ASMC to Hold Open House April 10 At 
Grand Opening of New Offces 
Monday, April 10, has been des-
ignated as the official date for the 
,grand opening of the new ASMC 
offices. The new offices, upstairs in 
the south end of Assembly Hall, 
will be open for display through-
out the afternoon, and everyone 
is invited to inspect them. 
Eve11 from the outside, the two 
large picture windows give a hint 
of the modern offices housed up-
stairs. These windows present a 
panoramic view of the campu.s 
from Gotzian Home to the Sam-
tarium. 
The stairway entrance, which is 
finished in balsawood, leads into 
a completely modern pine-paneled 
conference room. To the left of 
the conference room is the office 
of the MV Society, attractively 
decked out in blue and white. Then 
to the right of the conference room 
and overlooking the campus to the 
west is the new office of the ASMC. 
A soft blend of beige and ivory 
on the walls and ceiling creates 
a very pleasing appearance. 
The offices have been completely 
remodeled and modernized in every 
respect. The floors are overlaid 
with tile, and the ceilings are of 
celotex. Year-round air condition-
ing will feature thermostatically 
controJled electric heat. Recess 
lighting will show off to good ad-
vantage the modern new furnish-
ings which grace t h e r o o m s. 
Adding a finishing touch to the 
scene and framing the large pic-
ture windows are graceful new 
drapes. 
Many weeks of hard work and 
planning have gone into the cre-
ation of these new offices. T}le 
pounding of hammers and the 
buzzing of saws has finally ended. 
Standing in tribute to those who 
have worked so long and hard, 
giving of their time and labors, 
are the most modern and beauti-
fully equipped offices on the cam-
pus. 
BURKS NAMED EDITOR 
Robert Burks, sophomore nurs-
ing student, has been appointed 
editor in chief of the MADISONIAN 
for next year. Bob has been on the 
editorial staff as a reporter this 
year. He will be one of the group 
to attend the annual student as-
sociation workshop to be held at 
South 
Lancaster, 
Massachusetts, 
this month. 
A week devoted to spiritual em-
phasis and consecration came to a 
climax Saturday night, April 1, 
when at the last meeting of the 
Spring Week of .Prayer students 
and teachers came to the front 
and testified to the goodness of 
God and to the workings of His 
Spirit on their hearts. 
Elder W. E. Dopp, conference 
MV secretary, and Elder L. Eugene 
Fletcher, from the Southeastern 
California Conference, led out in 
the week's program. Elder Dopp 
presented the practical side of 
godliness. His sermons were effec-
tively illustrated with pertinent 
personal experiences. He pointed 
out that the Christian should be 
the happiest, most joyful person 
alive. 
"Delight thyself also in the 
Lord; and he shall give thee the 
desires of thine heart" (Psalms 
37:4). This is one of the many 
texts Elder Dopp stressed as proof 
that though the Christian may face · 
trial and seeming perplexity, yet 
with God holding his hand, he 
cannot be other than trustful, con-
fident, and joyful. 
The simplicity of his message 
appealed to the students through-
out th~ week, and interest did not 
wane to the end of the last meet-
ing on Saturday night. On an eve-
ning usually .given to secular en-
tertainment, the students brought 
the good experiences of the week 
to a climax in a praise service 
that lasted till ten o'clock. 
Between the t h r e e meetings 
daily-academy chapel, co 11 e g e 
chapel, and evening service-Elder 
Dopp and Elder Fletcher w e r e 
available for counseling. Students 
appreciated these opportunities to 
talk over their problems with these 
youth leaders. 
Music made a leading contri-
bution to the inspiration of the 
week. The song services led by 
Elder Fletcher prepared hearts for 
the messages of the sermons. Mrs. 
Silver worked tirelessly to furnish 
the best her department c o u 1 d 
offer. Instrumental and vocal solos 
and group numbers, the Academy 
Choir, the College Choir, and the 
College Band all contributed to 
the week. The Sabbath afternoon 
sacred concert presented a massed 
choir from the choirs of the Boule-
vard, Bordeaux, and First churches 
and the Madison College and Acad-
emy choirs.

Wit at cAb out Our :beciJionJ? 
A successful Week of Prayer has just closed. Elder 
Dopp has shown us what a Christian's life should be 
like. We have promised God to put forth renewed 
efforts to serve Him. 
But now that the week is over, what are we as 
young people going to do about the decisions which 
we have made? If a reformation marks our lives· in 
the coming days and weeks, then the "revival" has 
accomplished much. But, on the other hand, if we 
fall back into the "same old rut" as before, we have 
lost much. Let us by determined effort seek to make 
the experience of this past week a lasting experience 
in our lives.

Letter to the Editor 
Dear Editor, 
A beautiful collie lay dead-a victim of a gunshot wound 
by an unknown persJn. But what satisfaction did that 
person gain? Did he have a warm feeling in the fact that 
there were tears and heartaches and an emptiness around 
the house over the cruel death of a faithful friend? 
Did not Jesus note• the1 sparrow's fall? Would He not also 
be a tender shepherd over the animals He has created? 
Does He not have records of our treatment of these ani-
mals? 
In this world of hate and strife we still have a society 
known as the American Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals. (This society was organized in New 
York ten years before the organization of the New York 
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children!) 
In Tennessee there is a humane• society. Their purpose 
is to punish persons who are UNKIND to animals. 
But a beautiful collie is dead! Even punishment to the 
·guilty could not bring Laddie back. 
A friend of dogs 
We received a letter recently from Hallie Thomas, 
Class of '59, who writes from Carton House, Simla 4, 
Southwest India: "I am in charge of surgery, O.B., 
and tanesthesia and am keeping! ever so busy." She 
describes the 42-bed mission hospital, where they see 
from one to two hundred outpatients a day. She says 
most of the deliveries are made by nurses rather 
than doctors. 
Joyce Burnside writes from Cocoa, Florida, of the 
interesting time she is having in that famous bird 
land. She has had part in the Sixth Annual National 
Bird Count conducted at Christmas time in this, one 
of the world's richest bird lands. Scientists come 
here every year to count the species. She has become 
acquainted with the Allan Cruickshanks, of orni-
thological fame, Miss Farida Wiley, from the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History of New York, and 
other famous Audubon Society members. Eddie and 
Joyce Burnside both graduated in 1952, he from 
Medical Technology and she from Nursing. 
Mrs. Burnside, the former Joyce Bates, is a sister 
of Tom Bates, senior nurse. 
The grass, the trees, the birds, the bees, 
The glowing noonday sun, 
All seem to say in a simple way 
That spring has finally sprung 
Yes, spring· is here to stay. We see evidences of 
it on every hand. Lately we've been hearing from the 
east side of the campus a model airplane motor. 
Two of the more adventurous boys were seen float-
ing down the river in a two-seater canoe last Sun-
day afternoon. Some Wasiotans have taken an in-
terest in the beautification of Wasiota Court. Don 
Sullivan, for instance, has proved that he has a 
green thumb by planting flower seeds in a shoe box 
outside his window. 
Then Juan Anglada has been asking everyone 
lately for an article on music or love. It makes us 
wonder whether it is really a class assignment or a 
touch of spring fever. 
Spring is also awakening some unusual interest 
on the campus. Congratulations on your hobby, Roger 
Bradley. We think every boy should know how to 
knit. 
And speaking~ o{ foods-Larry van Uden's favorite 
is one which would produce gastrointestinal diffi-
culties in the normal homo sapiens. You see, it's 
peanut butter on tossed salad. 
Here in Williams Hall we have a very efficient 
morning monitor named Gwen Fontaine. Her room-
mate, Jari Nations, thinks that Gwen is a bit too 
efficient, for, in spite of Jan's efforts to get the room 
spic and span, when Gwen grades rooms, she al-
ways gives Jan an F. Gwen says she is just trying 
to make Jan humble. 
· 
We have some new additions to our dormitory. A 
turtle named Myrtle found its way into the room 
and hearts of five girls on second floor. Also, Glenda· 
Sheffield had in her room a purple chick which she 
received from a masculine friend. He knew she 
would take it under her wing and mother it tenderly. 
Where is it now, Glenda? 
Our sympathies are extended to Marilyn Stevens 
and Melba Morg~an, who were called home because 
of deaths in their families. 
We are happy to welcome to · our dormitory four 
new girls. They are Ruth Gill, Marietta Andrus, 
Marilyn Chapman, and Imelda Gutierrez. We're also 
happy to see Margie Lofton, Correne Bunch, Mavis 
Rushing, and Nita Lanham back from Cincinnati 
(along with nurses Lavelle Eversoll, Esther Kowalski, 
Paul Nettland, and Charles MacMillan). 
And now for a' bit of off-campus news. Special 
news bulletin! Chassis of a prominent Nashville bus 
made concave by four Madison girls and one car. Con-
fidentially, SylviCJ. Mitzelfelt, next time take on a 
vehicle with less surface area. 
They say that in spring) a young man's fancy 
turns to love. We have a young man here whose 
fancy turns to !gardening. Yes, we're looking for-
ward to eating your fresh okra, Bob Burks. 
Our alloted space is about used up, 
Our pen is rur~ning dry; 
So, till next time, we'll say, to end, 
"Happy springtime" and "good-by."

Your 
Roving 
Report r 
By Elaine Ferris 
Madison College offers the c1 urse 
"Rural Living," credit for rhich 
is earned by spending a qc :1rter 
a t o n e of t h e self-supp .ting 
schools known as units. Seve1 al of 
our students have been fort· nate 
enough . to spend some 
tilt'~ at 
some of these "sister" in ,titu. 
tions. I'm sure all of us he ve a 
very special interest in t t e s e 
"relatives" of' ours, and are 1 roud 
of the wonderful work the' 
are 
carrying on. The following stu. 
dents who ·have· spent ·a q :uter 
each at these schools were ' sked 
the following questions: 
What impressed you most bout 
the work carried on at that 
school? 
What was the greatest b, nefit 
that came to you as a ~ esult 
of your stay there? 
Here are their answers: 
Bill Driver, Wildwood, Gee rgia: 
"I was impressed with the 
~ irit· 
ual atmosphere at Wildwood ·The 
people there live very clo; ..., to 
God. I b e 1 i e v e this spi itual 
atmosphere is what ·I enjoye 1 the 
most. Also my work exper; 3nce, 
especially in carpentry, was valu· 
able." 
David Lima, Y erba Bu.e 
Mis· 
sion, Chiapas, Mexico: "Th 
self· 
sacrifice of each worker in ·.)eing 
willing to help, work, co-o .rate, 
study, pray, forgive one am·ther, 
and have everything in co.r,tmon 
impressed me. · First of 
., its 
program made me understa ,f the 
necessity of standing by JJ..yself 
to be a self-supporting missit. ary. 
T h e sincere religious pre gram 
brought me closer to God 
My 
eyes were opened to see the needs 
of my fellow men." 
Phyllis Campbell, Fletcher, North 
Carolina: "The spiritual atmos· 
phere and the way everyone was 
willing to work together impressed 
me. Also, all are treated as adults 
-the ;}Cademy students on their 
level and the nursing st dents 
(college) on their level. I feel 
that as a result of my sta 
here 
I was drawn closer to God." 
Juan Anglada, Harbert Hills) 
Tennessee: ''What impress d me 
most was that the people there 
w or k without a n y interest in 
money. Another thing was the 
high quality of the work the stu· 
dents do. 
One of the greatest 
benefits to me was my experience 
in the pjano refinishing shop. Then, 
too, the missionary work 
e did 
helped me have a closer walk with 
Jesus." 
These testimonials make us feel 
that it would be well if every one 
of us students here at Madison 
could spend some time at one of 
these institutions. There I'm sure 
we would catch a vision for service 
and have a stronger desire to be 
soldiers of the cross.

Seventeen graduating nurses received their pins 
in an impressive pinning ceremony held in the As-
sembly Hall on Saturday night, March 25. 
presented the sermonette. 
The nurses were pinned by friends and relatives-
all graduate nurses. Two mothers, Mrs. King and 
Mrs. Vest, were privileged to pin their da~g1hters, 
Mrs. Marie Sandborn and Mrs. Nelda Ackerman. 
These nurses will receive their diplomas in Au-
gust, at the annual commencement of Madison Col-
lege. Some will, in addition, receive B.S. degrees at 
the graduation. 
While Mary Lou Sullins at the organ played the 
processional, under-graduates led the procession of 
graduating' urses, who took their places on the plat-
form in front of the nurses who were to pin them. 
The background of the platfonn was a beautiful 
painting depicting the work of the Christian nurse, 
with an angel by her side. Large bouquets of pink 
roses were in the foreground. 
Dr. Jean Slate gave advice, in acrostic form, to 
the nurses. Mrs. Henry Bedford sang "If I Can Help 
Somebody." Elder H. T. Anderson, church pastor, 
After the dedicatory prayer by Dr. Frederec 
Cothren and a special song by the class, the gradu-
ates presented flowers to their parents and others 
who had helped make their goal possible. A special 
presentation was a large bouquet of roses to Miss 
Edith Munn, dressed as Florence Nightingale, who 
was thus honored because, three· years ago at· the 
beginning of their course, she was the Florence 
Nightingale who lighted their lamps. Flowers were 
also presented to Mrs. Freda Zeigler, director of 
nurses, and Mrs. Doris Thomson, their class sponsor. 
David Lima Speaks 
David Lima, who recently re-
turned from Chiapas, Mexico, was 
the chapel speaker on March 22. 
Mr. Lima, an R.N. from Brazil, 
took courses in religion last year 
and then accompanied Dr. Har-
mer and family, from Wildwood, 
Georgia, to the Yerba Buena 
Mission, Chiapas, Mexico, operated 
by the Comstocks. Here he joined 
two evangelists in combining the 
medical and evangelistic work. 
In his chapel talk he told of the 
four months he spent there pulling 
teeth, giving hydrotherapy treat-
ments, 2nd instructing the natives 
in dietary principles. 
At present Mr. Lima is taking 
work in X-ray and laboratory tech-
nique. He plans to return to Mex-
ico after he finishes more work 
here. ~

Rojas Family Arrives 
Alex Rojas has recently wel-
c!>med his father, mother, three 
sisters, Theresa, Marlene, and 
Susie, and one brother, Romero, to 
Madison. The family flew from 
Lima, Peru, to Miami and then 
came by car to Madison. 
The Rojases have come here to 
educate their children. Another 
son, Max, is a sophomore pre-med 
student at Emmanuel Missionary 
College. 
Before becoming an Adventist, 
Mr. Rojas taught art for 25 years 
in schools in Peru. About nine 
years ago the family, Catholics, 
were all baptized into the Seventh-
day Adventist faith. Since then 
Mr. Rojas has been teaching in 
the Seventh-day Adventist acad-
emy in Lima, Peru. 
The newcomers are now trying 
to learn the English language as 
quickly as possible, with the help 
of their son Alex. 
The sanitarium appreciates the 
service<; of Mr. Rojas and the 
·Children, although they do get a 
b i t confused on the languages. 
However, they are learning fast 
and_ gefore long will be using 
English as well as Spanish.

Hospitalization Plan 
Several months ago the Ameri-
can Casualty Company, at the re-
quest of the Administration, made 
a survey of colle.ge and academy 
student:; to determine their hos-
pital needs. As a result of the sur-
vey, they offered a tailor-made 
plan to cost $7.50 a quarter for 
single students, married students 
without dependents $15, and mar-
ried students w i t h dependents 
$16.50. Because of the increase in 
maternity cost and the fact that 
the majority of our students are 
single, maternity benefits were not 
considered in this plan. 
The plan calls for . the usual 
coverage of hospitalization: $500 
blanket for accidents, $300 surgi-
cal benefits, $15 a day for room and. 
board, and $100 injury to natural 
sound. teeth. It also covers out-of-
hospital doctor's calls after the 
first call up to 31 at $3 each, and 
in-hospital calls at $3 each up to. 
31 cans. 
This plan was presented to the 
board, and after careful consider-
ation and study,. it was voted to 
adopt it for this institution. The 
management believes that it will 
cover our students in a satisfac-
tory manner.

Week of Prayer 
Brings New Courage 
The academy students very much 
enjoyed the Week of Prayer dur-
ing this past week. Elder Dopp 
brought encouragement to us who 
are striving to be Christians. Dur-
ing the week many cast away 
their burdens and pledged their 
lives :-
ew. We have all been 
brought closer to God and made to 
realize how real our Saviour is. 
All have enjoyed the prayer 
bands held daily after the morn-
ing service. Students presented 
special requests, which were pray. 
d for by the group. These earnest 
prayers have made a deep im-
pression on us. 
We have also appreciated the 
opportunity to counse.I with Elder

The trip up there was very pleas-
ant, even with the variety of ac-
tivities--the singing throughout the 
night led by John Aitken, eating 
breakfast in a cool breeze in the 
Blue Ridge Mountains, and the 
attempts of various students to 
catch some sleep. 
The first welcome sight was the 
Arva Motel, one mile from the 
city, our headquarters for ·four 
nights. 
We started right away to carry 
o u t o u r plans by visiting Mt. 
Vernon. The FBI also proved very 
intere!-;ting. We were shown the 
importance of just a speck of paint 
or a piece of hair in tracing a 
case. 
The changing of the guards at 
the Arlington Cemetery was an 
impressive ceremony. 
Many of the things we had stud-
ied in government class we saw 
displayed in Washington, such· as · 
the Department of Commerce and 
the Senate Office Building, where 
. w e 
visited 
Senator 
Kefauver's 
office. Since the Senator was not 
there, some of the students took 
pictures of David Martin in the 
Senator's chair. Also we· toured the 
Capitol Building, where the Senate 
and th~ House of Representatives 
seemed the most familiar. The fact 
that our guide was from Tennes-
see added to the interest. 
Most of the other places we vis-
ited were of historical interest: 
Ford Theatre, where Lincoln was 
s h o t, the house where Lincoln 
died, the Union . Station, and Lin-
coln Memorial. 
The Washington Monument at-
tracted our attention because of 
the challenge of the 898 steps to 
the top. We enjoyed the climb so 
much the first time that we just 
haq to go back one night and try

it again, with most of th 
boys 
trying to make a record-time trip. 
Paul Johnson somehow he:; 
the 
energy left to go up a secon 1 time 
that night. The view of tr ~ city 
was beautiful at night fr · 
the 
top of the monument. 
Other interesting places ' ·e vis. 
ited were the Smithsonian Insti. 
tution, the Franciscan Mon tstery, 
Church of the Immaculate Con. 
ception, and the Wax M1 seum, 
where were portrayed in li :e-like 
figures the eras of history. 
As well as being educatiomtl and 
making what we have studie ' more 
real, the trip was very enj<,yable. 
One evening we ate at Dr. Liu's 
Chinese restaurant. Eating r ice 
with chopsticks was a 
~e\ · and 
amusin.~ experience for me.· y of 
us. On Saturday night we went 
out to a pizza shop. We 2 l en· 
joyed the visit to the zoo or Mon. 
day afternoon. 
As the saying goes, "All good 
things must come to an end ·• and 
we started the return trip
