorm students
with some skill in the kitchen,
both Talge and Thatcher halls
have kitchens. Students must
provide their own cooking
utensils, of course, but noth-
ing beats a home cooked meal.

Brian Lauritzen
My lucky boxers have failed
me. Oh sure, they've gotten me
through some uncertain times
(tests, auditions, etc.), but
Tuesday night they weren't par-
ticularly helpful as President
Bush was awarded a second
term— this time by voters, not
the Supreme Court. However,
there were other winners and
losers in this election besides
President Bush and Senator
Kerry (and my lucky bi
I ers).
I Winners: Some
people in Ohio report-
edly waited in line mor
than 10 hours to ca;
their votes. Such a
mitment to the democratii
process is a testament to the
value they place on having
their voice heard.
Loser: The Electoral
College is an anti-
quated system that
was developed to encourage
candidates to campaign in
places besides just population
centers. Now they only cam-
paign in the states that matter.
Since when is the number of
votes less important than where
the votes are coming from? Is
this true democracy?
Tuesday night/ Wednesday
morning wouldn't have been up
in the air if it weren't for the
May God bless America
Electoral College. President
Bush ^vas clearly the choice of
the electorate. He won by more
than 3.5 milhoD votes nation-
wide—hardly a small margin.
It's time to either reform the
Electoral College so that elec-
toral votes are awarded propor-
tionally or abolish it altogether.
Winners: The American peo-
ple are fighting again.
That's a good thing.
When we were
paranoid following
1, everyone
banded
together and
passed one of
the worst pieces
of legislation in
American history: The
Patriot Act. (Please, Mr.
Ashcroft, take more of my
freedoms away.)
But during the
Democratic primar-
ies, Howard Dean reminded us
that it was okay to disagree with
President Bush. That was his
only contribution to the cam-
paign, but it may have been the
most valuable one of any of the
candidates. After all, it is debate
that keeps this nation healthy.
It's been a \vild, record-set-
ting campaign. Was it the most
important election of our life-
time? Only time ^vill tell.
Timothy Morse
On Tuesday, the people of
the United States of America
spoke out. They spoke out
against terrorism and
oppression. They spoke out
against higher ta.\es. They
spoke out in favor of privati-
zation of Social Security.
They spoke with a resound-
ing "Yes!" for George W.
Bush.
In
that SE
voter
than w
to expect, mil-
lions of voters
piled into
jammed polling
pla
country. George
W. Bush, breaking
the all-time popular
vote total, carried
51% of the popular
vote and key battle-
ground states like Florida
and Ohio. Bush also edged
out Kerry in close states like
Nevada and Iowa - winning
31 states to Kerry's 20. The
presidential race stayed
tight, but very clear-cut.
I would like to say that I
tremendously respect John
Kerry for his decision to con-
cede this election within a
day. Where his prede
Gore had failed to be gra-
cious, Kerry has proved supe-
rior. I believe Senator Kerry
realized that while he could
have contested and fought
the results in Ohio (though
without much hope of win-
ning), he decided that the
American people should be
the judge of this election -
not a lawyer in a courtroom.
Thank you, Senator
Kerry.
So none of
it really mat-
ters now. The
pundits, the
polls, the ana-
lysts - all are
levant. What we
face now is another
four years of progress.
We look forward to a
period of economic
growth and financial
opportunity for all of
;rica. We see a safe and
secure homeland - or

The opportunity for a

■that
History is important, stay informed
I have enjoyed every histo-
ry class that I have taken.
History helps us realize where
we are as a society and where
we are going. A great history
teacher once said, "History is
to society what memory is to
the individual." Without a
memory, it is difficult to func-
tion and it is impossible to
learn from past mistakes if
you cannot remember them.
I am patriotic and I love
this country, but I understand
that we should not just have a
blind patriotism that says,
"My country, right or wrong."
We should be able to objec-
tively evaluate our country
and logically come to the con-
clusion that it is worthy of our
love. So I was shocked when I
was told in my World
Civilization class that the
West, specificaUy America,
succeeded largely because of
slavery (i.e., oppression) and
"stealing."
The theory is that our coun-
try is founded on, and suc-
ceeded because of, slavery.
There's no denying that slav-
ery is a part of our history, but
is the practice of slavery
inherently western and the
participation in this practice
reason for success? Many
ancient and non-western cul-
tures practiced slavery,
including the Chinese,
Indians, Arabs, and even sub-
Saharan African tribes. Since
slavery is not distinctively
western, how can it be consid-
ered a source of our success
vls-^-vis other cultures? What
is distinctively western, how-
ever, is abolition. Far from
benefiting from slavery,
America paid an enormous
price to abolish it - over
900,000 American casualties
and billions ofdoUars in dam-
Western society certainly
has incorporated some for-
eign ideas and technologies.
The Chinese were responsible
for inventing printing, gun-
powder, and the compass.
However, these inventions
were held by the courts, and
had little affect on Chinese
society. When the West
learned about these inven-
tions, they had a transforming
impact. Although the Chinese
invented these technologies,
they were not ultimately as
successful as the West
because they lacked the
uniquely Western institutions
that combined science with
democracy and capitalism.
The interaction between sci-
ence and capitalism is a huge
reason why the West is suc-
cessful. Science provides the
knowledge that leads to
invention and capitalism sup-
pUes the mechanism by which
the invention is taken to the
general public. This, com-
bined with democracy,
allowed the west to succeed
and far surpass any other
nation. These three distinc-
tively western institutions
working together have made
the success of the West, and
consequently the United
States, possible.
I invite you to take a look
into these issues and the his-
tory of our nation. Take a his- t
tory class, read, research, and
form an objective opinion. I
believe that when you are
through, you will have a
stronger, more objective love
of your country. Most impor-
tantly, never leave a class-
room just believing the opin-
ions of a teacher; form your
own opinions. If you just
blindly accept their opinions,
you have no opinion of your
own, and do not really know
what you stand for.

The Student Center Sabbath
School started in the fall of
2002 by returning student mis-
sionaries who wanted to have a
Sabbath School dedicated to
studying the scriptures. When
the Sabbath School first began
with seven small group leaders,
attendance averaged 30 stu-
dents every Sabbath morning.
Now there are 23 small group
leaders and 100 students con-
sistently attenduig. The Student
Center Sabbath School has
studied various topics from the
Book of Acts, to Moses and now
the book of Micah. Students
attending the Student Center
Sabbath School experience rich
diversity by being part of a dif-
ferent small group each
Sabbath morauig.
The leaders hope that this
church can be a "liome" church
for Southern's student body.
The Southern Missionary
Church will begin Nov. 6, and
mil be held every Sabbath in
the chapel ofTaige Hall at 11:30
a.m. Built upon the same prin-
ciples that the Student Center
Sabbath School began ivith, the
church's mission is to: search

"We all seem to work well
together," Cook said of her
team's performance.
The Rugrats managed to
keep it close at the half after
scoring a late first-half touch-
down to cut the lead to 12-6

the Superstars began reaching
into their bag of tricks to put
the game out of reach, with
great showings by Kelli Leeper
and Vanessa Thompson.

controversy, however. There
were some questionable tac-
tics late in the game, in which
the Superstars did not attempt
to simply kneel the ball to run
the clock out, but instead
looked to pad their big lead

Coach Ryan Lucht had a few
words of explanation, "They're

Southern Striders looks for more runners
I am definitely being a lit-
tle biased when I say that
Southern Striders is the best
club on campus. We have a
lot planned for this school
year, including social events,
running with friends, and oh
yeah, did I mention a track
meet at the end of the school
year?
That's right, you heard it
here first. We are looking to
hold a track meet right here
at Southern, hopefully some-
time in April of this school
year, it will include all
events, from the 100 meters
all the way up to the three-
mile distance, as well as food,
festivities, music, and the
chance to see your peers in
the club going out and show-
ing their skills and what they
have been practicing all
school year long.
To make all this happen
however, we are asking for
your help. What does the
running club need? Your par-
ticipation in this event (we
will be opening it up to the
entire campus), or your
efforts to help get this event
off the ground would both be
appreciated. The Southern
Striders require no member
fees and we are looking for
more people to come out and
run with us, whether it be
half a mile or much further
(like the marathon in David
Carter's case). In just two
years of existence, we have
already gone out to Raleigh,
NC, to compete against the
likes of Ohio State, North
Carolina, and Duke in a
nationally acclaimed cross
country meet, so we are con-
stantly doing exciting things
in the club. Just get in con-
tact with me and I will gladly
get you in on the best kept
secret in Collegedale, the
Southern Striders running
club!

^pi&Ull LlUCKlllC friends, snacks and games
"This is the first time I have been to
fall festival and it was a lot better than
I was expecting," said Manny Rascon,
a senior marketing major. "There was
such a variety of activities."
The festival, held at Griffin Farms
in Collegedale Sunday, Nov. 7, hosted
600 to 800 students, faculty and com-
munity members, said Justin Evans,
social vice president.
"Everything went great," he said.
"We had a lot of different booths and a
petting zoo. There was pretty much
something for everyone to enjoy.
The Tri -Co nun unity Fire Department
r^nds to a car fire Saturday at the
"lersection of Industrial Drive and
Apisoti PUie.
Once students parked their cars and
started walking toward the activities,
they were greeted with a huge sign
that had the letters SA Fall Festival cut
out and a huge bonfire behind to shin-
ing through the board. The students
made their way through some trees
and it opened up to a big clear area
where all the activities were in a circle.
Students participated in many
activities like balloon darts, bean bag
toss, and even a bell to hit to test
strength. Students won tickets at each
of these games and could cash them in
for different prizes.
"I loved playing the different
games," said Alex King, a junior busi-
ness administration major. "It was fun
to see how many tickets I could win."
There were many other activities
for students to enjoy like face paint-
ing, a marriage booth, a jail ceil, a
jumping gym, and a petting zoo, which
held sheep and goats. There were also
two tractors that were taking students
on a hayride around the farm.
A stage was set up at the far end of
the farm with a country band playing
good ole country music. While the
music played a big group of students
started line-dancing in front of the
stage.
"The atmosphere has been so
great," said Julie Hoover, a journalism
major. The sky is so clear, the music
is great, the activities are fiin. It
couldn't have been a more perfect
night."

Herin Hall to be renovated

With almost half of a $3 mil-
Hon campaign raised, the
School of Nursing looks for-
ward to transforming Herin
Hall into an enhanced center
for nursing education.
"You have to keep improving
to stay on the cutting edge,"
said Development Director
Robert Raney, who believes the
New Dimensions of Healing
campaign will further the nurs-
ing program's success.
Alumni, former faculty, and
local businesses have donated
or pledged .$1,4 million so far,
said Raney, who kept donor
names anonymous. Plans for
the building, designed by
Corporate Architect Fred
Turner, call for $2.5 million in
construction costs and
$500,000 in equipment and
furnishing.
Raney said this year marks
the most progress in the cam-
paign.
"I believe it was 1999 when
people began giving [money] to
this as a dream, but it took full
shape this past year," Raney
said.
Dr. Phil Hunt, dean of'nurs-
ing, said the campaign
responds to Herin Hall's lack of
space for the 532 nursing
majors who make up 22 per-
cent of Southern's student
body. Hunt said it's difficuh for
nursing professors to teach in
other buildings when they need
essential visual aids, like man-
nequins, that are hard to carry.
"It will definitely enhance
our teaching abilities when we
can have all classes in one
building," Hunt said.
Plant Services will do most
of the construction, planned to
begin after spring graduation
in 2005. Lynn Wood Hall and
Daniels Hall will hold nursing
classrooms and labs during the
one- to-two year process. Hunt
said.
Junior nursing major
Jonathan Castells plans to
graduate before Herin Hall is
finished, but doesn't mind
moving to temporary nursing
classrooms until then.
"It's going to be worth it,
maybe not for me but fot other
students in the future," said
Castells, who believes the new
Center for Nursing Education
will attract students- "More
students will want to become
nursing majors because it [will
be] a comfortable environment
and a better facility."

Preparing for marriage class
According to the Chattanooga
Times Free Press, every year
about 33,000 Tennessee couples
divorce. Tennessee the second
highest divorce rate in the nation.
This is because some couples
refuse to receive marriage coun-
selmg. In an effort to change this
the state lowered the price of
mamage Ucenses to $60 instead
of $95, if a couple receives four
horns of marriage counseling.
To help lower these statistics,
the CoUegedale Church is offer-
ing a series entitled "Preparing
for Marriage," scheduled for Nov.
12 and 13, and held at the
CoUegedale Church.
The opening presentation will
start at 7 p.m. on Friday evenmg.
There will be four sessions on
Saturday afternoon from 2-6

environment, such as a univer-
definition is becoming
aiore of a reality when observ-
ing the growing student body
liere at Southern. This growing
trend, however, is less appar-
ent in Southern's faculty.
During the past three years,
the percentage of minority -
noD-white faculty — has risen
from 4-5 percent to 6.5 per-
cent, while the percentage of
African American Faculty has
dropped from 6.3 percent to
3^ percent- This means that

there are only about four
African .Americans.
This, how
the

Steve Pawluk, senior vice pres-
ident for academic administra-
tiwi, is very passionate about
seang more diversity among
the faculty at Southern, espe-
ddDy in terms of how it affects
the students.

to work in a global community,

work with people who look,

advises Sean Reed Tuesday for second s
losing African American pro-
fessors in particular. There are
many possible reasons, includ-
ing better salaries offered at
other institutions.
It's not that Southern is
doing something that is unat-
tractive to minority faculty, but
that there are so few of them.
In terms of diversity, this is
where a person may look
around their environment and
feel that they don't fit in
because there are not that
many people that look, or
think like them.
Pawluk and the rest of the
academic administration are
not the only ones interested in
seeing a more diverse faculty at
Southern, not only in terms of
more African American profes-
sors, but non-African
American faculty as well.

A top Islamic cleric read
passages from the Quran at
Yasser Arafat's hospital bed-
side Wednesday, with the com-
atose Palestinian leader in
what an aide called the "final
phase" of his life.
As Arafat's condition deteri-
orated, aides made plans to
eventually fly his hody to Cairo
for a funeral, then to the West
Bank for burial at his Ramallah
headquarters. Palestinians also
selected his immediate succes-
sor, saying the parliament
speaker Rauhi Fattouh a rela-
tive unknown will become tem-
porary president of the
Palestinian Authority at
Arafat's death.
The cleric, Taisser Bayod
Tamimi, rushed to Paris from
the West Bank to be with the
75-year-old Palestinian leader,
who is m critical condition at
the Percy Military Training
Hospital, connected to a respi-
rator and a feeding tube.
"I prayed to God for his
recovery," said Tamimi, who
said he was with Arafat for
more than an hour, reciting
from the Mushm holy book.
Tamimi said his close friend
was very sick, "but he is still
alive."
Tamimi said earlier that life

across Ivory Coast — poten-
tially the majority of the
14,000 French still in the for-
mer French colony, a French
official said.
"It is on a voluntary basis.
We are not going to evacuate
all our French citizens
because they are too many,"
the official said, speaking on
condition of anonymity.
The official said between
4.000 and 8,000 French have
expressed a desire to leave,
either temporarily or for
good. Evacuations started
Wednesday morning with a
convoy of 40 U.N. personnel,
U.N. spokesman Philippe
Mathieu said.
The 40 were among more
than 1,000 expatriates who
have holed up in a U.N. head-
quarters amid four days of
looting and attacks, Mathieu
said.
More than 1,600 other for-
eigners who have taken refuge
in a French military base in
Abidjan are to be flown out.
They included 985 French and
citizens of 42 other countries,
the French said.
Violence erupted in Ivory
Coast, the world's top cocoa
producer and West Africa's
economic powerhouse, on
Saturday after Ivory Coast
warplanes killed nine French
peacekeepers and an
American aid worker in an
airstrike on the rebel-held
north.
France wiped out the
nation's newly built-up air-
force on the tarmac in retalia-
tion, sparking a violent anti-
French uprising of looting,
burning and attacks by loyal-
ist youths. The turmoil has
claimed at least 27 lives and
wounded more than goo, with
no deaths reported among
expatriates.
Heavily armed French
forces with three armored
vehicles manned a roadblock
on the way to Ivory Coast's
international airport, which is

^ Paintballing, an up and coming sport Question
Seth Blanchard
"Helmets on, barrel covers
off!" Wes Gregorys voice rips
through the tension already
mounting between warriors.
Trigger fingers twitch as the
5-second silent count is
declared. There is time for one
last deep breath. With only
seconds until confusion sur-
rounds them, each soldier
prays that when the whistle
blows, they'll be giving more
than their getting.
Gregory, a partner at Blitz
Kreig Assault Paintball on
McDonald Rd. is the only one
on the field dodging 200 mph
paintballs without a gun. Face
mask on, Gregory hugs the
sideline with all the dexterity
of a referee who has had his
fair share of welts.
Suspended somewhere
between multi-player video
games and full-on warfare,
paintball exhilarates partici-
pants with its demand for
rapid response, teamwork and
advanced techniques.
"My technique," said Zack
Tripp, 12, a frequent competi-
tor at BKA, "don't get shot."
A visual survey of those
hiding behind pallets, hay
bails and rickety wagons,
proves paintball is popular
among all ages. There aren't
any women assaulting Fort
Wilderness on field 7, but sto-
ries fly of girls who have
played in the past; one story-
teller had such respect, one
would think Joan of Arc had
frequented those fields.
More outrageous than a
female saint playing paintball
on McDonald Rd. is the price
many pay to play; one reason
why BKA was started. "We
wanted to make it affordable,"
said Stephanie Bell, an
employee at BKA. Bell com-
pared their $20 admission
and equipment fee to area
parks double that cost. But
add paint and you may find
yourself skipping meals.

Ask Big Debbie
o
Dear Big Debbie,
Once iigain, it's spiiil week
and I can't decide: should I
dress up, or not? To wear, or
not to wear? Is it just me, or
does no one really participate
in this kind of thing anyway?
-Cautious participator
Dear Cautious participator,
Look at you, throwing gen-
eralizations right and leftl
Just because you haven't seen
anyone in ridiculous,
unmatched clothing doesn't
necessarily mean that there
aren't any out there. For
('Xiinijik', I've seen a grand
l"l:il "( six people dressed to
kill aiul it's only Tuesday- an
impressive turnout. Don't
knock the Southern spirit.
The fact is my dear, every-
one is thinking the exact same
thing you are. Secretly we all
know the answer-this campus
will never be overtaken by
massive amounts of Goodwill
retro apparel. Yet SA doesn't
want to acknowledge it
because spirit week is a rela-
tively cheap event.
If you can't decide, I bet
you're feeling a pull to par-
take in the bedecking of ran-
dom outerwear. But unfortu-
nately, you care what people
think about you, am I right?
(Oh, yes I am!)
Forget about everyone else
for moment. Wliat do you
want to do? Wliat kind of
memories do you want to
make in college? I would like
to challenge you to do what
you feel like doing. After all,
that's a big chunk of life. Stop
short-changing yourself.

The difference between a

adult acts like an adult no
matter what demands or rules
are required of them.
From the ancient Egypti;
empire to the modem 21st cen-
tury, religion has always been
the common thread that binds
us. Cultures have been defined
by their religions, or in the
modem case, by the lack of a
single unified religion. Our pas-
sionate devotion to the spiritu-
al has always either bound us to
one another as family, or has
provoked us to destroy one
another as enemies, all in the
name of religion. What causes
us to so intensely seek out that
evasive spirituality that defies
logic and escapes reason?
The Oct. 25 issue of Time
magazine featured a cover story
entitled "Is God in Our
Genes?," by Jeffrey Kluger. The
article deals with the recently
published book "The God
Gene: How Faith is Hardwired
into Our Genes." In it, molecu-
lar biologist Dean Hamer, chief
of gene structure at the
National Cancer Institute,
claims that he has found one of
the genes responsible for the
spiritual experience.
His conclusion stems from a
SLX year study into the genes
responsible for brain chemi-
cals. That, along with data
from other similar studies, has
led Hamer to the discovery of
the gene. Hamer is quick to
note that there are probably
many such genes that con-
tribute to feelings of spiritual
transcendence, but tliat isn't
the point. Everything we think
and feel, including our spiritu-
ality, is caused by chemicals m
our brains. Those chemicals are
regulated by the sets of instruc-
tions that are our DNA.
This is, of course, provoking
serious thouglit among both
those who consider themselves
religious and those who don't.
From an evolutionary stand-
point, a gene that compels
humans to seek for a higher
power would bring them
together in communities that
would ensure survival. And a
gene that drives them to look
beyond their dismal mortality
would also encourage tliem to
keep on living during the dull
or painful moments of life.
This speculation brings
makes those who have been
taught not to take God so light-
ly a little uneasy. Is God noth-
ing more than a gene that
evolved to keep us content with
our ordinary lives? Is our expe-
rience of God simply a feeling
that's been evolving for so
many millions of years that
now it seems like the right
thing to believe?
The article adds that, for the
more spiritually- inclined, it's
not difficult to conclude that
God designed us to seek after
him. "If human beings were
divinely assembled, why
wouldn't our list of parts
include a genetic chip that
would enable us to contemplate
our maker?" the article asks.
Maybe not one just genetic
chip, but the whole hst of parts
compels us to seek God out. I
would suggest that every cell,
molecule, and atom shouts the
glory of a Creator. A God gene?
Perhaps. But it's so much more
than that. Every part of us
bears God's fingerprint. He
crafted us, bid us live, and
signed his name on every piece.

being offered through the School
of Religion. According to Hasel,
Old & New Testament profes-
sors had taught one basic
archaeology course in die past,
but even Uiat course bad not
been taught for ten years.
Hasel beg.in railing cont.acts
in the U.S. and abroad. What he
found were dead ends. H,-isel
says it is difflcult to acquire a col-
lection ftora foreign countries
and import them into the U.S.,
given current antiquities laws.
Hasel got in contact widi Dr.
WUIiam G. Dever, America's
foremost Near Eastern archaeol-
ogist at the University of
Arizona, and Hasel's doctoral
du-ector. In 1975, Dever had
brought back an impressive col-
lection of artifacts that be had
excavated from several sites in
Israel during the 1960s and early
1970s. Hasel points out that
Dever imported the collection
legally to the United States just
before new antiquity laws were
implemented a few years later.

Dever mentioned to Hasel
Uiat the archaeology program at
die University of Arizona bad
closed down m 1995 and that be
might lorn 20 pieces or so of his
collection to Soutiiem Adventist
University. A year went by and
Blanco and Hasel decided to ask
Dever to come lecture for
Southern's annual Pierson
Uctureship. Hasel said that
Dever was so impressed with
Southern's studenLs and faculty
Uiat he told die school he had
deaded to place his entire collec-
tion at Southern. -The amazing
thuig IS that we never asked for
tJus," Hasel said. "Dr. Dever had
Uus burden on his heart.-
The collection consists of pot-
tery, lamps, weapons, and other
ardfiicts sp,-mnmg across history
from die time of Abraham up to
the Roman Empu^. Roughlv 80
perccm of the collection is actu-
aUy on display m die museum
ording to Hasel. And there is
room in the museum layout for
temporary exhibits to be added
later on.
"I hope the collection will add
to the archaeological program
there at Soudiern," Dever said.
"It's one of the best collections in
the country and I thmk there are
some people there at Southern
who will be able to put it to use
and appreciate it."
According to Hasel, the col-
lection has never been on dis-
play-it has been stiicdy a teach-
ing collection. Here at Soudiern,
the collection will not only be
displayed m die Lynn H. Wood
Archaeological Museum, but it
will also be used for educational
purposes in Southern's archaeol-
og>' program.
"We have the most complete
teaching collection in the coun-
try. It distinguishes Southern's
arehaelogical program," said Dr.
Ron Clouzet, School of Religion
chair.
Hasel said that Southern's
ardiaeological program is grow-
mg and developing There are
currently 20-25 majors and
nnnorsera-oUed in the program.
So far, seven students have grad-
uated ividi dieir Bachelor's in
Archaeolog). at Soudiern. "Our
goal IS not to have a huge pro-
gram but an exceUent one,"
Hasel said.
The Lynn H. Wood
Archaeological Museum will be

Team Clarke
vs. Bus Drivers
Team Clarke remains unde-
feated after winning 13-0 in
their Tuesday night game
agamst the Bus Drivers. The
game started out with the
teams holding each other at
bay. .Just before half time, Team
Cl.irke wide receiver Evelyn
Lopez scored ran the ball in for
a touchdown. Putting Team
Clarke on the board with six
points. They didn't get the extra
point after that touchdown.
In the second half, Team
Clarke blocker Sally Shadle ran
the ball in for the second and
final touchdoivn of the night
making the score 12-0. Wide
receiver Kelly Mittan tacked on
the ex-tra pomt to make the
score 13-0. Saly Shadle said
that she grew up surrounded by
boys and that caused her to take
an early interest in sports.
Team Clarke nearly scored a
third touchdown in the second
half, but the officials ruled it out
of bounds. The Bus Drivers put
up a strong defense and kept
the score low but never could
seem to get on the scoreboard.

Deep South beats Wallabies in a nail-biter
The Wallabies started out
strongly ivith touchdowns
from Brian Niehoff and Andy
Wade. Wade's gritty touch-
down run was emblematic of
the speed and finesse he
brings to the game. After a
missed first attempt, Justin
Carter caught Deep South's
first touchdown in the end
zone. It was classic Deep
South: if they are ever rattled,
they hide it well. Jimmie Tan
followed it up with a sweet
long run for another touch-
down. Deep South was now
by one point. Jonathan
Cherne, who had been latent
during the beginning of the
game, made a beautiful long
catch, but the Wallabies'
momentum was shattered by
Carter's interception.
A few missed passes later,
and Deep South's quarterback
and captain, Adam Brown,
connected with the ever-reli-
able Carter for another touch-
down. Advantage: definitely
Deep South's. But Cherne
then proved that he was not
just a pretty face; with a clutch
interception he ran for a
touchdown. Aaron McNulty
and Jason Davis caught two
clean passes from Matt
Andersen, the Wallabies'
quarterback, each adding a
point in the end zone. The
game was now tied. Deep
South was unfazed. Brown to
Carter and Brown to Carter
again added another seven
points to their score. A sack
from Clayton Vance and
another interception by
Brown ended the Wallabies'
chances of advancement.
Final score: 27-20.

Sports
The game started for Old
School with a bad snap. Little
did they reaUze it was only a
precursor for the rest of the
night. The Buccaneers got
three touchdowns out of Matt
Higgins, and two from Donnie
Miller, en route to a 38-6 maul-
ing.
The mantra of the
Buccaneers was the lateral, and
they used it on several occa-
sions, even drawing a touch-
down off it on a Wckoff return
when Miller flipped the ball to
Higgins for the score. Along
with the three touchdowns
ft-om Higgins, he caught four
passes, while teammates Dan
Thompson and Greg Peterson
caught multiple balls throivn
by quarterback Jamey
Houghton. Peterson made an
outstanding play when he
hauled in a long pass on the
sideline, barely keeping both
' fe«ihB6^iid*.'' J""' ili"
Quarterback John Nafie had
a few bright spots, including a
sprint downfield late in the
game for a touchdown, but it
was far too little too late for Old
School.
So, was this playoff game
one of the crowning achieve-
ments in Miller's life? "Not at
all," he replied. When asked
about his touchdowns he has
taken away from him (one on
an inadvertent whistle, the
other a tackle) he said tliat they
both tough calls to make.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1926
Volume 60, Issue 10
Domestic violence is a reality in
I niany Adventist homes, according to a
I recent study.
■This research shows we are on par
nth national statistics as far as
I domestic violence is concerned," Dr.
JRenee Drumm, chair of Southern's
I School of Social Work and Family
I Studies.
Findings in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon,
I Montana and Washington show that
93 percent of
Adventists inter-
viewed in the
northwest region
are physically and
sexually abused in
relationships. Of
this, 24 percent of
the victims were
pushed, grabbed or
Dr. Rcnt-L' Drumm shoVCd while 22
percent hit or had
something thrown and kicked at
them.
In contrast, national research by
the U.S. Department of Justice Center
for Disease Control and Prevention
show 7 percent of males and 22 per-
I cent of females are physically abused
I by an intimate partner. Drumm pre-
I sented this two- year study targeting
I Adventist adult-adult relationships
I and marriages at the Society for
I Scientific Study of Religion's annual
[seminar in Kansas City, Mo. in
[October.

Traffic clogs College Drive by Spalding Elementary Tuesday morning. College Drive is set for improvements next year, helping traffic
College Drive to be improved
Sarah Postler
|"thers,
See VIOLENCE, P.2
Sidewalk enthusiasts wiU be happy to
know that soon there will be yet another
travel route for their enjoyment. The City
of' CoUegedale along with Tennessee's
Department of Transportation (TDOT)
will be working this spring to improve
College Drive with a wider road, a turning
lane, and the construction of a sidewalk.
The improvements are a continuation
of the University Drive construction that
began three years ago and the new 15
month project is expected to cause fewer
traffic delays. The construction will not be
on the main road and therefore will not
inconvenience as many drivers, said
Marty Hamilton, director of Property and
Industry Development.
Traffic delays near Spalding
Elementary are something CoUegedale
residents are all too familiar with.
Traffic is terrible. There is usually a
bne all the way fi-om the church," said
Rob Raney, a Spalding parent who often
has to wait in traffic when dropping his

Christ lil<e. While evangelism is
necessary and important in the
Adventist ministry, more must
be done to educate people on
issues like domestic violence.
"One of the things our
church has relied on is evangel-
ism, but this study has shown
thatweneedlo take care of our
people after evangelism,"
Drumm said.
Valerie Radu, director of
Southern's social work pro-
gram agrees, adding that edu-
cation plays an important role
in heightening the awareness of
domestic abuse.
"We need to educate the
people both within the church
and the larger community
about domestic violence and
the role social work plays in
providing intervention and
prevention," Radu said.
Admitting that domestic vio-
lence is a part of homes is
another way of dealing with the

Other social work faculty

research is necessary and
important in making
Adventists aware of the reality
of domestic violence.
"It helps break down the
barrier of denial," Stevenson
Next, Drumm wants to
include Southern in a project
on drug use in the Adventist
church.
"My dream is to see social

Southern's campus."

Both companies are look-

Symphony Guild disbands
Orchestra students may see
less scholarship money fol-
lowing the recent disbanding
of the Symphony Guild. For
two decades, the guild's com-
munity members raised
money for scholarships
through yearly flea markets
and concert dinners.
"A lot of us saw the demise
of the symphony guild as a lot
more than just losing a few
dollars," said Scott Ball, dean
of the School of Music. Ball
appreciated the community
awareness the guild provided.
"It seems like there was just
great unhappiness among
those in charge."
None of the faculty in the
School of Music heard direct-
ly from the guild when it dis-
solved, lea\'ing much of the
details to speculation.
Kathy Oliver, last known
president of the Symphony
Guild, couldn't be reached for
comment.
"We were told they stopped
because there were too few
members doing the work,"
said Laurie Redmer Minner,
associate professor of music
and symphony conductor.
Minner is responsible for
deciding which orchestra stu-
dents receive guild scholar-
ships and estimated that the
guild contributed $1500 to
$7000 yearly.
"I don't think it was neces-
sary. There should have been
better communication
between the guild and the
music department," said
sev^l - ".-sl^apM i^^u'l'lli' „'^"™» ''^y "hom spent
Gerald Peel, adjunct professor
of music and former guild
president.
Both Ball and Peel had
heard that the rising costs for
Southern's Seriice
Department to set up events
had caused frustration among
guild members trying to raise
money for the University, but
neither was certain if that was
to blame.
"I've worked with [the
guild] many times," said
Dennis Schreiner, director of
the Service Department. "I've
tried to talk them into sai-ing
money."
For a long time, the guild
had requested that staging be
placed in the cafeteria for
their annual dinner concerts;
a task that Schreiner said was
more work than building
stages for camp meeting and
graduation. Setup often took
all day and clean up went
through the night as they
restored the cafeteria for the
next day's meals.
"We charged them jn«
■what it cost us in labor.
Schreiner said.

Smith also said she feels
pressure to graduate on time
to avoid borrowing more
money.
"They just keep adding up,"
Danielle Wilson said of her
student loans.
Wilson, a nursing major,
also works at the cafeteria to
help pay the school bill. She
plans on finishing her associ-
ate degree at Southern and
then transferring to UTC,
where she will save around
$7,000 with in-state tuition.
Freshman general studies
major Brianna Blackburn said
she has struggled to get
enough loans to cover her
tuition, and the money she
earns working in town is for
other expenses, like her car.
Blackburn also plans to trans-
fer to UTC next year for its
reduced in-state tuition.
Even though Southern's
tuition is increasing, students
will still be paying less than
they would at some other
Seventh-day Adventist col-
leges. Pacific Union College's
total cost for this year was
over $23,000, about $5>ooo
more than Southern. And
while tuition at UTC is lower
for Tennessee residents, for
out-of-state students it is
actually more expensive than
Southern.
Despite her concerns about
the cost of going to school
here, Smith said she has
stayed at Southern because of
the Christian environment.
"I know God wants me to be
here," she said.

Summerour gets
a new fountain
Landscape services have
added a new fountain to
Southern Adventist University's
beautiful campus this year.
The fountain is located in
front of Summerour Hall and in
behveen the library and
Hackman. It is a beautiful four
tier fountain that has water
trickling down from sL\ different
sides. The circular base of the
fountain is stacked rock with
landscaping around the fountain
that consists of shrubs and flow-
ers. There is a circular paved
area around the fountain with
bricks laid in the pavement.
"I always thought there need-
ed to be something in fixtnt of
Summerour," said Philip
Hoover, junior history major,
"the fountain is a perfect addi-
tion to that area."
Mark Antone, the director of
landscape services, is putting the
finishing touches on the foun-
tain. He is adding lights to the
fountain so that it can be
enjoyed at night and a timer for
tiie lights to come on at certam
times.
"I love to walk by the fountain
on my way to the library," said
Heidi Reiner, senior public rela-
tions major, "it is just so peace-
Hil."
Garden State Academy
slated to close in 2005
Don Cantrell
The New Jersey Conference
Executive Committee decided
earlier this month to close
Garden State Academy at the
end of the 2004-2005 School
year. The committee cited the
low enrollment and inflating
costs of maintaining and oper-
ating the school as reasons for
the closure.
Kleber Garcia, a Southern
student who attended GSA was
disappointed with the news of
the termination of the academy.
"I'm not happy with the deci-
sion at all," Garcia siiid. "I'm
totally against it."
In a statement released to
the Adventist Review, the com-
mittee painted a grim picture of
the school's financial situation
and said despite help from the
conference and local churches,
it was simply not possible to
support the school any longer.
According to the statement,
"Additional financial drains,
from deteriorating buildings
and equipment to insurance
premiums, have escalated
beyond available means."
Garcia said GSA was not in
such dire financial trouble
when he was in attendance in
"Personally, I think they
were doing well. When I left
they had about 120 students,
but after 1 was gone, I think
they were up to almost 150,"
Garcia said.
The committee's statement
said it was dismayed v/ith clos-
ing the academy, but it was a
decision that had to be made.
Also according to the state-
ment, the committee is "sad-
dened to see such an institution
that reaches back to the early
pioneer days of the New Jersey
Conference have to cease its
operation. But God is good
and He has promised that His
grace will see us through our
pain. We will work to discover
and provide assistance to keep
our students in an Adventist
academy, and care for the
dedicated, Christ-centered
administrators, teachers, and
staff who, have given so much
to this school."

Troops secure Fallujah
BAGHDAD. Img(AP)
U.S. and Iraqi troops
stormed insurgent-held police
stations and neighborhoods
Tuesday, launching an offen-
sive to retake parts of this
northern Iraqi city where gun-
men staged a mass uprising last
week in support of fighters in
Fallujali.
Troops secured several
pohce stations by the mid-
aftemoon, meeting "very little
resistance,- the U.S. military
said. Witnesses said insurgents
blew up three stations they
were holding before abandon-
ing them ahead of the U.S.
assault.
U.S. warplanes and hehcop-
tets hovered over Mosul as loud
e.>!plosions and gunfire were
heard. About 1.200 U.S. sol-
diers were taking part in tlie
offensive t
recapUire about 1
dozen police stations aban-
doned by Iraqi forces in the
uprising.
Mortars struck two areas
near tire main government
building in the city center,
killing three civilians and mjur-
ing 25 otliers, hospital officials
said. A car bomb ex-ploded near
a U.S. convoy in a Sunni Arab
neighborhood of western
Mosul, wounding one U S sol-
diets, the military said.
The uprising swept across
Mosul amid a wave of violence
across north and central Iraq
following tlie U.S.-led attack on
Fallujah, the insurgents'
strongest bastion, west of
Baghdad. The week-old
Fallujah offensive has killed at
least 38 American troops and
SIX Iraqi soldiers. American
officials estimate that 1 -.qo
insurgents have been killed in
the Fallujah fighting.
Many insurgents are tliought
to have slipped out of Fallujah
ahead of the U.S. onslaught.
Powell resigns, Rice takes over
WASHINGTON D-C.(AP)
President Bush promoted
his most trusted foreign polin'
adviser to Secretary of Stat^
on Tuesday, tappin;^
Condoleezza Rice to replace
warrior-turned-diplomat
Colin Powell as part of a
sweeping second-term
Cabinet overhaul.
"The secretary of state is

said of his national security
adviser.
He thanked Powell, a for-
mer chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and national
security adviser, for working
"tirelessly and selflessly" on
behalf of the country.
Rice is the second White

Fiery White House protest

The fatal shooting of a wounded and apparently unarmed man

experts said the Marine may have acted in self-defense because
of a danger that a wounded combatant might try to blow up a
hidden weapon; a key issue was whether the injured man was a
prisoner at the time.

Movie thieves face lawsuits
LOS ANGELES {AP}
Following the lead of record
companies who curtailed ram-
pant Internet piracy by targeting
even small-time file swappers,
Hollywood studios have
launched a first wave of lawsuits
against people who allegedly
downloaded recent films such as
"Spider-Man 2" and "Troy."
The seven major studios filed
the lawsuits for federal copy-
right infringement on Tuesday
in Denver, New York Gty, San
Francisco and St. Louis.
Lawsuits may have been filed in
other cities, but the Motion
Picture Association of America,
which represents the studios,
declined to say how many were
filed and where.
"It's not important," said
John Malcolm, senior vice pres-
ident and director of worldwide
anti-piracy operations for the
MPAA. "It doesn't matter if it's
10 lawsuits or 500 lawsuits. Ttie
idea here is that there is no safe
harbor."
Three lawsuits, obtained by
The Associated Press, were filed
in federal courts in Denver and
St. Louis. Two lawsuits were
filed in Denver against 22 defen-
dants, while the one in St. Louis
targets 18 individuals.

The cat's meow
Cats, cats, CATS, No matter
where you go, cats are there.
From the stage of Broadway to
Disney movies, SAU is no
exception. You've seen tlie cats
on campus, coats of various
shades and combinations of
black, tan, and orange. They sit,

Tills I iiK'siion, asked of many
iiiiliviiliiiiLs, received a wildly
varied lespiinse.
"I think that so long as the
cats are here, and we can feed
tliem, we should," said Jeremy
Wanipler, n sophomore physi-
cal education and recreation
major.
Many of those polled agreed.
But this statement raised other
questions. What happens when
students are not here to feed
the cats? And by feeding these
cats, are we inhibiting their nat-
ural hunting instincts?
Some arp adamantly against
feeding the cats.
"No! You should not feed
them. I stayed on campus over
midterm break, and the cats
were positively pitiful, mewing
at the doors and walking under
your feet, begging for food,"
said Heather Clifford, a sopho-
more nursing major. She went
on to comment that various
students had fed the cats from
tlie time they were kittens, so
they didn't know how to hunt
anymore.
"1 feed my cats every day,
and they still bring home things
that they catch and kill. If the
cats get hungry enough, the
instincts will kick in, and they
will hunt again," said .Jerica
Moore, a freshman pre-physi-
cal llierapymiyor.
After hearing both sides, you
and your conscience must
decide. Remember, whether or
not you feed them, they will
remain. Cats are resilient crea-
t^iros. Existing in just about
eveiy possible habitat, from the
alleyways of New York to the
barns of Oklahoma, they adapt
to their surroundings and prove

Mistake analysis
My fellow student mission-
ary, Rowena, wanted to plan a
party for some of our students to
thank them for all the times
they've invited us to things. We
decided to introduce them to
some favorite American foods
like lasagna and haystacks.
We started preparing for the
party about a week in advance.
First, we went shopping in
Moscow for the ingredients that
we knew we wouldn't be able to
find in the village of Zaoksky:
com chips, salsa, lettuce, ched-
dar cheese, lasagna noodles,
tomato sauce, and olives.
Then we asked Kathy, the
full-time missionary, if we could
use the kitchen m her apartment
to cook the food.
By the time Friday morning
rolled around we decided to go
ahead and invite our students
for supper Friday evening. We
went around the dorm looking
for students to invite, and we did
manage to find a few.
Then we started looking for
Kathy. We went to her apart-
ment and knocked on the door.
No answer. We went to her
office and knocked on that door.
No answer.
"I hope she didn't go to
Moscow," Rowena said. If she
had, we could expect her to be
gone all day.
We went shopping in the vil-
lage for the rest of the ingredi-
ents for the haystacks. When we
came back, we tried Kathy's
apartment again. Still no
answer.
It was time to come up with a
new plan. "We could cancel,"
Ro^vena said.
"But we just invited every-
one," I said. I'd feel pretty stupid
if we invited people to a part)'
and told Uiem it was canceUed,
all within a few hours.
I had another idea. Everyone
here knows that most of the stu-
dents own harmed cooking uten-
sils, like electric tea kettles and
hotplates. If we borrowed one-
and were extremely careful to
avoid starting a fire— we could
cook without using Kathy's
kitchen.
It was a bad idea. We bor-
rowed a hot plate, but we didn't
know how to use it. We set it up
like we would a camp stove and
ended up melting a piece of the
hot plate. Then, we had to return
the hot plate and explain om-
mistake to the person we had
borrowed it from. My dorm
room smelled of burnt rubber
for hours afterward.
With only part of the meal
cooked and no way of cooking
the rest, we had to go around the
dorm once again, looking for the
students we'd invited and telling
them we had to postpone the
party because we had an acci-
dent with the food.
Accidents are bound to hap-
pen. Many of the accidents are
our own fault, but the best thing
to do in such situations is to
learn from what went wrong.
For example, in my situation,
I should have planned better,
instead of waiting until the last
mmute to do everything. I also
should have known when to give
up. And I should never have bor-
rowed something I didn't know
how to use, especially something
that I knew could be very dan-
gerous if I wasn't careful.
So the next time you do some-
thing stupid, instead of being
embarrassed and dwelling on
your failure, do a mistake analy-
sis. Think: What did I do wrong^
What should I do differentl>
next time?
Take the time to learn from
your mistakes. Othenvise \ou
too, could find yourself spendmg

Editorial response
There are issues that need to
be addressed concerning the
Accent's coverage of the
Veteran's Park vandalism.
Newspapers do not become
"spokespersons" for criminals
by printing coverage of the
damages caused.
It is unportant to remember
that awareness is not publicity.
Information concerning events
that hurt the cit>' provides the
community with an under-
standing, one that guarantees
students and community mem-
bers who read this story will
keep a close eye on the park
now they are aware of the sort
of activit>' taking place there.
Also, sources who provide
information for possible print-
ing do not dictate the paper's
content. The Southern Accent
will continue to print the best
news possible without bias and
without fear of losing sources.

The average citizen has a

rower idea of why it e.'dsts. Most
people, given the chance, would
dispose of this instination, which
proves that people distrust what
they don't understand. The
founders of this country estab-
lished the Electoral College as a
compromise bet\veen election by
Congress and direct election.

look at an election map of coun-
ties, you will see exactly how the
Electoral College forces candi-
dates to appeal to a wide geo-
graphic range of voters. Even in
typical liberal states, California
and New York, Bush won the
majority of counties, except for
metropolitan areas. The Electoral
College helps rural America bal-

and social power of urban

a mob and a republic is that one
encourages deliberation and judg-
. Direct elections do no such
thing. If the Electoral College is
undemocratic, then federalism,
the Senate, and the procedure for
constitutional amendments are
also undemocratic. Furthermore,
the Electoral College simplifies
elections. In a close election, such centers. Abolishing the Electoral

was a last resort to try ti

World War II was a last resort to protect

Alright, I admit it. I planned to write an
article about President Bush's tax code and
what it would mean to us as fijture (and
somewhat present) taxpayers. But just as I
was about to send this article to press, I
saw a headline from an online news source.
Now I know this rant isn't going to be
exacdyone of a political nature, but it does
have legal implications diat I'll point out at
the end. But anyway, the headline read like
this: "11-year old girl suspended for doing
'dangerous' cart-
wheels at school."
I could not
believe my eyes.
Apparently, young
Deirdre Faegre has
been suspended
from school for a
week because she
did hand stands and
cartwheels during
lunch. Of course,
administrators at
the school stated
diat diey were con-
cerned for die "safety of their students".
And I totally agree. In fact, I don't think the
school administrators have gone far
enough in making sure their students are
safe. I believe that school should suspend
anyone who uses a pencU. Pencils can be
incredibly sharp and dangerous to student
safety. Baseballs and basketballs also need
to go, because of die blunt brauma associat-
ed with "missing die catch" syndrome. But
diey are right - none of diose are as dan-
gerous as the cartwheel! Oh sweet motiier
of pearl, is diere nowhere that our children
can be safe from the menace of adolescent
gymnastics?
But thafs not tlie real issue here, is it?
Tlie school adminisfrators aren't really the
bad guys; tliey shouldn't be tlie ones hung
out to dry. In fact, they're the biggest vic-
tims in all tills! You know why? The answer
can be summed up in three words.
People are stupid. There. That's it. I
know that may come across as incredibly
and terribly cynical, but it's
true. The schoolisn't
against the natural
tendencies of young
ris to do cart-
wheels - they're
;cared of getting
their pants sued
offbyangiy, irre-
sponsible parents.
Apparentiy lawsuits
have become the
savior of the irre-
sponsible these
days. Anyone that
falls victim to hard-
ship - or even chooses to fall to temptation
- can blame die source of their demise
without having to take any of the blame
themselves.
And American lawyers eat it up. They
serve and defend the self-deprecating
habits of America's mindless, irresponsible
masses. How far have we fallen? When the
core members of our legal system stand up
for die reprehensible behavior of our lazy
society, you know something is wrong widi
our country. What will it take to make it
right?
3 Christmas decorations support mission
Melissa Turner
Collegedale resident Paulette
Goodman is disabled, suffering
from an affliction that affects
her spinal column so that she
cannot sit or stand for long peri-
ods of time. Goodman cannot
attend church because of her
disability. And she certainly
cannot visit the mission fields in
Haiti, which she has a special
place in her heart for, But she
does not let her disability stop
her from serving the Lord in His
mission field.
Goodman had been praying
for the Lord to give her a mis-
sion when she read an article
entitled "Barbie Goes to Haiti,"
in the July 2001 issue of
Southern Tidings. She knew the
mission story provided an
answer to her prayer. The article
tells the story of a woman
named Dale Kyber and her
involvement with Christian
Flights International, an inter-
denominational mission in
Ranquitte, Haiti.
The group travels to Haiti
every two or three months to
work on building projects, but
the mission site is maintained by
Haitian nationals, according to
Goddman, "Dale fell in love with
Ihr |)I;hi' ;ind the people, in spite
'>\ ihi' IiimI and how poor they
Will', ilomlmnn said. During
KylKTs .smmd trip tn Haiti, .she
was visiting with the ladies and
they found out she crocheted
The women asked Kyber to
teach them how to crochet
"She did teach them how to
crochet, and it turns out thev
were very good learners and she
was a good teacher," Goodman
Kyber taught the women how
to crochet angel and snowflake
ornaments. Then she started
bringing the ornaments back to
the United States to sell and
then returned all of the proceeds
to each of the women who
worked on crafting the orna-
ments. "Dale keeps track of who
does what and the money goes
back to the specific ladies,"
Goodman said. "In a lot of cases,
[the money] means better food
for their children and for them-
selves."
Goodman said she will proba-
bly never be able to join the team
in traveling to Haiti, but reading
about this mission warmed her
heart and she finally felt she had
found a mission to get involved
from her home by facilitating the
sales. "I read about it three years
ago, and I called up Dale and
said, 'Do you need help selling?'"
Goodman said. "Chances are HI
never be able to make it to Haiti,
but I can at least do what I can to
help."
Goodman is the only repre-
sentative of this mission in the
Collegedale area. She sells cro-
cheted angels and snowflakes
from her home. She has been
trying to develop contacts with
area churches in order to
enlarge the market. "There are
more possibOities than I've had
the energy for," Goodman said.
"So I'm glad that anyone who is
interested and wants to help out
does."
The angel ornaments cost $3
and the snowflakes cost $1. All of
the proceeds are returned to the
Haitian women who made
them. For more information
about this mission or the crafts
for sale, Paulette Goodman can

Remember Biblical trials
Jason Vanderlaan
Are you facing a tough deci-
sion? Do you need help in the
trial you're enduring now? I'm
sure we could all use some guid-
ance to help ns make it tlirough
some pari of our Ufe right now.
Wliile I could direct you to many
places in the Bible witli advice
about different ai'eas of life, I just
want to give you the example of
Moses and what he learned from
God.
Moses was about to leave
Mount Sinai and lead the
Israelites to the Promised Land.
As you can imagine, this was
quite a daunting task. Before he
started tliis joumev, however, he
wanted to ask God some Uiings.
"Moses said to the Lord
...■You have said, 'I know you by
name and you have found favor
with Me.' If You are pleased mUi
me, teach me Your waj^s so I may
know You and continue lo find
favor TOth You." (E.xodus
33:12,13). The arst thing we
need to remember when facing a
trial is that God knows us by
name and He loves us. Knowing
tliis, we can find strength in His
love and as we do tills. He will be
able to teach us His ways.
Witliout God's wisdom, any situ-
ation can he overwhelming, but
with God's wisdom, all tilings
are possible.
The second thing Moses
requests is God's presence.
"Tlien Moses said to Him, 'If
Your Presence does not go with
us, do not send us up from here.'
... And the Lord said to Moses, 'I
will do the very tiling you have
asked, because I am pleased wUi
you and 1 know you by name,"
(E.\odus 33115, 17). When facing
a trial, it is foolish of us to go for-
ward wiUiout God. Moses basi-
cally said. "I'm not going any-
where unless You come ivith
me. That should be our attitude
as well. The awesome tliim; is
tliat God ivill gran, our request
and go with us, not only in trials
but m all things.
Lastly, Moses says, "Now
show me Your glory," (Exodus
33:18). What a request! At ftst it
almost seems too bold, but God
grants this request as well!
Imagme the possibihBes if we,
too, would request God to show
us His glory m our trials and in
our daily lives. Too often, when
trials hit we only pray for God to
help us get through them.
Instead, we should be praying
for God to show us His glory
tlirough the situation. When we
do, we will be blown away by His
incredible love, power, mercy
and faithfuhiess.
So ne.xt tune you are faced
wth a seenungly insurmount-
able problem, or if you're just
ooking for some help with daily
1*. remember the three thmgs
that Moses learned from God- 1
He loves you and will teach you
His ways, 2. He wll go with you
to face all situations, and 3 If
you ask. He will show you His
glory as weU. Oh, and when vou
do this, be prepared to 'be
blessed beyond your ivUdest
dreams!
God trusts us
with earth
If someone entrusted you
with the original Van Gogh
painting "Starry Night" and
asked you to take care of it
until they came back, would
you take special care of it? Or
would you take that responsi-
bility for granted and trash it?
I think we'd all agree we'd
take special care of it.
However, an even greater
treasure has been placed into
our hands and we are trashing
it. If Van Gogh's "Starry
Night" is a priceless treasure,
how much more so is the cre-
ation God has entrusted us
with?
In Genesis 2:15, that's
exactly what God does. He
entrusts the Earth to us to
take care of. "The Lord God
took the man and put him in
the Garden of Eden to work it
and take care of it." (NIV) He
asks us to take care of it, not
exploit it. He has made us
caretakers of it.
I believe that from the
beginning, God wanted us to
remember our roots and
remember we are connected
to the other living beings that
roam the earth. Granted, we
are unique in the fact that God
has made us in His image,
which is a very special bless-
ing and should not be taken
for granted.
But let's look at this verse
in Genesis 2:7: "The Lord God
formed man from the dust of
the ground and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life,
and the man became a living
being." We were formed from
the dust of the ground, taken
from the earth He created <:
just like He forms us in il
womb of our mothers, 21
human race was formed fro J
the womb ofthe Earth. So inl
way, when Native AmerieansI
call It Mother Earth," thev
are right. ^
God designed the Earth to
provide what we need to sui.l
Vive. In the beginning, thati
included fruits, vegetables,!
and clean water. After thel
flood. He allowed us to hmtl
animals, but only for survival!
How are we connectajl
though? Let's look at Genesijl
2:ig: "Now the Lord Godl
formed out of the ground iU
the beasts ofthe field andthil
birds of the air." The animalil
were formed from the dusttj|
the ground as well, so we
came from the same piace.1
we treat nature and the a
mals as if they were h(
merely for our use.
We feel we can do whateral
we please to God's creatici!i|
but we forget that v
to be caretakers. I think GfM
connected us all, formiogiij
and the animals from t
earth for us to remember oi
roots and not to take theai
mals or the Earth for g
God calls us to rememberth
He wants us to protect theuJ
God could have just spokeaul
into existence, but He didn'(.|
Another thing w
remember is that after G
finished creation, He s
was good. In Genesis i:3ij
says: "God saw all that He br
made, and it was ve.
good...." God said it was goo
who are we to argue?

well, including a new cast of
characters, like Erick Dampier,
and a rookie logging good min-
utes in Devin Harris. Don't for-
get that the}' lost Steve Nash to
PhoenLx over the summer as
well.
Staying out west, Denver has
decided to put everything on
auto-pilot, sporting a 2-5
record, even after bringing in
K-Mart to help up front with
LeBron Version 2.0, also
known as Carmelo Anthony.
Utah is also impressing, with
Carlos Boozer and Mehmet
Okur added to the sohd mix of
Giricek, Arroyo, and Kirilenko,
making tliem winners not only
on the court, but in an intense
game of scrabble with tliose
last names. Of course, there's
Team Kobe out in L.A and as
expected, he's putting up solid
numbers, but their record
proves a mediocre 4-4.
Over in the Eastern
Conference, you have Miami
with a stellar record of 5-2.
even with the big guy aching
due to a hamstring. Of course,
none of that matters when yoii
have Dwyane Wade on your
team, constantly using oppo-
nents like rental cars on the
floor. Steve Francis has done
much of the same for the
Magic, and get this: there's
been a Grant Hill sighting! Ves,
Hill is trying to return for about
the zillionth time, and he's only
averaging 19 points, 6
rebounds, and 2 steals a game.
Don't sleep on these teams
either: the Cavaliers, Pacers,
Pistons, and Sixers.
As for me? Give me the
Pacers versus the Spurs in the
finals in June. Remember, you
heard it here first.
A perfect end
The Buccaneers capped off a
perfect 10-0 season by dis-
membering the Bombers in a
32-6 route to capture the title
of men's flag football champs.
The Bucs jumped out to a 21-0
lead at the half. They held the
Bombers to a six point second
half to coast to solid victory.
"We definitely had good chem-
istry for our team," said Bucs
wide receiver Donnie Miller.
"We had each piece of the puz-
zle."

MVP's beat G-Unit, 25-20
The MVPs won 25-20 and
25-21 against G-Unit Thursday
night.
Although the teams were
fairly evenly matched, the
MVPs seemed to have better
inter-team communication
that might have given them tlie
edge. The MVPs' Matt Hamstra
provided a constant barrage of
on-court encouragement, par-
ticularly when his team needed
to turn the game around or be
more focused.
The game was veiy dynamic,
with lots of sacrificing of bodies
on the gym floor for the sake of
the game, which always pleases
the spectators. As far as I am
concerned, G-Units' Brandon
Palmer ought to be the poster
boy for beatific sportsmanship.
He never got riled up and pre-
served an attitude of the purest
enjoyment of the game
throughout.
Dr. Keith Snyder from the
biology department played
very solidly for the MVPs.
Mark Grabiner and Brandon
Yap played particularly finely
for G-Unit, too. Some of
Hamstra's spikes reduced me
to whimpering on the sidelines
and imagining the carnage
should he place them just a
ft-action closer to me.
But the entire game made
for very good entertainment,
with no egregious sportsman-
ship violations.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1926
Volume 60, Issue 11
Students illegally
iaffic software
Oma
Southern Adventist University stu-
, are illegally seUing Microsoft soft-
at a popular online Web site.
j Within the last two months,
Hforraation Services has received two
Sis from customers who have illegally
bought the Microsoft Windows XP pro
edition CD off eBay from students at
Southern. One Detroit customer saw
Southern's name on a CD copy and con-
tacted Information Services, only to
find out his purchase was illegal.
Students buy the CD for $12 from the
Campus Shop and sell it on eBay for
more than 5-10 times the original price.
Mike McClung, assistant director for
workstation support, does not think
this risk is worth it even though stu-
dents are making quite a profit .
"I understand the temptation when
jmi buy something for $12 and sell it
^~ iver $100, but when you're looking
iousands in fines, that $100 doesn't
good," McClung said.
The campus has a one-year agree-
ment with Microsoft which allows stu-
dents to use Microsoft software.
&ecutive Director of Information
^ems Henry Hicks said the agree-
O^t is only legal for enrolled students
^graduates of Southern. If a student
Khdraws from the university they no
ffiger have the legal right to use the
■Shvare, and should uninstall the pro-
giam.
"They can use it while they are a stu-
J®t [or] if [they] graduate from
Smithem, but if [they] just leave it's
tel," Hicks said.

The campus glitters with holiday

But Southern's holiday spirit

From collecting hats and gloves for

"I think it's a fun way to make chil-
dren's Christmas brighter," said Erica
Baker, a freshman allied health-pre
nutrition major.
In Talge Hall, residents are encour-
aged to participate in a drive to collect
personal care items, like toothbrushes,
toothpaste, and deodorant for the
Samaritan Center.
The personal care drive is great
because it's different," said Jonnie
Owen, senior accounting major and
student dean. "People need the stuff,
but they don't get assistance for it. And
it's not like donating an old sweater;
you can't give used deodorant."
On the other side of campus,
Thatcher residents will be busy as well,

student who passed away after a tragic
car accident," said Kassy Krause, dean
of women. "The house has a special
place in our hearts now."
Jodie Amos believes that giving
should be a way of life.
"If we don't reach out, we can
become very selfish and close minded,
with a tiny view of the world," said
Amos, an English major. "We forget
what life is like for others. But it's

In recent years Collegedale
has experienced growth m its
community, largely because of
its school system. This gro^vth,
however, has increased school
enrollment and decreased
classroom space, leading the
Greater Collegedale School
System (GCSS) with a $10 mil-
lion plan to expand.
The GCSS includes A.W.
Spalding Elementary School
and Collegedale Academy.
Spalding will receive a second
floor to accommodate the
mcrease in students from 384
students in 2000, to 423 stu-
dents in 2004-2005.
Collegedale Academy is cur-
rently constructing a Science &
Technology building.
Construction began in August
2004 and should finish in May
2005, in time for the new
school year.
The new Science &
Technology building will pro-
vide more lab facilities and will
serve as dual purpose class-
rooms. Not only will this
address the needs for the
increased science curriculum,
but also allow teachers the
space they need without having
to switch classrooms after
every class.
"It'll save a lot of setup tune,
and It's gomg to make [class-
rooms] better in terms of safety
features,- said Matt Nafie
director of development at
Collegedale Academy.
In the midst of all these
bu. dmg plans, the Greater
Collegedale School Systems
mission IS still to provide a cur
nculum that «.ill help students
STOW into productive Christian
citizens.
"I don't think it's about
bricks and mortar. They don't
make a school, it's the pro-
grams taught that'll he a cata-
lyst for good things now, and
great things to come," said
Nafie.
As construction of the new
Science & Technology building
continues throughout the year,
students can't help but notice
what's going on.
■^e see it everyday, no wait,
we hear it everyday," said
Brandon Abernathy,
Collegedale Academy student.
The need for expansion of
the technology program for
Collegedale Academy was first
seen in 1994 and has since
grown to include science and
technology. The technology m
the new building iviU advance
the school system into the 2L,
century, providing additioM
skills ranging from medifj
coding to computer repair.^
also provides hands on prat*]
cal training in the fonn^
internships.
The cost for the new Sda
& Technology building L
roughly $2.8 million, wbij
mcludes $400,000 in reno
tions to the current CoDeged
Academy building, and na
up roughly less than a qu""

church and community mem-
bers attend the meetings,
Vhich are kept confidential and
open to newcomers, Eldridge
said. Few Southern students
have attended, but Eldridge
hopes awareness of the pro-
gram will reach those who need
it.
About 10 percent of
Southern students need help
with addictions, ranging from
alcohol and cigarettes to video
games, said Midge Dunzweiler,
assistant director of counseling
and testing. Though they aren't
punished for asking faculty
members for help, students
otherwise caught using alcohol,
drugs, or cigarettes may be sus-
pended, Dunzweiler said.
Heather Demaree, senior
psychology major said students
need the Regeneration pro-
gram.
"We all struggle with addic-
tions of some kind," Demaree
said "We might think we're
perfect but this campus needs
help."
The new floor of Talge
Hall's new wing is scheduled to
open in about three to four
weeks, said Dean Carl
Patterson. Patterson also said
the third floor will probably
open sometime in early to
mid-Januar\'.
The first two floors are
already completed. The rooms
themselves are 50 percent big-
ger than the standard rooms in
the older wings.
The residents of the A, B,
and C wings and anyone who is.
not a freshman have first dibs
on the rooms as they become
available. And once they have
all been given their choice. The
other students get to choose
from what is left. After the new
wing is full, the remaining stu-
dents will be given the options
to move to any room that is
available, according to
Patterson.
■^e're trying to get a room

Patterson said that they
were just about ready to lay the
carpet on the second floor.
According to Dean Jeff
Erhard, there is still a lot of
work to do on the upper levels.
most importantly installing
the bathrooms on the third
floor. The new wing will house
the new weight room.
"We had hoped to open a
new floor by the end of this
semester, but it doesn't look
like we will," said Dean
Patterson.

Amnesty International starts at Southern
Amnesty International is a
human rights program located
on many college campuses
around the world, and it has
finally made its way to Southern,
"We as students can support
and show that over 2 million
people worldwide support peo-
ple whose human rights have
been denied," said April Evans,
founder of Southern's Amnesty
chapter and a five year member
of Amnesty Intemafional.
"Unless someone stands up for
these people, they will have no
Amnesty International is a
grass-roots movement started
by students in the 60s. They are
a network of human rights work-
ers that work together to ensure
people are not denied their basic
human rights, according to their
website www.amnesty.org.
Southern's chapter looks at
pressing issues around the world
where there is little time to
respond and act. They recentiy
wrote letters on behalf of a
woman in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo who was
raped and beaten, reported it to
officials and was given no help.
Amnesty wrote politicians and
lobbyists on behalf of this
"I want it [Amnesty
International] to grow, we want
our community at Southern to
become more connected with
international issues," said
Jessica Crandall, a junior non-
profit administration and devel-
opment major.
Southern is not the only col-
lege in the area that is involved
with Amnesty International,
Chattanooga State has an active
chapter. They are launching a
campaign called Take Back the
Nights, which protests prostitu-
tion in Chattanooga.
Amnesty International meets
every Monday at 7 p.m. in Brock
Hall room 112,
"This kind of outreach is why
we are here, to help people in
need," said Crandall.
"Once the spark is started it is
hard to stop," said Evens. "We
are here to help."

while Hispanic Seventh-day
Adventist church membership
increased by 157 percent
between 1989-1999, according
to Avance, a study of
Hispanics in the Adventist
church.
Some students think that
Southern isn't doing enough
to reach those of a Latino
background.
"I feel [Southern] could
work a little harder," said
Ruben Covarrubias, president
of the Latin American club.
Keeping up ivith national
population statistics is an
objective some feel Southern
needs to focus on.
"What worked 15 years ago
won't work anymore.. .we need
new approaches," said Carlos
Parra, chair of modem lan-
guage department.
With such a heavy Hispanic
presence in the Southern
Union, only one of Southern's
recruiters speaks Spanish. A
Spanish-speaking recruiter
could communicate better to
those who feel more comfort-
able speaking their native lan-
S"*se-
"I don't know if we have the
budget for that right now,"
said Gordon Bietz, university
president.
Avance also found that
"Hispanic Adventists were
largely untouched by the mar-
keting efforts of Adventist col-
leges and universities," and
within the Southern Union,
only 54 percent of Hispanic
youth knew Southern
Adventist University existed.
Since most hispanic youth
attend public high school,
exposing students to Southern
is a challenge.
"[Recruiters] should go to
the churches because that is
where the majority of [youth]
are, "said Ketty Bonilla, junior

And that's what Southern
plans to do. Recruitment is
strategically locating areas
that don't have academies
nearby in order to reach the
non-academy students, said
Jason Dunkel, assistant direc-
tor of admissions.
But simple exposure isn't
the only reason why Latinos
don't come to Southern.
"The big rumor is that it's
too expensive so [students]
don't even bother,"
Covarrubias said.
According to the Avance

percent felt Adventist schools
were simply too expensive."

^ Hawk
crash
BRUCEVILLE-EDDY, Texa3 (APJ
An Army helicopter carry-
ing a brigadier general and
six other soldiers crashed and
burned in the fog Monday
after hitting a web of support
wires on a TV transmission
tower whose warning hghts
had been knocked out in a
storm last week, officials
said. Everyone aboard was
killed.
The UH-60 Black Hawk,
bound for the Red River
Army Depot in Texarkana,
went down in a field about 30
miles northeast of Fort Hood.
The fog was so thick when
emergency crews arrived that
they could not see more than
halfway up the tower, author-
ities said.
'i"he helicopter was headed
to check Qiit equipment being
readied for use in Iraq, said
Lt. Col. Jonathan
Withinglon, spokesman for
the Fort Hood-based 4th
Infantry Division. The names
of the victims, all from Fort
Hood, were not immediately
released by the military.
A military official at the
home of Brig. Gen. Charles B.
Allen told The Associated
Press that Allen was among
those killed. In his 27-year
career, Allen, an assistant
division commander for the
4th Infantry Division, was
stationed at several U.S. and
overseas military posts and
also worked at the Pentagon.

Canadians protest Bush visit
OTfAWA, Canada (AP)
President Bush and
Canadian Prime Minister Paul
Martin sought on Tuesday to
mend fences after four years of
strained relations between the
two neighbors aggravated by
the U.S.-led war on Iraq.
"I made some decisions that
some in Canada obviously did-
n't agree \viUi," Bush said in the
Canadian capital, witli Martin
at his side at a joint news con-
ference. "I'm the kind of fellow
who does what I thmk is right."
For his part, Martin Said,
There are obviously disagree-
ments on questions of foreign
policy," as well as differences
on trade, including such issues
as softwood lumber.
Bush's visit, his first trip out-
side the country since the elec-
tion, was viewed as an initial

Dutch hospital euthanizes babies
AMSTERDAM NmiERLAjiPS (AP)
A hospital in the Netherlands -the first nation to permit
euthanasia— recently proposed guidelines for mercy killings of
terminalK ill newborns, and then made a startling revelation:
It has already begun carrying out such procedures, which
include administering a lethal dose of sedatives. The
announcement by the Groningen Academic Hospital came
amid a growing discussion in Holland on whether to legalize
euthanasia on people incapable of deciding for themselves
whether they want to end their lives— a prospect viewed with
horror by euthanasia opponents and as a natural evolution by
advocates

Ukraine's parliament brought

with a no-confidence motion
Wednesday in a show of the
opposition's strength in the

Yanukovych and his opposi-

who both claim the presidency
after a Nov. 21 run-off vote, sat
down for talks Wednesday in the
presence of European mediators
and outgoing President Leonid
Kuchma.
Earlier, Kuchma called for an
entirely new election to be held.
A new vote would bring in more
candidates.
Yanukovych was declared the
winner of the run-off by the elec-
tion commission, but
Yushchenko has insisted he won
and was robbed of victory by
widespread fraud. Hundreds of
thousands of opposition sup-
porters have set up tent camps
on Kiev's main avenue and
blockaded official buildings, par-
alyzing the capital for 10 days.

Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, whose n;
synonymous with color-coded terror alerts and tutorials about
how to prepare for possible attack, resigned Tuesday. Ridge

Tuesday morning but indicated he will continue to serve until
Feb. 1. "I will always be grateful for his call to service," Ridge
Yanukovych asked to the
Supreme Court to declare part of

justices said.
It was not clear if the court
would agree to hear the appeal.
The court is already hearing
an appeal by Yushchenko
against alleged violations in pro-
Yanukovych eastern Ukraine.
Yushchenko's appeal has
been a key part of the opposition
strategy for reversing the run-

awaiting a court ruling.

that the court would tlien

■H, WeCTBANK{AP)
Associates of Manvan Barghouti said Wednesday the jailed
Palestinian uprising leader has decided to run for president,
reversing an earlier decision and throwing Palestinian politics
into disarray. Barghouti's candidacy would undermine the
prospects of interim Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, the
presidential candidate of the ruling Fatah movement. Fatah
officials have warned that a bid by Barghouti, who is a leading
Fatah member and more popular than the staid Abbas, could
split the movement.

Preparations for the Jan. 30 national election are on track

say I am happy, but I am satisfied with the process," Carlos
Valenzuela told The Associated Press in an interview. "People
tend to have these very unrealistic expectations about elec-
tions. ... They are not a panacea, but they seem to me at least
at this moment the one way to go that would help the transi-
tional process" in Iraq.

ality- A few mches of snow fell
during the early evening, and by
suppertime, the electricity
began to flicker on and off.
Eventually, it went off and
stayed off. Immediately, most of
the students and many of the
teachers bundled up, went out-
side, and began playing in the
snow. They threw snowballs,
slid around on the ice and tack-
led each other in the snow.
All over campus, I heard
shrieks and giggles, shouts and
laughter. Even the very quiet,
reserved students were running
around like children, throwing
snowballs at friends and
strangers alike. As I stood in the
midst of the chaos, occasionally
being hit by a snowball myself, I
thought, "This is just how
Southern students would act."
I've been in Russia for two
months now. When I first got
here, I noticed cultural diffe
ences all the time. The thing that
made me most uncomfortable
was that I smiled constantly,
and I knew that made me stand
out. Now, I don't feel seLf-con-
scious at all. As I've gotten to
know my roommate and other
friends here, the cultural differ-
ences have slowly faded into the
background. Instead of seeing
Russians all around me, now
I'm seeing friends and students,
people I actually have quite a lot
in common with.
I think the same thing could
be true with people we meet m
our own culture. Maybe there
are some people we don't under-
stand; we think they are very
different from us. But maybe if
we laid our prejudices aside and
took the time to get to know
those people, we would start to
see that we're not so different,
after all. Like the Russians and
me, we probably have more m
common than we think.

Went to Florida.. .got a FEMA check
Brian Lauritzen
Just so we're clear: peace is
patriotic. That's a statement. I
intended it to be a statement
(notice the period), but in my col-
umn last week the editors decided
to make my statement into a ques-
tion. "Peace is patriotic?" As if I
wasn't convinced. I am convinced
and I wish this country's leaders
were convinced. Peace IS patriotic.
Having said that, there are other
issues about which I am less con-
vinced. For example, I'm not con-
vinced that the Federal Emergency
Sun-Sentinel, 10,786 Miami-Dade
County residents have collected
some $28 million in FEMA disaster
relief funds related to Hurricane
Frances. FEMA checks to these res-
idents helped to replace thousands

I spent Thanksgiving break at
my grandmother's house in Port St.
Lucie, Florida, town that was rav-
aged by hurricanes Frances and
Jeanne. My grandmother lives in a
retirement community where the
homes are...weU...not the sturdiest
structures in town. Her sunroom
and carport were blown away. But
she was pretty lucky considering
her next door neighbor's home was
completely demolished and about
half of the homes in her subdivision
lost their roofs.
Even though it's been more than
two months since the last hurricane
hit Florida, residents are still strug-
gling to rebuild their Uves. More
than 25,000 homes were complete-
ly destroyed and more than
135,000 will have temporary roof-
ing (tarps, etc.) until shingles that
meet Florida building codes
become available. Some say that
won't happen until after the New
Year.
I was surprised to hear how

God's Christmas gift to us Let's get fired up!
Okay, okay, I admit it-I
never should have done it.
Even though I was a mere fledg-
ling in the business of marriage,
a novice husband, 1 should have
known better than to buy my
wife's Christmas gift at the gro-
cery store. But I did it, so I may ent. She swooped it up and
as well confess (notwithstand-

"Confession is good for the soul,
but bad for the reputation").

ent. She swooped it up and As I think about the gift I
shook it a bit, but after she gave that first Christmas, I
noticed it was rather heavy, she notice a remarkable contrast
concluded that it must be a with another gift, the greatest
rather substantial and valuable gift that has ever been given,
ejft. "God so loved the world,"
"Oh, Greg, you shouldn't declares the most famous verse
in the Bible, "that He gave His
only Son." God did not stint on
that gift. He did not try to get by
idays and festive occasions
more than me, and was antici-
pating this special Christmas
together, our first as a married
As Christmas approached, I
made a whopper of a mistake
while buying a few items
wife occasionally picked up the
gift, trying to figure out what it
was. I started to feel uncomfort-
able, realizing that she might
not see the humor in this like I
had expected. But what could I
do? I didn't have the nerve to
inform her that her splendid
grocery store. As] was browsing husband had wrapped
through the section of meat lousy cans of food (or is it her
substitutes, I noticed that lousy husband had wrapped

recall the exact price, but it
seemed like a bargain, Spotting
this tremendous deal inspired
me with an ingenious idea.
"Alia!" I thought. "HI buy a

Ine

:e, I was trapped.
with the least expense possible,
He did not offer us something
He had bought at a bargain
basement price. Rather, He
gave everything that He had!
Speaking of this gift, Ellen
White states, "All heaven has
been poured out in one rich
gift— for when God gave His
Son, He gave the choicest gift of
heaven" (Selected Messages,
vol. 1, p. 324). In light of this
gift, what else can we do but
Christmas Eve arrived. The respond with Paul, "Thanks be
gifts were opened, including to God for His indescribable
one rather heavy package, that gift!" (2 Cor. 9:15). What else
she didn't find particularly can we do but turn our lives
ftinny. She appreciated it as over to One who has given so
much as she would new golf much for us?
It is time to be responsible
It's a natural reaction for
humans to shift the blame
onto someone else. It all start-
ed in the Garden of Eden,
when God asked Adam about
the fruit he had just eaten and
Adam said it was because of
Eve that he had eaten the for-
bidden fruit. Adam reacted as
though Eve had forced the
fnnt down his gullet, with an
evil laugh and a glint in her
eye! Didn't Adam have a
choice in the matter? When it
came time for Eve to answer
God, she pointed al the crafty
serpent who smooth-talked
her into doing something she
just couldn't resist. Eve react-
ed as though the serpent bad
mesmerized her and lulled her
into greedily scoffing down the
forbidden fruit. But didn't Eve
have a choice in the matter?
And don't we have a choice
in whether we let ourselves
tiptoe too closely around the
transition point bctiveen safe-
ty and sin? Then why do we so
easily shift our blame onto
someone else's shoulders?
During the recent presiden-
tial elections I received some
interesting forwarded emails.
One such message entitled
"Why is our world crumbling
apart?''caught my attention.
The message referred to an
Early Show interview in which
Billy Graham's daughter,
Anne, claimed that among the
reasons for the 9/11 terrorist
attack is the problem that our
nation has taken God and
prayer out of our schools. She
said, "I believe God is deeply
saddened by the 9/11 attacks,
just as we are, but for years
we've been telling God to get
out of our schools, to gel out of
our government and to get out
of our lives."
It is not the fault of the gov-
ernment, the public school
system, Holl)ivood or even
God that our society and our
world are the way they are
today. Everj' day we each have
choices to make about the way
we are going to live our lives.
Are we going to seek God and
have prayerand devotions?-er
are we going to do our own
thing during the week and try
to catch up on the weekends?
We need to first worry
about our own spiritual condi-
tions before we go pointing
fingers at the rest of the world.
If in our homes and as individ-
uals we are truly seeking God
and are allowing Him to
change our lives, then more
positive changes will be exhib-
ited in the grander scheme of
things.
Ms. Graham is right, in one
sense, that we've been telling
God to get out of our lives. We
like holding onto our Christian
name, while at the same time
holdmg hands ivith the worid
We can choose to follow Jesus
in the path of life or we can
choose to follow our oivn path
through the muck of sin and
sadness. There is no middle
path or compromise-we have
to make a decision. And in the
end, It IS our choice as to what
the outcome of our lives ^vill
be-nobody is forcing us not
even God.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am
tired. I am worn out and frus-
trated by arguments in the
church centering on two direc-
tions that people want to go.
One direction is to make our
church relevant to our modem
day society that focuses on
entertaining people and mak-
ing the way easy and hght. The
second direction is to stay
mired in lukewarm tradition.
The founders of our church
didn't make the message rele-
vant or give in to the tradition
of the day. More importantly,
Jesus didn't either. He didn't
change His message even
though it sometimes went
against the tradition the
Pharisees taught and honored.
Nor did He change His mes-
sage to be easy and lightheart-
ed. Just ask the rich young
ruler who kept all the com-
mandments, but couldn't sell
his possessions to follow Jesus.
Jesus kept His message true
and preached without worrying
about upsetting the status quo,
in fact Jesus wanted to upset
the status quo, because when
we become so intent on keep-
mg tradition, we become satis-
fied with where we are, and we
should never be satisfied with
where we are. This worid is not
our home!
There's a lot of questions as
to why the youth aren't staying
in the church. I believe (having
grown up in the church myself)
that the answer is not because
church is not relevant, but that
young people don't see religion
being lived. Let me explain.
When we hear one thing at
church on Sabbath, and then
see people living differently
during the week, we think,
what's the point? When we
church members talking
about so and so, or we
have worship in iurhom*;;;
youth leaders giving off-col
remarks, what is the poio,
What we need is not Christia,
rock! We need people to Z
fired up about God! That u
where the difference is! If pj^
pie are fired up about God
then no more talking about M
and so, no more not havin,
worship, and no more off-cofer
jokes. If we see the God He
bemg lived, it inspires us.
We have to get beyond tlie
idea of staying where we are. In
Revelation, Jesus says that it is
better to be hot or cold,
because if you are lukewami
He will spew you from His
mouth. To me, that says that
we've got to get hot! If we sUy
where we are, just keepijg
everyone satisfied, not causing
anyone to get offended or step-
ping on anyone's toes, we're
just keeping the status quo. We
have to start firing people up!
When the Word is preached
with abandon, God will show
up. God just needs men and
who are fired up enough about
Him that they don't care what
people think because they are
going to give His message the
way He wants it given. I'm tired
of sermons where it seems the
pastor isn't excited about what
he is preaching. If you are giv-
ing the Word of God, how can
you not be excited? When I feel
God in my soul, I can't help but |
get fired up! It is imperative
that we don't just have knowl-
edge of God in our minds,
where we know what is right
But we also need to feel emo-
tion for God, where we want to
do what's right. The balans
between knowing what is right,
and havmg the deep desire ot |
wanting to do it, will make ns
get fired up.

Isideouts bury Diggin For You

The Southern Accent 9
I BRVCE Martin
I STAFF W«n™
""^j^i^o undefeated teams
squared off; unfortunately for
one of those teams, only one
would remain unbeaten. The
Sideouts scored early and often,
using some key plays from
Jason Castro and James Miller
lo lead their team to victory
over Diggin For You, 21-13.
Diggin For You just could not
seem to pull it together, as they
had players stumbhng across
the court, unsure of their next
move. Starring for the losing
side was Justin McNeilus, who
had a few loyal fans cheering
his team on. Stephanie Jaeger
and Jennifer Cherne, two
diehard fans, cheered so much
that they could barely speak the
next day. Jaeger especially was
pleased with McNeilus' efforts,
even going so far as to say. "He
is the best volleyball player at
Southern!" Nobody was quite
sure if, in fact, she had checked
out the final score or not. Andre
Castlebuono and Banner
Downs also played with great
passion as well. Unfortunately,
it was too much of Sideout to
ICoutans get bopped
On Thursday, Nov. i8, Bop It
I defeated the Coutans, 13-12.
I Things were shaky right from
I the start for the Coutans. They
i only five players show up,
I while Bop It has tiieir fuU squad
of 7 (only 6 play on the court at
Bop It showed great commu-
nication tliroughout the game
after a slow start, helping their
teammates when the ball was
up for grabs. The same could
not be said for the Coutans, who
allowed several balls to drop for
points, courtesy of server
Jennifer Cherne for Bop It.
I Emily Wilkens also played
I extremely well for Bop It, even
dding a spike in the second
,ame.
Towards the end of the sec-
ond game however, the ref
made a questionable call on a
set, and awarded the point to
the Coutans. Cherne voiced her
displeasure with the ref after-
wards. When asked if the verbal
altercation threw her and her
team off of their game (the
Coutans scored several points in
a row after the incident), Cherne
said, Tou are fabricating this
story to be more than it really
is." The ref was not available for
comment
Clarrissa Lmcoln, an injured
player for the Coutans, after
being asked if she would have
helped out her team had she
been playing, said "Even with a
broken finger." In a rare show of
good sportsmanship after the
game, both teams played the
final set for fun, a great way to
cap off a great night of volley-
ball.

UCLA vs. Humdingers
Katie Sheffield
There were powerful players
on both sides of the UCLA-
Humdingers match. UCLA won
the first game 25-20.
The highlight of the first
game was Jeff Dickerson doing
the splits to retrieve an errant
ball, which I think can be seen
as symbolic of Team UCLA's
intensely passionate spirit. On
the other side, the
Humdingers' Jason
Horinouchi impressed with his
effortless, almost languid sets.
The Humdingers won the sec-
ond game 25-21, effectively
tying the match, with Leif
Ramsey dominating tlie court
for the rest of the game. He had
some amazingly tricky-looking
spikes and his jump serves
were nothing to sneeze at.
For the opposing team, Cint
SouSou was a bastion of defen-
sive excellence with his very
tidy digs and blocks. UCLA
would have been in some trou-
ble without him. Having forced
a tliird game, Humdingers won
the matchup 16-14. However,
there were a couple times that
more than one enthusiastic
Humdinger appeared to really
want to hit the ball at the same
time, resulting in a few crashes.
UCLA seemed to feed off each
other's energy levels. They are
an enthusiastic team that will
not hesitate to perform little
dances if tilings are going well.
The Humdingers appear to
confine themselves to the
obligatory individual grunts.

Student
Association is encouraging
students to donate a small
amount to help in world
efforts for tsunami victims in
Southeast Asia.
SA President Melvin Taylor
said the association realized
something needed to be done
to assist in the relief efforts so
they thought students could
combine their resources and
make a big impact.
"We would like for you to
donate at least $i to the
cause," Taylor said in an e-
mail sent out to the student
body.
The tsunami that hit
Southeast Asia Dec. 25 killed
more than 150,000 and left
thousands of others homeless.
Countries from all over the
world have given billions to
aid the victims.
Students believe everyone
on Southern's campus can
donate $1 each.
"Everyone has there own
financial situations and $1 is
something reasonable that
everyone can contribute," said
Pierre Monice, freshman the-
ology major.
SA is hoping students will
donate about $2,000. In turn,
the Student Senate is willing to
match up to $2,000.
The matching money will

come from profits from last
semester's care package proj-
ect and additional money from
previous projects.
Students have until Jan. 14
to make donations to the
Student Services office in the
Student Center. If the office is
closed, they can give their
donations to Taylor. The dona-
tions collected will go to The
Samaritan Center who will
work with the Adventist
Development and Relief
Agency (ADRA) and their
relief efforts.
The cash donations will be
given to ADRA, who will pro-
vide food, shelter and water
rafions for the victims.
"One of ADRA's specialties
is equipping a country that has
been affected by disaster to
recover," said Kimberly
Schlangen, with the Samaritan
Center.
Schlangen wants people to
continue supporting the relief
efforts since it will take a long
time to rebuild the lives and
homes of the victims.

Village Market bakery closed Monday
The Village Market Bakery
shut down its ovens for the
final time Monday.
The Village Market will now
sell baked items from other
bakeries that don't use preser-
vatives like Great Harvest
Bread Co. and Niedlov's
Breadworks, according to an
e-mail from Dale Bidwell, vice
president for financial admin-
istration.
"The bakery will no longer
be making bread, but buying
bread from bakeries that still
provide features for theh cus-
tomers," Bidwell said.
The change at the market,
which was decided by the uni-
versity, came as a surprise to
many employees.
"We knew nothing about
it," said former Village Market
baker Harold Johnson.
The bakery closed because
they were losing money,
resulting in three employees
losing their jobs, Bidwell said.
"The cost of goods to make
bread and the cost of labor
was too high in comparison to
what [we] receive for the sale
of bread," he said.
Some students, like
Kenwyn Sealy, a senior theol-
ogy major and avid village
market bread consumer, think
the bakery closing makes it
harder for healthy shoppers.
"It reduces the number of
choices of health-i
individuals," Sealy said.
But he also thinks others
may benefit as a result of the
closing.
"I think it provides an
opportunity for entrepreneurs
in the area to fill a void that
has been created," Sealy said.
Some of the new vendors
the Village Market will be
using are Old Mill Bread Co.,
located in Knoxville; Great
Harvest Bread Co., located in
Chattanooga: and Niedlov's
Breadworks, which specializes
in European-style breads, also
located in Chattanooga.
The former employees are
receiving assistance in finding
work and are eligible to apply
for any other openings on
campus, Bidwell said.
"We are trying to help them
find a job, but they will have to
take the initiative to investi-
gate those unfilled positions,"
he said.
Former baker Johnson said
he went looking for a job at
human resources, but there
was only one job and the
human resources director was

"Once the media coverage
dies down six months from
now Uie people are still going
to need help," SchJangen said.
Taylor said even though we
cannot go to Southeast Asia,
our donations are a way of
helping and ministering from a
distance.
Schlangen agrees.
"By supporting ADRA we
give them the opportunity to

she said.
If anyone would like to con-

monetary donations to the
front desk of the Samaritan
Center from lO a.m. to 4 p.m.,
Monday - Thursday, or mail
them to the Samaritan Center,
9231 Lee Highway, Ooltewah
Tenn., 37363. Checks should
be marked for tsunami relief.

The gun: Tasers are
handheld de'vices that
shoot two probes
attached to wires that
can extend up to 21
feet.
The shock: Tasers
emit a peak of 50,000
volts of electricity. The
electrical current can
penetrate clothing 2
inches thick.
How it works: The
electrical current over-
whelms the central
nervous system for five
seconds, incapacitating
the target.
The power: The X26
model uses two lithi-
um batteries. The
older M26 takes eight
AA high-output alka-
line batteries or eight
AA rechargeable nickel

ies.
The history: The

Bio-physics optical tweezers trap bacteria
MIT, Stanford, Harvard,
Berkeley, Johns Hopkins and
Cornell have something in com-
mon with Southern, and it's not
that they're all located in the
United States.
The biology and physics
department have constructed a
pair of optical tweezers, putting
Southern in the relatively exclu-
sive realm of undergraduate insti-
tutions to have such a device, and
in line with several Ivy League
schools.
"This is fairly cutting-edge
technology," said Dr. Chris
Hansen, physics professor.
"Optical tweezers are being used
for hi-tech research."
Students and facult>' have used
the tweezers to trap latex beads
500 times smaller than a 0.05mm
pencil lead with a tighUy-focused
laser beam. Their goal is to even-
tually trap bacteria.
The medical world is using the
same technology in breakthrough
research. In 2003, Berkeley Lab
biophysicist Carlos Bustamante
and his research group used opti-
cal tweezers to measure the force a
bacteriophage, a virus that infects
bacteria, required to inject itself
into a cell. From this, the
researchers discovered the way
certain viruses inject their DNA in
the cells of other organisms, mov-
ing closer to prevention.
Dr. Ann Foster, a biology pro-
fessor at Southern, hopes to use
the optical tweezers to discover
how sticky bacteria are, helping
learn about infections, especially,
witii knee or hip replacements.
The stickiness can be calculated by
the difficulty of pulling the bacte-
ria off another object with die
tweezers.
"Even though the parts are dis-
infected, there is still a chance of
infection," Hansen said. "Knowing
how strongly bacteria hold onto
objects would allow the surface of
the implant to be washed to pre-
vent it from sticking."
The idea of building optical
tweezers first came to Hansen 10
years ago after hearing Dr. Steven
Chu speak on optical trapping.
Chu later received the Nobel Prize
p bacteria.
for his research. Although
intrigued, Hansen shelved the
idea. In 2001, a Harvard under-
graduate presented a paper on
building simple optical tweezers,
and Hansen's idea resurfaced.
Combining his interest with
Foster's study of bacteria, the proj-
ect received funding. The tweezers
have been completed with the help
of several biophysics majors.

Ask Big Debbie: Lab coat woes
Dear Big Debbie,
What do you wear on lab
day when you want to look
cute for that special guy, but
you don't want to ruin your
clothes? 1 don't have much to
say to him either so I can't
rely on my personaiity.
"Concerned Cosmetically
Dear Concerned Cosmetically,
So.. .there's a special exper-
imentalist in lab, is there?
How rare. Let's see...how to
make a man fall in love with
you on an entirely cosmetic
level. Tough question.
Before you go to too much
effort, make sure that he
could potentially value you as
an individual. After all, let's
not be throwing pearls before
swine. I am hoping that this
wfill prompt some conversa-
tion on your part. Call me a
dreamer, but I like to think
that personality plays a chief
role in romance. If not, I
don't think he's worth your
time.
But, if it's you who wants to
do the eye-catching and
impressing then go right
ahead. If it were me, I would
show up in a classic white t-
shirt and jeans. How could
you go wrong? Southern guys
like this informal style, so I
am told. You can buy a suit-
able size in the little boys'
department for super cheap,
then you don't have to worry
about spilling lab juices and
funk all over your clothes and
still look cute while you wear
goggles.
Or if the blue jeans chaff,
the messy-yet attractive,
devil-may-care look has been
known to win over a few noble
and steadfast hearts. And
maybe, just maybe, this will
do the trick to catch that lab
gu/s eye!
Decades of devotion
In the late 8o's, a small group
started in church basements and
pubs in Australia. More than a
decade later, over five million
albums have been sold, 19 songs
became #1 radio hits, four
Grammy nominations have been
presented along with numerous
otlier awards, and .mld-niit arena';
worldwide have rcsnlu-d. Willi i:j
,allj(jm^^lp datf, ;iikI iiilllii)iis nf
global fans, few band.s will li.-ive
made such an impacl and bad as
much success in this world as
Newsboys.
'Hiorf ;ire some bands that,
uhrii ili,v rcle;i.sc an album, you
ilnii I [liiiilii if it will be Rood, you
jusi liiiy ii. My latest purchase,
Newslioy-s' album "Devotion," has
already proven my tlieory correct.
A follow-up worship album to
"Adoration," "Devotion" has
already had buRC .success.
So. what dots this album
sound like'i* Do 1 even need to
describe it? We've all heard
Newsboys, whether on Clirislian
or even on mainstream radio sta-
tions. But in case you've been in n
cave for the past decade, please
allow me to enlighten you. In past
albums, tliey
hymns to
rock songs, they were
impossible to map. In "Devotion"
however. Newsboys have gone
witli a humble approach. Keeping
it true to a worship-filled experi-
ence, the softer side of Newsboys
is shown. Keep in mind that I
detest bland music While this is
one of their softer albums, much
like "Adoration," it couldn't be
further from bland.
I doubt I will see another band
with so many amazing songs that
have been so consistent with their
spiritual focus. As I've already
mentioned, this album is aimed
riglu at God, as are their musical
careers and lives tlius far. Jf you
want an album tliat hits worship
right between the eyes, this is it.

The 98th Congress passed
Public Law 98-144 amending
title 5 United States code to
make the birthday of Martin
Luther King, Jr., a legal pub-
lic holiday.
"This year marks the first
observance of the birthday of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
as a public holiday. It is a
time for rejoicing and
reflecting," said President
Ronald Reagan in his procla-
mation in January 1986.
If this is the proclamation
from the President of the
United States and a law
passed by Congress, why is
the memory of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. being cele-
brated by cleaning the
Biology Trail, or by doing
general maintenance to the
Collegedale Church or better
yet cleaning the carpet and
upholsteiy of the Ooltewah
Seventh-day Adventist
Church? How do these activ-
ities have anything to do
with ser\ing with purpose or
rejoicing and reflecting the
memory of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.? Why has
this public holiday been
diminished by Southern

Letter to the Editor: Does majority rule?
Tim Morse's article "Can
59 million people he wrong?"
raises an interesting subject:
that of majority rule. The pre-
supposed response to the
rhetorical question is no, 59
million people can't be
wrong.
While that question and its
answer weren't the core of
Morse's article, the subject is
worth looking at. America is
built around the principle
that the interests of the
majority of Americans will
trump the narrow and possi-
bly self-seeking interests of
the minority groups. In other
words, majority rule will
bring the greatest good for
the greatest number, or at
least procure the interests of
the majority of Americans.
But consider the following
instances in which majorities
agreed: Adolf Hitler was
elected to power by a majori-
ty before he declared himself
dictator Americans, includ-
ing very strict Christians,
overwhelmingly supported
slavery at one point in U.S.
history. The vast majority of
Evangelical, conservative
Christians agree that Sunday
worship replaced Saturday
worship when Jesus was res-
urrected.
The point is (and most any-
body would agree), a majori-
ty, united in belief, neither
makes a belief correct nor in
the best interest of all
involved.
head to head
Touched by a TSA angel
Brian Laurttzen
For Seventh-day
Adventists with their very
unique beliefs among
Evangelicals, this is a particu-
larly valid point. Scripture is
very clear in pointing out that
first, the way to destruction
(the wrong way) is broad and
the majority of people will go
that route (as opposed to the
very narrow way to life), and
secondly, that there will come
many deceivers who will con-
vince nearly everyone, even
God's own, if possible.
Furthermore, one of
Adventism's leading voices,
Ellen White, proclaimed
loudly that the majority of
professed Christians will
unite against God's true fol-
lowers; the huge majority
would be dead wrong (see
"The Great Controversy").
Give Bush a mandate to
lead; he got the votes for it.
Concede that most Americans
want a conservative govern-
ment, that's fine. But do not
commit the fallacy of confus-
ing what the majority wants
with what is necessarily best
for America or for
Christianity. Popular support
(even from Christians) does
not automatically constitute
the best way.
It was not in a vacuum that
we came up with phrases like
"might does not equal right,"
or "what's popular is, flot
always right, and vice versa."
Jared Wright
I used to love to fly. I was fas-
cinated with the airplanes and
all of the funny-looking vehicles
that drove around servicing
them. That was before the hassle
known as the Transportation
Security Administration was
formed.
The hassle was created in
November 2001 in response to
airport security concerns raised
by the Sept. 11 hijackings. The
TSA imposed strict guidelines
for air travelers requiring photo
IDs to be shown every seven sec-
onds, shoes to be shed, and dan-
gerous weapons (like fingernail
clippers) to be
fiscated.
0 V e
Christmas break
I flew out of seven different air-
ports. As the random TSA guy in
Chicago was running his hands
up and down my legs I had to ask
myself. "Am I safer now because
I'm being fondled?"
In Sacramento I had to drag
my checked bags over to the TSA
counter myself. They used to use
conveyor belts to get bags from
point A to point B, Am I safer
now because I do it myself?
In Las Vegas one of my bags
apparently had a suspicious look
on its face and had to be opened.
(I only found out about that after
I got to my destination and
found a Uttle note telling me
someone had been in my bag.)
Am I safer now because som^
one pawed through my socks
and underwear?
The answer to these questions
is a resounding, "No!" The prob-
lem is that we are a reactive soci-
ety. Since an airport security
breakdown caused the tragedy
on Sept. 11, we rushed to imple-
ment ridiculous airport security
reforms rather than addressing
the real security issues plaguing
For example, our food supply
is at risk in part because we
import so much of it. Just last
month, outgoing Secretary of
Health and Human Services,
Tommy Thompson, said, "For
the life of me, I
cannot under-
stand why the ter-
rorists have
not attacked our
food supply because it is
> easy to do."
Unfortunately,
Thompson didn't have the sup-
port of President Bush and no
longer has a job,
Whether or not you believe
John Kerry's campaign claim
that 95% of containers enter our
ports uninspected, port security
is a bigger issue than airport
security. Not only could an
attack at a major U.S. port con-
taminate our food supply it
could cripple our entire econo-
my. Economic collapse is one of
the goals of alQaeda.
President Bush should apply
his policy of preemption that he
uses for wars and go to work on
our ports. I'd much rather board
a plane next to a militant cUpper
of fingernails than continue to
do nothing about securing our
ports against a real threat.

Thailand being the hardest hit-
as well as SomaUa on the east
coast of Africa. As of Sunday,
Jan. 9, 2005, 140,313 people
have been reported dead in the
wake of the disaster, according
to CNN.com. The death toll will
continue to rise as the relief
work goes on. Meanwhile, many
people from across the globe are
involved with the relief effort by
either going to the sites to lend a
helping hand or simply by send-
mg money for supplies.
Students at Southern
Adventist University were
encouraged by the student asso-
ciation to give a small amount to
the collection to aid the rehef
effort. "We would like for [the
students] to donate at least $1 to
the cause. If everyone donates
at least $1, we can gather up to
$2,000 to help provide food,
medicine and water to those in
need," Melvin Taylor, student
association president, wrote m
an e-mail to the student body.
The last day for the student
association collection was on
Wednesday, Jan. 12.
Other local donations are
being collected through the

Big Bailers advance to 3-0 Breds bake Fresh
Jermaine Andrades
Spobts^Editor ^ . —
Just who are these Big
p illers? Are they some under-
md organization known
donning the latest fash-
I, ;, lOf course not, or It
uM'jKin't be in the sports sec-
ti,,n) I'm talking about the
i]\:i Bailers women's hasket-
j,,i. team of Southern
Advc-ntist University, right
nnu the hottest topic in
kmale sports on campus!
Tuesday night's action
between Big Bailers and Lady
i r,s!i drew in a crowd count
(,t iniighly 30+ fans.
Coming off of a two-game
v.i.nning streak, the 2-0 Big
Bailers were the pick in
tonight's match-up versus the
1-1 Lady Fresh. Their sizzling
ro>ti=r of All-Stars dominated
boili ends of the court, mak-
ing the final 34-18, Bailers.
Kelly Mittan, the Big
Bailers shooting guard, and
arguably the league's most
deadly three-point shooter
finished the night with 12
points, nine of which came
from the arc. Her early three-
point shot put the first points
on the board.
''We really played together
as a team. We made a lot of
great passes and had good
teamwork," said Mittan, team
captam of the Big Bailers.
However, the MVP award
of tonight's game went to the
Big Bailers' center Alicia
Lascelles, who finished with a
sensational 20 points. Her
aggressive rebounding and
ball control reeked havoc all
night on Lady Fresh.
"She [Lascelles] had a lot of
second chance opportunities
with her boxing out, we need
to limit those. I'd rather Alicia
beat us down low, than Kelly
beating us up top with the
three though! We just need to
make some adjustments," said
Pierre Monice, Lady Fresh's
team manager.
Lady Fresh's backcourt suf-
focated under the 2-3 zone
defense of the Big Bailers.
Their best option was to swing
the ball down low to their cen-
ter Jaela Carter, who led her
team's point total with 6. Late
in the second half. Carter
delivered an incredible stand-
ing block on Mittan, turning
the ball over in Fresh's pos-
session. Fresh's power for-
ward Brenda Seifert, also con-
tributed with energetic
defense under the boards. She
finished the night with 3
points.
The Big Bailers will be
looking to go 4-0 in their next
game against Antibiotic,
Thursday at 8 p.m. Lady
Fresh will take on Lady Ligers
at 9 p.m. Take a study break
and bring a friend along.
Don't miss it!
The debut game between
Team Thoroughbreds and
Team Fresh on January 5 was
a dassic display of Basketball
101 The teacher of this lesson,
tiie Thoroughbreds, taught
1-resh how to box out, set
screens, and piay tight
defense.
We played good defense.
We played together as a team,
nobody was the star," said
John Johnson, captain of the
Thoroughbreds.
The first half began with
Team Fresh scoring the first
four points of the game. But
the Breds quickly answered
back with an 8-0 run less than
two minutes later to burden
the spirits of Team Fresh.
Their spirits were rekindled
however after a monstrous
baseline block by center Eliud
Sicard on Thoroughbreds cen-
ter Matt Hamstra. Midway
through the first half, Breds'
shooting guard David
Johnson drove hard to the
basket, scored the bucket,
sending Fresh's Pierre Monice
sliding across the floor.
Fresh's gas tank was nearly
depleted, until Chris Bennett
deposited the final two points
of the half, making the score
18-8, Breds.
A steal by Jason Forbes
ated an easy lay-up for
Bennett to start the second
half. With 13:12 left on the
clock, Fresh's starting center
Lance Butler blocked Corey
Waters, which sent the crowd
into an uproar. But Waters
would later avenge this by rip-
ping the ball from Butler,
scoring the following basket,
in addition to drawing a foul
and making the free throw.
Jaris Gonzalez answered
back late in the half with a big
three from the comer, ending
a near sL\-minute drought for
Team Fresh, making the score
15-28.
Near the end of the game,
Gonzalez committed an inten-
tional foul that sent
Thoroughbred's small forward
Royce Brown to the line to
shoot two. A late 8-point rally
by Team Fresh wouldn't be
enough to bring them back as
the final seconds wore down.
"Defense. More defense
uld'v
the
for
us," said Pierre Monice, Team
Fresh's coach.
In addition to Team Fresh's
lack of team play, they turned
the ball over 12 times com-
pared to Thoroughbred's four.
"We didn't play team ball.
We should have slowed the
ball down and [taken] our
time. We beat ourselves," said
Ali Legrand of Team Fresh.
Beavers exhaust All-Day's defenses to win 52-25
Monday night's men's bas-
l^etball action between All-Day
and the Beavers was unbeliev-
able.
"We played good defense;
that wins ball games. We
weren't going tor their fakes,
we kept our hands straight up
on their shooters, and we took
advantage of fast break
points," said the Beavers' point
ward and team captain Matt
Campbell.
From the opening tip off,
™ momentum swung in the
"Mvers' favor ivith their
power forward Casey Leno
sconng the first two points of
™ game with a lay-up. All-
^»ys shooting guard Chad
^ntrell quickly answered
"ackivith a three-pointer from
™ lop of the arc, giving his
am their first points. But
°"<^'' 6 minutes of play, the
°«vers turned up the pres-
,„? ™"= tenacious defense
°1 slashing drives to the lane,
°P«">g up a 6-0 run. All-Day
was forced to call an early time
out ivith 11:45 left on the clock,
with the score 14-6 Beavers.
"Basically, we didn't play
team ball. We had a game plan,
and the players didn't follow it.
Hopefully, we can gather our-
selves together and regroup
for the next game," said All-
Day's small fonvard and team
captain Kenneth Victor.
The offense of All-Day com-
pletely broke down late in the
first half, allowing the spark of
another Beaver run, 8-0. A last
minute effort by All Day's
point guard David Grant, who
blocked the shot of Beaver's
point guard Matt Campbell,
was overshadowed by the half-
time score, 22-12.
"I think we played a good
game, we're gelling together.
It's the first game of the sea-
son, everyone is trying to get
the'kinks out," said Cantrell.
The second half opened
with the Beavers' small for-
ward Bryce Fisher displaying a
near no-look lay-up, giving the
Beavers an early spurt of ener-
gy. Four minutes into the half
All-Day fell victim to another
severe scoring drought for the
next seven minutes makmj;
only two baskets. Now broken
and tired, All-Day's Victor
called a time out.
"We didn't stop penetra-
tions to the lane, we didn't box
out, on offense we didn't mo\ 1
around, but mainly our lack "I
defense was the main thing.
Victor said.
A glimmer of hope for All
Day seemed to appear as their
small forward Grant Williams
began a six-point heat streak
in less than 3 minutes. But the
fire alarm was quickly pulled
by Campbell's three-point
finale which sealed the game,
making the final score 52-25,
Beavers.
Three of the Beaver's start-
ing line finished in double fig-
ures: Campbell 15 Oeading all
scores) Rob Quigley 10, and
Leno 10. All-Day's top scores
were Williams 9. and Cantrell
Eric MlchaeUs-Woodard, team Beaver, goes for

With walls painted bright
purple, lime green and
orange, the Rainbow Room
deserves its name. Child-size
tables and chairs are stacked
in the middle, and along the
walls Southern students
attack with rollers and paint-
brushes.
The students were part of a
large group volunteering at
the Creative Diseoverv
Museum in Chattanooga as
part of Southern's Community
Service Day Monday, Jan. 17.
"I went on a field trip to this
museum when I was 10," said
Jodi Davis, a sophomore nurs-
ing major. "This is a great
place to give back, and I want-
ed to help make memories for
other children."
Some students admitted
they were indulging them-
selves as well as serving.
"Every time I drive by this
place, I have an urge to come
in, but it costs," said Jonathan
Carlson, religious education
major. "I guess I had selfish
motives."
Students participated in the
service day at many organiza-
tions ranging from Adventa
Hospice and Children's Home
Chambliss Shelter to St.
Barnabas Nursing Home.
Ingi Hogganvik, a psycholo-
gy major, worked at AAA
Women's Services, a pregnan-
cy resource center.
"I've cleaned for centers
like this before," she said.
"Women need somewhere to
go, and this place seems cozy,
comfy and friendly."
At Reflection Riding, a
drive-through nature reserve,
several volunteers labored to
pull up weeds called privet
invading the trails.
"If we did this [service] all
the time we could make a seri-
ous impact," said Ryan
Litchfield, a sophomore psy-
chology major. "But we're
supposed to help suffering
people. It's important that we
choose our priorities when we
University President Bietz
also said he believes service
makes a difference. In fact, he
wants to see more of it.
"I think it's a great thing,
and I want to see it built into
the curriculum," he said.
"Students could work with an
agency in town, in the voca-
tion of their choice."
Judy Clippinger, a sopho-
more English major, has a dif-
ferent perspective.

cQ-^ Bakery closes amidst controversy

Opinion

Megan Brauner
Staff Writer .
The Village Market Bakery
closed Monday, Jan. lo, with
management citing financial
losses as the cause and
employees saying bad man-
agement.
"There was no way to break
even with such low sale vol-
ume," said Dale Bidwell, sen-
ior vice president of financial
administration. "We've been
studying the situation for
some time, and the bakery was
losing money for the Village
Market." .
Instead of paying fiiU-time
wages to three employees and
financing their own bakery,
the market is purchasing
bread from other companies
like Great Harvest Bread Co
and Niedlov's Breadworks.
The prices will be comparable
to the previously sold bakery
goods, said Bidwell.
Jon Ledbetter, former head
baker, said he and his co-
workers tried to make the bak-
ery profitable.
"Management would get on
us for changing prices,"
Udbetter said. "They said we
had no authority. Harold
(Johnson, former bakery
supervisor) and I know what
is best for the bakery."
During the five years he was
employed at the market,
Ledbetter kept books and did
inventory for the bakery.
"We've reduced $6,000 or
$7,000 of waste the bakery
had," said Ledbetter. "They
used to have a lot of waste. We
reduced it to almost nothing."
Bidwell could not verify the
former employee's claims.
"Mr. Ledbetter is not an
accountant or a business per-
son," Bidwell said. "It was a
losing battle before Mr.
Ledbetter came, and it was a
losing battle while he
employed."
Johnson, former bakery
supervisor, believes it is
impossible to prove the bakery
was a loss. People might visit
the bakery and buy only one
thing, but it could lead them
to buy other store products,
profiting the whole market,
Johnson said.
Bidwell does not foresee
students having negative reac-
tions to the bakery closing.
"Students don't really care
about buying bread," Bidwell

"It's better when we get
options instead of require-
ments. Service is best out of
an open heart," Clippinger
said.
However, she agrees days
of service should happen
more often. Instead of once a
year, Clippinger proposes
once a semester, saying a day
off gives students a better
chance to fit it in their sched-

Renovations of Lynn Wood
Hall forced occupants to relo-
cate, making their jobs more of
a hassle.
Groups like Destiny Drama
and Southern's Advancement
and Development department
moved out of Lynn Wood at the
beginning of the school year,
because the remodeling creat-
ed an unfit environment for
work and extracurricular activ-
ities.
"We don't have a place to
call home," said Sonya Reaves,
d member of Destiny Drama.
"We have to change locations
all the time, and the different
places we have practiced don'i
have as good of lighting or
stages."
On Feb. 19, 2004, a fire
started in the attic, causing the
sprinkler system to go off and
resulting in extensive damage
to the chapel. The fire has
delayed the opening for a year.
Without the chapel, Destiny
Drama has had to find other
places to practice. They cur-
rently practice in Miller Hall,
Thatcher Chapel, Pierson
Chapel, or the student center.

to the rig"ht of the l.D. card desk
in Wright Hall. Although the
room is smaller than their pre-
vious working space in Lynn
Wood, Carrie Garlick, associate
director of alumni relations,
feels safe.
"Safety was an issue with the
construction going on around
us," GarUcksaid.
However, working in Wright
Hall has both limitations and
inconveniences. A lot of the
files are still in Lyim Wood, and
special trips are made to get
them, Garlick said. Boxes litter
the floor because there is no
storage space. But the depart-
ment is closer to the rest of
Southern's administration than
before, making it easy to inter-
act with them.
Lynn Wood is scheduled to
be completed by the beginning
of next school year said Helen
Durichek, associate vice pres-
ident of financial administra-
tion.

King Jr. Day.
Some students like the idea
and are happy they are able to
"I'm really glad they have a
community service day because
it is important to reach out,"
said Linnea Haugen, freshman
nursing major. "It doesn't make
a difference whether it is
Martin Luther King Jr. Day or
not, it's cool they're doing it at
all."
Others disagree and think
both were combined to prevent
students from having Martin
Luther King Jr. Day and com-
munity service day off from
classes.
"I felt like the school put the
two together to kuock off the
extra day we would have had,"
said Emily Moore, a sophomore
nursing major.
This year was the first time
community semce day was
held on Martin Luther King Jr.
Day since the universitv started
honoring the holiday in 2000.
Senior Vice President for
Academic Administration Steve
Pawluk said the Board of
Trustees voted to combine the
hvo days after recommenda-
tions from a number of com-
mittees. Pawluk added that the
university wanted to make
Martin Luther King Jr. Day an
important event, not a day
where students stay home and
sleep in.
"Our intent was to give the
day meaning," Pawluk said.
King taught about serving
others and encouraged
Americans to come together to
strengthen communities, allevi-
ate poverty, and acknowledge
dignity and respect for all
human beings, according to the
Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Like this corporation.
Southern wanted to make
Martin Luther King Jr. Day "a
day on, not a day off."
Students like Ryan Litchfield
behcve people should partici-
pate regardless of the motive
behind the combined days.
"Maybe they are killing two
birds with one stone, but I think
the spirit of Martin Luther King
Jr. Day is serving the communi-
ty and this is a good way to
honor him," said Litchfield, a
freshman psychology major.
Journalism professor Denise
Childs agrees, but thinks stu-
dents should be educated about
King so they understand why
they are honoring him by par-
ticipating in community serv-
ice.
"We are not teaching stu-
dents the message of Martin
Luther King so that it means
something to them when we
[the university] commemorate
the day," Childs said.
Though both community
service day and Martin Luther
King Jr. Day are important,
Pawluk thinks the university
has not quite accomplished its
goal with the type of service
done Monday.
Pawluk doesn't think the
service was wrong, it simply
wasn't enough. He sees Martin
Luther King Jr. Day as more
than cleaning parks or the biol-
ogy trail, it's a day of social jus-
tice where we can reach out to
those in need.
"If we are going to honor
King's memory we need to lie
doing his work," Pawluk said.

Male nurses increase
According to the National
Sample Survey of Registered
Nurses the percentage of male
RNs rose from 4.9 percent to 5.4
percent between 1996 and 2000.
The School of Nursing, at
Southern has also undergone
some changes. In the fall of 2003
there were 57 male student nurs-
es. In 2004, there were 70 male
students.
"There has been an increase in
the male nurses partly because of
the job market, since there is a
shortage of nurses right now, and
also because it's a stepping stone
to medicme school for some of
Ihem," said Phil Hunt, dean of the
school of nursing.
Sophomore nursing major
Matthew Uers agrees.
"I chose to be a nurse because I
wanted to help people, and
because 111 have a job guaranteed
when I graduate."
There are a lot of job opportu-
nities in the nursing field because
in the mid-1990s there was a lot of
f^structure in health care in the
hospitals, and nurses were laid off,
and many went into different pro-
fessions or stayed at home, due to
[the fact] that the enrollment
dropped in many universities,"
Hunt said
"I chose to be in the nursing
field because of the money, and I
like helping people," said fresh-
man nursing major Luis Vela,
..According tc the National
Sample Survey of Registered
Nurses, schools value a diverse
student body that encompasses all
cultures and genders; consequent-
ly, many work hard to dismantle
stereotypes that view nursing as a
female profession. Many doctors
are women, and a grooving num-
ber of nurses are men, but the
acceptance of male nurses has not
filtered into mainstream society
"I believe that male nurses in
the field is a good thing. I feel that
there should be diversity in ever>'
field, and the more diverse the
world is, the better and more open
it is to new things," said Mena
Slocumb, a junior nursing major.

Students to film in Ireland
Sarah Postler
Staff Whiteh
This summer will consist
of more than just beach tow-
els and Kool-Aid for some tal-
ented film majors in the
School of Visual Art & Design.
Pre-production is under-
way for "The Secret of the
Cave," a film to be produced
this summer in Ireland by
film students and faculty.
"Given the opportunity,
students can do amazing
things," said Zach Gray,
instructor in the School of
Visual Art & Design and
director of the film.
"This project will be a col-
laboration between both pro-
fessionals and students,
which will create a valuable
learning environment."
The fill
book "The Secret of the Cave"
by Arthur S. Maxwell, about
the adventures of a teenage
boy who solves a mystery in a
small Irish fishing village.
All who wish to be involved
in the film must submit a
resume and a demo of their
work. Official hiring will take
place next semester.
"It will be like applying to
work for a real job in the film
industry and not everyone
will make the cut," said Nick
Livanos, junior film major.
Last August, scouts went to
Ireland to check out filming
locations.
With pre-production
underway, locations have
been cast, and conceptual
drawings and storyboards of
selected scenes have been
done, said David George,
assistant professor in the
school of Visual Art & Design
and producer for the film.
George also said a rough
budget for the film has been
established, and filming
rights for the book have been
negotiated.
The film will be shot in the
town of Doogort, on Achill
Island in Ireland, and the
crew will be there about 4-6
weeks while filming.
"The goal is to produce a
commercially-viable
Christian film in collabora-
tion with the university, stu-
dents and professionals," said
George.
The film is expected to be
about 45-90 minutes in
length. Post-production is
slated for completion in early
2006.

The Lynn Wood

its grand opening in mid-

The museum has had

The museum has nao visi

Tennessee area. Luck said.
"Ninety-nine percent of the
visitors say that they were
v£ry, very impressed and th?t.
they want to come back,"
Luck said.
Luck added that the tours
are self-guided. The tour
guides answer questions the
visitors might have, along
with providing security to
ensure none of the exhibits
get broken into, and to ensure
there are no children running
around unsupervised. They
also give guided tours on
request for school groups and
any other group that may
come to visit the museum.
Luck said they get just as
many people from the com-
munity as they do Adveritists
Some days they have a lot of
visitors and some days they
■ don't have anyone. Right now
of
nity
the numbe

"I think that more advertis-
ing needs to be done by the
pastors in the area SDA
churches. Then I think that
we'll start getting more visi-
tors," Luck said.
Students like senior eng-
lish major Heidi Tompkins
enjoy visiting the museum.

impressed. I had fun trying to
find Esther in that model,"
Tompkins said, referring to

Rice receives nod of approval by Senate panel
Washihotoh (AP)
The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee voted
Wednesday to confirm
Condoleezza Rice as secretary
of state after two days of hear-
ings in which she faced strenu-
ous Democratic assaults on the
Bush administration's han-
dling of Iraq.
Pending approval by the full
Senate, Rice would be the first
black woman to hold the job,
She was confirmed by a 16-2
vote with Democrats John
Kerry of Massachusetts and
Barbara Boxer of California
voting no.
Other Democrats, including
ranking member Joseph Biden
of Delaware, had said they
were reluctantly voting to ele-
vate Rice to the nation's top
diplomatic job. A vote by the
full Senate was expected by
Thursday.
Rice surmounted two days
of sometimes contentious
questioning on the adminis-
tration's prosecution of the
At her hearing Wednesday,
Rice acknowledged "there
were some bad decisions" by
the administration on Iraq, as
Democrats pressed her on
whether the reasons for going
to war were misleading.
Rice insisted that Saddam
Hussein was a dictator who
refused to account for
weapons of mass destruction.
And it was impossible to
change the nature of a terror
threat in the Middle East with
him leading Iraq, she testified.
Boxer would not be shaken
off, even after Rice acknowl-
edged to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that
"there were some bad deci-
sions" taken by the Bush
administration on Iraq.
She accused Rice of "an
unwillingness to give
Americans the full story
because selling the war was so
important to Dr. Rice. That
was her Job."
Biden challenged Rice to
acknowledge administration
mistakes on Iraq and said he
would vote for her confirma-
tion, but only with "some frus-
tration and reservation."
Rice had steadfastly refused
Tuesday to say when U.S.
forces might be withdrawn
ft-om Iraq. And on Wednesday,
Biden cited various rationales

Rice said, "It is really hard
to find common ground with a

ports terror groups and is
undercutting U.S. peace
efforts in the Middle East.
More than 1,365 members
of the U.S. military have died
since U.S. troops led an inva-
sion of Iraq in March 2003,
Rice has declined to esti-
mate when even some of the
150,000 U.S. troops may
return home.
"I am really reluctant to try
to put a timetable on that,
because I think the goal is to
get the mission accomplished,"
she had said Tuesday, "and
that means that the Iraqis have
to be capable of some things
before we lessen our own

Committee approval would

American steals from U.N. program
(API
An Iraqi-born American
businessman accused of skim-
ming money from the United
Nations oil-for-food program
has pleaded guilty to being an
illegal agent of Saddam
Hussein's government.
Samir A.. Vincent, 64, a nat-
uralized U.S. citizen from
Annandale, Va., is the first per-
son to be charged in the Justice
Department's investigation of
the program. He entered his
plea Tuesday in New York.
The U.N. program produced
an estimated $67 billion firom
Iraqi oil sales from 1996 to
2003 that was supposed to be
used for humanitarian needs in
Iraq.
But a CIA report by special
weapons inspector Charles
Duelfer said Saddam used the
program to generate illegal
kickbacks that totaled an addi-
tional $1.7 billion.
Vincent was among dozens
of people and companies in the
United States and elsewhere to
receive vouchers from
Saddam's government for allo-
cations of Iraqi oil as well as the
right to keep profits they made
selling or trading the oil.
Vincent received the rights to
some 9 million barrels of oil
and cash payments from
Saddam's government in return
for lobbying U.S. and U.N. offi-
cials on issues such as weaken-
ing of economic sanctions, the
admission of arms inspectors
and the oil-for-food program
itself, prosecutors said.
Vincent faces up to 28 years
in prison on charges that
include conspiracy to act as an
unregistered Iraqi agent, actu-
ally acting as such an agent, vio-
lation of Iraqi economic sanc-
tions and related violations of
U.S. tax laws. Cooperation
could reduce his sentence.

This morning I woke up
with the words to Aretha
Franklin's R-E-S-P-E-C-T
song in my head, and I have no
idea why. The last time I heard
that song was in 6th grade
watching Bill Nye the Science
Guy (who still e.xists at
Nyelabs.com). So if I have to
remember it, it's only fair you
have to also.
Franklin makes a good
point, respect is dangerously
lacking in today's society. This
may surprise you, but I'm not
going on a Bill Cosby crusade
against all of us about how we
yell at our parents and have no
respect for authority, etc.
Instead, I question the institu-
tions we're supposed to have
respect for.
The music industry has
been suing teenagers left and
right for stealing music. Is
stealing wrong? You betcha,
and I'm not going to defend it.
I found a breakdown of the
cost of a CD by the almighty
institute of music research (go
to ivww.rolUngstone.com and
search for the Wal-Mart arti-
cle) which stated that retail
and label costs for overhead
were $6.80 for a CD that costs
us $15.99. That's also not
including the $1.70 for label
profit. While I don't think
stealing is right (still wrestling
mth this issue friends) can
you see why no one has any
respect for the music Indus-

Memorial to a mistake
Brian Laurtizen
I'm trying to picture the memori-
al for the Iraq war. Last spring, the
World War II Memorial was
opened. Appropriately, there are 56
granite pillars {one for each of the
states and territories of the U.S. at
the time) representing "the unprece-
dented unity of the nation during
WWn (ww\v.Avwiimemorial.com).''
The field of 4,000 gold stars rep-
resenting the more than 400.000
Americans who died is also a fitting
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial
is the most moving war memorial
I've ever -visited, with th
name of every fallen sol
inscribed on a
black granite wall
All together, 58.245
So, what would
memorial for the Ira
war look like?
Several concepts
made my short list An empty
could represent how we sought, but
never found, weapons of mass
destruction. (This could be substi-
tuted for an empty truck representa-
tive of the mobile chemical weapons
labs that we also didn't find.)
A giant bronze oil well might look
nice on the National Mall. It proba-
bly would be a good idea to have a
statue of Vice President Cheney hug-
ging it A gas pump fountain for the
children to play in would also be a
How about a giant zero repre-
senting the number of justifiable
reasons for the war? Or an interac-
tive memorial: a sandbox in the
shape of Iraq with sticks (some
would caU them "freedom branch-
es") for people to draw pictures of
Saddam Hussein in the sand. Or
goverrunent-issued shovels to dig
your own spider hole.
How do you memorialize a mis-
take?
There's already a plaque in
Collegedale's own Veterans
Memorial Park commemorating the
100 or so soldiers that died in
Operation Iraqi Freedom. As if the
war was over or something. That's
almost laughable except for the
sobering fact that more than 1,522
soldiers (1,362 Americans) have
actually died.
Yes, I know the CoUcgedale VMP
^.aque is specifically referring to
the short period of time \s1ien the
Iraq war had a name, but
wants to tell the
soldiers who died after
that time, Thanks for your
icrifice. but the mission was
already accomplished."
Last Thursday, President
Bush finally admitted that what
he says may have consequences.
Did it take him four years as world
leader to figure that out? Isn't that
something someone should know
prior to becoming president?
Although, I'd tike to think that he's
going to watch his mouth from now
on, I'm not holding out much hope.
'in spite of all this, our troops
continue to serve. And thafs what
makes me respect them even more.
When Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld tells them to their hces
that we "go to war with die army
[we] have-not the army [we] might
want or wish to have," and they con-
tinue to serve, that's class. Maybe a
fitting memorial for the Iraq war
would be President Bush saymg,
Tm sorry."
try? We love the artists but
hate the labels. Why would we
want to obey the rules of peo-
ple who greedily gouge us?
Hey, it's about R-E-S-P-E-C-T
baby.
Switching gears, I want to
issue a challenge to several
policies here at Southern. I
quote the student handbook
on Dress (p. 50): "The follow-
ing are specifically prohibited:
tank tops tight fitting and
styles. ..miniskirts. ..jewelry
including bracelets, friendship
bands. ..earrings, rings. ..stu-
dents who wear jewelry may
be suspended and must pay a
$25 re-registration fee to be
reinstated."
Don't get me wrong, 1 love
this school, but how can I
respect a school that doesn't
enforce its own rules?
This isn't a "no spitting on
the sidewalk" law still on the
books from the 1900's. But to
selectively choose which laws
are worth enforcing and which
aren't is not going to win much
respect from the student body.
Whether you and I agree with
the rule or not doesn't matter.
You either have to enforce it or
drop it altogether if it is
indeed a high moral standard.
Until then, students will have
a hard time respecting the
school that requires ties at
vespers but doesn't enforce its
other dress rules.
Aretha Franklin sure said it
best: R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Beginning again
right
Andrew Bermudez
Almost three months ago,
American voters re-elected
President George W. Bush to
serve our country for a second
term, Despite all the com-
plaints, a majority of Americans
still believe that President Bush
is better suited to lead our
nation for the next few years
than his Democratic challenger.
Naturally, the President
views his re-election as a man-
date to continue the work he
began his first four years
in office. This reasoning
has definite validity,
the sense that 1
should seek to gov-
ern in a way that will
satisfy those who
gave him his power.
However, in his new
administration, the
President must real-
ize there have been
mistakes made in the
past four years, George Bush is a
man who stands by what he
believes, and does not quickly
give in to popular pressure -
however, he must not be afraid
to admit errors in his ways, and
to work to correct them. There
have been mistakes made in
Iraq; there is no doubt about
that. The budget deficit must be
dealt with honestly and serious-
ly. There are serious divisions m
our country that need healing.
Some people would say that
the concept of unifying is an
ability that the President does-
n't have; I don't think that is
true. After the events of Sept. 11,
we were all unified behind his
leadership- As a man who
seemed able to identify with the
individual suffering felt by those
most affected in the horrible
tragedy, he gained our respect,
our trust. Through the troubles
caused by the war in Iraq,
through the economic down-
turn, and simply through the
passage of time, our trust has
been weakened. This is where
thb President should place his
priority - in regaining the trust
of a fragmented populace.
But that will be no easy
task. It will be impos-
sible to please every-
e. The
Kennedy's
John Kerry's of
Ted
will be
impossible to satis-
fy. But to engage
the average, rea-
sonable American,
it will take an hon-
est assessment of
the current state of his adminis-
tration. It will take an open,
frank discussion of the issues at
hand and the best ways to solve
them. There's nothing wrong
with standing firmly for what
one believes, it's one of the
strengths that made Bush
appealing to a nation that is
tired of wishy-washy politicians.
He simply needs to balance that
vrtth a willingness to admit mis-
takes, and to rediscover the man
who we all admired so much: a
leader who is strong yet sensi-
tive in the face of adversity, a
leader who will work together
with all types to do whatever it
takes to make America a better
place.

Melissa Turner
RELioroM Editoh _^_^_ .
Tears come to Ann Davis' eyes
as she talks about the young men
and women she has formed a bond
with over the past year.
"I got a lovely letter from
Specialist Giacomozzi last week,"
Davis said. "She writes the loveliest
letters, and she is such a good artist
Davis mails Giacomozzi, who is
currently serving in Iraq, care
packages, sketchbooks and letters
of encouragement. Davis serves as
director of the Miiitaiy Personnel
Ministry at the McDonald Road
Seventh-day Adventist Church in
McDonald, Tenn. Each week, Davis
has a .stack of letters and packages
to send to service men and women
training here in the states or Rcrv-
ing abroad.
There are scarves in each of
those [envelopes]. I went out and
bought yam and there are some
ladies at church who [knitted] the
scarves and afghans for the service
men and women for the winter,"
Davis explains.
Since the war started in Iraq,
Davis has taken a' real inter&st in
shoving the U. S. troops her sup-
port, especially since she has a son
and a son-in-law serving in the mil-
itary.
Davis has been keeping up a
table where members can stop and
write notes of encouragement to
"I call it the Mail Matters table
because mail does matter to these
yoimg people," Davis says. "A good

Private First Class Joshua
Oliver, a member of the McDonald
Road Church, wrote back about his
experiences and what the packages
have meant to him in the midst of
hus struggles in the heart of Iraq.
"One week I will be ... out in the
hot sun in lull battle gear, the next
week I will be out in the city looking
for fights," Oliver writes. "When
they say that we are over here mak-
ing sacrifices, it doesn't necessarily
mean getting killed or hurt. It also
means being tired, being hungry,
extremely hot and just plain miser-
able fi-om all these things. Thanks
for the pictures, Little Debbie
cakes, chips. It's nice to have
snacks."
Besides the Mail Matters table,
Davis has been organizing gift bags
with comfort items such as
"Cooldannas" which are bandanas
with a cooUng agent as well as high-
quality combat boot socks. These
gift bags are presented along with a
certificate of recognition to service
men and women when they visit
the church on leave.
Another focus of the ministi>' is
providing troops who show an
interest with Christian dog tags,
available on the Web at SoS@fed-

are in bright, patriotic colors with a

Shatter the globe for God Reaching in, part I
I've been fascinated by
snow globes since 1 was too
small to safely hold one by
myself (unless it was plastic).
There's just something about
those tiny snowflakes or twin-
kling sparkles whirling
around inside a world of its
vei7 own to capture the imag-
ination.
My mom received a rather
ornate snow globe for
Christmas. It's quite large— so
large you're not really sup-
posed to pick it up and shake
it to get the sparkles to fly.
Instead you push a button on
the back that turns on a small
light and creates a little wind
to gently send the sparkles
fluttering. What really caught
my attention was the scene
presented in this. Mary,
Joseph and Jesus are on the
inside of the globe, with the
sparkles, while the wise men,
shepherd, animals, and even
an angel, are all on the outside
of the globe gazing in. To me it
looks like they desperately
wish to see Jesus, but behind
the glass wall, He is out of
their reach. "Those poor peo-
ple," I think. (Unfortunately, I
am prone to have feelings for
inanimate objects at times.)
"Why do they have to be stuck
outside?"
Is it possible that we put
Jesus in a snow globe-
unreachable to ourselves or to
others? It may seem invisible,
but it's as real as the glass wall
of the Christmas snow globe.
We say, "Okay, Jesus, you
have this part of my life,
but just stay right there. I've
got the rest of it under con-
trol."
Only when the globe is
smashed can we come face-to-
face with our Savior. We can-
not truly feel His touch or fall
in love with His heart until we
allow Him into every part of
our lives. Once we are cap- |
tured by this authentic love, '
others around us will auto-
matically get an up-close view
of God.
There is a world dying to
get into the globe. They want
to know if this thing is for
real, or if it's just another
magical world isolated from
reality. The shepherd and
wise men are waiting. It's time
to shatter the globe.
How to witness effectively
One of our duties as
Christians and followers of
Christ is to be witnesses. We all
want to be effective witnesses,
and we do our best to ensure this
happens. Witnessing is more
than simply going out and telling
otliers about Christ. It is more
than standing up in church and
giving a testimony. In order for
people to be an effective witness,
they must have Christ in tiiem.
This means Christ should be the
focus of eveiy part of their lives,
including thought and actions.
In tlie book "Christ's Way of
Reaching People" by Philip G.
Samaan, he states that "we must
saturate our minds mth Christ
'■ and what He can do, so that we
may see ourselves and „_
ness to others in the right per-
spective."
By doing this we will be able
to overcome any obstacle, but we
have to remember that Christ
should, be the center of our lives.
People should not see tiie indi-
vidual, they should see Christ.
Samaan continues to say that
allowing Christ to lead out in our
lives entails committing our-
selves to God on a daily basis.
Tliis constant conimitment will
make us efficient laborers and
soul winners for Christ.
However, we should not
become proud of our success in
witnessing that we forget \vher?
our testimonies come from.
Ellen White said "success in
doing the work of Uie Lord may
lead us to forget the Lord of the
work." In other words, we
should not get so caught up in
doing God's work that it pushes
us farther away from him. In fact
doing God's work should be a
tool to help build a closer,
stixjnger relationship with him'
It should pull us to Christ, not
push us away.
Consequently, one of the first
steps to becoming an effecti^'e
Mtiiess for God is totally conse-
crating and conunitting our lives
to him.
As Dr. Samaan wrote, "if we
are to draw others to God bv the
power of Christ's love, then w
must >ieldour lives and methods
totaUytoChristandhis method"
I have always been interest-
ed in the Vietnam War. One
summer I read more than 30
autobiographies of former sol-
diers, reading a lot about fire-
bases. When the United States
military needed to occupy an
area to protect vital villages, or
to fight a large enemy, they
would build a firebase, which
served as a location to run mis-
sions out of local areas. But to
serve its job of hosting mis-
sions, the firebase had to be
internally strong and fortified
against an enemy.
The church is like a firebase.
We have to be internally forti-
fied in order to run missions in
local areas.
We need to be built on the
rock, in our personal lives as
well as a church. But there is so
much focus on out-reach that
we need to start looking at
"inreach" as well. There are so
many missions reaching outiJ
certain aspects, but what ^

■"We made some key shots and
aved defense really well. We
caused himovers, and we made
m for our mistakes on the defen-
iv-e end," said Matt Andersen,
n and shooting guard of the
lie VandaJs.
That about sums up what took
Jace on Tuesday night's men's
asketball header between the
'andals and the Ballerz, as the
'andals defeated The Ballera, 38-
Both teams were fairly com-
posed, looking for the open man
to take the shot. However, the
first half went in the Vandals
favor as they out hustled the
Ballerz on the offensive boards,
which led to second-chance
opportunities and trips to the free
throw line.
"We had a lot of turnovers.
The refs weren't really calling
anything at all. It was frustrating;
we got frustrated and just threw
the ball away," said Tristan
Carrington, coach of the Ballerz.
Tonight's leading scorers were
the Ballerz' Isaac Mitchell, No.ii,
and the Vandals' Jonathan
Cheme, N0.8. Some players from
the Ballerz squad also expressed
their desire for more crowd sup-
port, and team cheerleaders.
The Ballerz \vill look to
advance to 2-4 against the
Bishops tomorrow night at 9 p.m.
"We're going to slow the ball
down more and try not to get into
the fast break run and gun. Also
get more rebounds and bo.K out,"
said Carrington,
The Women's basketball
team Sneaky Business put a
new perspective on the game of
basketball Tuesday evening.
Their philosophy isn't based on
who has the higher score. Their
feisty game play and winning
spirit proved that the game can
be played just for the sheer fun
of the sport.
"Well I know we're not very
good at shooting, so I just
stepped up the defense and
prevented them from shoot-
ing." said Sneaky's forward
Joella Wright.
The Rebounders defeated
Sneaky Business 24-11. But
where the Rebounders domi-
nated in scoreboard points.
Sneaky Business made up in
team spfrit.
Despite Sneaky Business'
shooting guard Katie Poole
raking in four fouls, she some-
how maintained a cheerful
heart, shown by her playful
taps on tlie shoulders of the
referees, or a quick shoulder
shrug in response to a whistle,
ending with a big laugh.
"Our team spirit is amazing.
Despite tlie fact that we lose all
the time, the girls still come out
and play their hardest. I'm just
really proud of them as they do
the best they can," said
Sneaky's point guard and team
captain, Tomesha Smith.
Whatever happened to being
downtrodden about losing and
blaming your loss on bad
defense or poor organization?
Kudos Sneaky Business, my
sportsmanship award goes to
you.
The Rebounders however,
remained at a serious level as
they shot the lights out on
Sneaky's defense in the second
half.
The Rebounders' center
Danielle Wilson briefly
responded about her team's
performance.
"Our shots were falling, and
we played with no subs
tonight," she said.
The Rebounders will play

The cave once used for
storing potatoes and other
farm produce is now being re-
opened for Southern
Adventist University students
and employees to enjoy. Soon
groups of three to lo people
will be able to explore up to
2,306 feet of the student park
"We're opening it up as an
easy-access cave. It's a very
user-friendly cave," said Mike
Hills, outdoor education pro-
fessor
manager
"We'll be able to take anyone
into the cave."
The cave was discovered in
the 1800s when quarrymen
cut limestone from around
the cave. The current
entrance sticks out farther
than the rest of the rock face.
While other people are
invited to explore the cave,
biology and outdoor educa-
tion students will mostly use
it. Hills plans to teach several
classes in the cave, such as
wilderness first aid. In addi-
tion, outdoor education stu-
dents will be trained to lead
groups through the cave.
"It's a good tool for stu-
dents," Hills said. "Students
get hands-on experience in
leadership and conservation."
Cave visitors are required
to sign a waiver, follow cave
guidelines and wear and carry
proper equipment. The
entrance gate requires key
access to protect the cave and
cavers. Group leaders must
read a booklet and pass a
short test. The purpose for the
guidelines is for safety and
education.
"The University is helping
to educate people about safe
caving and conservation,"
Hills said.
Community members
wishing to visit the Student
Park Cave must have a uni-
versity escort. Arrangements
for exploring the Student
Park Cave can be made
through the School of
Education & Psychology.
"Our goal is to share
knowledge of caves," Hills
said. "We want people to visit |
this cave."
Students lead prayer
Southern students, from left, Jaime Pombo, Phillip HuJIquist, Dalia McUlflh, and Henry Diaz bow Uieir
heads for 30 seconds of silent prayer before the start of Wednesday mornings week of prayer.
This week hundreds of
Southern students have packed
the Collegedale Seventh-day
Adventist Church for student
week of prayer.
Student week of prayer is an
annual event where students
have the opportunity to speak to
their peers and tell them about
the God they love. During the
week there are five morning
meetings and three evening
meetings with a different student
speaking for each.
"I believe that Student Week
of Prayer is a great way to help
refocus ourselves
to why we are here, and that is to
serve God," said Jaron
McClannahan, freshman general
studies major. "I often find that
without reminders like student
week of prayer I simply get too
caught up in studying and the
other million things I want to do
and forget to spend time with our
Lord and Savior."
In order to have the ii a.m.
time free every day for week of
prayer, Southern moved
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
morning classes up an hour,
making some classes meet at 7
a.m. Despite the hassle of a
changed schedule and some very
early morning classes, students
still find smdent week of prayer
to be very important.
"Often times we get caught up
in our work and forget God, and
week of prayer is a good way to
remind us what is most impor-
tant," said Christian Moore, sen-
ior accounting major.
Students say they really enjoy
hearing their peers speak, people
with stories they can relate with,
talking to them on their level.
"I like that fact that students
are speaking, The whole week in
general seems more laid back
and genuine," says Moore.
Reed Richardi will wrap up
the morning meetings on Friday
at II a.m speaking on "Growing

Southern aid falls short
Southern's Student
Association is saddened by the
amount of money students
raised for the Tsunami Relief
efforts.
"I'm disappointed, I thinlt we
could have done better than
that," said Melvin Taylor, stu-
dent association president. "But
praise God for what we did
because ifs better than noth-
mg."
SA originally asked students
to give $1 to the cause and hoped
to raise about $2000, which
would then be matched by the
Senate. About $700 has been
raised so far, but the Senate is
still donating $2000.
Students said the efforts
weren't promoted enough and
they were unsure where make
donations.
"I know I got an e-mail about
it but I didn't know where to
take the money," said Jessica
Stubleski, freshman nursing
major.
Taylor said he armounced the
project twice at convocation,
placed fliers in the dorms and
sent out an e-mail. He added
that better promotional meth-
ods could have been used but
sometimes you have to work
with your resources.
"No matter how much you
promote, it can be done better.

The University Health Center,
formerly Health Services, is now
serving faculty, staff, and any
dependents covered by Adventist
Risk Management- Students will
have to share the facility and
leam the importance of making
appointments if they do not want
their wait time increased.
This change took place Jan.
10,2005. So far, the health cen-
ter has served five people under
this new criterion. Despite small
numbers the staff remains opti-
mistic,
"Hopefully, there will be more
each week," said Audrienne
Andreika, assistant director-
practice manager.
All faculty and staff received
an e-mail about this change and
cveiything it entailed. However,
Andreika feels word-of-mouth
will be more effective in improv-
ing turnout.
"People will have a good expe-
rience and tell others it's good
down there," Andreika said.
The health center will offer
basic and professional services.
Basic services are free and
include blood pressure and
weight checks. Professional serv-
ices include treatment of minor
illness, physical exams and lab
tests, among other things.
Patients will be charged $10 co-
pay for each professional visit
Some believe the appeal of
going to the health center is ques-
tionable, considering faculty and
staff have access to local physi-
"I don't really know what the
motive of faculty going to health
services [would be]," said
Maranatha Hay, junior broadcast
journalism major.
Students don't seem to mind
the change, as long as the pri-
mary focus of the facility remains
focused on them.
"Health Services is a facility
where students can get help on
campus when they can't go else-
where. Obviously, students
should be a priority, but if they
can also handle faculty I don't see
why not," Hay said.
There remains some concem
that the venture may take away
from the students.
"My initial impression is it's
probably not a good idea because
it will take the focus from the stu-
dents," said Tiffany Foley, sopho-
more nursing major.
Hay noticed that in general, I
the health center did not appear I
to be too busy to handle the new I
patients. Hopefully, this will I
remain true as more facul^ a:
staff make appointments.
"If I was faculty I wouldn't I
mind getting a shot there," said 1

Information Services provides more Mac support

many feel tliere are few places

"If all else fails and I'm com-
pletely stumped and my friends
can't help mc, then I go to [IS],"
said Sara-May Colon, sophomore
religious education and graphic
design major.
While Mac support has been
limited in the past, IS
vides better service to those who
own Macintoshes to meet the
growing presence of Macs on
campus, but it still has its limita-
"If somebody has a problem
with their Mac, they can call us
just like a PC person can, but
once it's determined that the Mac
needs repairing, we have to send
them downtown," said Henry
Hicks, director of IS .
IS caimot repair Macintoshes
due to the cost of becoming an
official Apple repair center.
Increase of Mac use on campus is
causing IS to review this, espe-
cially since the university
about 150 in various depart-
ments.
While IS doesn't have staff
who specialize only in Macintosh,
the School of Visual Art and
Design has hired someone.
"I provide a lot of support for
students with Macs because there
aren't many other options," said
Will Cordis, mformation technol-
ogy administrator in the School
of Visual Art and Design.
For students it is not only eas-
ier to get help from Cordis, who
was hired especially to handle
computer problems for students
and professors in the depart- 1
ment, but it's also cheaper. I
charges $30 an hour for support, |
Mac or PC.

tions. All across the country lec-
tures and e.\hibitions are beme
held. The Universit>' of
Tennessee at Chattanooga is
nostmg various African
Amencan speakers. Here at
Southern there ^vill be lectures
stones, worships, and a cultural
show to emphasize the month

'Voices of power and dissent'
When registering for classes this
semester, students may have dis-
covered a new course in the English
and history departments.
Professors Rachel Byrd of the
English department and Lisa Diller
of the history department have
teamed up to offer shidents an
exciting new opportunity.
Persecution and Martyrdom:
Voices of Power and Dissent is the
brainchild of Byrd and Diller. In the
belief that there are two sides to
everj' story, they thought it would
be interesting to offer students both
the historical and literary perspec-
tives of each ;
'Our point in teaching this class
literature] in both ways," Diller
The main focus of the class is
England in the i6tli and 17th cen-
turies and how both the Catholics
and Protestants persecuted each
other. Studies will eventually lead to
the discussion of modem persecu-
tion and martyrdom. Readings
include both the concerns of those
in power as well as the opinions of
people in opposition.
The conviction involved in mar-
tyrdom is amazing," said Valerie
Miller, a junior elementaiy educa-
tion major. "I went to my advisor
and said I want to take this class!
Being Christians, we all want to
have conviction and an amazing
faith in God. To study this class is

An objective of the class is to
learn to connect the course content
to present-day events. By the end of
die semester, students will have
presented research papers on mod-
ern persecution, and using
resources from opposing views,
learned how to properly represent
both sides.
Diller said the class is also a
study in toleration.
"As faithfiil Christians we must
learn how to live with people who
are different from us, even when we
arc really sure they are wrong. We
still must know how to be truthiul
and to evaluate evidence,"

campus in February, offering
internships and possible job
opportunities for students.
"Lifetalk hopes to employ
10 to 15 students. We hope to
use a lot of students to do a lot
of production. We might even
provide job opportunities
after graduation," President
Steven Gallimore explained.
Gallimore told students
they will be a major asset to
the new radio station.
Students will be hired to fulfill
the duties of scriptwriters,
radio editors, television edi-
tors and graphic designers.
Student employees will be
able to plan their own hours
so scheduling will be flexible.
Salaries and hourly wages are
not yet known. Everyone,
regardless of expenence, is
encouraged -to apply. ■ '
"We are willing to teach
and train students. All grade
levels are welcome to apply.
An internship with Lifetalk
will also look great on a
resume," Gallimore said.
Lifetalk is scheduled to he
in full production by the end
of February. Programming
will consist of 40 percent
music and 60 percent
talk/sermon. Originally locat-
ed outside of Knoxville,
Lifetalk will move into the old
water company building on
Industrial Drive.
"The Collegedale commu-
nity seemed like the perfect
place to relocate. Southern
students can also benefit from
the move," Gallimore said.
Lifetalk does not have a
dial on the FM frequency, but
online streaming will be avail-
able in February on their web-
site. Visit lifetalk.net for live
broadcasting-

Michael Younkin, junior
media production major.
Not only are students excit-

Bush to ask Congress 3iMarineskilled in crash
for $80 billion more " """"^
WASHINGTON (AP)
President Bush is getting
ready to ask Congress for an
additional $80 billion for con-
flicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,
as budget analysts prepare new
estimates of the federal deficits
that would have loomed even
without the wars.
An $8() billion request would
push tlie total provided to tiie
Defense Department so far for
tliose wars and for U.S. efforts
against terrorism elsewhere in
the world to more than $280
billion. An additional $25 bil-
lion has been provided to
rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan,
all but $4 billion for Iraq.
On the war financing front,
White House budget chief
Joshua Bolten or other admin-
istration officials were expected
to describe Bush's forthcoming
request for funds on Tuesday,
according to congressional
aides who spoke on condition
of anonymity. The package
won't formally be sent to
Congress until after Bush
unveils his full 2006 budget
on Feb. 7, the aides said.
White House officials
declined to comment on the
war package, which will come
as the United Slates confronts
continued violence in Iraq
leading up to that country's
Jan, 30 elections.
Aides said about three-
fourths of the $80 billion was
expected to be for the Army,
which is bearing the brunt of
the fighting in Iraq. It also
was expected to include
money for building a U.S.
embassy in Baghdad, estimat-
ed to cost $1.5 billion.
By pushing war spending
so far beyond $280 billion,
the latest proposal would
approach nearly half the $613
billion the United States
spent for World War 1 or the
$623 billion it expended for
the Vietnam War, when the
costs of those conflicts
translated into 2005 dollars.

people, all believed to be
Marines.
A Bush administration offi-
cial
lid the
of
Wednesday's crash was not
immediately known but that
there was bad weather at the
time.
The CH-53 Sea Stallion was
carrying personnel from the 1st
Marine Division when it went
down about 1:20 a.m. near the
town of Rutbah, about 220
miles west of Baghdad, while
conducting security opera-
tions, the military said in a
statement.
A search and rescue team
has reached the site and an
investigation mto what caused
the crash was under way.
The administration official
said Wednesday that all 31
people killed in the crash were
believed to be U.S. Marines. It
was the deadliest ttay for U.S.
forces since the March 2003
Bush expressed his condo-
lences for the deaths. "The
story today is going to be very
discouraging to the American
people. I understand that. It is
the long-term objective that is
vital-that is to spread free-
dom," he told reporters.
The previous single dead-
liest incident for U.S. troops
was also a helicopter crash: In
November 2004, two Black
Hawk helicopters collided
while trying to avoid ground
fire, killing 17 service members.

^ Ask Big Debbie:
Dear Big Debbie,
1 was talking with a friend of
mine about our parents. I men-
tioned that we call each other
every day; apparently she thought
it was excessive. Now whenever I
see her, she brings it up in conver-
sation with other people! What is
the deal? Should I limit the par-
ent/child contact?
•Mama's boy
Dear Mama's boy,
If you've been through adoles-
cence, you've surely experienced a
moment or two in which you
thought that your parents' morti-
fying conduct would successfully
prevent you from making friends,
getting a job and someday getting
married. (After my dad wore hot
pink, very short running shorts in
front of my entire academy, 1
thought 1 would never find some-
one who would be willing to join
such a fiimily.)
However, a little distance from
ray parents has made me realize
that I love them, no matter how
degrading their behavior may be.
Frankly, you don't love your par-
ents based on what your friends
think of them. In this world of dys-
funcHonal families, you are lucky
to have such a close relationship
with your parents. There is noth-
ing to be ashamed of in having
parents who really love and care
for you! Hopefully your friends
would agree.
On the flipside, you are in col-
lege now, and pretty soon you are
going to be the head of your own
family. Eventually, youTl have to
learn how to get along with a litde
less support from your parents.
Maybe your friends are hinting at
that. Nevertheless, I hope you
never take your parents for grant-
ed.
Got questions? Big Debbie
knows the answer. E-mail them to

Wilco takes new album approach
The newest album from
WUco, "A Ghost is Bom," takes
a i8o-degree turn from their
highly produced 2002 album,
"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.' In it the
Chicago-based band takes a
more raw and organic approach
to making an album. And while
the production on "Yankee
Hotel Foxtrot" fits for those
songs and ties them all together,
the lack thereof works much the
same way on "A Ghost Is Bom".
Their newest album works
because the songs are strong,
and diverse, which is another
great aspect of this album. A lot
of musical ground is covered,
from the drum machine/key-
board driven "Spiders
(Kidsmoke)," to the spastic, gui-
tar-driven "I'm A Wheel" to the
Beatle-esque "Hunrniingbird."
At times the album even has
a jazzy feel, due mostly to the

joined the band and mostly
taken over those duties).

No more tfian 50 texts in the Bible
address the issue of homosex-uality. From
what I've read. God is most concerned with
the way we treat others.
"Unto one of die least of these my broth-
ers..." Those who choose to shun others also
shun Christ. Throughout His ministry on
earth, Jesus shattered convention as He
embraced tax coUectors, prostitutes and
other shady characters ratiier than con-
demning tliem.
In fact, Jesus was tiie most accepUng per-
son who ever walked tiiis earth. Ironically, it
seems as tiiough tiie only people He really

America gives her citizens many
opportunities to witness historic
events. One such event is the presi-
dential inauguration. Little can com-
pare to gazing in person upon the
capitol steps where the entire govern-
ment is gathered as the president, or
president-elect as the occasion may
warrant, solemnly swears to uphold
and defend the constitution. Former
presidents, senators, congressmen,
justices of the Supreme Court, the
chiefs of staff, state governors, cabi-
net members-all are present for the
occasion, as well as thousands of
ordinary Americans.
On Jan. 20, I was one of those
ordinary Americans who gathered in
front of the capitol to watch
President George W. Bush take the
oath of office for the second time.
And I. along with the thousands
around me, applauded and cheered
loudly.
President Bush, in his inaugural
address, boldly proclaimed America's
intention of promoting freedom
around the world. He pledged the
resources of our country to assist
those in other countries who are
striving for a democracy and freedom
they can claim as their own. He also
spoke of the affairs at home-pro-
moting an ownership society where
each citizen has a stake in America,
ensuring that quality education is
available to all, promoting a course of
action that places the citizen's future
in his own hands.
Some critique his record and
ridicule his initiatives, saying he has-
n't done a good job in the past.
Obviously, however, the majority of
Americans believe he has done, and
will continue to do, a better job than
John Kerry could have done. As the
critics ridicule the president, they are
in essence saying the American pub-
lic is stupid and the form of govern-
ment our forefathers prescribed did-
n't work this time.
The inauguration was a splendid
affair and the message of the pre 1
dent's address inspiring and hopel
Perhaps the image you saw presente.l
on television, radio and in print po'
trayed a different picture, an incoi
rect one in my opinion. The media
focused on the protesters and the
tight security, neither of which
diminished my enjoyment of the
event. The protesters were vocal but
far outnumbered by enthusiastic sup-
porters of the president. The security
was tight but not stifling. The media
unfortunately did fail to report on
one very satisfying aspect of the inau-
guration: the crowd booed John
Kerry when he appeared on the capi-
tol steps.

^ If Jesus were president Reaching in, reaching out, part II
Aside from James Dobson's
Focus on the Family, the
Christian Coalition of America
is probably the most influential
Christian organization in
America today. The CCA
describes itself as "America's
leading grassroots organization
defending our godly heritage,"
and "the largest and most active
conservative grassroots political
organization in America."
In an open letter front and
center on the CCA home page
(www.cc.org), President
Roberta Combs shares her sat-
isfaction with the outcome of
the November elections. Here
are some of her statements:
"The elections are over and pro-
family conservatives won
important victories all across
America." "Ofall the issues that
influenced how people cast
their ballot, the number one
category was 'moral issues.'"
Christians across America
have found much in this
President that pleases them. He
preaches morality, integrity,
and justice. Those qualities
struck a chord among Christian
voters. Finally, they have found
a leader who will stand up to
secular America, someone who
believes in Christ. Indeed,
Christians lake credit for being
a (if not THE) primary force in
re-electing the President.
Clearly they got what they want-
ed.
The thought that Christians
got what they wanted raised this
question in my mind: Wliat if
Jesus were to run for president?
Throughout Scripture, Jesus is
adamant that his kingdom is
not of this world. Wlien his
brotiiers admonished him tliat
"No one who wants to become a
public figure acts in secret," he
said in essence, "You don't get
it, do you?" Jesus never was one
for pubhc approval or positions
of power (which has interesting
implications for a Christian
president), but pretend that he
wanted to be president of the
United States, as far-fetched as
it may seem.
Consider what Jesus' public
pohcies might look like in our
culture. How might America
respond to a President that said,
"Do not resist an evil person. If
someone strikes you on the
right cheek, turn to him the
other also. And if someone
wants to sue you and take your
tunic, let him have your cloak as
well." What if the president of
America said, "But I tell you:
love your enemies and pray for
those who persecute you."? Can
you imagine a public policy
based on that principle?
Imagine a government interest- j
ed above all in the needs of the
"the least of these" whom Jesus
described. Jesus' statements
often seem very un-presidential
and rightly so.
As much as we call America a
Christian nation, when we look
honestly at the principles that
drive our economy, our lifestyle,
our public policies, and our
"American dream", the things
we come up with usually have
very little to do with what seems
to be at the heart of Jesus'
teachings. Even some leading
Christians may be off the mark
as far as their aspirations are
concerned.
So, what if Jesus ran for pres-
ident? Would he be popular?
Would he win among
Christians? Would you want
someone like Jesus leading our
nation into 2005? What if the
President started talking and
acting the way Jesus did? Or
more realistically, what would it
take to shift our priorities from
those of our leaders to those
Jesus described?
Imagine such a world!
Last week I wrote about how
we need to encourage and lift
up members of our church and
people we come in contact with
on campus. Just like a firebase
in the Vietnam War, our church
needs to be internally fortified.
What is the purpose of our
church if all we do is stay in our
comfort zones? We clearly
don't get this from the Bible.
Jesus said "Go and teach all
nations..." Did the disciples
stay in their comfort zones?
Absolutely not! They were mar-
tyred. I am convinced that for
us to have a purpose as a
church, and as Christians indi-
vidually, we have to leave our
comfort zones and reach out to
those around us.
Sometimes, though, I think
we are too scared to reach out.
Of course some of us are con-
cerned about going to the bad
parts of town. But, hey, being a
witness doesn't mean everyone
goes there. And if you do go
there to witness, they know
who really cares about them
and they know who's just try-
ing to do a good deed to tell
their friends. But that's not
what I'm talking about.
Sometimes, I think we are
scared to reach out because of
who might end up invading our
comfort zones at church.
Someone very close to me once
got upset when a lady who was
new to the Adventist church
called herself an Adventist.
Apparently she was smoking in
public and calling herself an
Adventist. In my mind, if she
was trying to make changes
great for her. I tend to think
the other person's reaction is
common place in our church
though. We don't want riff-raff
invading our space and bring-
ing down our church's name
I'd like our church to be known
as a place where sinners can go
and feel welcome and loved.
All of us are sinners, so we're
all in the same boat. We need
to get beyond these high and
mighty attitudes and start
reaching out and loving. That's
what Jesus did. Look at the fire
He started two thousand years
ago; it's still burning. Wouldn't
it be great if our church was a
base that we could spread that
fire from?
Batchelor calls for prayer revival
Pastor Doug Batchelor from
Amazing Facts just finished the
internationally televised revival
meetings in the Chattanooga
area in November 2004. The
purpose of the 2004 revival
meetings was to help rejuve-
nate the spiritual lives of cur-
rent Seventh-day Adventist
church members around the
globe. Now Batchelor and his
team of helpers are making
preparations for the NET '05
meetings to be held in
Washington, D.C., starting on
Friday, March 4, and running
through Saturday, March 26,
2005.
The NET '05 website com-
ments on the sfrategic location
of this year's NET meetings:
"Broadcasting internationally
from the political capital of the
world during a time of multiple
earth-shaking events, it will be an
incredible opportunity to share
the truth of the gospel with des-
perate souls in need."
As the NET '05 team makes
preparations for this event, they
are coming across various snags
as they try to spread the word and
advertise the meetings. Pastor
Doug Batchelor recently called for
fellow believers to remember the
meetings in prayer and Specially
the preparations leading up to the
meetings.
"We have experienced some
serious problems getting out
advertising for this event, and
now we are turning to the people
of God for much-needed help,"
Batchelor wrote in a recent mass
e-mail. "I need you to please pray
for this series— that God will open
the floodgates and keep this
important event moving for-
ward."
Batchelor has seen positive
results of past NET meetings.
"Within two years of our NET '99
series in New York City, more
than 150,000 people were bap-
tized-and not just in New York,
but everywhere around the worid
SMC touches community
DanhlllkMiiiii.knukck
chiuxJies that broadcast The
Millennium of Prophecy," he
said.
Batchelor sees the NET '05
meetings as a prime opportunit}'
for reaching people around the
world through evangelism, giveD
the current events and circum-
stances of the worid. "Wars, freak
weather, deadly natural disasters,
and terrorism are devastating
every inhabited continent,"
Batchelor says. "Millions of anx-
ious people are Ijing awake at
night, asking God for answers
regarding the fiiture."
"Now, in a Uttle over a month,
we are taking our team to
Washington, D.C., area to present
The Prophecy Code.' Please pray
that God will bless our efforts at
the nation's capital, and if your
church or home can receive either
3ABN or Hope Channel, you cao
register and bring people to
Jesus!" Batchelor says.

Butter-Bailers topple six feet over
1 jESJiAiNE Andrades
MfOKTSjOiyOR
i Tuesday night, the men's bas-
letball team Butter-Bailers
fcroved that size doesn't matter
K, their showdown against 6 Feet
fover, as Butter-Bailers won, 54-
■40.
Butter's smallest player on
their roster, point guard Bryce
Martin, finished big with 17
points.
'I made my lay-ups. I usually
miss the 'gimmes', but tonight I
finished," Martin said.
The first half began ivith the
Butter-Bailers opening up a 7-0
run in a 4-minute time fi^me,
maldng the score 13-6.
6's power forward Jeremy
Wampler re-ignited his team's
energy by blocking Butter's
small forward Trov Churchill
early in the first half! This forced
a turnover, and the 6's capital-
ized off the easy bucket with a lay
up by their shooting guard
OUver Burkett. By the end of the
first half, 6 Feet Over were
under, 30-22.
"First of all, I'm coming off
the flu. Secondly, we had two
guys m class, so we tossed a team
together at the last minute to try
to pull off a [win]" said 6's coach,
Andrew Holt.
In the second half, fatigue
plagued 6 Feet Over as the
Butter-Bailers made easy bas-
kets and caused multiple
turnovers.
Jason Holt, 6's small forward
also shared his thoughts about
the game: "I think we just didn't
play a good enough defense as
we [should] of We did a lot of
tipping the ball instead of just
grabbmg the rebound and put-
ting it back up."
Andrew Holt summed up the
game the best with his final com-
ment: "Bryce Martin played an
incredible game. That's just the
bottom line."

Assistant jy .
chaplain dies Kenovations continue
in collision
The assistant chaplain at
Georgia Cumberland Academy
died Monday, Jan. 31, when the
van he was driving collided
with a broken down logging
truck in the middle lane of I-75
south.
Twenty-one-year-old
Brandon Moore, a junior theol-
ogy major from Walla Walla
College in Washington State,
was just south of Dalton when
the accident occurred.
. "He was in Dalton to get
shots and paperwork done so
he could visit his girlfriend in
Ecuador," said Donnie Keele,
sophomore media production
major and childhood friend of
Moore.
Keele passed the accident
just minutes after it happened
but didn't realize it was Moore.
"There was already a white
sheet over the front of the van
when we passed," Keele said.
Two immediate memorial
services have been planed for
Moore. GCA will hold a service
Friday, Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
Moore's funeral will be held at
his family's home church in
Battle Ground, Washington on
Saturday, Feb. 5 at 3:00 p.m.
Faculty and students at GCA
are mourning the tragedy.
"Everyone is just in shock,"
said Justin Wampler, a junior
at GCA. "Everyone looked up to
him a lot."
Moore was spending the
year as a volunteer assistant
chaplain to Greg Hudson, ,
GCA's campus chaplain.
"He was tireless," said
Hudson. "Always ready to
jump in wherever he was need-
ed."
GCA has tried to create an
environment where kids can
recover from the shock they're
feeling.
"We've set up a safe room in
the library," said Hudson. "It's
just a place where students can
come and reflect."
As assistant chaplain, Moore
was reaching out to students.
"He lived for God, he lived
for family and he lived for
friends, in pretty much that
order" said Justin Evans,

Last year's fire at Lynn Wood
Hall forced the Universit>' to ren-
ovate the entire building.
Construction had been underway
only on the third floor since
spring of 2003, but it quickly
came to a standstill due to seri-
ous weakened structural integri-
ty said Dan Ford, the foreman of
the site and a University Pant
Services employee.
"[The building] was not sup-
ported adequately to cany the
load of renovations" said Ford.
The fire then forced the
University to make the building a
priority and restart iulltime con-
struction on the 81 year-old
building late spring of last year.
The building was built in 1924
and is now the oldest standing
structure remaining from the
original construction which is an
obstacle in its own.
"Old buildings like this are
always hard to work on." said
Ford. "There's so much more to
do [to bring up to codel."
The third floor will be occu-
pied by both the Center for
Learning Success and the Testing
and Counseling Center, both of
which are considered the same
department, but they currendy
operate in two separate build-
ings. The move to Lynn Wood
Hall would bring the two togeth-
er on one floor and offer more
streamlined services and benefits
to students.
"Moving to Lynn Wood Hall
would give us the privacy for the
students that they need. Some
students come here for counsel-
ing, and some come for testing.
The students need quiet and pri-
vacy." said Liane V. De Souza a
Foreign Student Transitions
Counselor at the Testing and
Counseling Center.
The Center has been patiently
waiting to move. They anticipat-
ed doing so by the beginning of
this year, but no deadline has
been given other than die statute
of limitations given by the insur-
ance company. Mrs, De Souza
was told not to move in perma-
nently when she was hired two
years ago, and hasn't even put up
her diplomas yet because she
didn't want to ruin the walls.
Ford said that although he hasn't
been given a deadline, he person-
ally plans to have the site com-
pleted by s
Local ([conference to elect new president
Another presidential elec-
tion is scheduled to take place
on Feb. 6, 2005, and it has
nothing to do with the white
house.
Georgia- Cumberland
Conference Executive
Committee and the 2002
Conference Nominating
Committee will discuss nomi-
nations for president. The
meeting wiU be held at Cohutta

"This is not a typical elec-

grieving stage, prayerfully to
choose a new conference presi-
dent," said LeClare Litchfield,
official on the nominating com-
mittee and chaplain of Spalding

The meeting became neces-
sary after a small plane crash

Club funding redesigned to encourage community service
Ketty Bonilla
In an attempt to cut the
gap between Southern's
active and non-active clubs,
Kari Shultz, director of stu-
dent life and activities,
plans to redesign the way
clubs receive their funding.
Currently, there are 43
clubs at Southern, but not
all are active. Although not

Shultz plans to
implement a new point sys-
tem for the 2005-2006
school year that will help
clubs reach their goals and
be more active by receiving
monetary rewards in a fair
way.
"It will be huge when put
together," Shultz said. "It
will be more systematic." ■
Shultz will work on the
project this summer and
says the clubs will earn dif-
ferent points for communi-
activities through flyers
and participating in many
other ways not yet deter-
mined.
"No money will be given
to clubs that are not doing
anything," Shultz said. "I
want clubs to know that my
office is a resource that
they can use, kind of like a
check and balances."

around 40 members but
only a few active ones, it
might be difficult to per-
form community service.
"It is hard to get some-
thing done because every-
one has different sched-
ules," said Flo Merryman,
senior international busi-
ness major and pre-law
club president. "It is hard
to get a club going and be
active with no money
because it takes money to
make money."
Larger clubs might like
the idea because it is easier
for them to be active.
"I like the idea that the
new program will measure

based on statistics and not
opinion," said Ruben

Veterans Park gets new sculpture
Terry Paxton
Georgia artist Gregory
Johnson is creating a new
$75,000 sculpture for the
Collegedale Veterans Park.
"I think it's great that all
these people have come
together to make the sculp-
ture a reality," said Joel
Davis, sophomore biology
major. "It will serve as a
reminder of the price paid
for the freedom we enjoy
today."
The bronze sculpture,
depicting a medic and a
wounded soldier, should be
finished and put i„ the park
around September said Phil
arver of the veterans
memorial board of directors.
"us is the dream of one

The memorial will be a
"unique tribute to guys that
tried to save lives instead of
take them," Garver said.
"This is just one way to say
thank-you."
This has been quite a
challenging and humbling
experience," said Johnson,
who started this particular
work in early November
2004.
Johnson has spent about
640 hours working on this
particular piece. The
memorial will be reahstic
and will feature intricate
detail due to Johnson's work
and Carver's input. Acrion
will be infused into the
sculpture by the use ot

WSMC to fix antenna
WSMC staff suspect the loss
of their main radio antenna
two weeks ago was due to
lightning.
WSMC plans to call the
weather station to see what
types of weather patterns were
present when the antenna
stopped working. They will
also send the antenna to elec-
tronic consuhants to confirm
their suspicions.
This malfunction has
caused a 50 percent loss in the
radio signal's distance. The
percentage that is being main-
tained is from the station's
backup antenna. Fixing the
60-foot antenna will be expen-
sive, costing somewhere
between $40,000 to $60,000.
The station is trying to figure
out how to get the funds.
"Right now the [SAU]
administration is checking
with insurance," said David
Brooks, general manager of
WSMC.
Other plans to earn money
include receiving funds from
Southern's administration, lis-
teners and private grant
donors. However, there are
currently no details.
Brooks hopes for a quality
antenna that would allow the
station to send a stronger sig-
nal through the mountains
and hills located in the area.
As FM signals can only be
received when the receiver is
in a direct line of sight with
the transmitter, an object,
such as a mountain.can inter-
rupt the signal.
The loss of the antenna has
also brought on another con-
cern; the listeners.
"I am very concerned that
the station can't provide all
our listeners with our service,"
Brooks said. "The university's
administration is moving
quickly to resolve the inci-
Being a nonprofit station,
WSMC depends on the listen-
ers to be donators as well as an
audience. This adds urgency
to solving the problem.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Republicans on the Senate
Judiciary Committee
advanced Alberto Gonzales'
attorney general nomination
on a partyline, 10-8 vote,
sending it to the full Senate
where Republicans were
expected to use their 55-44
advantage to confirm him
there next week at the earliest.
But the Senate won't vote
Wednesday to confirm attor-
ney general nominee Alberto
Gonzales, GOP senators say,
in part because Democrats
don't want to give President
Bush a success to talk about in
his State of the Union speech.
"They want the bully pulpit
all the way up to and after that
to try to taint this nominee
with the perceived sins of the
Bush administration," said
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
The Senate won't vote on the
nomination until at least
Thursday.
The Senate's top Democrat
said Tuesday that Democrats
won't try to filibuster
Gonzales' nomination, but
will hold extensive debate
over his role in developing the
Bush administration's policies
on foreign detainees.
"There will be an up-or-
down vote" and no blockage,

Bush delivers annual address
Sonar protects ports
LOS AHGELES (AP)
The Coast Guard is seeking
to protect the nation's ports
from terrorist attacl<s by
scuba divers with a sonar sys-
tem so powerful it can distin-
guish swimmers from dol-
phins.
The security device, to be
unveiled Wednesday, scans
port waters and alerts author-
ities on land to any possible
divers. A response boat then
drops a second sonar below
the surface for confirmation
and sends back high-resolu-
tion images of the diver.
"Instead of alerting us to
every sea lion, manatee or
fish, this system will help us
identify objects as a diver who
just got lost or someone who
mtends on doing us harm,"
Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Alan
lubbs said Tuesday. "To date
the Coast Guard's law
enforcement has been mostly
above water. This is just
another capability."
Concerns about terrorist
strikes by scuba divers were
raised three years ago after
the FBI announced it was

Qaida operatives took scuba

Iraq tallies the votes
The Southern Accent 5
B4GHBAPJH9JAP)
Under the watch of armed
Western security guards and
monitors, Iraqi election work-
ers are douig a second count of
the country's historic vote, tap-
ping at computer keyboards
and sifting through bags of
tally sheets.
Papers rustled and scissors
snapped as elections employ-
ees standing behind a long
counter plucked clear bags
containing tally sheets from
cardboard boxes on Tuesday
"This is the new future," one
election official said at the tal-
lying center inside Baghdad's
heavily fortified Green Zone.
This is the second phase of
the count. On Monday after-
noon, workers at polling cen-
ters nationwide finished an ini-
tial hand count of ballots fi-om
more than 5,200 precincts.
Tally sheets and the ballots
themselves were then trucked
to Baghdad under U.S. military
escort.
On Tuesday morning, about
200 clerks here began loggmg
data from the tally sheets mto
laptop computers for what
could be the final count. In sev-
eral shifts, they're working
around the clock in the brieht-
ly lit room.
Several monitors sat quietly
on one side of the room.
Surveillance video cameras
were installed in the hall, and
television monitors showed
another room where more tally
sheets stuffed m clear plastic
boxes were stored.
The individual ballots them-
selves are stored in secure
warehouses and will only be
recounted if the results are
contested by political parties or
managers of voting stations
who have the origmal figures.
Fmal results could take up
to 10 days, officials said, and
they won't be certified until the
end of a petitions period to file
complaints that's expected to
last about two weeks.
It could also be several days
before officials announce
turnout figures, election offi-
cials said.
Reporters were not allowed
to talk to workers at the tally-
ing center.

The Social Security system will take in more money annually

in a modest change unlikely to alter the growing political debate

Ask Big Debbie: tied to Increase label awareness Question
of the week
^
parents
Dear Big Debbie,
I was talking with a friend
of mine about our parents. I
mentioned that we call each
other every day; apparently
she thought it was excessive.
Now whenever I see her, she
brings it up in conversation
with other people! What is
the deal? Should I limit the
parent/child contact?
•Mama's boy
Dear Mama's boy,
If you've been through
adolescence, you've surely
experienced a moment or
two in which you thought
that your parents' mortifying
conduct would successfully
prevent you from making
friends, getting a job, and
someday getting married.
(After my Dad wore hot
pink, very short running
shorts in front of my entire
academy, I thought 1 would
never find someone who
would be willing to join such
a family.)
However, a little distance
from my parents has made
me realize that I love them,
no matter how degrading
their behavior may be.
Frankly, you don't love your
parents based on what your
friends think of them. In this
world of dysfunctional fami-
lies, you are lucky to have
such a close relationship
with your parents. There is
nothing to be ashamed of in
having parents who really
love and care for you!
Hopefully your friends
would agree.
On the flipside, you are in
college now and pretty soon,
you are going to be the head
of your own family.
Eventually, you'll have to
learn how to get along with a
little less support from your
parents. Maybe your friends
are hinting at that.
Nevertheless, I hope you
never take your parents for
granted.

specifically to do. Don't cvia- be -jusi

Read the Label.
With all the health claims
on food packages, can you
really be sure whether some-
thing is "truly lite", low-fat,
low-carb, or fat free? Be a
smart consumer— learn to
read the nutrition facts panel.
First, start with servings.
How many servings does the
package contain? What is the
size of the serving? To get a
true sense of your total intake
multiply all the numbers on
the panel according to the
number of servings you actu-
ally eat to get a true sense of
your total intake. "Lite" isn't
lite is if you're eating several
servings.
Second, consider the calo-
ries per serving. Are they
high or low in calories per
serving? The information on
the nutrition facts panelist is
calculated for a 2,000 to
2,500 calories a day diet.
This may be too high or too
low for your goals.
Remember this equation for
maintaining your weight:
calories in calories out. If you
want to lose weight, you have
to either cut calories or
increase activity.
Next is the "limit list" and
"goodies section." Fat, cho-
lesterol and sodium are
nutrients that you want to
limit for good health.
Included on this limit list"
are saturated fat and trans fat
(a type food fat that often
appears as "hydrogenated"
on the list of ingredients). In
the "goodies section" you'll
find nutrients that you want
more fiber, vitamins, calcium
and iron.
Finally, take advantage of
the daily value (DV)
Whether the nutrient is good
or bad, a DV of 5 percent or
less is considered low, and a
DV of 20 or more percent is
considered high. If you don't
want to calculate spend your
day counting calories, all day,
aim for less than 100% of the
nutrients on the limit list
each day, and try to get at
least 100% of the goodies.
Take charge of your food
choices. Read the label

of the most loving and family-ori-

several radio programs that have
always taught tolerance. (Have
you Ustened to "Adventures in
Odyssey" lately?) Yet let's look at
something that was conveniently
dropped from We Are Family's
website just after this controversy
erupted:
"Compulsorj' heterosexuality
leads to the notion of women as
inherently 'weak,' and the institu-
tionalized inequality of power:
power of men to control women's
sexuality, labor, childbirth and
childrearing, physical movement,
safety, creativity, and access to
kno^vledge."
So idealizing heterosexualit>'
tells women they are weak and
subjugates thera to the vile and
dictatorial rule of men? Give me a
break! Such a view hardly appears
to be that of a harmless dove-and-
oUve-branch group just trying to
promote peace and love. But to be
a good sport I would just like to
say I still like Mr. Lauritzen. After
all, it's important to demonstrate
that it is possible to hate the col-
umn and love the columnist.

In essence, Wallis says, there are
important moral issues facing our coun-
try today that are falling through the
cracks because conservatives are focus-
ing on the wrong ones and liberals don't
know how to respond.
And the fact is, Wallis is right. Mote
than 3,000 Bible texts talk about pover-
ty. Do you think maybe God cares about
the distribution of wealth? I don't
remember anything about Jesus offering
the rich young ruler a tax cut. No,
instead He told him to seU everjthing he
had and give to the poor.
I'm fine with talking about gay mar-
riage and abortion, but let's open the
conversation up a little bit. Let's talk
more about poverty' and service to oth-
ers. Let's talk more about protecting the
environment-it is, after all, God's cre-
ation. Let's talk more about racial equal-
ity (and not just during Black Histoiy
Month). These are all moral Usues that
deserve our attention. Why must we be
so choosy? ^
Wallis ended his interview by quotmg
Matthew 25;40 and 45, "Whatever .^ou

"Our purpose now is to reclaim democ-
racy itself." — John Kerry
"The concerted effort of free nations to
promote democracy is a prelude to our
enemies' defeat." - George W, Bush
"I believe we are on an irreversible trend
toward more freedom and democracy..."
- Dan Quayle
What do all these quotations have in
common, besides being stirring expres-
sions of patriotism? They all, without as
much as a second thought, refer to our
nation as a democracy. Yet consider the
words of Benjamin Franklin, when asked
what kind of government the
Constitutional Convention had created: "a
Republic, if you can keep it."
There's no real difference between a
republic and a democracy, though, is
tiiere? Or perhaps there is; here are a cou-
ple more quotes from our founding fathers.
"Democracies have ever been spectacles
of turbulence and contention; have ever
been found incompatible with personal
security or the rights of property; and have
in genera] been as short in their lives as
they have been violent in their deafli." -
James Madison
"The general object [of the
Constitution] was to produce a cure for the
evils under which the United States
labored; that in tracing these evils to their
origms, every man had found it in the mr-
bulence and follies of democracy. -
Edmund Randolph
Why was this apparent fear of democra-
cy so prevalent among the men who had
just founded a government that today is
itself generally labeled a democracy? I
believe the ans\ver is that we have forgot-
ten the difference between a democracy
and a republic - the government our
Constitution was designed to provide. In
reading the transcript of a speech given by
Representative Ron Paul of Texas in 2003.
the iraporiance of this concern became
increasingly clear to me. (The speech is
available at www.house.gov, and I would
strongly encourage you to read it if this
topic interests you.)
The simple answer is that they feared
that in the "majority rule" mmdset of ii

So is tiiere really still any danger in democ-

today that stem from our nation's redefini-

was hidden at the base of
Missionary Ridge.
"We lost visibility and
accessibility," Fuller said.
Williams added that the cur-
rent urban shift to the sub-
urbs also influenced the
church's move Standifer Gap.
Chattanooga First broke
ground on its ii-acre piece of
properly in March 2004.
Construction of the church
started in August.
"Our theme is that we are a
'light set upon a hill,' since
the church is on u hill over-
looking Interstate 75,"
Williams said.
The new church facilitv
will seat 550 people. The
facility includes a sanctuary,
a church office, Sabbath
school rooms and a fellow-
ship hall.
Williams said after the
building is finished, there
will still be land left for
recreational purposes.
"The land that the church
is on has approximately five
acres of woods that are still
available for use in building
walking trails for Sabbath
afternoon walks, vespers and
the use of our active
Pathfinder Club," Williams
said.
Fuller said the church
anticipates growth as they
relocate to the new church
facility; they want to be
where they can grow through
evangelism and community
programs.
"Currently, attendance is
growing, and younger fami-
lies are joining," Fuller said.
"Wo have a lot of great pro-
grams at our church. We
have an orchestra and a
cUoir. and we have a growing
children f Sabbath school
program as well
"We want to be in a posi-
tion where we have visibility
and accessibility. We want to
be in an area that's easy for
people to find us," Fuller
said. "We want to reach out
to the community through
the typical cooking classes,
stop-smoking classes and
pre-natal care, as well as
Daniel and Revelation semi-
nars and evangelism."
Chattanooga First plans to
grow and develop, but it also
wants to reach out and help
plant other churches once it
reaches its own capacity.
"It was determined to not
have a huge church so if it got
too crowded, we could be cre-
ating plantings of other
churches out in rural areas
for outreach." Williams said.
Chattanooga First
Church's Sabbath school and
worship services currently
meet at 9:30 a.m. and u.oo
a.m., respectively. For more
information, call 624-9618.
Week of Prayer is a highly
spiritual event each semester.
Inspirational words are spo-
ken. Touching songs are
sung. Prayer is uplifted. Souls
are reconnected with God.
But then life returns to
"normal." The week after,
students return to their class-
es at their regular meeting
times, and convocation hap-
pens once a week rather than
every day. So does that mean
our spiritual lives have to
return to "normal" as well?
With the time following
Week of Prayer comes the
opportunity for personal
responsibility. We are not
always going to have Weeks
i of Prayer or Bible study
I groups to depend on for our
I spiritual nourishment. We
need to have our ovm person-
al connections to the Source
of spiritual power and
strength.
In order to have this life-
sustaining connection, we
need to learn to trust God and
to know Him like we know- no
other. We do this through
studying His word faithfully
and thoughtfully and through
heart-felt prayer. And when
we come to know and to trust
God as our deepest and clos-
est friend, our lives will be
transformed, and He will
help us to live more abun-
dantly.
Living more abundant
mean that we will be rich or
have lots of things or be pop-
ular and have lots of friends.
These things are what the
world would define as charac-
teristics of f '
What it does mean is that ow
lives will be full of Jesus
What more could we want
than to have close coramun-
ion and friendship with our
Creator and our Savior? In I
His mercy and love, He gave I
up everything for us so
we could have eternal life. |
That is friendship. That i.
love. That is the foundatioDof |
an abundant life.
Billy Graham tells the stor)' I
of an heir of the wealthy
Borden family deciding to fol-
low God's direction in his life
by going to China as a mis-
sionary. His friends thoughl I
he was crazy and that he w
wasting his life by going to |
serve as a missionary :
China. But this young m;
loved Jesus with all his heart, I
and he loved people too. He I
chose to follow God's leading I
and travel to China. On the I
way, the young man became |
ill and died. At his bedside, a
note he had written was
found that said, "No reser\'e, I
no retreat and no regrets." He |
had found an abundant life in |
Jesus.
It's time to step out on our I
ovra. Are we willing to give |
everything to Jesus ai '
trust in Him to transform our |
lives and help us to live
abundantly? Are we ready to I
follow Jesus without reserve, |
without retreating, and with- ,
out regrets? .
"Here I am! I stand at the
door and knock. If anyone
hears mvvolce and opens the I
door, I will come in and eat
with him, and he wth ffl^
Students host tsunami aid concert

This Saturday night, the
annual 3-3 basketball tourna-
ment took place at 7:30p.m..
The team Three Shades came
out on top after a long and
dueling SK hours.
Edwin Urbina, Brent Ford
and Claude Mapp made up the
unstoppable threesome. They
started off great by winning
their first four games without a
single loss to put them into the
final round. "I'm tired but it
feels good to win," Urbina said.
"There just wasn't anybody
out there that could touch us"
Mapp said.
A total of 28 men's teams
and no women's teams showed
up to compete. Only one
women s team signed up but
unfortunately they got their
request rn too late.
Each game was 15 minutes
long and were played on half-
court by double elimination.
About ll;30p.m., the crowd
diminished but the games con-
tinued The final four teams
were Uh-oh, Shades, Clutch
and Fresh.
Clutch and Fresh were actu-
ally one team during intramu-
rals, the game was very
intense. Clutch's Chris Bennett
was all over the court making
3's and insane lay-ups.
"We are one team, like a
d.vsfunctional family, said
Fresh's Terrance Burrs Fresh
ended up winning to go up
"gainst Uh-oh.
Uh-oh 4-x, played against
Fresh and won to put them in
the final round with the
Shades. The first game was a
close battle but with 14 seconds
™ on the clock, Rvan Lucht
■nade the final lay-up to end
•he game.
B.v the second and final
game, everyone was exhausted.
™ couldn't tell by the way the
<wo teams were playing. Two
■"mutes into the game, Shades
™re up seven nothing and
managed to stav ahead the
"lole game Ford and Justin

Guest Comtributor
Waffle House won the tip for
the game's first possession. Six
minutes into the first half both
teams were scoreless with back-
to-back turnovers. Waffle's
number 20, Yaisa de Valle, gave
her team their first points with
a drive to the lane, finishing
with an easy lay up.
Later in the first half, Sneaky
Business committed a turnover
that led to a bucket plus a free
throw ft-om House's number 43,
Ken Refem. De Valle scored
another lay up, and soon after,
clapped a three-pointer to put
House up by 10. Sneaky's num-
ber 0, Sara Chase came up with
a magnificent block and a lay up
to add to the score board.
Towards the end of the half,
Sneaky's number 7, Saki
Sonhara served a crossover and
a finger roll with 3:11 left to
bring the game closer. Waffle
House's number 48, May
Anderson came up with a steal
to prevent Sneaky from getting
the last shot
In the second half Sneak\
Busmess raised their defensi\e
tenacity. Waffle House strug-
gled to score making only sLx
points in the entire half. With
8-42 on the clock Sneaky
Busmess subbed in Number 11,
five. However, House's de Valle
added the finishing touch with a
lay up to secure the 19-12 win.
"Somebody had to lose. We
both played a good game. They
Kate Poole who gave Sneaky just had better ball handling
Busmess a three pomter and a and more rebounds over us"
U mper to bnng them within said T.J. Forbes, Sneaky
Business' coach.
Sneaky Business didn't seem
to care about the loss. They
were busy having too much funl
"It's ok if we lost. I love my
team and I had fun. We played
together. We didn't play by our-
selves," said Sonhara.

SA elections
to be held
next Thursday
What started off as a slow
election race with many of the
top SA officers running unop
posed officially sped up
Monday. In what Kari Schultz
director of student semces
called a better year than
most,two candidates will be
running for executive vice presi
dent and three will be runmng
for president
SA elections will be held Feb

Some students aren't enthu
siastic about voting because
they say their vote doesnt
count
"Sometimes I feel Uke they
really can t make a difference,"
said Jon Deckham, a junior
marketmg major.
But not all students agree
•with Deckham
Some people want us to run
the school We work closely with
admimstration on how to make
this place better. We're like a
department of the school and we
try the best we can to make stu-
dent life better," Alan Orrison,
executive vice president.
Some students say they
accept the day-to-day rituals of
the job.
"Ill vote for the person who is
most realistic and honest," said
Erin Duman, a junior nursing
major.
On a small campus like
Southern, it often comes down
to voting for someone you know.
"I wouldn't even be voting if it
wasn't that my ftiend is run-
ning," sa Teenah Gemorah, a
freshman nursing major.
Other students, however, feel [
people rely too much on friendly I
faces instead of voting for a can - ,
didate because of their abihties.
"Students can look past the j
popularity and vote for the per- i
son who stands out for their
abihty," Orrison said.
The current SA wants to
make elections where students
can vote while enjoying a morn-
mg bowl of Lucky Channs by
voting onhne. People can still
vote the old-fashioned way in
booths located in the cafeteria
and student center. However,
students can vote any time at

Delta introduces SimpliFares to Chattanooga
Michelle V.Thomas
SjAFF Whiter
Students looking for plane
tickets for spring break may
be surprised; prices among
major airlines have been
greatly reduced, some as
much as 50 percent.
In January, Delta airlines
introduced a program called
SimpliFares, allowing cus-
tomers to save hundreds of
dollars per ticket. SimpliFares
has changed many things,
including reducing unrestnct-
ed coach fares up to 50 pe"""
cent. Because of this program,
the ticket-change fee dropped
from $100 to $50, no one-way
ticket exceeds $599 and there
is no longer a Saturday-night-
stay requirement. Other air-
lines, like American and U.S.
Airways, joined the trend by
implementing similar plans.
"I think it's a good idea, if
you're going out of business.
It's going to cause others to
lower their fares too," said
Bess Martin, a psychology
major.
According to Delta's Web
site, SimpliFares caused a 300
percent increase in single-day
traffic on Jan. 5, 2005. On
Jan, 6, ticket sales doubled
that of an average day. Thanks
to SimpliFares, ticket sales on
the Web site increased 60 per-
cent the first five days com-
pared to the same period in
2004. For the first time since

made more than $10 million
from ticket sales.
This change came about
partly because of consumers
who were willing to travel to
neighboring airports to
receive cheaper tickets. In
Cincinnati, Delta discovered
they were losing 2,500 pas-
sengers a day to nearby air-
ports. Since the introduc-
tion of SimpHFares,
Cincinnati's traffic has
increased 30 percent said
Gerald A. Grinstein, Delta's
chief executive.
While Delta and other
companies praise the new
fare-lowering programs,
some consumers are not
seeing the benefit.
"I've heard that they're
lowering fare, but I have yet
to see it," said Molly
Schuster, sophomore theol-
ogy major
Schuster flies regularly to
her home in Massachusetts.
Normally, Schuster flies
from Atlanta with Delta,
but she found a cheaper
ticket at the Chattanooga
airport with U.S. Airways.
For college students
struggling to make ends
meet, the idea of cheaper
travel is exciting. Spring
break and summer trips will
be less expensive with the
ales. The

This week, Southern is hosting a
music clinic for the union's academy
Southern has hosted clinics for
many years, alternating between
choral, band and strings clinics.
About 200 students from 10 differ-
ent schools arrived Wednesday to
participate in the intense, two-day
rehearsal period. During the clinic,
the students are slaying in the uni-
versity's dormitories.
"The clinic is a great opportunity
for us to get a read on what students
are out there for Southern and what
their musical talenU are," said Dr.
Scott BaE, Southern's dean of the
School of Music.
The benefit for the students is
that they get to come to hang out
with other kids and do fun
as a group. It's an opportunity for
kids to come visit Southern."
The clinician directing the 200-
student choir is Genevieve Kibble,
choir director at Pacific Union
CoDege.
The students have been practic-
ing the music at their individual
schools for the past few weeks.
"From a clinician's point of view,
the best part is seeing wtat condi-
tion the music comes in when the
kids arrive," said Laurie Minner,
associate professor in the School of
Music and director of Southern's
"You get to take them fitim being
complete strangers and turn them
into a finely-molded ensemble."

Campus Safety issues new visitor parking
Campus Safety designated
Wright Hall south lot for visi-
tor parking to give visitors
more accessibility. Due to
complaints Southern has been
recei\'ing from Visitors and
bthers aboilt finding closer
aod more convenient parking,
the administrative council
voted last semester to create
additional parking to make
visitors feel more welcome
"We strive to have visitor-
friendly parking, ' said David
Houtchens, fire safety techni-
dan for Campus Safety. "This
makes it friendlier, easier and
dearer. Its [good] to have
'dinstments and to improve
»n situations for everyone."

"It makes our campus more
visitor friendly because
Taylor Circle wasn't enough,
and the faculty parking lots
are closest and more easily
accessible," Roddy said.
Southern students have
always had a hard time find-
ing parking during peak hours
of school, and some don't
think that adding visitor park-
ing was a good idea.
"I think students should
come first," said Amy
Wellman, a freshman public
relations major.
Campus Safety has future
plans to have visitor packs.
The pack will include infor-
mation on registering a vehi-
cle and the proper place to
park once they are on campus.
When the visitor's car is
found, Campus Safety wll put
the pack on their car so they
will be sure to get it.
Houtchens said this should
improve the way students
park on campus and make it
clearer if they are presented
with a set of instructions.
The modern language
department hopes students will
learn more about European cul-
ture with the start of their
European film festival next
month in Miller Hall.
This series of films is a con-
tinuation of last semester's
Latino film festival which
looked at immigrants assimilat-
ing into American life.
"I'm a first generation [of
children bom to immigrants],
and it helps you learn what your
parents went through," said
Fabien Samedi, a freshman his-
tory major.
in this next chapter of the
film series started last semes-
ter, the viewers look to under-
stand other cultures. The first
film to be shown is "Le Chateau
de Ma Mere" [My Mother's
Castle], a coming of age film
that shows France at the turn of
the 20th century.
"We wanted students to be
able to see different cultures,
not just from books," said
Carlos Parra, chair of the lan-
guage department. The film
series was started this year
because it is a way of bringing
up immigration issues that
aren't always addressed in text
or classes.
The film festival itself is play-
ing out like one of the very
themes it's bringing up. Some
students had a problem with
the strong language in some of
the films from last semester.
European films, like its culture,
are known to be liberal about
language and nudity. Finding a
film that brings up important
issues in society and passes the
rigid Southern screening
process can be very hard. A
pending film is Jose Luis
Cuerda's "Mariposa"
[Butterfly], a portrait of Spain
before its civil war.
"We try to push students into
new ways of thinking without
pushing their faith," Parra said.
"We hope students will look
beyond the controversial issue
and see the cultural difference."
Films will be shown on Feb
17, March lo, March 24, and
April 7.

Bush reviews budget plan
President Bush sent
Congress a $2.57 trillion
budget plan Monday that
would boost spending on the
military and homeland securi-
ty but seeks spending cuts
across a wide swath of other
government programs. Bush's
budget would reduce subsi-
dies paid to farmers, cut
health programs for poor peo-
ple and veterans and trim
spending on the environment
and education.
"It is a budget that sets pri-
orities," Bush said after a
meetmg with his Cabinet. "It's
a budget that reduces and
elimmates redundancy. It's a
budget that's a lean budget."
"I look forward to explain-
mg to the American people
why we made some of the
requests that we made in our
budget," the president told
reporters.
Joshua Bolten, Bush's
budget director, said, "Are we
gomg to get everything we
asked for? No." But he pre-
dicted Congress would hkely
accept the administration's
broad priorities. He said he
entered the upcoming con-
gressional budget battle with a
"happy spirit."
Bomb at Army
recruitment
center kills 21
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) ____^ ^
A suicide bomber targeted
an army recruitment center
Tuesday, killing 21 other peo-
ple and injuring 27 more, the
U.S. military said. It was the
deadliest attack in the Iraqi
capital since last week's elec-
tion.
There were conflicting
reports about the attack,
which occurred at an Iraqi
National Guard headquarters
at the Muthana airfield. Iraqi
officials blamed the explosion
on mortar fire and officials at
Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital
said they had received 16 bod-
ies from the scene, all of them
army recruits.
Witnesses reported only
one explosion, and the U.S.
military said the blast was
caused by a suicide bomber.

aren't the voices of stu-

six meu surveyed on the
lopic for the SexSource CD-
ROM found in the Human

only are we expected to

that doesn't mean I actually
have to watch homosexuals
having sex. Likewise, I can
understand the implications
of cheating on my wife with-

Is seeing homosexuals
nakedly embrace (as report-

1 Education, p. 57
In President Bush's State of
the Union Address, one of the
things he mentioned was a
desire to change the Social
Security system as we know it.
He wants to make some big
changes to reform the way it
works now, or should we say
"doesn't work" now, and use
personal accounts that we might
be able to better manage our
money.
After reading an article about
it in "The Tennessean," I decid-
ed I would need to do some
research on our Social Security
system. I found out that
Franklin Roosevelt set up Social
Security after the Great
Depression with the aim that it
would soon generate enough
funds to support itself. That was
ui 1935, and now 70 years later,
we are still using the same sys-
tem, and it is still not supporting
itself.
In the time of the Great
Depression and the recovery
aftenvards, our nation as a
whole needed the reassurance
that we would be able to become
a strong economic power once
again. President Roosevelt's
Social Security plan was part of
the "New Deal" he and his advi-
sors constructed to help our
nation back on its feet. In my
opinion, we are on our feet now.
We should be able to take care
of our own, and the government
should not be taking care of our
When you injure your ankle,
you use crutches until your foot
has healed, then you begin to
walk again, and once you are
healed, you stop using the
crutches. I believe it is time that
we stop using the crutches of
Social Security and we begin
walking on our own. Before the
Depression, we all took care of
our own elderly; why can't we
do that again? Wliat makes us
tiiink that our government owes
us our livelihood? The govern-
ment was not designed to be
able to handle the strain of us
leaning so heavily on her. If we
do not take steps to walk on our
own once again, we will cripple
the very nation we have fought
so hard to build.

remember that Social Security is supposed
to be a guaranteed monthly check, not a

President Bush also hasn't disclosed all of
thedetailsofhisplan. He convenienUy left
out the part where benefits get cut by 46%
and budget deficits continue to skyrocket.
While the president may be mistaken
about the details of the future of Social
Secunt^•, he is right that something needs to
be done. The real problem lies not with who
has control of the Social Security funds; it
lies ivith who pays into the system. Rjght
now the only income that is taxed for Soaal
Secu'nty is the income under $90,000. The
poor aild middle class are taxed on 100% of
their income, whUe Uie rich only pay on the
first ninety grand Is that fair?
Consider this; if everyone were taxed
equally for Social Security, there wouldn t be
a crisis at all.

sttuggle has been to make his words corre-
^with reality. He invented a tale abou
w^pons of mass destruction m Iraq We
beUeved him. He was wrong. He beat us
over the head with the link he mvented
between Saddam Hussein and Osama bm
I^den. WebeUevedhim. He was wtxing^
Now he's back to the lab to create a
plkenstein out of his social Security lies.
Will we believe him?
Last week we began looking at a topic
that, at first glance, seems ahnost trivial.
Is our nation a democracy? After consid-
ering a number of statements from
American leaders, boUi past and present,
we discovered that our founding fathers
were actually quite adamant that democ-
racy was a dangerous form of govern-
ment. Today, however, America is univer-
sally viewed as a democracy.
Ironically, it was the Republican
Party's consolidation of federal power
over the Confederate states after the Civil
War that really began this slow change.
Then, as Representative Ron Paul
explained in the speech I referenced last
week, "Chronic concern about war and
economic downturns - events caused by
an intrusive government's failure to fol-
low the binding restraints of the
Constitution - allowed majority demands
to supersede the rights of the minority.
That right there is the inherent danger
of a democracy - the replacement of
Consritutional Ihnitarions with the rale of
the majority. As time has passed, the
growing demands of the majonty have
required the government to take on more
and more responsibiUty. Ordmary citi-
zens give their freedoms up to the gov-
ernment and courts, and the people who
created this democraric institution
become marginalized by special interests,
bureaucracy, and corruption. Like Dr.
Frankenstein, the public has unknowing-
ly created a monster - one that is impos-
sible to control. We can see the effects all
around us. in the policies of both
Democrats and Republicans. Constantly
increasing tax burdens, a meddlesome
foreign policy, a currency that is ever
harder to manage - these all come from a
government that has forgotten the princi-
ples it was built upon, and instead seeks
to do whatever it feels is best for the
omnipotent "majority."
With the knowledge we have about
last-day events, we should he more con-
cerned than anyone else about what has
been happening to our nation. Terrorists
are the enemy today; what happens when
we arc the enemy? "The Bill of Rights
ensures freedom of religion!" you answer.
But when a government is ruled by the
majority, it doesn't matter what the Bill of
Rights says. That was then; this is now.
The majority has new issues they want to
deal with. If you don't believe it, read the
Constitution yourself and see how many
of its other limitarions are being ignored
by our government today. The soluHon is
not among the Democrats, nor is it being
promoted by Republicans. As
Representative Paul suggests, we need a
government that will return to the limita-
tions that Constitutional law sets upon it.
yet, from our understanding of prophecy,
as well as history, it doesn't appear that
mil happen. The question is, are you
ready? It's not as far away as you think.

Dr. Clouzet
conducts Holy
Spirit Seminar
Dr. Ron Clouzet, chair of
the religion department, is
conducting a seminar on the
baptism of the Holy Spirit.
"It is an opportunity for
people to come and seek God
at deeper levels than they
have before," Clouzet said.
The weekend seminar will
be held from Feb. u to Feb.
13 in Hackman Hall, room
215.
During the weekend, stu-
dents will learn what baptism
by the Holy Spirit means,
when it will happen, its pur-
pose and what the conditions
and obstacles are. They will
also learn the difference
between being filled with the
Holy Spirit and being bap-
tized by the Holy Spirit.
The weekend will include
fasting, singing, testimonies
and prayer and will be more
intense than other retreats.
"I believe God can do very
special things, especially in
the lives of young adults
because they have the stami-
na to spend a weekend doing
this," Clouzet said.
Clouzet has given similar
seminars, including one at
Loma Linda. Although it was
a shortened version, many
people stayed later, and
Clouzet saw dozens of people
giving everything to Christ.
Clouzet has also given
these seminars at church 1

Championship title Wednesday
night at lies P.E Center.
Mittan scored mne second half-
points to end with 15, leadmg the
Big Bailers to a 33-29 victory over
Lad\ Fresh. Trailing 13-17 at the
end of the first half, Mittan took
control of the game.
"I was kuid of getting angry, and
I plav better when I'm fhistrated,"
Mittan said
The Big Bailers won the tip-off
and scored the first four points.
After that, it was Udy Fresh's
'^hovs Led by Jaela Carter who
grabbed six rebounds and scored
sevenpomts. Lady Fresh out-hus-
tled Big Bailers, forcing them to
turnover the ball eight tunes in the
first half. Despite this Lady Fresh
held on to a sUm four-point lead at
halftime.
The Big Bailers came out blaz-
ing in the second half Mittan
scored the first fourpomts to bring
the Bailers within one. Bailers' Erin
Lundquist then hit a jump shot off
a beautiful no-look pass from
Evelyn Lopez to put the Big Bailers
up hy one. The Bailers went on an
8-0 run to increase their lead to 25-
i8 with just over nine minutes left
on the dock, but the Bailers never
trailed again.
Up 30-26 with less than three
minutes left. Big Bailers received a
technical foul for an illegal substi-
tution. This sent Fresh's Amy
Lrach to the free throw Ime, but
Lynch made only one of t^vo shots.
Big Bailer's guard Evelyn Lopez
drove to the basket to score a lay up
and Mittan scored a free throw to
seal the win.
Big Bailer's starting guard
Joceiyn Jones chipped in with 10
points while Erin Lunquist came
off the bench to scoTe six points,
including a beautiful fast break
spin move that sparked the Bailer's
comeback early in the second half.
Lady Fresh's captain Jaela
Carter led her team with nine
points and 10 rebounds, while
starting guard Heidi Evans helped
out with five. Carter said her
team's lack of substitutions led to
fatigue which cost them the game.
"I think we just got tired, we
only had one subbing in compared
to the other team who had three,"
Carter said. Carter was held to just
2 points and 3 rebounds in the sec-

Mittan, the Big Bailers captam,

CoUegedale
holds city
elections
On Tuesday, March i,
CoUegedale residents and prop-
erty owners can cast their votes
for three seats on the City
Commission.
Incumbents Jim Ashlock,
Fred Fuller, and Tim Johnson
along with Harr>' Hodgdon are
vying for the three seats.
Early voting began Feb. 9
and continues through Feb. 24.
The locations for early voting
are the Hamilton County
Election Commission Office in
Chattanooga, the Brainerd
Recreation Center on North
Moore Road, and Northgate
Mall.
Jan. 28 was the last day to
register to vote in person.
Hodgdon is the only chal-
lenger to the three elected in
2001.
"I certainly feel I can do a
better job than the three
incumbents," Hodgdon said. :
He said he would work to get
rid of special interests, keep I
subdivision developers |
accountable, and decrease the
cit/s involvement in neighbor-
hood appearance.
The incumbents are running
on their record, including the
reduction of property taxes, the
elimination of ticket quotas,
and the addition of 10 new
police cars, Ashlock said.
The commission ah-eady has
plans for a financially self-suffi-
cient city sewerage system and
completing phases four and five
of the greenway project.
Ashlock said the City
Commission has no plans or
projects directed at college-age |
residents, but they have a plan
for a senior citizens' park.
"We talk over things in our
workshops, so when it comes
time to vote, we get it done,"
Ashlock said.
But Hodgdon said he has dif-
ferent priorities.
"If it came down to a youth
center or a seniors' center, it
would be the youth center,"
Hodgdon said. "But I would put
the city's functional needs
before special interest proj-
ects."

Human Sexuality class CD sparks petition
Every year, the Human
Sexuality class raises questions at
Southern, but this year a student
started a petition to change the
materials used in the class.
Sophomore theology major
Matthew Lucio started the petition
because he said the CD that comes
with the textbook used in the class
is inappropriate.
"Seeing lesbians sitting in a
room talking about how their les-
bian partners can best please them
is not educational," Lucio said
Students currently taking

Southern partners with community colleges
The School of Social Work
and Family Studies have made
the first step to begin a two year
program where students from
Chattanooga State Technical
Community College and
Cleveland State Community
College can finish their bachelor
of social work degree under
Southern's program.
On Jan. 4, the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools gave their approval and
the department is now waiting
for approval from the Council
on Social Work and Education.
Chattanooga State originally
had an agreement with the
University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga where students
who had graduated from the
Human Services Specialist pro-
gram could continue their edu-
cation by taking a bachelor's in
social work at UTC. But after
UTC lost their accreditation,
Chattanooga State had to find
somewhere else to go.
"With the closure of the UTC
program, it left [Chattanooga
State] graduates without an
option to complete the BSW
degree without d-aveling at least
200 miles round trip to other
four >ear schools said Katie

will allow students from

colleges and then take their last
two years at the Chattanooga

under Southern faculty.
The curriculum for the last
two years will be exactly the
same as the third and fourth
years at Southern, including the
religion requirements.
These classes will be offered

ticipating, leaving some
Southern students upset that
they are paying full price for
their degree. But other students
feel that it would be a good way
to witness to the community.
This will give a Christian
viewpoint on social work to
those who would normally just
get a secular view," said Michael
Lawrence, sophomore social
work major.
Eight to 10 students are
expected to participate in the
first year of the partnership and -
10 to 15 after the program has
started. Summer 2005 has been
projected for the program to
begin.
"As long as there is a need in
the community. Southern will
provide the program," said
Valerie Radu, director of
Southern's social work program.
Student Association holds talent auditions
nie student Association will
be holding talent show audi-
tions Feb. 22 in preparation for
the upcoming program.
Kan Shultz, du-ector of stu-
dent life and activities, said
while people have to audition
and meet the standards of
Southern Adventist University,
she is hoping to have at least 12
acts for the upcoming talent
'The talent shows in the past
were great because of the quali-
ty of the production and the
diversity," said Kenneth Victor,
black Christian union president
Student's feelings seem to be
mbied when it comes to the
recent auditions. Brehon Davis,
freshman chemistry major, said
he will not consider auditioning
because he is afraid of negative
feedback and singing alone in
front of crowds.
Others seemed enthusiastic
about the show. Amner
Fernandez, junior political sci-
ence major, ex-pressed interest
in participating.
"I want to participate in the
talent show, I might even do a
magic act," Fernandez said.
Students interested in audi-
tioning for the student
Association Talent Show can go
to Mabel Wood Hall, Feb. 22, at

Southern phone system in trouble
Many students and faculty
were crippled earlier this month
when part of the university's
phone system went down for a
couple days. Information
Systems did not have the part
needed to fix the phone system
on hand and had to order it. The
part that was needed is no
longer produced or supported
by the manufacturer, so it tool;
several days to get the part.
"We have designed the old
system differently and [it]
should be OK," said Doru
Mihaescu. the associate director
of Information Systems.
Southern currently has two
phone systems: an older system,
running on Mitel equipment,
and a newer system, running on
Cisco equipment. The new
phone system uses Voice over
Internet Protocol (VOIP), and
runs over our existing network.

This system was implement-

l^Z Vice President for advancement
Arriving in the United
States three weeks ago \vith
his wife and two daughters,
Christopher D. Carey will
tal(e office as the new vice
president for advancement
at Southern on Feb. 21.
"I have been asked to go
many places, but one thing
that drew me to Southern
was the fulfillment of their
mission," Carey said. There
is no doubt that Carey is
qualified for this position.
For the past five years,
Carey has been serving as the
vice president for advance-
ment at Valley View
University in Ghana, Africa,
With many other responsi-
bilities, he was in charge of
the physical planning for a
300-acre campus and served
as liaison officer for building
construcUon. Prior to that,
he was the co-director of
development and director of
corporate and foundation
relations at Andrews
University in Michigan.
At Southern, Carey will be
mainly in charge of fundrais-
ing. The job descripfion enti-
tles him to obtain scholar-
ships, grants, and campaigns
in raising money for the
school through charitable
donations.
"We hope he brings
money," said Becky Djernes,
administrative assistant for
advancement.
With enthusiasm and
experience, Carey has set
aside his time and the use of
his abilities to help expand
the advancement office to its
greatest potential.
He will also be responsible
for the offices of advance-
ment, alumni, development,
and planned giving, which
are currently under the lead-
ership of the acting vice
president for advancement,
Carolyn Hamilton.
"I love Adventist educa
tion, and I plan to build
upon the people in the office
and use their good talents to
put the pieces together,"
Carey said.
Chrw Carey will take office
February 2t as the new vice
president for advaDcement.
Senior class raises money for tsunami victims
Valentine's Day has long
been observed as a holiday for
lovers, but the senior class
focused their attention on
sharing love with those who
have lost everything.
On Feb. 14, Jim Burrus,
manager of the Village
Market, allowed his store to
become a center for the distri-
bution of candy grams by sen-
ior class members. All of the
donations received from the
grams went to the Adventist
Development and Relief
Agency tsunami fund.
Brandon Yap, senior busi-
ness administration major,
and Morgan Kochenower,
senior theology major, greet-
ed customers as they entered
the market and encouraged
them to donate to the cause.
The fundraiser also inspired
acts of kindness, with one
woman asking Yap to deliver a
candy gram to her grand-
daughter.
Students spent much of
their day at several other dis-
tribution sites, including the
women's dorm and cafeteria.
Melissa Turner, senior jour-
nalism major, did not allow
the rainy morning to stop her
from distributing candy on
the promenade.
The candy grams included
products donated from Mckee
Foods and Winn Dixie, along
with several boxes filled with
cookies contributed by The
Fresh Market. Seniors worked
side by side vrith their class
sporlsors Lisa Diller and
David Wentworth days before
to assemble the candy grams.
The senior class received
more than $800 to send to
ADRA. Their funds were com-
bined with those raised by the
Student Association and sent
to ADRA Bureau Chief Tereza
Byrne. ADRA was recently
asked to take over the water
and sanitation component
during the rebuilding of
schools in Indonesia.
Senior Class Vice President
Flo Merryman was thrilled
with the way her class chose
to celebrate Valentine's Day.

respects to the victims of the
crash.
"We saw it as a tribute to

Eric Kenton, a senior mass
communication major with a
media production emphasis, is
transferring the entire memori-
al service to DVD. The school
plans to give a master copy of
the service to the conference.
Henton hopes to complete the
DVD by the middle of

"What we did as a school in
taking our equipment down to

least we could do," Ruf said.
"Jamie loved telling stories in

Infant claimed
by nine couples
KalMuwai, Sri Lamka(AP)
"Baby 81," the infant claimed
by nine couples after he miracu-
lously survived the tsunami, was
reunited with his parents
Wednesday in the joyous con-
clusion to an agonizing custody
battle that captured hearts
aroimd the world.
Smiling with relief, Jenita
Jeyarajah took the baby from a
doctor's arms in a courtroom
packed with onlookers after the
judge said DNA tests confirmed
the baby is her 4-month-oId son
Abilass.
"Look how happy he is! He
knows the scent of his parents!"
gushed the father, Murugupillai
Jeyarajah. "After returning to
us, he still hasn't cried."
The couple went straight
from the court to a Hindu tem-
ple to give thanks for their son's
return and smash a coconut in
ritual fulfillment of a vow.
Relatives joined them, chanting
prayers and raising their hands
in worship as the father carried
the child around the shrine.
It was just the first of many
temples the couple planned to
visit Wednesday.
The relieved parents also
paid a brief visit to the rubble of
their home, where the raging
waters snatched the boy from
his mother's arms on Dec. 26.
He was later found on a
beach among bodies and debris
and taken to the Kalmunai hos-
pital.
Baby 81, so-called because he
was the day's 8ist admission,
was quickly claimed by nine
couples, including the
Jeyarajahs, symbolizing the
anguish of thousands of families
who lost children in the disaster.

Prior Lebanese Prime Minister killed
•, Lebanon (AP)
Rafik Hariri, a billionaire who helped rebuild his country after
decades of war but resigned as prime minister last fall after a
sharp dispute with Syria, was killed Monday in a massive bomb
explosion that tore through his motorcade. At least nine other
people were killed and 100 wounded in the blast. It raised
immediate fears that Lebanon __ largely peaceful since the 1990
end of its civil war _ was headed toward a new and bloody chap-

troops in the country.

funeral into a spontaneous rally against Syria. Along the funeral

Alathea knows what life is all about
My review this week will be
on an album that is a few
years old but deserves to be
recognized: a great group that
has a fun, soft feel to it. Their
name is Alathea - derived
from the Greek word which
means "truth".
Alathea's third album to
date, "What Light is all
About," was released almost
exactly two years ago, March
4, 2003, but is still well worth
the review. Besides, I need
some diversity in the genres
that I critique. Alathea's style,
according to them, is
"Popalachian music" or
"Appalachian Pop." Sounding
like Allison Krauss and the
undtrack to
Thou?" I don't want you to be
scared by words like, "pop," or

Big Debbie: Valentine's Day rage
Dear Big Debbie,
Is it wrong that Valentine's
Day made me want to grab
Cupid's arrows, cxcliange tliem
for exploding darts, and fire
them at every single couple and
all things red or pink?
Raging at Red
Dear Raging at Red,
Wliile your feelings seem to
be a little violent. I cjui uniler-
stand what you must be going
through- I too was single and
lonely at one time. Let me tell
you, seventh grade was tlic worst
year of my life. The truth is, we
all feel cynical sometimes,
whether we liappen to be dating
or not. There will always be flam-
boyant couples who drape them-
selves around eacli otlier in lob-
bies or on tlic promenade, mak-
ing life less tlian comfortable for
the rest of us. Valentine's Day,
with its emphasis on love, warm
fiizzy feelings, and most of all,
spending lots of money on roses
and chocolate, can seem a little
shallow. For instance, China also
celebrates Valentine's Day,
which is called Lover's Day. One
Chinese man bought 365 roses
for his true love (one for each day
of the year, apparently), costing
him $600 in U.S. currency. On
the female side, who hasn't had
the urge to sneak around the
front desks and make sure no
one else got a bigger bouquet?
Nevertheless, the day of love
should not be about comparing. I
encourage you to look beyond
the hype and see the day for what
it really is: a national holiday
designed to squeeze every drop
of expendable income out of hus-
bands and boyfriends in a vain
attempt to prove they are roman-
tic and spontaneous once a year.

— gone to take
a test thinking, "What else
could I possibly know? I know
EVERYTHING in that chap-
ter!" If there's one piece of wis-
dom I could give vou mv
friend, it would be this: some-
times everything just isn't
enough. A good student does-
n't only trek up 91 stairs before
the rooster crows to absorb a
lecture when every sane per-
son is asleep. A good student
doesn't just study every word
on the bulging package of
study notes the teacher hands
out at the beginning of the
semester. A good student
doesn't cram one gazillion
pieces of information from a
mammoth textbook that occu-
pies roughly 65% of their
JanSport. No, that is definitely
not a good student. How could
they even dare to think those
pitiful attempts at diligence
could come close to being
enough? They will most cer-
tainly flunk their exam,
because a good student will
not only do all those things,
but will utilize the cover,
index, preface, and appendix
of the textbook as well.
Does this sound familiar?
The 'morning after a night of
review (aka "cramming"), you
find yourself sitting wth a
piece of paper numbered one
through fifty, covered with
some unintelligible letters,
pondering, "Did I miss some-
thing?" Your mind wanders in
blank circles. You marvel at
where the professors find
those little blood-sucking,
mind-boggling bits of tmia.
Who would have fathomed
that the information written in
1847 by the presfigious Gerard
G. Haskelbruns found in the
margin of page 591 of your
textbook would have been so
blasted important! And after
all you went through, pouring
your heart and soul into those
three chapters of A&P, how
could you have forgotten the
step that converted biliverdin
to bilirubin - and what does
that have to do with jaundice?
Why can't everything ever
be enough?
Day after day I am loaded
with more projects, more
homework, more tests. No
matter how hard I try, I find
myself wallowing in a bed of
frustration and self-pity. "It's
not fair!" I complain. "I can't
understand what the teacher's
trying to say and I don't know
what to expect on my exam." It

Only once has the United States of
America ever lost a war: Vietnam. Since
the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam,
there has been much speculation about
why the United States lost the war. It is
my contention that a major cause of the
loss in Vietnam was the ideas and
philosophies of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
To say Rousseau, an l8th century
French philosopher, caused the
American loss in Vietnam may sound
like a stretch. Rousseau's philosophies
were widely scrutmized during his life-
time. It was not until the 1960s that
many people accepted and practiced his
philosophies. One of Rousseau's basic
philosophies was that everyone should
follow their o^vn distinctive moral course.
At the beginning of the 1950s, America
consisted of the "greatest generation."
Living through the Great Depression and
WWII, this generation knew tlie value of
hard work and perseverance. Perhaps the
only flaw of the greatest generation was
that it did not repeatitself. Their children
found external mles of morality senseless
and oppressive. This "counterculture"
didn't reject morality; they redefined it.
However, their concept of morality was
answering to their inner-self, an idea that
sprang from Rousseau's wntings.
The premise of the Vietnam War was
to stop the spread of communism m
Southeast Asia. The United States
believed communism was morally wrong
and dangerous. So we went to war to stop
the spread of communism.
The cultural change of the early 1960s
happened at the beginning of the
Vietnam War. Hippies saw the American
invasion of Vietnam as an imposing of
American morals onto the Vietnamese.
So the hippies went to war, not against
Vietnam, but against tlie war in Vietnam.
They protested, marched on Washington,
wrote books and papers, and did anytliing
in their power to stop the war. It is diffi-
cult to win a war without the support of a
majority of the country. Hippies were not
the majority of Americans; they were the
ones who made the news.
Rousseau's philosophies and the
1960s generation's embracement of
those philosopliies didn't single-handed-
ly cause tlie loss in Vietnam. However, I
believe that the major cause of the loss
was the perceived lack of support. This
lack of support was due to a steady
decline in the idea of traditional values
and the acceptance of individually
defined morality based on the inward-
looking philosophies of Rousseau.
Those who accepted this had no inter-
est in sacrificing for the defense of
freedom in foreign lands. The 1960s
generation embraced the ideas of
Rousseau which ultimately led to the
abandonment of Wetnam and adjacent
countries to the horrors of a

I Carter dominated the
rebounding all night.
"They are like the Twin

said professor of physical edu-

were not enough to stop the

hard, they were unrelenting.
"It was a good game. I
enjoyed playing the sopho-

The night's announcer was
the talented Russell Atkins
whose wit was very entertain-
ing. For the halftime show,
Melvin Taylor and Abner
Sanchez were comically
dressed and dispersing
Southern memorabilia to the
enthusiastic crowd. Taylor
was in a long, black wig and
Sanchez in a big afro. When
asked what look he was going
for, Taylor replied, "I am
going for pretty." As another
part of halftime there were
shooting competitions from
members of the audience.
Royce Brown won the 3 point
shot, Kelly Mittan won the
free throw, and Justin Carter
made the amazing half-court
shot \vinning a $50 gift card to

battled out the second game of

off the game with the lead but
at the end of the first half the
juniors were up by 9. In the
second half, neither team was
more than 4 points ahead of
the other as they fought for
the lead. The score was 67-69

The city of CoUegedale and
Southern are planning new
additions to the CoUegedale
greenway.
"I'm very excited about the
greenway project," said S.imi
Jo Church, a junior nursing
major. "It's a great place to
get exercise and socialize."
CoUegedale will begin
phase four of their greenway
project, which will extend the
greenway to the Robinson
Farms subdivision, said City
Engineer Joe Farrow.
Southern officials consid-
ered connecting the
Promenade walkway, but are
currently building a sidewalk
along University Drive that
will link the greenway to the
existing sidewalk on Harmony
The greenway currently
starts at the Imagination
Station and ends about two
miles later in Kiwanis Park.
"I think it's a really awe-
some idea to connect
Southern to the community,"
said Amanda Mohr, a sopho-
more nursing major. "We can
reach out to people; I think
that's what we are here for."
Southern is currently look-
ing at safety and parking to
handle the path's addition,
said Dale Bidwell, Southern's
senior vice-president of finan-
cial administration.
Further construction will
not begin until the contractor
of phase three completes
clean-up and attends to minor
details.
Construction is expected to
begin before the end of 2005.
The greenway attracts
many people from around the
Andrea Kech, a Harrison
resident, said she comes to the
greenway mainly because her
nephew likes to ride his tricy-

Don Lastine, a CoUegedale
resident since 1976, has

Students elect new leaders
Eric Henton
On Thursday, Feb. 17, 925
students voted in the Student
Association general election.
The SA election is held
every year to elect three of the
next year's top officers.
Students voted for the new
president, executive vice pres-
ident and social vice president.
Seth Gillham won the presi-
dent position over David Beihl
and James Reynaert. receiving
76 percent of the votes. Justin
Moore won over Hugo Mendez
for executive vice president
with 58 percent of the votes.
And Melissa Sanchez won
against Heidi Evans for social
vice president with 49 percent
of the votes.
Alan Orrison, current exec-
utive vice president, believes
the new officers are a good
match.
"I think the team that has
been elected will work very
well together," he said. "They
seem to already have some
chemistry."
With about 2,500 students
at Southern, about 37 percent
voted in the election.
"The turnout was not the
highest we have ever had, but
it was close," said Kari Shultz,
director of student life and
activities. "I think that voting
on-line really makes it conven-
ient for students to vote."
American students pay more for textbooks
Trevor Fulmer
National textbook publish-
ers are charging American
students more money for
books than students in foreign
countries. College textbook
purchasers, including the
Campus Shop, are vulnerable
to these high prices.
"We can only reduce the
price [of books] so much to
cover the cost of shipping and
production," said Campus
Shop textbook purchaser
Bonnie Myers.
A hardback economics
book in the United States is
sold for $118.97, but the same
paperback book in Britain
sold is for $54. To publish a
hardback costs about $2 more
than a paperback, according
to an article in The Miami
Herald.
Southern students were
angry to learn about the high
cost of textbooks to American
students.
"I think it's unfair that poor
American college students are
charged higher prices than
students in foreign countries,"
said Brooke Bailey, a senior
biology major. "Publishers
should charge everyone the
same amount regardless of
where you're from."
Not only are American stu-
dents being charged more
than students overseas for the said Thomas Bartlett in a
same books, but publisher's recent article in The Chronicle
print new editions of books Daily News,
that are nearly identical to "If the facts and mforma-

while jogging, on New Year's

"I didn't walk my first day
{back from the hospital}, but
the next day I was back out
there," Lastine said. "I just
like the fresh air."
For people like Lastine and
Krech, there is more to come.
The city is looking to
expand the greenway more in
the future, City Engineer
Farrow said. Phase five will
connect the Harrington
Estates subdivision to Kiwanis
Park. Other future plans
include extending the path
south from the Imagination
Station and from Kiwanis Park
along Apison Pike to the
McKee baking plant.

Fuller, Hodgdon, Johnson win Collegedale election
In the March i Collegedale
municipal election, incum-
bents Fred Fuller, Tim
Johnson and newcomer Harry
Hodgdon won the commis-
sioner positions.
The results of the election
are mformal until the
Hamilton County Election

later this week.
Johnson received 288 votes.
Fuller 263, Hodgdon 260 and
Ashlock got 253 votes. There
were 63 write-in votes but no
provisional ballets. According
to the Hamilton county Web
site, seven out of the eight
precincts reported their
results.
Fuller, Johnson, and
Ashlock were elected to the
commission in March 2001.
One of the first things the
commissioners plan to do is to

The Association of

tack bv saying new editions of
textbooks are necessary for
students who want to be cur-

tion. They insist new books
lie issued only when they are
[ducationally necessary.
The National Association of
allege Stores is confronting
je high costs of textbooks.
The NACS plans yearly con-
ventions where these issues
aie dealt with and sometimes
resolved.
Although the high cost of
textbooks is not a new con-
tept, it is still important. This
is often discussed at our con-
vention, said Rita Wohlers,
Campus Shop manager. We
hope that publishers will see
the effects it has on students
and college stores.

Break dancing, Oprah
Winfrey and raffle tickets
helped make Southern's Black
History Month fun.
"It was really awesome,"
said Brittany Ostrander, a
freshman nursing major. "At
the Black Arts Festival you
could just see God shining
through the performers, and I
appreciated that."
This February, the Black
Christian Union hosted
speakers and held activities.
Dean Emil Peeler, director of
Open Bible Ministries;
Sabrina Coleman Clark, a
singer and story teller; and a
Black Arts Festival have filled
the month so far. The empha-
sis has been on cultural diver-
sity.
"Black History Month is
more than just black people,"
said Sharon Michaels, a fresh-
man elementary education
major. "It stresses all differ-
ent cultures, which is impor-
tant."
Clark came on Feb. 3 for
convocation and told the story
of Marian Anderson and her
quest to be the first African
American to sing at the
Metropolitan Opera House.
Clark sang different songs
throughout the program relat-
ing to Marian's experiences.
Peeler spoke on Feb. 4, and
many students responded to
his sermon about Zaccheus.
"He had a unique perspec-
tive, and I like how he really
picked apart the story of
Zaccheus," said Frank
Farkash, a sophomore nurs-
ing major.

According to Michaels, the
number of students who came

"We expected around 200
people, but there were at least

great to see," Michaels said.

Stranded
hikers
airlifted in
Gatlinburg
Oatumbuho, Tehh. (AP)
Park rangers rescued four
hikers stranded in snow
along the Appalachian Trail
Wednesday, using a helicop-
ter to airlift one suffering
from hypothermia to a hos-
pital.
The sick hiker, Matthew
Shultz, was in good condi-
tion after he was sent to
University of Tennessee
Medical Center in Knoxville
as a precaution. Great Smoky
Mountains National Park
spokesman Bob Miller said.
The others, Ivan
Saldarriaga, Brian Hendrick
and Ryan McCall, were well
enough to walk out of the
mountains with rangers after
spending the night huddled
in a three-sided shelter. The
hikers, ages 18-20, are from
North Carolina but their
hometowns were not
released.
Three rangers, one a
medic, set out at 7 a.m. by
all-terrain vehicle and foot
and reached the four about 4
1/2 hours later. After tend-
ing to the ill man, the
riintierH set out with the
uth^T ihree hikers for the
lii^ht-niik- trek to the park's
Treniont Institute.
The men started out at
Fontana Lake, N.C., during
good weather on Sunday
with plans to hike the 71
miles of the Appalachian
Trail in the park. But they
were ill-equipped when it
began to rain Monday and
then turned to snow, park
spokeswoman Nancy Gray
About 8. inches of snow
was on the ground where the
stranded party was found by
six backpacking students
from Messiah College in
Grantham, Pa., about noon
Tuesday. Four of the back-
packers stayed behind while
two others went for help.
Gray said the hikers took
cover at the Derrick Knob

in Sevier County. Tenn.,

National Park straddles the
border between North

Gambino crime family busted
Hew York (AP)
The acting boss of the
Gambino family and at least 30
other mob figures were arrest-
ed after an undercover FBI
agent posing as a wiseguy infil-
trated the Mafia with an act so
convincing he was considered
for membership, authorities
said Wednesday.
Among those arrested was
Arnold "Zeke" Squitieri, who
allegedly took over as acting
Gambino boss after Peter Gotti
was convicted last year. Also
facing racketeering charges is
reputed underboss Anthony
"The Genius" Megale.
Prosecutors said Squitieri,
Megale and other defendants
made millions of dollars ]
through extortion, loanshark-
ing, illegal gambling and other
crimes during the past decade.
Some of the crimes were plot-
ted at a nursing home, court
papers said.
Pasquale D'Amuro, head of
the FBI's New York office, said
the undercover agent made
hundreds of secret recordmgs
revealing the family's inner
workings
It was a feat not seen since
FBI agent Joe Pistone pene-
trated the Bonanno family 25
years ago under the alias
Donnie Brasco, he said Like
Brasco, the agent "was told by
a high-ranking member of the
crime family that he would be
proposed for induction,"
D'Amuro said
"Had we left him out on the
street much longer, the
Gambino family ranks would
actually have increased by
one," D'Amuro said.
The unidentified agent
"risked his life as a mole for the
better part of two years," said
U.S. Attorney David Kelley.

Washington (AP)
Crowded schools, traffic-

an analysis by civil engineers

A report by the American

The overall grade slipped

The Senate marched
Wednesday toward passage of

Democratic opponents made

they said were especially hurting

Not a dent was made in the
legislation, which was armor-

Syria withdraws from Lebanon
Beirut, Lebanon (AP)
Bolstered by a massive pro-
Syrian demonstration,
Lebanese allies of Syria moved
Wednesday to reinstate the
prime minister, who recently
was forced out by anti-
Damascus protests. Their
action ensures Syria's contin-
ued dominance of Lebanese
politics.
Outgoing Prime Minister
Omar Karami was virtually
assured nomination after 71
legislators put forward his
name during consultations with
pro-Syrian President Emile
Lahoud, parliament members
said. Under the constitution,
the president is obliged to com-
ply with the choice of a majori-
ty of the 128-member parlia-
Syria is keen to keep its hold
on its neighbor's decision-mak-
ing as it puUs its 14,000 forces
back to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley
and negotiates ivitii the govern-
ment in Beirut on the troops'
ftill removal at a later date. As
part of die puUback, forced by
international pressure, Syrian
soldiers evacuated Lebanese
positions in tiie north and cen-
tral mountains Wednesday.
Long convoys of Syrian
trucks and buses headed east
on mountain roads and soldiers
evacuated the northern port of
Tripoli, witnesses reported. In
some cases, Lebanese soldiers
quickly took over the Syrian
bases. In north Lebanon's
Batroun district, local residents
cheered and waved Lebanese
flags as the Syrians departed.
President Bush kept up the
intense campaign against
Damascus, saying Wednesday
that Syria's troop withdrawal
plans are just "a half measure"
and that Syrian intelligence
services exercise "heavy hand-
ed" influence in Lebanon's gov-
ernment.
"One tiling a lot of people
don't understand is Syrian
influence is heavy handed
through the involvement of
intelligence services through-
out die government," die presi-
dent said in a brief question-
and-answer session in die Oval
Office. "And they must remove
both for die election to be free."

Lebanon's pro-Syrian prime mmister, who was forced to resign

A formal announcement by President Emile Lahoud, who con-
sulted mth legislators, may be made as early as Wednesday

In Its bluntest criticism yet of the Irish Republican Army, the
Bush administration told the IRA it should disband foUowmg
the outlawed group's offer to shoot four men-including two
recently expelled members-responsible for killing a Catholic
civilian Wednesday's call from the U.S. envoy to Northern

Jackson accuser challenged
Saht* Maria, Calir (AP)
The brother of Michael Jackson's accuser was hammered by
more cross-examination Wednesday, and said key points in his
testimony contradicted an earlier account because "I was nerv-
ous when I did the interview." The 14-year-old boy testified this
week that he twice saw his sleeping brother being molested by
Jackson, both times by walking upstairs into Jackson's bedroom
at the singer's Neveriand ranch.
GAO says no crisis in social security
WA3HIN0TOW (AP>
Social Security "does not face an immediate crisis," the head of
the Government Accountability Office said Wednesday, but it
does face a long-term financing problem "and it would be pru-
dent to address it sooner rather than later." David M. Walker,
who heads the nonpartisan Office of Comptroller General, also
criticized President Bush for undertaking an aggressive two-
month tour to try to sell his plan for allowing younger workers
to divert a portion of their Social Security payroll taxes into pri-
vate investment accounts. Walker suggested that Bush and
members of Congress focus on improving financing for the pro-
gram, which would not be significantly affected by establish-
ment of personal accounts.

The Ellen I never knew - Part II
gift to us lies in her own rela
tionship with God. Her books
Last week I clarified that and stories are merely the
Ellen White was, in fact, not wellspring flowing out of that
what she is often perceived to relationship. To hear her say
be. I looked at what she said early on that she lived to see
about drama and theaters and Jesus smile speaks volumes
how she was championing the about her. To know that this
principle of the matter rather was her motivation every time
than some blanket statement she wrote about things like
that all drama and theaters theaters and music helps us
are evil. Ellen White was keep what she said in the
more concerned with the proper context. In other
words, while she is famous for
giving moral guidelines to
help guard us from tempta-
tion, we need to recognize
that she did it out of a sincere
desire to see you and 1 in
heaven. She never used her
own writings as aggressively
as some well-meaning but I
misguided people do today: to
thump people over the head.
Instead, she viewed her \vrit-
ings as the "lesser light"
pointing to the "greater
utter debauchery
immoral content in theaters
more than the building itself.
She was definitely different
than how most people paint
her today.
Ellen White did have
strong views on things like
education, health reform and
the morality of the church.
She managed to juggle being a
leader in the church and
being a typical grandmother
in her later years. She was
someone who loved spending light"— God's Word,
time with her grandchildren Even though we h

Professor Jud Lake, our
resident expert on Adventist
heritage, said the most sur-
prising thing we'd discover
has been enough i

We have sought to break
down a few misconceptions I
and show that she, even |
about Ellen White would be though carrying a message I
that she'd be "a delightful per- from God, was still human |
son to have m your company. '
This is consistent with the
overall picture of her life even
though many people are con-
tent to just take snippets of
what she did and said to paint
a different picture. To help
people better understand
Ellen and what she wrote Dr.
Lake recommends the book
by George Knight, "Reading
Ellen White."
But Ellen White's greatest

Moyls victorious over the Bruin;
JERMAINE ANDRADES
SP55HJ5HS5
Tuesday's 6 p.m. floor
hockey action began with the
Moyls taidng on the Bruins in
the lies Gymnasium.
The Bruins were looking to
improve their 1-4 standing,
hut the Moyls had a plan of
their own that began when
Tyler Shelton scored the
Moyls' first point. He maneu-
vered past two defenders to
slap in an unassisted goal
with six minutes into the first
period.
Less than three minutes
later, Shelton scored again off
assists from Steve
Hendershelt and Larry
Baxter, making the score 2-0
Moyls.
"Intense passing makes the
difference, along with the
persistence of the Moyl's,"
Shelton said.
With 5:30 left in the first
period, Moyls' player Eric
Michaelis-Woodard nailed
Dale Southard into the office
door of Dr. Pangman that
landed him a spot in the
"penalty box" (behind the
scorer's table) for checking.
In the second period,
Moyls' player Mike
Newbrander scored an early
goal with 15:37 on the clock,
assisted by Hendershelt. The
Bruins were determined to
answer back, and they did
three minutes later with a
goal by Joey Fuller, assisted
by Bret Mahoney. But their
efforts would fall short as the
buzzer sounded, making the
final score 3-1.
The Bruins' had the oppor-
tunity to capitalize on two
more power plays: Casey
Leno for checking, and
Shelton for slashing, but they
fell short each time. Team
captain Mahoney briefly com-
mented on that:
"We lack the ability to
score on power plays. We also
need to improve our passing.
We could do better,"
Mahoney said.
The Moyls' goalie Brian
Moore finished the night with
9 saves. The Bruins' goalie
Ryan Trott finished with 5.

Village co-ed
rules are
tightened
New rules in Southern
Village prevent men and
women from socializmg by
themselves.
Male and female students
are not allowed to be alone in
any area of the ullage apart
ments for this school year A
third person must be present
when a there is a male m a
female's apartment or a
female in a male's apartment
Last school year, male and
female students were able to
be by themselves in the build
ing, but because of specific
incidents, new rules have been
established.
"A third person is a
reminder and protector for
people who might get involved
in a situation that they would
later regret," Dean Negron
said. "Mixed gender visita-
tions were the biggest prob-
lems last year concerning the
village housing, so we needed
to address the issue."
There have not been prob-
lems this year, but villagers
think the new rule is too strict.
"Most of the students in
Southern Village are at least
21 years of age or older.
Basically, we are all adults,"
said Ben Knowles, a junior
health and physical education
major. "I know I am capable of
making decisions concerning
women in the apartment."
Other students agree.
"If students are going to get
in a [suggestive] situation,
having these rules isn't going
to stop them. They can easily
go somewhere else," said Jeff
Johns, a senior corporate
wellness management major.
Matt Campbell, a sopho-
more business administration
major and current resident of
Southern Village, believes this
new rule is treating students
like children.
"Rules are a good thing, but
when they prevent us from
developing into mature
adults, they become a hin-
drance,'^ Campbell said.
"Southern expects us to be
prepared for the real world.

Asian Night ends festivities
Last Saturday was the sev-
enth annual Asian Night event,
which marked the end of Asian
Week.
The events began with con-
vocation on Thursday and ves-
pers on Friday night. They were
coordinated by the students of
the Asian Club and sponsored
by Gary Horinouchi, Southern's
audio visual director, and Keith
Snyder, chairman of Southern's
biology department.
"The goal of the week was to
create an inclusive atmosphere
where we can celebrate our
dynamic diversity here at
Southern," Snyder said.
The event started in the lies
PE center at 8 p.m. and ran to
approximately 10:30 p.m. The
gymnasium was divided into
two parts, with the entrance
decorated like a dragon with a
red backlight and smoke com-
ing from the nose. Guests were
greeted with a fortune cookie
and raffle ticket for prizes at the
end of the night.
Booths were set up along the
sides, with each representing a
different nation and activities
and food specific to their cul-
ture. People lined up at booths
to play games like the Korean
game gongi, a game similar to
jumping jacks, a dance video
game and tinikling, the
Philippine national dance

Three hundred chairs were
filled as well as people stand-
ing for the main show that
revolved around two special
agents, played by Jake
Sanchez and Wesley Easter,
tracking down an artifact
poacher from one Asian coun-
try to another. Performers did
various ethnic dances, from
Hawaii, India, the
Philippians, and also put on a
Korean martial arts act.
Many students expressed
appreciation of the Indian
dance, with Judy Moses,
Shanti Shrestha, and Mia
Pandit making up the trio.
"The Indian girls kicked!"
said Rick Hickman, a senior
long term health administra-
tion major.
The preparations for the
event began Thursday night
with some students staying
into early Friday morning, but
all'<thb<Wd>work did not go
unnoticed by party goers.
"Tills is my favorite event
of the year" said Joy Grabiner,
a senior public relations

the year that I really want to
go to. Asians know liow to do
it right!"

Meningitis vaccine has new recommendations
Last month's approval of a
new drug to treat meningitis
has sparked new recommen-
dations by the National
Foundation for Infectious
Diseases (NFID). They state
that all adolescents from 11-12
years old, high school entry
ages of 14-15 years old, and
college freshmen living in
dormitories should be vacci-
nated by the new drug
Menactra. These
dations were approved by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and Advisory
Committee on Immunization
Practices Februaiy 10.
Meningitis effects an

Nichols wanted to be with newborn
Atiamta, Ga. (AP)
Brian Nichols' girlfriend
gave birth to his child just
three days before the ram-

repeatedly told her that he
wanted to be with the child.
"I do know that he wanted
to be with the baby. He did
speak about it all the time,"
said Sonya Meredith, the
mother of the baby boy. She
said Nichols made those
statements in the days and
weeks leading up to the shoot-

Nichols was on trial for a
second time for allegedly rap-
ing and holding hostage an
ex-girlfriend when he alleged-
ly escaped and killed four
people Friday.
"I wanted to have a healthy

A judge formally sentenced
Scott Peterson to death
Wednesday after family mem-

and Laci Peterson's mother
sobbed as she called her son-
in-law "an evil murderer,"
Judge Alfred A. Delucchi
allowed only Laci's family
members to speak at the hear-
ing after indicating he believed
the death penalty was warrant-
ed.
Peterson's father yelled
from the audience as Laci's

mother, also interrupted
Rocha but her voice was
inaudible.
Scott Peterson, 32, was
invited to make a statement.
After several minutes of dis-

declined.
Delucchi denied a defense
request for a new trial before

dict for a retrial in January.
upholding the jury's recom-
mendation that Peterson be
sentenced to death.
"The court is satisfied
beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant, Scott Lee
Peterson, is guilty of first-
degree murder" and second
degree, Delucchi said, adding
that he found the killings
"were cruel, uncaring, heart-
less and callous."
Peterson, shackled at the
waist and wearing a dark suit,
showed no emotion through-
out the hearing.
Peterson will be sent to
death row at San Quentin State
Prison within 48 hours, said
San Mateo County Sheriffs Lt
Lisa Williams. The infamous
lockup overlooks the same bay
where Laci Peterson's body
was discarded.
Laci's mother, Sharon
Rocha, sobbed and trembled
from a podium as she lashed
out at her former son-in-law,
Scott Peterson stared back at
her without emotion.
"You decided to throw Laci
and Conner away, dispose of
them like they were just a
piece of garbage," she said.
"You were wrong; dead
wrong."
Dabbing at her eyes with
tissues, she called him "an evil
murderer."
"The fact that you no longer
wanted Laci did not give you
the right to murder her,"
Sharon Rocha said. "She was
my daughter ... I trusted you,
and you betrayed me ... You
betrayed everybody."
Peterson was competed in
November of first-degree mur-
der in the killing of Laci and
second-degree murder for the
slaying of her fetus. A jury rec-
ommended the death penalty a
month later.
Osama bin Laden was almost caught by Pakistani forces
Iblamabad, pAKirrAN(AP)
Pakistani security forces came
close to capturing Osama bin
Laden in an operation about
eight to 10 months ago, but the
terror mastermind eluded arrest
and his trail has since gone cold,
Pakistan's president said
Though President Gen.
Pervez Musharraf did not say
where the operation took place,
the comment was the first offi-
cial indication that bin Laden
has recentiy been in Pakistan.
Intelligence officials have said
they believe he is hiding in the
rugged mountains that straddle
the border witli Afghanistan.
Tliere was a time when the
dragnet had closed and we
thought we knew roughly the
area where he possibly could be,"
Musharraf said in an interview
with the British Broadcasting
Corp, aired Tuesday.
"That was, I think, some time
back ... maybe about eight to lo
months back," he said, adding:
"But after that, this is such a
game, this inteUigence, that tiiey
escape. They can move and then
you lose contact."
The comments confirmed
Pakistani inteUigence officials'
claims that the trail of the
world's most wanted man has
gone cold. Senior officials close
to the hunt said they have
received no information on his
whereabouts for months and
have no indication of any specif-
ic attack he is planning.
Musharraf and other
Pakistani leaders say the silence
is a sign they have desfroyed al-
Qaida's network here.
In Washington, White House
spokesman Scott McCleUan said
he did not have any information
on Musharrafs disclosure. He
said bin Laden "remains a high

Dear editors,
I read the Accent today and
found my picture next to a
quote by "Rick Anderson"
who said he spent $60 on
Nautica clothing. I under-
stand that when you type in
"Rick Anderson" into the
Joker, you get my name.
However, I didn't talk to any-
one from the Accent and defi-
nitely didn't spend any of my
parents' money (I have three
jobs at the moment; I spend
my own money) on spring
break.
The picture you want is
under "Richard Anderson." It
would be really nice to get a
retraction of some kind.
Thanks,

Tears streamed dovra Mary's
cheeks as she washed the feet of
Jesus. She had done a good thing,
and Jesus commended her for it.
Yet she still cried. She cried tears
that only Jesus could wipe away.
Why did she cry? The answer is
simple; she cried because she was
broken.
Nobody likes it when things
break. A child is sad when a par-
ent runs over their new bike. A
girl cries when a guy breaks her
heart. A man cries when his wife
leaves him. They all cry because
of brokenness.
This brokenness cannot be
prevented either. The thing that
breaks beyond repair is people.
People break their hearts and
their spirits. But all is not lost,
because each time they break
they are fully restored.
You are familiar with the lady
at the beginning of the story. She
is perhaps one of the greatest dis-
ciples who ever Hved. But she was
a prostitute living a lifestyle that
would not be honorable to God. A
person wonders why she even got
close to Jesus. Jesus was perfect
and Mary was full of flaws. But
Jesus was the only one who could
restore her brokenness. He did
not restore her once or twice but
he restored her seven times.
You probably haven't commit-
ted the types of sin that Mary did;
however, you may be broken
because of other circumstances.
The following story illustrates the
concept of brokenness.
A little boy had a bike. He rode
his bike nearly everyday and as
time went on, his bike became his
best friend. He painted his bike
red because he thought that
might make the bike go faster. He
also got little noisemakers to put
in the spokes of the tires because
the other kids had them. One day
while he was riding his bike do\vn
a steep hiU, he hit a rock, tlew
over the handlebars, and got a big
gash on the forehead, a headache
that lasted for three daj's, and a
broken bike that would be in the
shop for a long time. The boy was
laid up for a week before he
thought about riding his bike
again. He went to die shop and
asked his dad how the bike was
coming along and the father said
it wasn't quite fixed. He waited
for two days (which in Httle kid
time is quite a while) before ask-
ing his father about the bike
again, but it wasn't quite ready
yet. Finally the litde boy decided
that the bike looked fine. The
handlebars were still bent, the
chain hadn't been fixed com-
pletely and the brakes still
weren't in good order. The boy
went to the hill and started down
as he had before. Halfway down
the hill the chain came off, the
brakes weren't working and the
boy crashed again. This time the
boy was okay but the bike was not
okay at all and it was going to
take even longer for his father to
fix the bike.
The little boy's story seems
childish and we wonder what he
was thinking, riding a broken
bike. I would ask you the same
question: Why are we going
around as a broken people? No
psychologist or doctor can fix us,
but Christ can. Are you praying?
Perhaps you say, "Yes, I am pray-
ing, but God isn't answering my
prayer." Like the little boy in the
story, sometimes we need to have
more patience. God is not slow io
answering our prayers. He just
doesn't give us what we ask for
unless we are ready to receive it.
If you are broken I challenge you
to go to the One who can fix bro-
ken hearts and end all suffering.

Johnson's late goal saves Kickers
jERAiAiNE Andrades
Sports_Ed!tor_
The defending men's soccer
champions Real Madrid, com-
peted against the Kickers on
Tuesda\' afternoon on Field a
The Kickers were the underdog
team, but they proved that they
(vill be solid contenders this
year.
The Kickers began with only
seven players on the field
Although out numbered, the
Kickers maintained their
defensive mold that held
Madrid from scoring at will
"We have i8 players on our
team, and we couldnt get at
least 10 people to come to the
game. That's pretty pathetic if
you ask me," said Matt
Campbell, Kicker's team cap-
tain.
In the first half, Madrid's
Claude Mapp coUided into a
defender, injuring his left
ankle. He was assisted off the
field by medical personnel, and
was unable to return to the
game. He suffered a sprained
kuee and ankle.
Later in the first half,
Madrid's right forward Wayne
Odle scored a goal against
Kickers' goalie Ryan Trott,
Cavalieri falls to Furia Latina
assisted by Edouard Julien,
which made the score i-o lead-
ing into halftune.
"We were spreading the ball
well with lead passes and kept
their defenders running
around," Odle said.
Much of the second half
remained similar to that of a
tennis match, where the ball
traveled from one side of the
field to the next, with no appar-
ent result. It wasn't until late
in the half that Kickers' mid-
fielder Ben Sayler dished the
ball to right forward Richie
Johnson, who power-kicked

Madrid, lacks the ball between
Kfiynaert, of team Kickers
the ball from right field at high
left goal. The baU grazed the
fingertips of Madrid's goalie
Mike Valentin tying the score
and ending the game.
Post-game commentary was
given by Odle when asked
about necessary changes in
Real Madrid's team strategy:
"Being the champions can
make us feel hke we can't be
defeated and we may underes-
timate other teams. But I think
we have to play as the under-
dog, like we've never won a
championship. That will make
us play like champions."

Men's soccer teams Furia
Latina and Cavalieri faced off
on Tuesday evening, both
teams starting with a full ros-
ter of players.on the field.
The first half began with
the ball in Furia's possession
at the half line; Furia's mid-
fielder Josue Mendoza passed
the ball back to open up the
field for options. Cavalieri's
defense pushed up early,
often creating the offside call
against Furia which kept them
from getting a crucial break-
away. Although Cavalieri
maintained this good strate-
gy, Andres Crespo sped
through a hole in the middle
of Cavalieri's defense, which
led to Furia's first goal, mak-
ing the score i-o at halftime.
Second half resumed the
match with Cavalieri's striker
Aaron Vizcarra charging into
Furia's defense unexpectedly.
Furia's defense came together
like a rock wall and stopped
his drive turning the game
play back in their direction.
Motivated by the one goal
deficit, Cavalieri pushed the
ball closer and closer to
Furia's goal with several close
calls from corner kicks and
free kicks, none of which
made it in due to portero
Eduardo Kast.
Cavalieri was unable to
convert any offensive drives
into their much needed goal.
With Cavalieri's defense play-
ing even stronger than the
first half and with the solid
goal keeping of Justin Moore
it seemed that neither team
was getting anywhere.
Containment was the name of
the game as both sides
defense put a cap on any good
scoring chances either team
could make. Mendoza owned
the midfield with footwork
and quick passing making
Cavalieri's defense work at
keeping the ball out.
Near the end of the game, a
hand ball against Furia gave
Cavalieri a free kick with
under two minutes left in the
game. A high looping curve
from the boot of Jeff
Dickerson arched over the
defense and brushed the wig
of Vizcarra, just millimeters
from being the header goal
that would've tied it up. Time
ran out and the celebration of
Furia Latina began with their
1-0 victory.

After the second day of pro-
motion, tickets for the
SonRise Resurrection Pageant
were sold out. With a cast of
500 students from Southern
and members of the
Collegedale church, this pag-
eant targets non-local visitors
as well as community mem-
bers and students.
SonRise is a re-creation of
Christ's final days before to
his death and resurrection.
The Collegedale SDA Church
has offered this walk-through
program on the Saturday of
Easter weekend since 1996.
The pageant begins in the
church and continues across
Southern's campus.
"Our main target is to reach
non-Adventists, mainly in the
greater-Chattanooga area. We
also have people from Indiana
and North Carolina coming to
view this event," said Sherrie
Williams, the assistant direc-
tor.

Screams and whistles
echoed thorough Illes PE
Center Saturday night as stu-

the Student Association talent
show to begin.
The evening began with the
introduction of hosts Justin
Moore and Abner Sanchez. As
they sang a duet in EngHsh and
Spanish, shouts of laughter
could be heard throughout the
gym.
"It was scary at first to get up
front," said Justin Moore, a
junior business administration
and long-term health care
major. "Nothing we said was
rehearsed, but I think it went
really well."
The first act on stage was
Rick Anderson and his band
Tempest, featuring May
Anderson singing "Broken."
Other acts included Kasper
Haughton and his group Cereal
Toys, Tina Gemora and Karla
Salazar singing a duet, Special
Delivery with dance, and
Wesley Villanueva who played
saxophone and was accompa-
nied by Johan Sentana on the

Talge Hall construction nears completion
Alex Mattison
Contractors working on the
addition to the men's dorm
say construction on Talge Hall
will soon be finished.
"The new wing is pretty
much done, we're just waiting
on a few odds and ends, like
finishing up the carpet and
some electrical things. But
we're pretty much done," said
Clair Kitson, the general con-
tractor for Talge.
Students in Talge have
been living with the construc-
tion, and many will be happy
when work is done.
Joseph Mahoney, a fresh-
man broadcast journalism
major and janitor for Talge,
said he looks forward to see-
ing the finished rooms.
they're a little bit bigger, so

"They'll probably be done by

Students will have to wait
at least until next year to

the new wing.
"We don't want to make

For now, students can stay

Phonathon raises riearly $46,000
Southern's annual
Phonathon is coming to a
close with nearly $40,000
raised. "Our goal is to connect
current students and faculty
to alumni to talk about their
interests," said campaign
leader Patrice Hieb.
The Phonathon is a tele-
phone campaign v^^here stu-
f^ents call Southern alumni
and ask for donations.
The goal is to increase
Southern Funds participation
for current needs while
strengthening ties with aca-
demic departments. Southern
^"nds helps the university to
support academic
3nd other expenses,
"We have had sor
in the thousand dollar range,"
said Hieb- "Most of that
money is going towards
Southern Funds and worthy
student funds."
The original goal was
$40,000, but board member
K.R. Davis offered to give
$10,000 if a new goal of
$50,000 is met. With 18 stu-
dent callers and the faculty
and staff volunteers on the
phones most evenings, the
money has been piling in. In
four weeks, 7,000 numbers
were dialed with a total of 489
donors.
Hieb and her crew said
calling people receives much
better feedback, both positive
and negative, and getting a
chance to talk to former stu-
dents a good experience.

With 80 Taser-related
deaths since 1999, the safety
ot the stun gun's use has been
a controversial issue lately.
The gun shoots out two
barbed electrodes that pene-
trate clothing. Then the Taser
temporarily stuns the target
with a 50.000-volt, 6-watt
electrical current that causes
pam and muscle contractions.
This immobilization, called
neuromuscular incapacita-
tion causes some people to be
frozen in place, while others
tall to the ground.
Man; human rights groups,
like Amnesty International,
ha\e called for more in-depth
research and government regu-
lation because of deaths associ-
^ted with Taser use.
But law enforcement agen-
cies have different opinions.
The Collegedale Police
Department will continue
using the devices, but the
Chicago Police Department,
along with others, have
stopped further distribution
of Tasers to officers and have
halted their use until further
research is conducted.
Collegedale officers began
carrying the TASER
International, X26 on Aug.
30, 2004. Since then, they
have deployed the weapon
vith
But
most cases, just brandishing it
caused suspects to comply
with officers, said Sgt. Randy
Barber, the Taser instructor
for the Collegedale Police
Department.
Since Orange County, Fla.,
equipped police officers with
Tasers in 2001, injuries to
deputies have dropped by 80
percent, and their department
went 15 months without a
shooting.
"The Taser is fabulous,"
said Orange County Sheriff
Kevin Beary.
According to TASER
International, 87 percent of
law enforcement agencies are
currently using the Tasers
with or before using pepper
spray.
Current research indicates
that Tasers are safe.
"Drugs are almost always a
factor in Taser deaths," said
Criminal Justice Professor
Charlie Mesloh of Florida Gulf
Coast University. "The Taser
is 90 percent effective and
carries a mortality rate of o.i
percent."
The Pacing and Clinical
Electrophysiology Journal
published a study on cardiac
safety with Taser technology.
There is some concern that
Tasers can cause ventricular
fibrillation. The heart main-
tains its rhythm by organized
pulses of electricity that cause
the chambers to squeeze in
and out, Ventricular fibrilla-
tion occurs when the pulses
get disorganized, causing the
ventricles to flutter rather
than pump, with little or no
blood being distributed.
However, Dr. Richard Luceri,
a cardiac rhythm specialist,
said the PACE study reports
that the energy required to
induce ventricular fibrillation
was, on average, 28 times
greater than the energy of
brand of Tasers widely used
by law enforcement.
This safety margin is far
greater than most cardiac
drugs approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug
Administration.
Over 100,000 officers have
voluntarily been shocked, and
the weapon has been safely
used over 45,000 times by
officers in the field, said
TASER International.
President and co-Founder
Tom Smith.
"Tasers are a good tool, but
they don't replace lethal force
weapons," Barber said.

student kills lo in school shooting
BEMIDJjiJfllNN JAP)^_^
Teachers met Wednesday to
work out ways of helping
young survivors of the nation's
worst school shooting in si\
years, as outsiders streamed in
to help the tight-knit commu-
nity cope with the tragedy.
"Kids, if you're out there
listening, please, we'll he
there for you. Come back to
school and we'll get through
this together," Red Lake High
School Principal Chris
Dunshee told KSTP-TV in
Minneapolis-St, Paul, "Please,
let us help you,"
The school remained closed
Wednesday, as Dunshee and
others assessed what kind of
counseling the students in this
tight-knit community would
need. Teachers and staff were
called to a morning meeting ;ii
the nearby elementary school
Authorities were still trying,
to determine why 16-year-old
Jeff Weise went on a shooting
rampage that began at his
grandfather's house and
ended at Red Lake High
School. Nine people were,
killed and seven were wound-
ed before the gunman appar-
ently shot himself.
Many students saw their
friends shot, or heard gun-
shots and screams as Weise
made his way through the
halls, firing multiple shots.
Some students said they saw
dead bodies in the hall, and
trails of blood as they evacuat-
ed the school.
"First and foremost, we've
got to be focused on getting
our kids through this,"
Dunshee told The Associated
Press. "They're good kids.
They don't deserve this."
Dunshee said many of his
colleagues have offered sup-
port and encouragement,
including Scott Staska, the
superintendent of the Cold
Spring school district where
two students were killed in
September 2003. A 15-year-
old student was charged in the
slayings and is awaiting trial.
Dunshee said Staska told
him "we belong to a rather
exclusive and undesirable club
now, and we can get through
it." Staska recommended
Dunshee investigate grants
that may be available to
schools affected by such ioci-
Paul Fleckenstein, a mental
health leader with the
American Red Cross, said the
organization is out in the com-
munity asking questions,
learning about American
Indian traditions and assess-
ing what the families need.
"We are being particularly
sensitive to the needs and the
traditions of the community,"
Fleckenstein said.
The Red Lake killings began
at the home of Weise's grand-
father, Daryl Lussier, 58, a
tribal police officer who was
killed with a .22-caliber gun,
according to the FBI's Michael
Tabman. Also killed was

Have a journey of faith
Laura Asaftei
GUEST^COMTHIBUTOR^
Monday at 8 a.m., a speech
class starts. The students, mostly
18 and 19-year-old freshmen, are
waiting for class to begin. Some
are eating the last few bites of
their breakfast and some are still
trying to wake up. One 30-some-
thing guy stood out from all the
rest. No, this is not the professor.
Meet Wayne Long, a freshman
theology student on a journey of
faith.
Long came to Southern in
answer to God's call for him to be
a pastor, but the road, so far, has
been full of obstacles. The father
of three children moved from
Southern Georgia to Tennessee in
summer 2004, leaving his family
behind until he located housing
and started working. Little did he
know that a promised job b-ansfer
with Target Corporation would
not go through or that for three
months, he would not see his wife
and children except on the week-
Despite the.se problems. Long
had faith, Hi.s family joined him,
and Uiey are now settled on cam-
pus in married-.student housing.
His wife finished her nursing
training before moving to
Collegedale and found work at a
local nursing home. Long, with
the help of another older student,
obtained work at the Village
Market. His two older children are
enrolled at A.W. Spalding, a local
private school. Many challenges
remain for Long: finances, read-
justing to school, relating to young
classmates and balancing studies
with time for family. Still, he
keeps going, encouraged by the
promise of Philippians 4:13: "I can
do all things through Christ which
strengthens me."
"It's hard," Long said, "but I'm
glad I'm here and have the oppor-
tunity to learn."
Long is one of 12.7 million non-
traditional college students
throughout the United States.
From 1992 to 2000 their numbers
have greaUy increased, according
to the Condition of Education
report published by the National
Center for Education Statistics
(NCES).
Not all nontraditional students
are adults; some are young people
who have delayed enrollment into
college. However, nontraditional
students of all types face similar
challenges: readjusting to a school
environment, learning to fit in
with younger students, working to
support a family or pay for tuition,
balancing work with school, and
keeping up their courage. It is not
surprising then, that according to
the NCES report, nontraditional
students are much more likely to
leave post-secondary education
without a degree than their peers,
and most of those who drop out,
do so within the first year. Despite
the difficulties, many nontradi-
tional students enroll in college
for the first time, some to finish a
degree and others because they
switch careers and need further
education.
Unlike the national trend, the
number of nontraditional stu-
dents at Southern has not
increased m the last few years,
according to Joni Zier, director of
records and advisement.
Administration does not have a
figure of how many nontradition-
al students Uke Long are enrolled-
According to Zier, it is difficult to
get an accurate number because
there are so many types of stu-
dents that fit under the nontradi-
tional umbrella. In the recently
released statistics report compiled
by the records office, special stu-
dents number 29, but this only
includes students taking five cred-
it hours or less.
Long is also continuing his
journey of faith. His first year of
college is almost over, and he

FireFox vs. Internet Explorer
Jason Holt would go to bed at
night and leave his computer on
only to wake up and find his
screen covered witli pop-ups try-
ing to give him an iPod or a
cruise to tlie Bahamas for just
answering a couple of questions.
Frustrated, Holt, a freshman
biology major, decided to switcli
over to a new wob browser tltat is
more secure, easier to use and'
faster: FireFox.
"I love how it blocks pop ups,"
Holt says.
FireFox is a new Web browser
created by a non-profit group of
developers called Mozilla.
FireFox, whicli can be down-
loaded for free at
www.Mozilla.org, was developed
as a more secure alternative to
Microsoft's Internet E.\plorer.
Because Internet Explon;r is
the most wide spread web
browser, it is also one of the
biggest targets by hackers.
Popular hades include forging
Web sites, stealing documents
and even miming discreet pro-
grams.
"Not a week goes by without
security problems on Internet
Explorer," says John Beckett,
professor in the computing
department.
He says that FireFox is start-
ing to become really popular
among liis students not only for
tiie security but also because of
its simplicity and customization
ability,
"I use FireFox with the
Mozilla Calendar," says Darlene
Williams in the computer
department. Adding tabs (spe-
cialized buttons) and imple-
menting themes makes the
browser useful and fim for tlie
FireFox is open source soft-
ware, whicli means tlie code for
tlie softNvare is readily available
to anyone. So when a new prob-
lem occurs, tliere is an amiy of
progranmiers ready to fbc it.
Despite the 25 milhon down-
loads of FireFox, Internet
Explorer is still used bj- go per-
cent of tlie population. Some stu-
dents don't think it's necessary
to do the switcli.
"I have no problem with the
way Explorer works," says
Andrew Bermudez, a junior
business major.

Destiny Drama Company
recently returned from its last
tour of the season - a Sabbath
performance at Bass Memorial

many sketches expressing

Uncensored, or being real and
open with God.
"It was excellent and very
thought provoking," said .Joy
Hallman, local church member
at the Bass Academy Church.
"It made me reevaluate my pri-
orities and my relationship
with God."
Students were affected by
the performance as well. "It
was ver>' touching," said
Denise Terr>', sophomore at
Bass Academy. "The 'Masks'
skit was a good way to connect
to the youth."
The program also included a
Sabbath afternoon Uncensored

team, during which students
and Destiny members alike
"fere invited to share their tes-
timonies and struggles.
"It helped everyone open
up." Terry said, "and it helped

Destiny is already looking
forward to the grand finale of
the season, the home perform-
ance, which will be a dramatic
play that examines how we
relate to God when we find
ourselves enveloped in the
whirlwind of suffering and loss
by exploring the story of Job.
"We're putting a lot of work
into it right now," said Kari
Wright, second year cast mem-
ber and sophomore busmess
major. "1 can see God working
with us, and I know he's going
to bless the performance."
Fans of Destiny are looking
forward to the performance as
well.
"I've really enjoyed
Destiny's performances in the
past," said Stacy Weston, ajun-

"I'm sure this one will be very

:> students hold first South East Youth Conference
Youth and young adults
gathered at Collegedale
Church last Friday evening to
begin the first annual South
East Youth Conference week-
end.
"This earth isn't going to
last much longer," said Justin
McNelius, a junior business
administration major, as he
welcomed the group. "My
question to you is what are we
going to do about it?"
The goal of the weekend
was to spread the passion of
mission and to teach people to
spread the word, said Michelle
Doucoumes, a senior account-
ing major and South East
Youth Conference president.
A group of Southern stu-
dents decided to initiate the
South East Youth Conference
after experiencing the General
Youth Conference sessions,
which met in December 2003
in Michigan and December
2004 in California.
The local conference is now
one of Southern's student
clubs and has worked in part-
nership with Campus
Ministries in order to make
the first conference weekend a
reality.
Mission pilot David Gates
spoke for the keynote address-
es during the weekend. Gates
presented what he called a
radical message, making a call
for people to "risk it all" for
God.
"God doesn't give us an
education so we can get a job,"
Gates said. "He gives us an
education, talents and skills so
we can do His work."
Gates made an appeal dur-
ing the Saturday evening pro-
gram for attendees to choose
whether they u^Il look beyond
the material things of this
world and trust in God to pro-
vide their needs as they work
for Him. "It's no longer our
responsibility to survive;
that's God's problem," Gates
said. "Our job is to spread the
On Saturday morning and
afternoon, workshops were
presented on topics such as
-Radical Christianity and
Missions," "Reaching Your
Friends for Christ" and
"Health Evangelism."
Amy Wetmore, a local artist
from Signal Mountain,
enjoyed meeting with a small
group led out by David Gates
in the afternoon.
"I learned how to use my
talents for the Lord and how
an artist could be used in the
work," Wetmore said. "I like to
use art for the Lord, and David
Gates told me about some
opportunities, so maybe some-
thing will work out with that."
Linda Horner, a junior
nursing major, said she had
been blessed by her experi-
ence at the conference. "I felt
like God called me to a deeper
experience with Him and a
deeper level of surrender," she
said.
Doucoumes said she feels
the weekend was a success.
"Success is not in the num-

during the South East Youth Conference last weekend.
bers, but in the spirit. And we
were blessed in both this
weekend," she said. "But I
hope that it doesn't end here
and that students get involved
beyond here, investigating
what God would have them
do," she said.
The South East Youth
Conference has also sponsored
vespers and community serv-
ice opportunities earlier this
school year. The conference
will also be actively involved
in helping with the General
Youth Conference, which will
meet in Chattanooga, Tenn,
during the weekend of Dec.
28-Jan. 1, 2005.

Lessons from a violin: watermarks will always remain
My experience in music
began when 1 was very young,
learning the violin. When I
first began the violin, the
teacher told my dad and I to
make sure that I practiced
every day. Practicing entailed
everything from learning the
notes, how to count time and
playing the actual notes. I'm
sure that it didn't sound very
good many times. There were
times when I played in what
my instniclor called "the mud"
(the black part of the violin the
violinist shouldn't be playing
in), and there were more days
than I can count when I didn't
feel like practicing.
My dad didn't let me just
give up though. Being the eco-
nomical person of the family,
he made sure that I practiced,
and when I didn't, he'd talk to
me about it. One of the things
that I did for practice was
counting on a "counting stick."
The counting stick was a large
stick, and in the middle there
was a loose wrap around it that
went up and down in order to
count the beats. My dad and I
would practice this as well. We
would practice the stance that
the teacher called a, "zip step"
position (where the left foot
slants out as in a zip motion
and the right foot steps for-
ward). These practices became
very difficult for both my dad
and I at times.
Sometimes my dad would
understandably get frustrated
with my lack of motivation and
practicing. Some of these
weeks were so difticult; I would
cry. The tears from my crying
would go onto the violin, and
they would dry. The next week
at the lesson, the instructor
commented how it must have
been a rough week. My dad
said that things hadn't gone
the best and asked how the
instructor knew. Then the vio-
hn teacher showed us some-
thing that 1 still remember. He
showed us the watermarks that
had fallen down in the cracks
of the \'iolin and said that was
how he could tell.
When I think of that experi-
ence, I think of Jesus at I
second coming— when we
go up to heaven, and He say:
must have been rough gettin
here. One weary
"yes it was," and he shares hi
story. Another
asks Jesus how he knew abow
the journey and Jesus says
not only did He take it loi
ago, but the watermarks sti
remain. But after all the te;
and all the practices, after
the counting and hard tni
the weary traveler can

Wellness
center to be
constructed
A $6.3 million proj-
ect underway to be
completed by 2007.
Eric Henton
Staff Writer
Southern mil soon begin
groundbreaking and construc-
tion on the new wellness cen-
ter.
"We have been talking
about it and planning for it
and needing it for the past 15
years or better," said Phil
Garver, dean of the School of
Physical Education, Health
and Wellness.
The board has voted to
move the $6.3 million well-
ness center project forward by
requesting a complete-fund-
ing proposal to be presented
at the next meeting, April 18.
President Gordon Bietz
described a goal of completion
within 24 months of ground-
breaking in his president's
report. Groundbreaking will
begin shortly after final archi-
tectural drawings are com-
pleted.
Bietz described a tentative
funding proposal for project,
which included using bond
money from the welcome cen-
ter project. The proposal also
included getting funding from
the Committee of 100 and
possible student fund raising.
The current gym was built
in 1963 when Southern's cam-
pus had fewer than 1,000 stu-
dents. One board member
compared the old gym to driv-
ing around in a 1963
Chevrolet, saying the time has
come to update the facilities,
or risk losing students.
"It will be a nice addition to
the current facility that we
already have," said Michael
Younkin, a junior media pro-
duction major.
Garver hopes the new well-
ness center will be completed
by fall of 2007.
"Everything in the center is 1
vital for our survival, academ- \
ically," Garver said. "Students
need and deserve a place to
workout. The recreation part
of campus life has outgrown j
the current room. It is 'he 1
right thmg to do for every- |
one."
he struggles to carry the
8,500 attend SonRise
Although rain was forecast-
ed for the day of the SonRise
Pageant, the skies stayed blue
and temperatures hovered
around 80 degrees.
"We were worried up until
Friday night that it was going
to rain," said Marjorie
Ellenwood, a junior reUgious
studies major and rover direc-
tor. "God was bigger than the
weather."
Crowds of people followed
along with Jesus' procession
into Jerusalem, the last sup-
per, his prayer in the garden of
Gethsemane, Pilate's court,
his crucifixion and resurrec-
tion.
The play started in the
church, progressed along the
promenade and ended in lies
P.E. Center. By the end of the
last performance, more than
8,000 people viewed the pag-
eant.
The promenade was trans-
formed into the crowded
streets of Jerusalem. Little
girls with flowers in their hair
sang Jewish songs and danced
in the street. Shops lined the
walkway, selling flowers, bas-
kets and olive oil.
Judy Winters, associate
professor of nursing, had a
medicine shop.
"Our most popular items
were maggots and leeches,"
said Winters.

Gym-Masters to perform home show
LeeAnn Paulsen
Staff Whiter
Costumes, teeter boards,
and new routines are only a few
reasons why this year's Gym-
Masters home show is worth
attending.
"The audience will get to see
things that have never been
done before," said Derek
Wright, pastor for the Gym-
Masters.
Home show will be held
Saturday at 8 p.m. m ffles P.E.

and are available at the Village

Tickets are free to Southern

crowd followed the actors to
the Crucifixion scene, they
passed Josh Lombard, one of
the actors who played Judas.
"I just hang in there," said
Lombard, who dangled from a
tree by a harness for most of
the day. "It's the most uncom-
fortable thing I've ever expe-
rienced."
The Crucifixion scene took
place by the track. The crowd
gathered around three cross-
es, supporting Jesus and the
two thieves. As the actor who
played Jesus said the words,
"It is finished," thunder from
the loudspeakers echoed
against the ridge.
"It gives you an idea of
what is was like to be actually
there," said Krista Turner,
who came from North Dakota
to visit her sister who attends
Southern.
The final scene took place
in the gym. The lights were
dim and fog rolled across the
stage, set up like the tomb in
Gethsemane. Special effects
included a small fireworks
display as the angel entered,
and again as Jesus came from
the tomb.
Billy and Koko Campbell,
from Jasper, Tenn. have been
coming to the SonRise for last
four or five years.
"It's an excellent play,"
Billy Campbell said. "I
enjoyed it."
"Each time they have
something new, something
special," Koko Campbell said.
"This last part was awesome."

WSMC holds pledge week
Mathuel Browne
Southern's radio station
will be holding its annual
pledge week starting April 18.
The main goal of the pledge
week is for WSMC to raise
money by asking listeners for
donations. The station's annu-
al expenses are about
$400,000 a year.
This year, the station will
the
$40,000 to $60,000 they had
pay to replace their antennae
that was damaged earlier this
year as well as other opera-
"The last thing we need is to
not make that goal," said
David Brooks, station manag-
er. "[Pledge week] might be
two weeks if needed."
The station has four sources
of revenue: listeners' dona-
tions, underwriters, tower
rentals, and subsidy from
Southern. The listeners
account for close to 25 percent
annually. The pledge drive is
just to break even ivith listen-
ers' donations.
«WSMC is where my
heart is. It was one of
the first stations I
worked for when I
joined the business."
-Stephen Ruf
Many listeners are active
supporters of WSMC and
donate often.
"You bet I support SAU. I
give to WSMC," said Stephen
Ruf, a School of Journalism &
Communication professor.
"WSMC is where my heart is.
It was one of the first stations
IworkedforwhenIj„i„,j.
[communications] business •
Others are less enthusiaj,
tic.
"I hate pledge drives I teal
ly don't enjoy asking pe„pk
for money," said Kristij
Holton, a senior music pe,.
formance major who works at
the station. "[But] the good
part is getting to talk to
guests."
The fund-raiser should not
interfere with the regular pro-
gramming too much, ivitl,
more programs than talk,
according to Brooks.
After former development
director of WSMC Diana Fish
left for a division of Florida
Hospital, Brooks had the idea
to get help from students and
guests who have some back-
ground knowledge of the radio
station. This process is still
being arranged.
History club publishes first book
Michelle V. Thomas
This year, the history club will
be publishing a book of their
papers for the first time.
"It's one of the best ideas
ever, because when you're trying
to get into law school, it's really
good to be able to say you've
been published," said Jeff
Dickerson, junior president of
the history club.
The book will include essays
from a collection of history
majors and a few archaeology
majors. Most of the papers come
from the class research methods
in history, and many are senior
theses. However, some papers
have been recommended from
Lisa Diller's, Ben McArtJiur's
and Mark Peach's classes. The
prospect is very exciting, Diller
The College Press will pubUsh
the book, and the papers must
be submitted within the next few
weeks so the book will be ready
before graduation.
The book will cost $15 unless
enough people express interest
in buying the book before it is
published. If enough people
want to purchase the book, the
price may drop.
"I thought of it in part
because of the Legacy and in
part because I felt my feDow stu-
dents and I put a lot of work into
the papers, and we might as well
pubhsb them," said Matt Gilkey,
senior president of the history
club.
All history majors are being
encouraged to submit a polished
paper by e-mail. Students who
are pubhshed are not required to
buy the book.
Students look to mission field
Student missions dedicates new student missionaries during vespers April 15
Autumn Bechtel
The student missions pro-
gram is an important part of
Southern Adventist University,
with more than too students
serving in about 30 countries
around the world.
Prospective student mis-
sionaries have recently begun
theu- training by attending the
missions class, which prepares
them to deal with different cul-
tures and possible situations a
missionary might encounter.
During vespers on April 15,
a special dedication ceremony
will take place for nert year's
student missionaries before
they begin their experience.
Student missions is also
looking for volunteer teachers,
nurses, maintenance workers!
assistant deans, and assistant
chaplams to serve around the
world.
"Being a student missionary
is a Ufe-changing event," said
Joy Brown, student missions
coordinator. "You become
more spiritually dependent on
God, and you see things from a
different perspective."
Students chose to serve as
missionaries for many differ-
ent reasons.
"God told me to go during a
prayer at a Bible study," said
Stratton Tingle, a former stu-
dent missionary and junior
film production, major. "I
wouldn't give up that year of
my hfe for anything. It helped
me find direction in life."
Other students choose to
become student missionaries
for the chance to visit other
countries while serving God.
Some students hear stories
from friends and want similar
experiences. Many just want a
positive change m their life.
Students who are interested
in becoming a student mission-
ary should go to the student
missions' office immediately.
Prospective missionaries must
fill out an application, corn-

1,000 dead in latest Indonesian earthquake
GUMUMO, SiTOU (AP)
Monday's 8.7-magnitude
quake struck off Indonesia's
Sumatra island, some 75 miles
north of Nias.
It initially raised fears of
another tsunami and sent peo-
ple scrambling for high
ground in several Indian
Ocean countries lashed by
December's killer waves, but
no big waves materialized.
North Sumatra Gov. Rizal
Nurdin estimated that 1,000
people died in the latest disas-
ter, but officials feared the
number could climb to 2,000.
Bodies were still being discov-
ered in the ruins of houses and
shops on Wednesday and laid
out in front of churches and
mosques.
As the first foreign military
help arrived, officials said an
estimated 1,000 people had
died in the region's latest large
earthquake.
Residents swarmed over
collapsed buildings in Nias
island's main town of Gunung
Sitoli, searching frantically for
survivors of the country's sec-
ond catastrophe in three
months, after December's
massive quake and tsunami.
French firefighters from the
agency Firefighters Without
Borders used a car jack to free
the legs of 25-year-old televi-
sion repairman Jansen
Silalahia, who had been
pinned between a motorbike
and a cupboard.
As he was lifted out of the
rubble of what was once a

"People knew 1 was there
but it was difficult to reach

Silalahia, who did not appear

relief because now I am safe."

Thc town's hospital was
barely functioning: It lacked
power or water, and it had no
fuel for generators.
"We know there are many
people critically injured," said
Dr. Norman Peeler, a medical
coordinator from the World
Health Organization. "It is
essential they get treatment,
infections spread easily in
open wounds."
Two Singaporean military
helicopters landed Wednesday
and distributed food and
water to a ft-antic crowd of sur-
vivors. They also delivered a
car, medical supplies, genera-
tors and 20 Singaporean
troops and medics. A third
helicopter was unable to touch
down because there were so
many survivors at the landing
U.N. agencies were trying to
coordinate deliveries of food,
fresh water and medical sup-
plies by helicopter. The agen-
cies have stockpiles of supplies

killed more than 126,000 on
Sumatra and left about half a
million homeless.

Bush to overhaul Social Security
Cedar Rapids, Idwa
President Bush insisted
Wednesday that pubhc opinion
is leaning his way on his pro-
posal for a Social Security over-
haul and hinted at political
problems for lawmakers who
oppose him.
A host of recent polls
showed waning public support
for his proposal, and Bush cited
only the part of the surveys that
shows tile public is aware of the
program's long-term fiscal
problems. He only unphcitly
acknowledged the lingering
skittishness among congres-
sional Republicans for his pro-
posal to allow younger workers
to use a part of their Social
Securitj' payroll ta.\es to set up
private retirement accounts.
"To answer the question of
the skeptics, we do have a seri-
ous problem," Bush said in an
interview aired on WMT AM
radio here and on WHO
NewsRadio in Des Moines.
"Now is the time to fix it," Bush
said, "and I think there is a
political price for not getting
mvolved in the process."
Bush flew to Iowa to pro-
mote his plan to remake Social
Security, holding a town hall
meeting that is part of a 6o-day
national tour by the president
and other top administration
officials to push his top domes-
tic priority.
Bush wants to allow younger
workers to set up private
mvestment accounts with part
of their Social Security taxes.
The president also is calling on
Congress to approve a perma-
nent a\ to Social Security's sol-
vency problems, something he
has acknowledged private
accounts will not accomplish.
He has not specified what ben-
efit cuts or other changes he
supports to address the pro-
gram's long-term fiscal ills.
Employers now
liable for age
discrimination
WA3HIHGT0N, D.C. (AP)
The Supreme Court made it
easier Wednesday for any
worker over 40 to allege age
discrimination, ruling that
employers can be held liable
even if they never mtended any
harm.
About 75 million people are
covered by the decision. The
ruling makes it clear that older
workers will have a high
threshold to prove their claims.
Justice John Paul Stevens
wrote that in some cases
employers are within their
rights to treat workers differ-
ently because of age.
"Age.. .not uncommonly has
relevance to an individual's
capacity to engage in certain
types of employment," wrote
Stevens, who at 84 is the court's
oldest member.
The ruling means that older
workers now have less of a bur-
den to raise their claim in court
when suing under federal law,
although ultimately it may still
be hard for them to win.
The decision was unanimous
in dismissing the police offi-
cers' suit, but 5-3 in holding
that such suits are permitted
under age-discrimination laws.
Chief Justice William H.
Rehnquist did not participate
in the decision, which was
heard in November when he
was being treated to thyroid
"This is a major boost for the
fight to eUminate age discrimi-
nation in the workplace.
Evidence that an employer is
mtentionally out to get older
workers is very hard to come
by," said Laurie McCann, sen-
ior attorney for AARP.
The Supreme Court akeadv
has said the so-called disparate
impact claims are allowed
under Title -VII of the 1964 CM
Rights Act, which bans discnro-
ination based on sex, reUgion or
race. On Wednesday, justice
said it should be no differeni
for age discriminatioD
although it ruled the scope
hability is narrower.
Employers say alloiving iK-
parate impact claims under tn^

Employment Act would hinSH
their ability to make necessaO
decisions based on age-neutnl
factors, such as training or P«
formance, even if the unP^

Sorcery replaces prayer Wal-Mart: principle of free choice
When I'm not writing fever-

I'm knocking door to door, sell-

ago, I ran into a man who said
something disturbing. We were
talking about his family,
whether or not they had time or
desire to read any new books,
and he said his nine-year-old
son was in the school's reading
program. It works like this:
they read all the books on a list,
and they gain points towards a
reward. He said his son was
reading Harry Potter as part of
this assignment, and it was all
he could do to keep up with the
reading required to attain the
reward.

ed thinking. Al age nine, magic

I don't agree with Harry
Potter. I've seen snippets of the
movies, and I've heard the
stoiy lines in the books. I've
decided I don't want to read
them, and I don't want to
expose ray future children to
things of that nature.
So what is a parent of my
same opinion to do? Tell their
child they will not be able to
complete the reading program
goal? I wonder if the schools
would allow parents to petition
for substitute books.
Though I'm sure something
could be arranged, I still worry
about how many parents are
just "fulfilling reading require-
ments."
It just seems backwards that

Brian Lauritzen's article last

would have stopped any of
them even if they did.
I worked as a foreman for
my family's concrete compa-

regularly heard unionized
owners complaining about

could share with me why
they threatened to picket us

they pay their picketers $15

Even beyond that, Wal-
Mart foes (which are a
minority) overlook the great
American principle of free
choice. Look, if a Wal-Mart
employee feels like he/she is
getting paid pennies, then he
or she could leave. Go work
for K-Mart or Sears where
life is supposedly better.
Apparently all 1.2 million
Wal-Mart employees are
quite satisfied with the $9.98
an hour they make currently
($11.20 in Austin).
Mr. Lauritzen rightly
accuses Wal-Mart of denying
its employees the "right" of
union representation. Sir,
Wal-Mart also denies its
employees the right to bear

Andrew Bermudez
President Bush has done it again.
He's been all over the country pushing
his "private accounts" solution to the
Social Security crisis and poll numbers
have consistently shown that support
for his plan is waning. So, what does
he do? Yesterday President Bush
announced that he's abandoning the
privatization plans in favor of scrap-
ping the system altogether.
"Social Security Is a complicated
issue," he said in a news conference,
"and I will not be pushed around by
stuff that's complicated. Our only
option to protect ourselves from this
growing threat is to eliminate it."
One newspaper called this plan a
"preemptive attack on Social Security,"
and shockingly enough, it has the sup-
port of most House Republicans and
many Senate Republicans as well.
"We've been debating and debating
this for so long," said Senator Trent
Lott (R-Miss.), "and all the while the
answer has been staring us right in the
face. The time to act is now."
It's still too eariy to tell if the plan
will pass, but chances are better than
you may think. Naturally, Democrats
are outraged— as well they should be.
The president is effectively writing off
one of the most popular and beneficial
government programs created in the
New Deal.
Now, my opponent across the page
will probably hail this as a great step
forward in the size-reduction of gov-
ernment that conservatives love so
much. He'll probably say that tlie gov-
ernment has no business helping out
the elderly and that they should have
planned better for retirement.
That's the republican way, though.
Let the rich have their giant 40iK's
and let everyone else fend for them-
selves. What then is the role of gov-
ernment? To stay out of the way? No!
The role of government is to provide
the best possible environment for ALL
to live in. That includes such social
programs as Medicare and Social
Security.
President Bush is too

You know what I really
like? Pillows. I was reminded
of that when I was at a doc-
tor's appointment a few
montlis ago, waiting in one of
those little rooms. You know
the ones where you have to
wait three times as long for
the doctor to get there as he
actually takes to see you.
Everything in there had the
tjpical stark medical look-
tile floor, white wall, vinyl
chair with crinkly paper on it.
But in the corner, on a little
table, was a pillow. It wasn't
i just one of those cushions
from Great-Aunt Mabel's
1970s sofa either. No, this one
seemed to define ultimate
piUowness." It was soft vet
solid; fluffy, yet finn; „und
yet rectangular. And then to
draw the ultimate head-rest
appeal, it was covered in a
crisp, white, wrinkle-free pil-
lowcase. It was gorgeous. I sat
stanng m awe until the doctor
walked in and ruined the
moment.
But you know what? As
beautiftil looking as that pil-
low was, I could never really
prove that it was the best pil-
low in the world. I could gaze
at it all day long, admiring its
theoretical qualities of com-
fort, but it is not until I actual-
ly lay my head down on that
pillow that I can appreciate
mlly
what a pillow ii
designed for.
So what? Some of us might
DC feehng a bit tired right now
It's perhaps the husiest time
of the school year, with proj-
ects, finals and other stressful
events closing in on us. This is
when we must discover the
rest that Jesus offers us first-
hand. We have read about it
and heard about it from oth-
ers, but now its time to try it
out for ourselves. Looking at it
isn't enough anymore.
So go ahead and lay down
your head on that pillow, and
find out for yourself just how
soft and fluffy it is. Find true
rest in Jesus, and new
strength to persevere.

For a ten-day period the
world delegation of the
Seventh-day Adventist
Church will be meeting in St.
Louis. Mo. for the 58th
General Conference Session
starting Thursday, June 30
and closing Saturday, July 9.
This GC Session's theme
will be "Transformed in
Christ." GC President Jan
Paulsen said in an online GC
Session invitation: "The
theme provides the spiritual
focus of the session, it will be
a celebration of what Christ
has performed in our lives,
and a reminder that we also
have been called to be agents
to transformation within our
communities."

During the GC Session, del-
egates will meet to make
important personnel and pol-
icy decisions for the next five
years. General meetings will
also be held at various times
each day to provide field
along with mus
"A gathering .s
usually described as a Tmsi-
ness session' of the world
church. But don't be misled
by tlie word 'business,' with
its suggestion of the mundane
or the routine. At the heart of
all that we will do, and all our
decision-making, there is
really only one objective: to
better prepare and equip our
church for the mission God
has given us," Paulsen said.
A Day of Spiritual
Emphasis will precede the GC
Session on Wednesday, June
29 from 3 to 5 p.m. and on
Thursday, June 30 from 8
a.m. to 12 p.m. which will
include devotionals, prayer
: and devo-
The opening business
meeting will take place on
Thursday, June 30 starting at
3:00 p.m. COT.

evangelistic training event
which will be running concur-
rently with the GC Session for
youth and young adult atten-
dees between the ages of 16
and 35. In Impact St. Louis,
400 delegates from around

S3TUP pours it thickly on Geezers
Shnadez, Patriots scoreless
Women's soccer team
Shnadez played against the
Patriots Tuesday night at the
end of a beautiful sunny day,
making the field much better
for traction and the game
warmer for the players.
"I felt that both teams were
equally matched. We came
into this match expecting a
harder game, but it didn't
turn out that way. I guess it
comes down to when we play
them again," said Tara Lewis
of Shnadez.
Rosters were full and ready
to go at the start of the game,
avoiding any free goals by way
of forfeit minutes. Interactive
fans became pseudo-coaches
for both teams, yelling at the
referee with good-natured
humor.
Both the Shnadez and the
Patriots exhibited good defen-
sive play in the first half along
with solid mid-fielding. Each
team kept the ball moving
back and forth without very
much offensive action.
At the half, the score stood
0-0 and both teams came
back out with vigor to try and
gain the lead. Although their
efforts were great, opposing
defense refused either team
from scoring.
"The girls played hard. The
other team was good as well. I
though that we improved in
the second half, but we could-
n't score," said coach of the
Patriots Bryce Martin.
At the end of regular time,
the score remained zeroes,
ending the match in a tie.
Each team is looking forward
to their next meeting to settle
the score.
What an unforgettable sea-
yon-fmale math-up between
men's hockey teams Maple
Syrup and Geezers was on
Monday night! These teams
are very talented, and came
into this arena with their
Rame faces on. But Syrup
seemed to have brought more
than just their appetites for
competition to tlie table as
they took home the victory, 2-
"They had a lot of good
energy and their goalie saved
a lot of shots. We had some
good opportunities but their
goalie just really won it for
them tonight. They all played
a very good game, I'm not tak-
ing anything away from them,
but their goalie saved them
tonight," said Geezer's team
captain and center Stephen
Pollett.
The first period went
underway with an almost
immediate goal scored by
Syrup's Ronald Odiyar, assist-
ed by team captain Ben
Sayler, with less than two
minutes into the game. With
8:27 on the clock, Odiyar
struck again with another goal
unassisted, opening up an
early 2-0 lead. The Geezers
knew that they couldn't let the
period end unanswered, and
five minutes later, PoUett
slapped in a goal, assisted by
Gary Greer.
In the second period,
Geezer's goalkeeper Dennis
Negron exhibited leopard-Hke
reflexes pouncing on almost
every puck fired on goal to
stop Syrup from scoring
another goal in the game.
Sayler began suffering ago-
nizing body cramps in the sec-
ond period, but knowing his
duties as a team leader and
the weight of this game, he
refused to quit due to injury.
Late in the second period,
the Geezers were down 1-2
and were desperate to score.
Determined to tie the game.
Pollett called a time-out with
2:48 left in the game.
Their strategy was set as
each player on the Geezer's
took his position. The face-off
fell in their favor, and shot
after shot was fired on goal
Every shot drew screaming
fans sitting on the stage to
hop off in anticipation! Like a
scene stolen from the Matrix,
Syrup's goalie Morse
Stonecyphen ricocheted every
shot in an almost effortless
fashion! Time expired with
Stonecyphen on top of the
puck, and the win in Syrup's
possession.
"I just had to concentrate
on staying low and keeping
[the puck] out of the net, cut-
ting down the angles and
shots, and making sure that
nobody got in too close," said
Stonecyphen.
Stonecyphen finished the
night with an incredible 27
saves. Negron finished vnth

Southern
hosts Lego
challenge
The School of Computing
hosted the schooVs first Lego
robot competition called the
Southern Challenge Sunday,
April 3, in the gym.
"It was cool to see how
teams worked together to con-
quer one common goal," said
Michael Younkin, junior media
production major.
About 20 students in grades
five through 12 participated in
the event, and 35 students,
alumni and faculty volunteered
to help make the event run
smoothly.
The Southern Challenge was
held as part of the Adventist
Lego League, which is a FIRST
Lego League partner. The
FIRST Lego League, started in
1998, is an international pro-
gram for children that focuses
on things like team building,
problem solving and creativity.
In 2003, more than 4S,ooo
children participated in Lego
challenges.
The challenge is open for
local Adventist students as well
as any area school, and any
Adventist school in the
Southern Union.
"We hope that the commu-
nity and the Southern Union
will take advantage of this
exciting, educational opportu-
nity," said Tyson Hall, an assis-
tant professor in the School of
Computing, who helped coor- :
dinate the event.
It usually costs between
$400-$500 'the first year to
start up a team. This covers
purchasing the Lego robots,
playing field and registenng for
the event. The follomng years
teams typically pay beWeen i
$2OO-$250 for the new playing
field, additional parts and the
University cave reopens
The Student Park Cave offi-
cially reopened to the public
Friday, April i, after being
sealed for more than lo years.
"I've never caved before,
but the things I saw in the cave
were so beautiful," said Melita
Pujic, a senior mass communi-
cations major. "It was like
nothing I've ever seen before.
It really makes me want to
explore more and I'm happy
that we have this now freely
open to us.
With opportunities for cav-
ing and education, the Student
Park Cave, located across the
stream behind Flemming
Plaza, is now open for students
and the community.
Students and those associ-
ated with the university can
sign in and get a key to visit
the cave. Community mem-
bers, however, must call and
arrange for a guide except on
the first Saturday of every
month when the cave will be
open to the public from 1:30
p.m. to 5 p.m.
The cave was closed in 1992
because students kept break-
ing in and vandalizing the
cave, said Mike Hills, student
park cave manger. Now pro-
tected by a locked steel gate,
the cave will be supervised by
Southern's School of
Education and Psychology,
Korine Juhl, a graduate stu-
dent in outdoor education and
one of the cave guides, said the

Cave
continued from P.l
cave makes Southern
unique.
"Soutliem is blessed to have
a cave because how many col-
lege campuses can say they
have one?" she said. "It's just a
fun Httle cave you can go
through in an hour."
With the cave's reopening,
Southern is looking to use the
nearby resource.
"Southern is the only univer-
sity in the Chattanooga area
offering caving classes," Hill
said. "But the caving class is just
one of the uses. It will be used
by the wilderness first aid class
because the cave offers real-life
situations for the students."
Other departments are also
looking to use the cave.
"Right now the biology
department is taking a fauna
census, finding out what types
of animals are in the cave," said
Kenyon Moon, a senior outdoor
education major and another
cave guide.
Moon said it's also an oppor-
tunity to study water flow and
pollution.
There are many more educa-
tional uses and Hill hopes more
departments will use the cave in
the future. But he said he really
wants students to just have fun
learning.
"We'll tell you about safe cav-
ing, youll sign a waiver and
then you're free to have fun."
Hill said. "There's no need to
bust in anymore, and we won't
charge you either."

Senate reconsiders engagement ring policy
University Senate is recon-
sidering Southern's policy on
engagement rings; currently
there is no specific policy
detailing the wearing of
engagement rings other than a
statement on jewelry.
The Southern student hand-
book states, "The following are
specifically prohibited; Jewelry
including bracelets, friendship
bands, necklaces, chains,
medallions, earrings, and rings
(except wedding bands for
married students). However,
medical alert chains and
bracelets are allowed. Students
who wear jewelry may be sus-
pended and must pay a $25 re-
registration fee to be reinstat-
ed."
Some students are not aware
of the distinction the school
makes between a wedding band
and an engagement ring.
"One of my teachers told me
that I can't wear my engage-
ment ring, so I took it off," said
Kirsten Daughterty, senior
English major. "I was a little
mad at first, but I realized that
it's the policy. I wear it because
it has meaning to me, so I just
wear it when I'm not here."
The issue of whether to allow
the wearing of engagement
rings was reviewed about five
years ago, but the University
Assembly overwhelmingly
abstained. Recently, the matter
was reintroduced by the
Student Affairs Committee to
the University Senate. The
Committee presented their
review for consideration at the
last Faculty Senate meeting.
After a brief discussion, the
majority voted to allow wearing
of engagement rings. But sever-
al concerned members of the
Senate later voiced their unease
about the decision, saying that
full consideration hasn't been
given, and the vote might have
File photo by Rachel [^

been made in haste.
"The [Student Affairs] report
was too short and incomplete,"
said Keith Snyder, chairman of
the University Senate. "Most
students think it's a religious
thing, but it's not when it's at
this level. We need to discuss
the issue m more detail. We
have to know exactly what we
are doing and how it's going to
affect us later."
Although the matter has
been voted on, it is now bemg
redirected to the Faculty Senate
Committee. It will be given
more consideration at the next
meeting, where future ramifi-
cations to the university will be
observed.
Archaeology exhibit receives award of excellence
The Lynn H. Wood
Archaeological Museum
received an award of excellence
from the Tennessee Association
of Museums Tuesday, March 22.
Ron Clouzet, dean of the reli-
gion department, accepted the
award on behalf of the museum.
"It is confirmation regarding
the hard work that Dr. Hasel
and his wife have put into the
museum, resulting in a high-
quality teaching place that is
recognized by the highest muse-
um group in Tennessee,"
Clouzet said.
The award was part of an
annual event held by the
Tennessee Association of
Museums. This year, it was held
in Clarksville.
Ruthie Gray, director of
Marketing and University
Relations, also attended the
event.
"The award ceremony was
preceded by a banquet.
Everyone ate and had a chance
to visit, and the ceremony was
really a chance to be recognized
among peers," Gray said. The
award is not only a source of
pride for faculty; students are
excited as well.
"Everybody I tell about the
award is prett>' excited about it,
and the archaeology . students
are excited about it," said Cecilia
Luck, archaeology student and
docent coordinator for the
museum. Luck added that the
award makes a name for the
university.
"We are the only biblical
archaeology museum represent-
ed in Tennessee."
Not only does the award help
establish the museum in the
archaeological community, it
comes as a source of encourage-
ment to Luck.
"It had an impact on me
because I had been feeling kind
of discouraged as far as what
kind of impact the museum had
been having on the outside
world," said Luck. "This just
showed me what kind of a bless-
ing this museimi can be as a wit-
ness to the non-Christian com-
munity."

SA experiences shortage of media leaders
There is a big possibility
that there may be no Joker or
Memories for next school
Applications have been
available to the student body
for two month.s but only one
entry has been turned in.
Media board members are not
certain why there hasn't been
much response from the stu-
dent body this year.
"I find it really puzzling,
this is something that would
look really good on their pro-
file," said Volker Henning,
dean of the School of
Journalism ^
Communication.
So far Omar Bourne has
been chosen as the Accent
editor and Michael Younkin
as the Strawberry Festival
producer.
Some of the abilities stu-
dents need for being an editor
for Joker or Memories are
being familiar mth photo
shop, desktop publishing, and
the willingness to work hard.
But some students and fac
ulty think students are too
busy to handle the duties and
dedication needed for these
jobs.
"I think that students are
already busy. Since they do
not know what the job
requirements are, they
assume it is just a lot of extra
work." said Henry Hicks
Joker adviser and executive
director of information sys-
tems.
Many students say they are
ivUling to work as editors for
these jobs as long as they are
not involved in the Student
Association on campus
because it could take up too
much time.
"I would do it, but I don't
want to be part of SA," said
Eric Henton, current Joker
editor. "They're trying to find
a high qualified person and
then use them as free labor for
the rest of the year."
The director of student life
and activities disagrees.
Omar Bourne will be the editor
ofThe Southern Accent for the
2005-2006 school year.
"First of all it's a SA posi-
tion, said Kari Shute. "They
are getting paid for this job.
Everyone is asked to con-
tribute to part of this team,
because that's what we are
and that's all we ask," said
Kari Shultz.
Applications for Memories
and Joker are still available m

On Thursday and Friday,

public high-school students,
academy students from out-
side the Southern Union, and
those with their GED will
have the opporturiity tdView
Southern.
Southern's students have
been gracious to the visitors
in the past.
"It makes our job a lot eas-
ier when students smile and
talk to the visitors while they
are touring the campus," said
Marc Grundy, director of
enrollment.
About 100 high-school stu-
dents are expected on campus
during these two days. The
visitors will pay their way
here, and Southern vrill pay
for their stay at a hotel. They
^11 interact with university
students and see what their
possible major has to offer.
Besides touring Southern's
^mpus, students will tour the
Tennessee Aquarium. In addi-
tion, $10,000 in scholarships
will be awarded.
A total of 26 percent of
Southern students come from
academies outside the

schools, and home school. To
reach them. Southern uses
information gathered from
SAT exams and puts posters
and inserts on bulletin boards
at their local churches.
Fewer high school students
visit during PreView Southern
in the winter compared to in

Union visit the campus.
However, statistics show that
more students who come dur-

Amnesty International, a
club like no other here on

human rights in the United
States and across the world,
with the mission of creating

The members of Amnesty

or culture that typically
divides people," said April

people know about an issue,
they are more likely to get
involved and be a voice for
those who cannot speak up
for their rights. The goal is to
create a situation where vic-
tims will be defended by gov-

Club members feel that by
being part of this club they
can do something for the
world and their country.
"Here in school we learn a

about the world and I can do
something about it," said
Valerie Miller, a junior liber-

The College of Cardinals on
Wednesday set April 18 as the
date for the historic start of the
conclave to elect a successor to
Pope John Paul II, as the
Vatican made final arrange-
ments for the funeral that is
expected to draw millions of pil-
grims and world leaders to
Rome.
The decision came after the
cardinals read John Paul's spir-
itual testament during a pre-
conclave meeting Wednesday,
Vatican spokesman Joaquin
Navarro-Valls said, adding that
the text would be released on
Thursday.
Navarro-Valls said the cardi-
nals would celebrate a morning
Mass on April 18, then be
sequestered in the Sistine
Chapel in the early afternoon to
start the conclave.
According to church law,
prelates are expected to hold at
least one ballot on the first day
of a conclave. If no one gets the
required two-thirds nmjority
after about 12 days, cardinals
may change procedure and
elect the pope by simple major-
ity.
The date was set on the third
day of preparatory meetings of
cardinals who have converged
on Rome ahead of Friday's
funeral and burial of John Paul.
Pilgrims continued to flock
to St. Peter's Square on
Wednesday, jamming up streets
as they waited for up to 12 hours
to pay their final respects to
John Paul, who has been lying
in state in the basilica since
Monday afternoon.
More than 1 million pilgrims
will have tiled solemnly by the
crimson-robed body by the end
of Wednesday, at a rate of about
15.000-18,000 people an hour
in a neariy around-the-clock
procession, according to calcu-
lations by the Italian civil pro-
tection department.
John Paul's spiritual testa-
ment, read Wednesday, was a
15-page document written in his
native Polish over the course of
his pontificate starting in 1976,
a year after he was elected.

houses.
It turns out they were onto

Richard was really
Randolph Dial, a convicted
killer from Oklahoma who
escaped from prison nearly 11
years ago. And Samantha was
really Bobbi Parker, the wife of
the prison's assistant warden
who says she was held captive
all along.
A rip generated by the TV
show "America's Most
Wanted" led law enforcement
to the mobile home where Dial
was arrested Monday, said FBI
agent Salvador Hernandez.
Parker was found a short time
later working at a chicken
farm. She told police that she
stayed with the killer out of
fear her family would be
harmed if she fled.
"I was a hostage-taker and
will probably live to regret it,"
said Dial, 60. "But now I don't.
Doing a life sentence, at my
age, I wouldn't trade it for the
past 10 1/2 years."
Dial waived extradition and
was returned to Oklahoma. He
arrived at the Oklahoma State
Penitentiary in McAlester early
Wednesday and was placed in
the prison's top-security unit,
□ Center, Texas. At right is Chief Deputy f
corrections department
spokesman Jerry Massie said.
On Tuesday, Parker, 42, was
reunited with her husband as
authorities tried to piece
together details of the strange
case. "It looked like a husband
and \vife who hadn't seen each
other in 11 years," Texas
Ranger Tom Davis said of the
emotional reunion.
The Parkers have two
daughters, who were 8 and 10
at the time of the disappear-
ance. The family still lives in
Oklahoma, where the escape
occurred.
Tanya Joy Parker, the sister
of Randy Parker, said the chil-
dren did not make the trip to
Texas. "They are elated, but
after 10 years you'd be a little
stunned," she said.
Sheriff Newton Johnson ini-
tially said Bobbi Parker wanted
to stay on the chicken farm,
but Hernandez said this was a
misinterpretation. Hernandez
said that while it is unusual for
someone to be held against
one's will for so long, it is not
unprecedented.
"There have been cases of
this kind and typically this will
result when someone believes
family members might be in
danger," Hernandez said.
The FBI continued to ques-
tion Bobbi Parker on Tuesday
Residents of Campti say the

Delivery man stuck in elevator for 80 hours
Hew York, NY (AP)
Ming Kuang Chen was writ-
ten off after vanishing Friday
night while making a delivery
for Happy Dragon restaurant at
a high-rise apartment building.
As police conducted a mas-
sive search and days passed,
speculation grew that the 35-
year-old Chen was the victim of
armed bandits or some other
urban horror in the'Brdiix bor-
ongh.
But more than three days
later, tlie Dehvery man emerged
^vith a mean thirst and a tale of
suRival: He had been stuck by
himself in an elevator the whole
time, without food or water. He
was pulled out at about 5 a.m.
Tuesday, 80 hours later, by fire
fighter responding to a security
officer's call for help from the
high-rise.
Chen, an undocumented
immigrant from the Fujian
Province in southeastern China
who speaks mostly Mandarin,
apparently tried to tell rescuers
how long he had been trapped
by circling his watch dial with
his finger numerous times, said
Charlie Markey, a Fire
Department spokesman.
"He was in very good condi-
tion," said Steve Osborne,
spokesman for Montefiore
Medical Center. He had no food
\Vith him in the elevator, having
delivered his last meal.
On Tuesday authorities con-
ducted a door-to-door canvass
of the apartment complex over
the- weekend to look for Chen.
They questioned why police offi-
cers and the building's private
security force found no sign of
Chen, who claimed he had
repeatedly cried out and pushed
an alarm button in the elevator.
"I tried to knock (down) the
door and kept screaming for
help, but no response," Chen

Tuesday as Congress began considering whether to renew those
powers and other sections of the anti-terror law. Gonzales and

aroused civil liberties concerns. Mueller also asked lawmakers to

Figuring Abstractions'
student art show debuts
li Miirlin riiiiNlK.-s licr iibMruct puinlings Sunday at her apart-
t. She lias been working on Uic eolleellon since Sciitembcr.
Senior fine arl major Cristi
Martin, is preparing for her
(iciiul art show entitled
"Fif;iiriti(; Abstractions."
"M.\' inspiration for this art
slinw was tlic human figure,"
Martin said. "1 zoomed in on
certain body areas and then
created stencils out of them
with abstract colors and
shapes. I am really excited for
people to see my artwork."
The exhibit debuts
Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m.
and will run until April vi in
the Brock Hall gallery on sec-
ond floor.
All of the art pieces are
stylized with color variations.
The dominant color of the
collection is brown, but red,
pink, blue, and green are all
visible. The collection con-
sists of 12 paintings and five
drawings, all varying in sizes
from 3 feet by 4 feet to 18
inches by 24 inches.
"This show will recognize
what Cristi has already
achieved," said John
Williams, associate professor
in the School of Visual Art &
Design. "She pushes herself to
move from representational
to abstraction. It has been
great to witness the drawings
and paintings evolve, to see
Christi really take ownership
of her work."
Students also have high
expectations for the show.
"Christi has a unique style
and vision," said senior Liz
Davies. "I can't wait to see
what designs and abstractions
she comes up with. I know
this mil be a great exhibit for
her."
Artistic inspiration can
come from anyone or any-
thing, but Martin focused on
people.
"My biggest inspirations
were Andy Warhol and
Alexander Calder, as well as
friends and stencils," Martin
said. "I mainly want these
pieces to stand on their own
\vithout explanation. I want
people to make their own
judgments."
Although no prices have
been set, all of the paintings
will be for sale on the opening
night.

Stereotypes
vide spiritual food for the hun-
gr>' souls in the congregation
and bring heahng to the deject-
ed. Nurses help to heal physi-
cal pain. This ministry of
bringing both body and soul to
Christ is not so different from
what Jesus did. First he healed
people's diseases, and then
told them of a never-ending
love and salvation.
Unfortunately, the stereo-
type will always exist. This
entire column is based on the
stereotype that pastors are
only men, and it doesn't
account for the women in the
field. But in reality, the stereo-
types don't matter. What it
comes down to is that a man
should marry the woman he
loves, can spend his life with,
and feels led by God to marry,
regardless of her profession,
whether it is nursing or art.

every moment of it. The best thing we
can do for her memory is to forget. Let's
forget the protesters on the streets, the
battles in the courtrooms, the sad photo-
graphs and remember the Terri Shiavo
of before.
What did Shiavo want for her final
days? We don't know. Was removing
her feeding tube a cruel way of ending
her life? Perhaps, but so is doing noth-
There are those of us who believe
that under certain conditions the cru-
dest thing you can do to someone you
love is to force them to live," (Anna
Quindlen, Newsweek, April 4. 2005)
The past few weeks, we were bom-
barded by account after account of the
slow death of a hardly unique Florida
woman. The story of Terri Schiavo,
although by no means the only
American in her situation, became a
media circus due to the intense legal
and public-relations battle between
her husband and her parents. Even
Congress and a pajama-clad
President Bush jumped
into action, trying to
save her life.
There are
countless diffi-
cult questions
that this case
raises. Pardon
me for a
moment, howev-
even more basic
question. Say Mr.
Schiavo, eschewing
the courts' glacial pace,
had walked into his wife's
hospital room, pulled a gun, and shot
his invalid wife in the head. There's no
question that he would have been
roundly condemned, tried, and likely
found guilty of murder. What if one of
the doctors or nurses, during Mrs.
Schiavo's slow period of dying, had
simplv injected a severe overdose of
painkiller into her patient, bringing
her life to a quick, painless end? The
results would have been similar.
Although these would be far more
humane, less painful ways of putting
her out of her misery, refusing her
food and water - subjecting her to a
slow, agonizing death, lasting days or
weeks - has been ordered by a court of
law. Am I the only one who sees some-
thing wrong here?
This is no right to die; this is not a
way to choose an honorable death
instead of lingering for years. Rather,
if they can get a doctor to sign off on it,
spouses like Michael Schiavo have the
right to decide - possibly for merce-
nary interests - to end the
life of an apparently
hopeless patient, but
only by one of the
most horrifying
methods possible
that doesn't
involve instru-
ments of torture!
Something needs
to be done here.
Perhaps euthanasia
should be reserved
for
when the
family can agree upon
it. And certainly there
must be a better way than star-
The most important moral of the
story, however, is to have a living will;
tell your loved ones what you want
done if someday that patient is you.
Remember, Terri Schiavo was only in
her 20s when she suffered her mysteri-
ous heart attack. The most important
decision of your life (or death!), if you
haven't made it first, might be made by
a judge who doesn't know you from
Adam. And then there's nothing you,
your lawyer, your mom, your friends,
or even the President of the United
States, can do about it. Don't let that
happen: decide for yourself.

Actor urges students to find Jesus | (ig-f GOVGrpH

Walking in Jesus' sandals—
that's what Christian actor Bruce
Marchiano experienced as he
played the role of Jesus in the
film series entitled, "Matthew:
*The Visual Bible." Bruce
Marchiano came to Southern's
campus on Thursday, March 31
to share his story and experi-
ences with students and faculty
at convocation.
"My dreams in college
seemed so big, but when I got
together with Jesus— wow!"
Marchiano said. Marchiano got
his start working on the set of
the murder/mystery drama
"Murder, She Wrote." "My
dream was to have my own
series or sitcom, but the Lord
said, 'No, you're going to play
Me'," he said.
One day Marchiano found
himself on a hilltop overlooking
Universal Studios and he real-
ized he had to decide whom he
was going to serve.
"The next thing I know, I'm
growing a beard and wearing
sandals, and I'm on a hilltop in
Morocco playing the role of
Jesus and preaching the Sermon
on the Mount," Marchiano said.
"I thought to myself this is who
Jesus really is; Jesus— through
all the religious smog and high
talk— Jesus."
Marchiano spoke of a particu-
lar moment in filming
"Matthew" in which a blind
native of Morocco was brought
into one of the scenes when
Jesus healed a blind man.
Marchiano watched carefully as
stepped closer and
reached up to his face with grimy
hands and fingernails.
Marchiano said he broke down
and wept at the end of shooting
that scene because it had
touched him so much.
Acting out the crucifixion
scene was especially touching to
Marchiano. "You hear that sfory
all your life, and then you realize
while you're hanging up there ■
it's a living hell— and I'm just ,
faking it!" he said. "And the Lord
whispered to my heart, 'See I did
it for you— I love you!' " 1
Marchiano ended his talk j
with a plea for students to come .
to Jesus and to open their Uves j
to Him. "Don't come to religion,
come to Jesus— He loves you,"
he said.

B3^g£Ji26maoLcom with story tips.
If you are like me, then maybe
you have realized that when
you're tempted by the devil,
you're tempted to go at it alone.
Many times I have tried to stand
up to the devil, even thinking
that I was doing it the right way.
But ultimately, whenever I go
toe to toe with the devil, I lose. I
try and try again not to give in,
but ultimately I do. As I've been
studying my Bible lately, I think
I may have found the answer.
Unless we are covered, inside
and out, with Jesus Christ, we
will lose. How can we be covered
inside and out?
In Leviticus 17, it says that the
life of all flesh is its blood. Here
it is talking about the rules for
eating meat and how we are not
to partake of any of its blood
because it is the life of the ani-
mal. If we eat meat and partake
of its blood, then its life is in us.
Next let's look at John 6:53-
54- Jesus says that unless we
drink His blood there is no life in
us; if we drink His blood then we
-will have eternal life. This is how ■
we get covered on the inside. Not
literally drinking His blood, but
by being filled with His life on
the inside.
Galatians 2:20 says, "I have
been crucified with Christ and it
is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me." Unless Christ is the
life that is in us, we can't be par-
takers of eternal Hfe. So if we get
covered on the inside by allow-
ing Christ to Uve through us and
in us, what about our outward
bodies?
Ephesians 6:n says, "Put on
the whole armor of God." The
armor of God is our outward
protection. No, it'
metal armor that ie^S^

beheve me, the devil sees it. He
knows when you are covered
and he will come at you \vith
everything that he has. He htH
sneak any little temptation he
can into your mind.
But here's where we go
wrong. When we start feeling
the temptation creeping up, (ve
try to stand up against it. We say,
"I'm not going to do it." We are
standing way too much. When
we are covered on the inside and
out, we need to realize that we
need to do less standing and
more falling on our face before
God.
That's our part. The only way
the devil can be defeated in our
lives is for us to get out of God's
way and let Him work We get in
His way by trying to fight the
devil ourselves. The only way to
fight is to give it over to God. As
I've been studying the books of
Moses recently, I was in awe of
how whenever the Israelites
were rebelling against God or
complaining about Moses, it
says that Moses humbled him-
self before God and pleaded with
God. God said the reason He
able to speak with Moses n
to-man was because Moses
so humble. That's the key for us
todav. WeUve in a society where
being humble is bad. But it's our
only chance. We need to pray to
become humble and let God
fight on our behalf

Hic-a-doo-la
defeats the
Fruity Loops
Men's soccer teams Hic-a-
doo-la and Fruity Loops played
Tuesday night on field one, a
nice change from the rougher
ground conditions of field
tliree. Fruity Loops were one
man short at the start of the
iirst half giving Hic-a-doo-la
the advantage numerically as
well as some mental momen-
In the first half, Hic-a-doo-
la's Justin Hill did a throw-in
from the sideUne with his clas-
sic front handspring throw that
connected with forward Heidar
Thordarson's head for the first
goal of the game.
"Justin had an awesome
throw-in that just bounced right
through the defenders giving
me the perfect header opportu-
nit>- and I just finished it off to
make the goal," said
Thordarson.
Minutes later following more
pressure from Hic^a-doo-la's
offense, a loose ball rolled back
to Keith Bowman who blasted it
home for the second goal of the
evening, making the score 2-0.
In the second half, Hic-a-
doo-la's offense just wouldn't
quit as they kept pushmg the
ball off of numerous break-
aways. On one breakaway,
Thordarson rebounded his first

In Women's Southern
Division soccer, teams KicWn' It
and Hot Girlz took the field
Tuesday evening.
In the first half, Kickin' It took
command early by forcmg the
flow of the game mto the offen-
sive territory. The Hot Girlz
defenses struggled to keep the
hall away ft-om theh goal as
Kickm' It's forwards pressed the
ball. Kickm' It's Emily Wilkens
kicked a well-balanced shot
from midfield but it fell mto the
clutches of Hot Girlz goahe Sara
Colon.
"I think we played well as a
team, but we lacked mtensity,"
said Hot Girk player Heidi
Evans. Throughout the majority
of the first half, Kickm' It's mid-
field set up a near unpenetrable
defense that hmdered Hot Girlz
from getting the ball withm scor-
ing hmits. This also gave Kickui'
It's goalie and team captain
Lyim Farrow plenty of time for
It with the Hot Girlz
mental preparation,
■The first half we just basical-
ly played together and made
sure we knew where each other
were,' said Kickm' It's forward-
nud Kristi Cook "We watched
where we were kicking the ball
mstead of just randomly Mckuig
it, and just played together as a
team."
At halflune. Hot Ghiz coach
Omar Bourne talked about
fiiture changes.
"I thmk we're bundhng too
much, no one is playing m the
middle. We need to spread out
and conb-ol the hall," Bourne
said.
Bourne's plan seemed to have
made the diifference m the sec-
ond half as the Hot Girlz were
able to get tile ball onto scoring
grounds for most of the half.
This set up several goal attempts
from Hot Ghlz players Rachel
Roddy and Melissa Sanchez, but
by now Farrow was more than
ready and prevented every drive.
"Second half [Hot Girlz] defi-

nitely had some awesome kicks
on the goal, they were very
aggressive gettmg in there," said
Cook
Later m the half, the Hot Girlz
were slapped with numerous
handball calls, which led to some
mild frustration towards the ref-
eree by Coach Bourne.
Kickin' It took
the turnovers and re-established
goal advantage. Unfortunately,
the game would end scoreless,
but each team gained new per-
spectives on one another

Student to
face fines
after fire
A Southern student could
tace up to $1,000 in fines for
starting a fire in his Talge Hall
bathroom. Joshua Bandel,
freshman business major, set his
bathroom on
stole the thinner'"""""'""
from Landscape Services and
used it to strip paint from his
bike.
After pouring the unused lac-
quer thinner in the toilet Bandel
set it on fire said David
Houtchens, Campus Safety fire
technician.
"It was not a bright idea but it
came to my mind," Bandel said.
Bandel's roommate Josh
Hanson was sitting at his desk
when the fire started.
"I heard him yell out, 'Fire!
Oh crap!' I looked up and saw
chemicals burning in the toilet."
Hanson said.
Bandel tried to extinguish the
fire with a plunger, then he
poured water into the toilet.
"I was worried, I started pan-
icking," Bandel said.
Houtchens said Bandel could
face fines for starting a fire, set-
ting off smoke detectors and for
having a flammable substance in
the dorm. He could also be fined
for keeping the Bic lighter and
firecrackers in the dorm.
Some students think the fines
Bandel may be required to pay
are fair.
"Because of his ignorance he
has to pay the consequences,"
said Abner Sanchez, freshman
elementary education major.
Others have a different view.
"It would be fair if the person
is fined according to the dam-
ages made," said Juan Perla,
junior theology major.
Bandel said he has learned
his lesson.
"I'm done with that," he said.
"It's not just one person I have to
worry about if I play ^vith fire m

Wolftever to be cleaned
It's time for spring cleaning,
and volunteers and at least one
general biology class are going to
clean creeks around Southern.
The second annual Wolftever
Creek Day will begin on April 17
at 9 a.m..
Volunteers will clean small
sti-eams that flow into Wolftever
Creek, which runs beside the
greenway. Along with tlie work,
participants will learn about the
creek that provides the drinking
water for CoUegedale.
"It is more- of an educiitional
thing, to get local people to learn
about Wolftever Creek and
improve it," said Dr. David
Ekkens, a biology professor.
Southern will be worldng witli
TVA to clear out shrubbery and
trash along the banks of two
smaller creeks that flow into
Wolftever. One is near the mar-
ried student housing and
Southern village, and the other is
Wilkerson Branch near
CoUegedale Academy and the
Student Park. Southern will pro-
vide the labor, under 'IVA^s
direction.
Participants will also be able
to do a scavenger liunt. Tliey can
go to the various work sites and
gather information about
Wolftever Creek.
"We want to raise public
awareness so people aren't
dumping oil in that creek,"
Ekkens said. "When you take a
drink out of a drinking fountain,
you want to make sure it's safe to
drink."

Festival remembers school year

opportunity to reflect on
school memories at
Strawberry Festival.
"I thinlt Strawberry Festival

school year,' said Sarah
Simulus, a sophomore psy-
chology major.

Bolivia graduate pro-
gram will be reinstated
ThatcheTcontinues to increase
Southern is reinstating the
University of Bolivia graduate
program, where Southern stu-
dents attend school in Bolivia to
receive a graduate degree.
However, before the program can
be reinstated it must be fully
accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools,
"The thing that impressed me
the most with the previous pro-
gram was the effort to keep up
with what was required so the
program was as good as possi-
ble," said Alberto dos Santos,
dean of the school of education
and psychology.
In February 2005 the Board of
Trustees gave approval to begin
the process of reestablishing the
program. The aim is to have
classes begin again in January
2007.
There will be a group going to
Bolivia in July to evaluate the
facilities. The group includes
Katie A. Lamb, dos Santos, and
Don VanOmam, dean of the
school of business. Also going will
be one employee from records,
tlie finance office, and the libraiy.
Tliey will bring back a translated
document to show SACS the pro-
gram is an equality program and
should tlierefore be accredited.
"Accreditation is a term that
means being of the same quality.
Students must have access to the
same resources they would liave
here at Soudiem. Tlieir library,
technological equipment, and
their professors must all be com-
parable," said Katie A. Lamb,
dean of graduate studies and
associate vice president of aca-
demic administration.
The program will offer a
Master's in
Education/Curriculum &
Instruction and the MBA in
Finance. There are two sessions
per year, each lasting for four
weeks. The first is taught in
January, and the second in July.
Faculty from Southern will
travel to the school to teach the
classes.
Everything is taught in
Spanish so interpreters will be
used if needed. This means the
teachers must carefully choose
what they will cover because their
time is cut in half due to transla-
The impact of the education
program and the business pro-
gram has been tremendous as far
as the SDA schools in the country
are concerned. Now the schools
are bemg lead by graduates of the
education program. Also the
business leaders are graduates of
our program. This is making a
tremendous impact tliroughout
the country," dos Santos said.
So far, 60 students have grad-
uated with masters in Education
Curriculum and Instruction, and
40 people have graduated with
their MBA, Anotlier ig-20 are
expected to graduate from both
programs combined in
November to finish the pro-
gram until it is reinstated with
accreditation.

The increased security due
to break-ins and theft of
underwear in Thatcher Hall is
still being updated to insure
the greatest safety for dorm
Since the robberies,
Southern has responded by
trimming bushes, continuing
night watches and instalHng a
locked courtyard gate.
"Hopefully, we can do
something to prevent future
break-ins from happening,"
said Nancy Daily, risk manag-
er for Southern.
According to Daily, the
Crisis Management
Committee is searching for
new ways to promote
Thatcher's security. The com-
mittee is discussing the possi-
bility of installing vandal
proof window
laser-beam alarms.
The committee would also
like to increase lighting
around Thatcher. On the
night of the second break-in,
many lights around the dor-
mitory were not working.
Security later discovered a
breaker switched off.
According to David
Houtchens, Campus Safety
supervisor, night watches
patrol Thatcher every Friday
and Saturday evening.
Houtchens said Campus
Safety is having a difficult
time finding people who are
willing to work late shifts.
For some students, the
patrols are not comforting.
"The foot patrols do not
make me feel safer because
they are sporadic," said Kessia
Lawson, a senior internation-
al studies major and Thatcher
resident assistant.
Southern is considering
offering additional insurance
coverage for residents' per
sonal belongings. The univer
ti'^tb'^'K^VP'^''^^' states
that the school is not respon-'
sible for students' stolen
belongings. The insurance
coverage policy ^vill probablv
change within the next few
years, Daily said.
The Crisis Management
Committee is discussing many
long-term projects. Plans
need to be approved by the Ad
Council before work can
begin. Improvements will be
seen in the years to come.
Eston Pyle, sergeant of the
Collegedale Police
Department, said a $500
reward is being offered to
anyone who contributes infor-
mation leading to the arrest
and conviction of the intrud-
er. The police have a few
leads, but they are still look-
ing for evidence.
Music majors perform senior recitals
Every student has assign-
ments before they graduate,
and seniors in the school of
music are no different. Each
senior is required to perform
a recital before graduation.
For some busy seniors, it can
be a nerve-wracking and time-
consuming endeavor.
Kelly Razzouk, a senior
music major, has been work-
ing on her performance pieces
since September. She will per-
form Thursday, April 14 at
7:30 p.m. in Ackerman
Auditorium.
"I have worked hard and
practiced too many hours to
count, and when April 14
comes I just want to sing the
songs and have fun doing it,"
Razzouk said. "I am doing

shrub that is foreign to the area,
but has been planted along the

ticular species as invasive.
"It grows like mad," Ekkens
said. "It's so thick you can't
\valk through it."
The privet \vill be replaced
with either grass, mulch, or
other native vegetation, so visi-

al biolog)' class to Wolftever

the audience to be kept ,

Razzouk also said pianist
Johan Sentana made practice
easy. Sentana, a junior music
performance major, has his
own junior recital coming up
on April 21.
Brian Lauritzen, a senior
music performance and
broadcast major, performed
his cello recital on March 24.
While he's glad it's over,
Lauritzen-believes all the hard
work is worth it.
"The goal is to provide
every music major with a
major performance under
their belt," he said.
Andrea Ulvoczky, a junior
marketing major, attended
Lauritzen's recital.
"It was great. I went for the
convocation credit at first, but
it was really relaxing to take
the time out and listen to such
beautiful music," she said.
Kirsten Carlson, a music
major, had a tough time
preparing the music for her
flute recital on April 4. She
broke her arm in September.
"Breaking my arm was a
really big issue. It's hard to
practice when you can't move
your wrist at all," Carlson
said.
David Williams, a music
performance and theology
major, has an organ recital
Sunday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m.
in the Collegedale church.
By the end of the school
year, 11 seniors will have per-
formed their recitals.
Convocation credit is avail-
able for attending senior
recitals, but not junior
recitals.
That accounts for 73 people,
and Ekkens hopes for more vol-
unteers from the community.
"I'm glad we get to get out of
the classroom for a while," said
Jeremy Blau, a freshman biolo-
gy major in Ekkens' class. "And
I'm glad it's going to be cleaner,"
The cit>' of Collegedale also
supports Southern's efforts.
"The city always appreciates
anything the community does
to make CoUegedale a better
place to live," said Erin
Re>Tiolds, cit>' recorder. "It's
neat that students take it upon
themselves to make this city the
beautiful place that it is."
Southern will be putting up
banners announcing Wolftever

would like to be involved can
meet under a canopy that will
be set up in the Tucker Road

Destiny Drama performed
its annual home show last
weekend v\dth "From Out of
the Whirlwind", a play about
the story of Job and how it per-
tains to our life, written by
Kevin Stoltz.
"We chose this play in light
of what our local and global
community has been going
through," said Maria Sager,
artistic director.
It is a play with in a play,
ivith a couple who happens to
stumble into a church looking
for answers about why God
makes good people go through
hardships. Inside, they find
actors finishing a rehearsal.
After listening to the hardships
of the couple, the actors decide
to perfonn their play, which is
the story of Job and Jesus.
The play was performed in
lies PE Center this year due to
over-scheduHng of the church
and was shown on three days
because there wasn't enough
room to accommodate both
students and community.
Actors had been practicing in
Miller Hall and didn't have
access to the gym until a week
before the play opened.
Despite setbacks through the
nine weeks of production,
Sager said she is very happy
with the end result.
"The process is always a
blessing, it's humbling to see it
all come together and I love to
see how my actors grow."

Eric Rudolph pleads guilty in Olympic bombing
Serial bombing suspect Eric
Rudolph is led to a police cii
after a liearing ot a federal
courtiiouNc Tucuday, June 2
2004, in HunUfvillc, Alu.
Atlanta, Ga, (AP)
Right-wing extremist Eric
Rudolph pleaded guilty
Wednesday to carrying out the
deadly bombing at the 1996
Atlanta Olympics and three
other attacks across the South,
admitting to one of the crimes
with a hint of pride in his voice
and a wink at prosecutors.
Rudolph, 38, entered his
pleas during back-to-back
court appearances, first in
Birmingham, Ala., in the
morning, and then in Atlanta
in the afternoon, after working
out a plea bargain that will
spare him from the death
penalty. He will get four con-
secutive life sentences without
parole.
The four blasts killed two
people, including a police offi-
cer, and wounded more than
120 others.
When asked in Atlanta
whether he was guilty of all
the bombings, Rudolph polite-
ly and calmly responded, "1
He offered no apology or
explanation in either court
appearance, but his lawyers
said he would eventually
release a written statement
explaining how and why he
committed the crimes.
Rudolph also admitted
bombing a gay nightclub in
Atlanta, wounding five people,
in 1997, and attacking a sub-
urban Atlanta office building
containing an abortion clinic
that same year. Six people
were wounded in that attack,
which consisted of two blasts,
first a small one to draw law
officers, then a larger explo-
In Birmingham earlier in

guilty to an abortion clinic

said Emily Lyons, who was
nearly killed in the bombing
and lost an eye.
Believed to be a follower of
a white supremacist religion
that is anti-abortion, anti-gay
and anti-Semitic, Rudolph hid
out for more than five years in
the mountains of western
North Carolina, apparently
using the survival skills he
learned as a soldier.
He was captured in
Murphy, N.C., in 2003, scav-
enging for food behind a gro-
cery store, after becoming
something of a folk hero to
some people in the country-
side for his ability to elude an
all-out manhunt by the gov-
ernment.
Countries destroy vials of flu strain
Geneva, Switzerland (AP)
Countries around the world
were destroying vials of a
nearly 50-year-old killer flu
virus Wednesday that were
sent to thousands of labs as
part of a routine test kit, rais-
ing fears of a global pandemic.
The World Health
Organization said Canada,
South Korea, Hong Kong and
Singapore had already
destroyed their samples, while
Japan was doing the same.
Taiwan and Germany also
announced that they had
destroyed all their vials.
Nearly 5,000 labs in 18
countries or territories
received vials from a U.S.
company that supplies kits
used for internal quality con-
trol tests, The germ, the 1957
H2N2 "Asian fiu" strain,
killed between 1 million and 4
million people. It has not been
included in flu vaccines since
1968, and anyone born after
that date has little or no
immunity to it.
WHO'S influenza chief,
Klaus Stohr, said he was "rela-
tively confident" most of the
samples outside the United
States would all be destroyed
by Friday.
Dr. Julie Gerberding, head
of the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, noted
Wednesday there had been no
sign of the strain circulating
anywhere.
A spokesman said earlier
the agency was in touch ^vith
an estimated 3,000 to 4,000
labs around the country to
verify they had destroyed the
pandemic virus.
The agency said it didn't
know why such a dangerous
strain was included as part of
the testing process.
Countries were urged by
the World Health
Organization to destroy sam-
ples of the dangerous virus
because of the slight but real
risk it could trigger a global
outbreak.

The man apparently want-

the house in which he held

China defends human rights record
Beijing, China (AP)
Stung by complaints of reli-
gious and human rights abuses,
China declared in a report
Wednesday that its booming
economy is improving the lives
of ordinary citizens while
changes in the courts and gov-
ernment promote respect for
llcir rights.
The government made
marked progress in its human
rights protection efforts in the
past year," said an annual report
on the state of human rights in
China issued by the Cabinet's
press office.
Beijing has issued a series of
™i:h reports m recent years, try-
"18 to deHect complaints that it

"fter two U.S.-based groups

flushing campaign" against
'"'gious activity m its Muslim
northwest, %vhere the govern-
ment is fighting pro-independ-
ence sentiment.
The government report
stressed the benefits of a boom-
ing economy that expanded by
9.5 percent last year, a common
theme for communist officials,
who invoke the pursuit of higher
living standards as a justification
for barring most independent
political acti\ity.
"The people's overall living
standard and quality of life were
improved considerably," the
report said.
It cited official promises to
increase the public's role in gov-
ernment by holding nonpartisan
elections for low-level posts and
creating a structine for die pub-
lic to petition China's largely
powerless national and local leg-
islatures.
Higher-level posts are all
filled by the ruling Communist
Party, vvhich also controls all
law-making.

ised repeatedly to make courts
more responsive to public needs,
to stamp out widespread corrup-
tion among court officials and to

Religion
What are we waiting for?
What did you see in the
news last week? You most
likely noticed that the news of
Pope John Paul II's death and
funeral dominated the major
news networks and the front
pages of U. S. newspapers all
week long.
Some have seen the wide-
spread interest level and the
diverse religious and political
groups' presence at the Pope's
funeral as a bit of prophecy
unfolding before our very
Perhaps it is, but only God
knows that for sure. It cer-
tainly does raise an interest-
ing question for every person
to ask him or herself though;
What are we waiting for? And,
to add to that, what is it going
to take to wake God's
Laodicean church out of its
deep sleep?
Often times, spirituality is
jump-started by tragic or life-
altering events. Following the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,
churches were packed and an
incredible religious revival
took place. But it didn't last
for long. Many people went
back to business as usual not
long after the dust began to
settle, so to speak.
We keep looking for the
next big event, the next
prophetic occurrence, to
prove to ourselves that the
end is in fact drawing near,
that it's time to finally get on
board and ride out the final
big storm. We think that we
still have plenty of time— that
things have to get really bad
before we need to start worry-
ing about where we're at in
cur lives.
We can't afford to wait
around any longer for some
huge, life-changing event to
take place to show us that it's
finally time to stop fooling
around in the world and to
take a stand for what we know
is right,
Jesus told his. disciples:
"But understand this: If the
owner of the house had
known at what hour the thief
was coming, he would not
have let his house be broken
into. You also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will
come at an hour when you do
not expect him," (Luke 12:39,
40).
We do not know when
Jesus is coming and that is
why we should be ready at all
times and at every moment,
not just when things look like
they're getting chaotic or
uncertain. We need to be fas-
tening ourselves to the Rock
now, before the storm comes
in, and not when the winds of
strife begin to let loose.
The only way that we can
plan ahead for Jesus' coming
is to be daily growing in Him
through prayer and studying
His Word. We have the pre-
cious opportunity to have an
incredible, life-changing
experience with the Creator of
the Universe, with God
Almighty Who sent His only
Son to die for our sins so that
we would have the option of
spending eternity with Him.
What are we waiting for?

Are we still called to
be destroyers of sin?
An interesting command
that God repeated over and
over to Israel in the books of
Moses was that when they
moved in to the Promised
Land, to destroy every man,
woman, and child that He
turned over to them. All the
natives of the land were to be
killed, according to
Deuteronomy 7:1, 2. Why,
one might ask? Because God
knew that if Israel dwelled in
the land with them, the
pagans of the land would
introduce them to their gods.
And time and time again,
Israel and Judah turned to
foreign gods and idols.
Now why do I bring this
up? How can we use this com-
mand in our modern age? Are
we to kill all the pagans of our
land? Absolutely not! Israel
was a God-led nation. He was
their supreme leader.
Sometime during the life of
Christ they lost the right of
capital punishment. That's
why they had to take Christ to
the Romans to get sentenced.
That's why the act of stoning
people has been done away
%vith in the law. I like the
story about Jesus stopping
the crowd from stoning the
woman caught in adultery.
Especially when He said "Let
him who has no sin throw the
first stone." That was totally
awesome! That's where I
believe we should have our
focus. No, we can't utterly
destroy the pagans around us.
But we can focus on the sin in
I believe that we have to
search the Scriptures to see
what God says is sin-not just
the Ten Commandments, but
all of God's word. When Jesus
said, "Remove the plank from
our own eye," He was sa\ing
remove the sin from our oivn
life rather than pointing out
others' faults. We have to
decide that by any means nec-
essary we are willing to do
whatever it takes to get the
sin out of our lives. Whatever
we are tempted by, we must
get rid of that temptation. We
need accountability in our
lives. After we start waging
war on the sin we have and
removing the temptations, we
need to start battling the
paganism around us.
There is so much evil going
on in our society that we as
followers of Christ have to
take a stand against. We are
keeping way to quiet on the
issues. We are not scared for ]
our lives, yet, but we won't
take a stand because we are to
scared we may get made fun
of!- We think people might
think we are different or
something. We are supposed
to be different! We are sup-
posed to be followers of the
true God. We are so busy try-
ing to fit in and tread both
roads. We say we want to be
Christians, but we don't want
to separate ourselves from
the people around us. We
can't have it both ways. Jesus
says "I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life," He's the
only way, no one will get to
the Father but by Him.

Heart Walk
Terry Paxton
Staff Writer
Collegedale residents
walking to raise heart aware-
ness at the Third Annual
Collegedale Heart Walk on
Sunday, May 15.
The walk starts at 2:00
p.m. at Imagination Station.
More than 100 people have
already volunteered to walk
and fight against heart dis-
ease and stroke. Last year the
walk generated more than
$14,000, and this year offi-
cials have set their goal at
$15,000. The city of
Collegedale and six local busi-
nesses are sponsoring the
event, along with several
other businesses selling red
hearts, and many private
donors have contributed.
The Heart Walk, a national
American Heart Association
event, has raised more than
$286 milHon in its 10-year
history. This year, over
700,000 walkers will partici-
pate in more than 750 loca-
tions. Proceeds will support
heart and stroke research as
well as public and profession-
al education programs.
"Every 33 seconds someone
dies from cardiovascular dis-
ease, and someone suffers a
stroke every 53 seconds," said
Alicia Pees of the American
Heart Association. "Through
the Heart Walk we educate
people about how to prevent 1
these diseases and raise funds I
to support lifesaving research j
and encourage people to exer- |
cise for fun." j
Research funded by the '
American Heart Association 1
has yielded important discov-
eries such as CPR, Hfe-extend- ,
ing drugs, pacemakers,
bypass surgery and surgical |
techniques to repair heart
defects according to American
Heart Association officials
"We want to get people
involved in a healthy
lifestyle," said Vivian Steffan,
a Collegedale Heart Walk
committee member.

Volunteers clean creek
The Second Annual Wolftever
Creek Day drew crowds Sunday
to clean up the creek and raise
awareness about its impact on the
communit>'.
"It is interesting to
many different fish are in the
creek and see how what we do
affects them," said Melissa Tortal,
a freshman elementary education
major and cleanup participant.
The event, which will remove
damaging plants along the banks
and replace them with native
plants, was sponsored by
Southern, Collegedale Academy,
the Tennessee Valley Authority,
and the city of Collegedale.
"We are basically trying to cut
back the vrild rivet, and make this
end of creek more enjoyable and
safe for the families that live in
this area," said Paula Gardner,
Landscape Services supervisor.
Volunteers mainly worked at
the greenway, Collegedale
Academy, and married student
housing.
The event also featured a scav-
enger hunt and a demonstration
on how to check pollution levels.
Laura Duncan, a TVA water
resources representative, held the
demonstration showing how to
monitor lake using fish from the
lake.
"If the fish are tolerant to high-
ly polluted water then this indi-
cates the creek is in poor condi-
tion, and vice versa," Duncan
said.
Many Southern students vol-
unteered at the greenway.

Southern's 26th Annual

Sunday night at Memorial
Auditorium.
This year's producers
encountered many problems.
The festival started a half hour
late due to congested traffic
and lasted almost two hours.
Computer problems added to
the lengthened show.
"Though we had difficul-
ties, we had an excellent staff
and I couldn't have made it
without them," said Nathan

Student missionaries dedicated at vespers
Future student
ies gathered in the Collegedale
church Friday night to be ded-
icated by faculty and friends.
"Seventy-five students are
actually going to be dedicated
tonight. We have 85 total that
will be going out this year and
there are several that have
gone out already," said Joy
Brown, student missions coor-
dinator for Southern.
Victor Czerkasij, who has a
degree in theology from
Southern, challenged students
and the church, to show
Christ's love to the world and
to be assured of their salva-
"It's not about your com-
fort, it's about their salvation,"
said Czerkasij as he offered his
challenge to students. "Let
them see Jesus."
Czerkasij finished his chal-
lenge by saying, "God bless
you and may He go with you."
Jonathan Deweber, a soph-
omore religion major accepted
the blessing for the other stu-
dent missionaries and task
force workers.
"I take this challenge to go
and serve God and show bis
kindness to the world," he
said, "Thanks be to God."

serving in sum-
mer jobs and 67 will be serv-
ing abroad.
However, students with an
interest in serving as student
missionaries may have to wait.
"There are definitely many
positions, but we are actually
having a cut off date this week
because the General
Conference is asking us to
have all of our paperwork in
by the first of May," Brown
said. "I hate to do that, but

Student Missionaries for the 2005-2006 school year bow their heads
as Victor Czerkasy prays at the close of the dedication vespers Friday
we've had to put a deadline on
it."
In spite of not being able to
take more student missionar-
ies, Brown offered encourage-
ment to those sent abroad.
"Even though you may be in
a position like working in the
kitchen, which doesn't sound
like a real missionary job, I
believe that each one of us can
be a missionary wherever we
are no matter what we're
doing," Brown said. "You
don't have to go to the jungle,
we can be a missionan,' no
matter where we are and I
think people need to realize
that; that's what being a
Christian is all about."
Tuition increases for next school year
A raise in tuition for the 2005-
2006 school year may either
decrease enrollment rates or
keep them at a standstill.
The 4.5 percent increase vnll
raise the tuition price from
$12,990 to $13,580, causing dif-
ficulties for students who akeady decided to go elsewhere,
consider college expensive. But "I have paid so much
witl) the cost of operation rising,
faculty cannot prevent the
inevitable.
"It's a delicate line you walk their college careere at Southern
between what students will pay but worry about the increasing
and what 'too expensive' is," said debt.

dent of financial administration.

tuition increases, and I guess I'm
used to it," said Jimmie Tan, a
non-graduating senior nursing
and biology major. "Southern is
actually cheap compared to what
I will pay for next year's raed
school."
Faculty members hope the
increase does not cut down on
enrollment.
"If incoming students think
we are too expensive, I would
riously advise them to give us a chance to
work some things out," Bidwell
said. "It is possible to work out
payments between p^ents, your
church, and summer employ-
ment at Southern. Students need
to give it a chance."
Despite tuition increases.
Southern is still the largest
undergraduate Adventist univer-
sity.
Nursing degree now offered in summer
For the first time in
Southern's history, the School
of Nursing is offering a sum-
mer-only associates degree to
students.
"It is a special cohort of stu-
dents who will complete their
associate of science degree of
nursing over three summers:
2005, 2005 and 2007,- said
Lmda Marlow, nursing pro-
gressions coordinator.
For the past five years, the
School of Nursing has admitted
approximately 50 students
each fall and ivinter semester.
This program is designed to
help the large quantity of nurs-
mg students who weren't able
to get into the program because
of minimum space. Lately
Southern's nursing program
has been increasing in num-
bers, and they have the disad-
vantage of not having enough
space to facilitate everyone's
needs. The School of Nursing
has been put under pressure
from the state of Tennessee
and Southern to come up with
another program that will give
future students a chance to
become a registered nurse.
This summer-study option is
a contribution to the local com-
munity in trying to get more
nurses into the workforce, with
the program being geared
toward adult learners and resi-
dents of Tennessee.
"Most of the students
throughout the year come from
all over the United States, but
the majority [of students] for
the summer is from Tennessee.
There is a local nursing short-
age," said Dr. Barbara James, a
nursing professor.
Classes will start Mav 2 and
conHnue to mid-August.
Students must have their pre-
requisites completed in order
to register for the summer pro-
gram.
"It is a very concentrated
program, with students taking
the minimum of 12 semester
hours in the summer," Marlow
said.
Since this particular pro-
gram is offered only during the
summer, students are encour-
aged to work throughout the
school year or continue \^itD
their general-education class-
" I think it is a good opportu-
nity if you need to work and go
to school, but I don't think it is
a good program for me because
I want to have my B.S. in two w
three years," said Michelle
Boardley, a prospective nursing
major.

Library fines students for overdue books
With the school year almost
over, it is time to find those
scattered library books.
Forgetting to return them
could cost you-
"You're overdue, you're
overdue, and you're overdue,"
said Greg Schlief, a freshman
business and auto service
major.
McKee Library doesn't
charge daily fines for unre-
turned books; instead, each
patron gets a two-week grace
period and will then be
charged the price of the book
plus a nonrefundable S25 pro-
cessing fee. Each undergrad
student is allowed to check
out 20 books and graduate
students 50 books, so over
due fees can add up.
Three notices are sent out
to inform you of an overdue
book. The first two are warn-
ings, sent a week apart, stat-
ing that you have 14 days to
return the bookts). The last
notice states that your
account has been billed and
that you can't check out any
more books until it is paid.
Books returned at this time
will only be charged for the
processing fee.
"When you get that first
notice, bring the book in.
Don't take the chance on the
second or third notice," said
Carol Harrison, McKee

charged the price of the book plus S25.
Library's circulation manager.
Books that aren't returned
aren't alwavs bought again.
The three main reasons are
because there are new edi-
tions, the book was too old, or
it is no longer readily avail-
able.
Books are also taken off the
library's shelves for being
damaged, outdated or lost.
This allows for space for the
many incoming items to be
added to the library's 150,000
plus books and 1,100 plus
periodicals.
"Every once in awhile we
have to go through the stacks
and weed out [books]," said
Stanley Cottrell II, McKee's
Library's technical services
librarian.
The library also gets new
books from recommendations
from staff members and cata-
logs and book review maga-
zine, like "Booklist" or the
online version of "Choice
Review." The library then
picks books matching the cur-
riculum of the school. Books
regarding Tennessee or
Adventist topics are also con-
sidered. McKee's staff then
retrieves information about
the books from a national
database and labels them so
that they can be used.
"We do get a lot of new
books. [McKee's staff] are
doing a good job at that," said
Rachel Thomas, a'junior art-
therapy major, who works at
the library's front desk.

Others said they were dis-
appointed.
"I only saw five people I
knew this year," said Dee
Francisco, a senior social
work major. "If you really
look at it, there were a lot of
people missing. I only saw a
couple from my depart-
ment."
But the night helped one
student involved in next
year's Strawberry Festival.
-I want it to be a little
shorter, and punchy," said
Liz Davies, a senior graphic
design and character anima-
tion double major. "I under-
stand there ivill be technical
problems, but we're going to
trv and cover everything.
Maybe we can even do a full
run through in the gym.
Strawberry Festival origi-
nally started as an end of the
year party and has evolved
into the slideshow event of
today. , .
"It keeps evolving a on
more every year," said
Andrea Keele, a junior reli-
gious studies major. "It used
to be more about the pic-
tures and strawberries with
ice cream in the school
gym,"
Andrea is the daughter of
one of the two men that
started what we know today
as the current form of
Strawberry Festival. Donnie
Keele Sr. recalled a time
when Strawberry Festival
was only an end-of-year
party where people played
games and ate as many
strawberries with ice cream
as they wanted. But the tra-
dition of an end-of-year pic-
ture review started in 1979
when Keele Sr. and Keith
Langenberg added their
class project as an extra
event to the party.
"It was two projectors,
2,500 pictures, ihour, smin-
utes and i7seconds, and a
live microphone," Keele
said.
"I was so reinforced in my
desire to create a production
company that can do things
right," said Seth Gladden, a
junior marketing major.
Strings and voices can be
heard warming up in the
music building for a special
, occasion. As the academic
I year ends, some students are
' preparing for one of their
] final performances: Franz
Joseph Haydn's "The

"'The Creation' is like 'The
Messiah.' It's a large composi-
tion from which we are going
to be doing like seven or eight
I pieces. It's going to be freak-
I ing awesome!" said Jesse
' Reyna, freshman music
major.

■The Creation Mass," writ-
ten in 1801, is an oratorio,
which is a large musical com-
position for orchestra, vocal
soloists and chorus. This com-
position is a musical depiction
of the sk days of creation.
Director of Orchestral
Activities Laurie Redmer
Minner enjoys the start of cre-
ation the most. The piece
begins with sounds of chaos
and then gradually calms. The
choir enters and speaks as
softly as possible, "Let there
be...," and then yells, "Light!"
On the day the Lord creat-
ed animals, there are different
musical representations for
each. The whales are musical-
ly defined by cellos and bass-
Professor Minner does find
it a bit odd that the piece does
not cover the seventh day, in
which the Lord rested from
His creation.
This piece is unique for
some of the performers.
"For me, living in this time
of earth's history, contemplat-
ing the act of Creation and the
reality of eternity in the state
of no pain, heartache or
uncertainty redefines and
realigns what is truly impor-
tant," said Julie Penner,
director of vocal studies.
Professor Minner encour-
aged students to attend by
saying, "What better way to
enter the Sabbath hours then
to celebrate the creation?"

Talabani did not specify
when or where the bodies were

town of about 1,000 families
over the weekend, they found
no captives, and residents said
tliey had seen no evidence any-

"Terrorists committed

Vatican City fAP>
Pope Benedict XVI pledged
Wednesday to work to unify all
Christians and reach out to
other rehgions as he outlined
his goals and made clear he
would follow in the footsteps of
his predecessor, Pope John
Paul II.
Benedict, the former
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger,
listed top priorities of his papa-
cy in a message read in Latin to
cardinals gathered in the
Sistine Chapel for the first Mass
celebrated by the 265th leader
of the Roman Catholic Church.
He said his "primary task"
would be to work to reunify all
Christians and that sentiment
alone was not enough.
■'Concrete acts that enter souls
needed," he said.
The new pope said he want-
ed to continue "an open and
sincere dialogue" with other
religions and would do every-
thing in his power to improve
the ecumenical cause.
The message was clearly
designed to show that Benedict
was intent on following many of
the groundbreaking paths
charted by John Paul, who had
made reaching out to otlier reli-
gions and trying to heal the
1,000-year-old schism in
and the crowd gathered in front of his former private home in Rome,
Christianity a hallmark of his
pontificate.
Joy over the selection of a
new pope was mixed vrith wor-
ries that Benedict could polar-
ize a global church, whose chal-
lenges include growing secular-
ism in rich countries and
inroads by evangelical groups
in regions such as Latin
America.

TehhaNl!raq^[APL
, D.C. (APt
The nation's largest teachers
union and school districts in
three states are launching a
legal fight over No Child Left
Behind, aiming to free schools
from complying with any part
of the education law not paid
for by the federal government.
The lawsuit, expected to be
filed Wednesday in the U.S.
District Court for eastern
Michigan, is the most sweeping
challenge to President Bush's
signature education policy. The
outcome would apply oidy to
the districts involved but could
have implications for all
schools nationwide.
National Education
Association, a union of 2.7 mil-
lion members that represents
many public educators and Is
financing the lawsuit. The
other plaintiffs are nine school
districts in Michigan, Texas
and Vermont, plus 10 NEA
chapters in those three states
and Connecticut, Illinois,
Indiana, New Hampshire,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah.
Education Secretary
Margaret Spellings, as the chief
officer of the agency that
enforces the law, is the only
defendant. The suit centers on
a quesfion that has overshad-
owed the law since Bush signed
it in 2002: whether the presi-
dent and Congress have pro-
vided enough money.
The challenge is built upon
one paragraph in the law that
says no state or school district
can be forced to spend its
money on expenses the federal
government has not covered.
"What it means is just what
it says, that you don't have to
do anything this law requires
unless you receive federal
funds to do it," said NEA gener-
al counsel Bob Chanin.
"We want the Department of
Education to simply do what
Congress told it to do. There's a
promise in that law, it's unam-
biguous, and it's not being
complied with."

Being overweight is nowhere near as big a killer as the govern-

tion from the CDC. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention estimated Tuesday that packing on too many pounds
accounts for 25.814 deaths a year in the United States. As
recently as January, the CDC came up with an estimate 14 times
higher: 365,000 deaths.

helping Americans trim their
waistlines.
Dubbed "MyPyramid," the

I'egetables and milk products
have wider bands.

recommendations," said
Agriculture Secretary Mike
Johanns on Tuesday as he
unveiled the new pyramid.
The new guidelines encour-
age people to figure out theh
calorie and exercise needs using
a new government Web site at
www.mypyramid.com. There
people can find 12 different
models based on daily calorie
needs, from the 1,000 calories
for sedentary toddlers to 3,200
for teen-age boys.
"If we don't change these
trends, our children may be the
first generation that cannot look
for%vard to a longer life span than
their parents, something that
should be very troubling to all of
us," said Eric Bost, the
Agriculture Department's under
secretary for food, nutrition and

If there's one thing that is

certainly not constant.
Change is inevitable.
Sometimes change scares
us, because it means we can't

don't know what will happen.
Maybe this describes you:
you react by defending your-
self against every little change
that threatens well-planned
schedules, and you attempt to
cover every possible outcome
to any event, even if it means
going out to eat.
Or maybe you're the type

A farewell
Andiiew Bekmudez
There are 1,369 days left of the Bush presi-
dency. John Kerry is a distant memory. In
this, my last column of the year, it would seem
appropriate to look back and sum up what has
been a politically-charged time in America,
But life is moving fonvard and I'd like to spend
some time with the crystal ball. Don't worry,
111 leave out the predictions of Condoteezza
Rice versus Hitlaiy Clinton in 2008— it's not
going to happen. (Whichever party is the first
to nominate a woman, the other party will put
up a man to court the traditionalist voters.
They wouldn't ever admit that, though.)
Rather, I have a paragraph for my conserva-
ti\e readers and one for my liberal readers.
First, the liberals. After losing every possi-
ble aspect of November's election (House,
Senate, Presidency, Governorships) someone
Somewhere needs to stand up and tell the
Democrats in power that their reactive
approach to politics isn't working. Okay, I'll
do it. You wait for the Republicans to propose
something then they oppose it. That's not the
way to gain political ground. Take charge.
Lead out on something. Select two or three
^e>' issues (I'd suggest affordable health care
snd an alternative to Social Security privatiza-
tion) to push for and then push for them.
^ong the way you can point out how
President Bush is bungling die war in Iraq, the
^onomy, and Social Security reform but you
fiust provide an alternative otherwise you're
just sUnging mud.
Now, the conservatives. You must feel
pretty smug with all that absolute power and
^ff- Enjoy it while you have it because the
people are coming. There is more to life than
J^ livars and scaring people about gay terror-
"^ who perform abortions. Once that wears
•^ you won't have much to hang your hat oo.
^ost people don't like the risks of Social
still
Security privatization, the economy
floundering, and we still don't know wliere
Osama bin Laden is. (You thought
we forgot about him. didn'
you?) There is a fine line
between getting things
done easUy and sneaking
tilings through. Don't push this (
anti-filibuster legislation through
the Senate. The filibuster is one of the
greatest features of that legislative body
and is what protects us from extremism.
Don't weaken its power. Oh, and about
Iraq: can you please figure out a way to
bring our troops home?
And finally, everybody. When I
approached the Accent editors about
writing a political opinion column, I
was hoping to provide a starting point
for discussion of political issues among
Accent readers. Judging by the feed-
back I've received— whether dirough
letters to the editor or personal e-
mails-I think it's safe to say that peo-
ple have been getting involved in the
debate. In fact, I'm told Uiat there
have been more letters

these Head-to-Head

otiier Accent feature.

the fact is, regardless of what our opinions

In fact, I personally have enjoyed sharing

years now. Sometimes ifs been hard just to
think of something to write about, but in the
end, ifs been a very enriching experience for
me. Next year, however, I'll be off in Guam as
a student missionaiy, and won't have the
opportunity to write in tiie Accent. Ill miss
writing here, along with, of course, many
aspects of on-campus life. I'd encourage some
of you who will be returning next year to con-
sider writing for the paper.
But above all, as you go on into the summer
and the coming year, be sure to keep in touch
with Uie important issues tiiat are facing us, be
it locally, nationally, or globally. And don't just
state opinions: do your best to make a positive
difference. If we have encouraged you to do
that this year; to think about things, and take a
stand, then it's been a success.
Finally, thanks for reading and sharing.
And don't forget to drop me an e-mail every
now and then while I'm off in Guam! God
