Teachers Are Needed Who Will Create Learning Experiences
Maranathans
If you pick up a handful of sand at an ocean beach, you will probably be impressed by the grains’ apparent uniformity in size and shape. Yet, with sorting, you will probably find that hardly any two of them are identical.
A parallel is noted, when we look at any group of elementary school-age children. To the casual observer they all look very much alike. Even among teachers there has been a tendency to classify the students as “third graders” or “slow learners” or “problem children,” overlooking the reality that every human being is a unique individual with his own characteristics, emotional and psychological make-up, dreams and aspirations.
To understand implies a process that is never finished and the possessor of understanding will be able to function in different times and places equally well.
Today there is a great need for teachers who can design and create meaningful learning experiences with and for their pupils. The kind of elementary school we need is not an unattainable goal or an ideal to be contemplated for some distant future. It is a learning environment which can well be structured now by well-qualified teachers whose actions are con-
sistent with their commitments to children and to sound ways of learning and growth. Each child travels this road but once.
If you are about to decide on a future profession, may we urge that you seriously and prayerfully consider teaching in the denominational elementary schools as your high calling.

More on Conscience Clause
Eighty members of Maranatha Flights International spent one month (June 8-July 8) in Thousand Oaks, California, helping to build a new church for the congregation which has worshipped in rented quarters the past six years.
Most of the 80 worked two weeks, some less, and some the entire 31 days. They came from Tennessee, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Oregon, Arizona and Ohio.
Maranatha Flights International is an organization of laymen who fly their own planes, drive, or go by commercial-air

Congress Reviews Labor Problem
Two members of Congress from California testified July 28 at a hearing by the House Subcommittee on Labor in behalf of extending the “Conscience Clause” protection to all areas of employment covered by the National Labor Relations Act.
Congresswomen Shirley Pettis of Loma Linda, the only Seventh-day Adventist member of Congress, spoke of “the tenets of my religious faith” as she traced for the committee the consequences faced by Adventists and others who, for reasons of conscience, cannot take part in labor union activities.
" 'Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith/ Some conscientious souls, on reading this, immediately begin to criticize their every feeling and emotion. But this is not correct self-examination. It is not the petty feelings and emotions that are to be examined. The life, the character, is to be measured by the only standard of character, God's holy law. The fruit testifies to the character of the tree. Our works, not our feelings, bear witness of us.
"The feelings, whether encouraging or discouraging, should not be made the test of the spiritual condition. By God's Word we are to determine our true standing before Him. Many are bewildered on this point. When they are happy and joyous, they think that they are accepted by God. When a change comes, and they feel depressed, they think that God has forsaken them. . . .
"Exercise faith in God. How many there are who go through life under a cloud of condemnation! They do not believe God's Word. They have no faith that He will do as He has said. Many who long to see others resting in the pardoning love of Christ do not rest in it for themselves. But how can they possibly lead others to show simple, childlike faith in the Heavenly Father when they measure His love by their feelings?" Review and Herald, February 28, 1907
Congressman Don Clausen, from the district in which Pacific Union College and St. Helena Hospital are located, also appealed to the Committee to deal promptly with this legislation which would prevent religious discrimination.
Chairman Frank Thompson (D-N.J.) of the Subcommittee on Labor stated publicly and privately that he believes the time has come for such a conscience clause to be included in the National Labor Relations Act.
In 1974, the National Labor Relations Act was amended to include private and for-profit health-care institutions, making it easier for them to become unionized. At that time, Congressman John Erlenborn (R-111.) sponsored an amendment that was adopted to exempt individuals whose religious convictions prevented joining olr supporting labor unions. In January 1975, he introduced a separate bill (HR 1528) to extend this protection to all employees who are covered by the National Labor Relations Act.
As a result of numerous contacts with members of Congress from both parties, it was discovered that much of the early opposition to such a bill has evaporated. Reasons for this can be traced to the success of the health-care exemption under the 1974 revisions of the NLRA; decisions by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that employers and labor unions are guilty of religious discrimination when they fire individuals solely because

to specified places to build churches, schools, or medical and dental clinics in areas where otherwise they might not be able to build. Many use vacation time from their regular work to do this.
The Thousand Oaks project was unique in that it was carried on with the object of raising funds with which to build churches in Guatamala and Mexico next winter.
They will go to Guatamala in September and will spend six months (different volunteers at different times) to build and/or restore 29 church structures, 16 of which were completely destroyed, and 13 damaged by the recent quake.
When the 80 members arrived in Thousand Oaks, the cement slabs and rough electrical wiring were already in.

Nu-Vision Camp Gets Support
MORE GENERAL NEWS ON PAGES 7 AND 8
Support by state special-education departments in Sacrament is flooding the Church’s newest outreach for witness, beginning this week at Camp Wawona.
Nu-Vision Camp, according to acknowledgements, will be serving a class no other group has sought to aid.
Blind and otherwise disabled children have registered from 32 regional centers for devel-mental disabilities: the Berkeley and Capitola Living Skills centers, Santa Clara County Outland Multi - handicapped Program, Stockton’s Community Center for the Blind, Alameda County and Fresno Associations for the Mentally Retarded, various chapters of United Cerebral Palsy, State of California Southwest Regional
Deaf/Blind Center, and Porterville State Hospital.
In addition, the State of Washington Services for the Blind is sending 15 campers; the State of Nevada Bureau of Services for the Blind is rounding up their qualified.
Gifts for more effective camping continue to arrive at Nu-Vision California Camping Headquarters, too. (Nu-Vision is the newest thrust of services to the blind by the Christian Record Braille Foundation with offices in Lincoln, Nebraska.)
A 25-foot unsinkable 14-pas-senger canoe has been donated. The fiberglass construction has a special flotation device which makes it drown-proof.

Five-Day Plans Being Held Regularly in La Sierra

During the past three years the Loma Linda community has been exposed to 43 Five-Day Plans to Stop Smoking. About 1,500 locals have made progress in kicking the habit.
In 1973, according to Chaplain C. L. Turner, a cooperative effort was adopted to stage a Five-Day Plan every month, starting the first Sunday night. Sponsors are Loma Linda University Medical Center and the Loma Linda Community Hospital. The meetings are held in Butterfield Hall.
Stanley Kannenberg, health educator at LLU Medical Center, and Chaplain Turner of the Community Hospital are codirectors. They have the assistance of four or five medical doctors at each session.
States Turner: “Attendance has been as high as 75 and as low as 16 some months, but the average is about 35. The group is usually divided evenly between men and women.”
Secret of success is motivation, and this is accomplished through instruction by the phy-

what cigarette smoke leaves in the lungs.
“We lean heavily on group therapy,” says Kannenberg. “Strength from their peers is a powerful support. We let them talk about their problems and tensions, and they gather courage from others who also have difficulties.”
“A new life style is suggested to each person,” Turner notes. “On the average, those who want to quit the habit have been addicted about 22 years. We urge them to abandon alcohol and coffee, and decrease the intake of fat and sugar. A good breakfast is advocated.”
Nearly 55 million Americans smoke cigarettes today; currently about 800 die daily as a result. The average consumption is about a pack and a half (30) a day. The national cost is staggering. To the individual

it means about $200 per year.
“It is amazing what five nights can do for those who really want to be free from the grip of nicotine,” Chaplain Turner exclaims.
A new balanced diet is presented, which includes fruits and vegetables. Individuals are urged to take baths often and drink water liberally.
Eight laws of health are outlined for the group: Use water, exercise regularly, rest, nutrition, make good use of sunshine, breathe freely of fresh air, develop self control, trust in Divine Power.
“The nicest part about these programs,” observes Chaplain Turner, “is when people come to us and plead for help to overcome the habit. They want help, and we have the help they need. The spiritual help they need is stressed and is woven into the Five-Day Plan.”
“The long-range goal is,” according to Kannenberg, “to introduce and develop a better life style, to improve their physical, mental and spiritual outlook for a healthier, happier future. It gives us a good feeling when we succeed,” he concludes.

Outdoor play for the kindergarteners kept interest high at Juniper Avenue's Vacation Bible School this year.
Fontana Juniper Avenue
This VBS Almost Didn't Happen
On July 3, 108 youngsters, most of whom were not Adventists, graduated from Vacation Bible School at Juniper Avenue Seventh-day Adventist church in Fontana, and happily toted their crafts and certificates home. But it nearly didn’t happen.
At the beginning of the year, there was not even a VBS leader appointed. Although a few people said they would help, no one wanted to be in charge. For a few weeks, Sabbath school superintendent Samuel Benjamin despaired of even having a Vacation Bible School.
Finally, his daughter Lydia Benjamin volunteered. She accepted the responsibility with a wiling heart, but when she began workshops to get helpers acquainted with the crafts and workbooks and to sort supplies, no one showed up, at first.
But prayers and persistence finally won. Suddenly adult workers from the church family began to appear, and young people by the droves volunteered to come in and help!
So, when 108 youngsters “stormed the gates of the church” as it were, Juniper Avenue was ready for them, and one of the church’s most successful Vacation Bible

Thomas Cummings Becomes Medical Director
Thomas J. Cummings, MD, Loma Linda University graduate of the class of 1949 and a Fellow, American Academy of Family Practice, is newly-appointed medical director of the Monument Valley Hospi-
T. J. Cummings ^al.
Even though Dr. Cummings was elected to this office some months earlier, he had the responsibility of closing up his practice, preparing to take up his new duties. Thus he entered his new duties the latter part of June.
Before coming to Monument Valley, Dr. Cummings maintained a family practice in Auburn, California for some 18 years. Earlier he was a physician in Mountain Home, Idaho for four years. During the Korean War he served in the army.
Dr. Cummings has two doctors associated with him: Nicola Ashton and Cyril Hartman, both MDs. Both doctors have
How One Man Was Led to Literature Evangelism
Gary Feed’s decision to enter colporteur evangelism came after a two-year search for Truth. His life style was making him uneasy.
An an Adventist friend talked with Gary about the Sabbath, he grew interested in Adventist teachings. Then he came across a copy of The Great Controversy. When he finished the entire book three days later, he was thoroughly convinced that this was the truth. Then came a period of adjustment as he pondered its application to his own future.
While attending services at an Adventist church with his wife one Sabbath, he heard the term “colporteur” used. “What is a colporteur?” he asked his wife, Louise. Together they studied the dictionary. “A colporteur is one who distributes religious books.”
“My way of life was far from Adventist standards,”
Gary recalls, “but still the idea of colporteuring kept running through my mind. I began to think that perhaps Jesus was trying to tell me something. I stopped my occasional beer, but still clung to cigarettes.”
When Publishing Director Gene Petrie went to Elko, Nevada, to fill a Sabbath appointment, Gary invited him to dinner. Petrie’s colporteur stories whetted Gary’s growing desire to “do something for the Lord.” But there was the tobacco problem.
Petrie related the story of a three-pack-a-day farmer whose friend helped him over the habit
given years of service overseas for the Church.
As medical director, Dr. Cummings will oversee the physicians’ staffing and direct the development of hospital services, in addition to routine medical responsibilities.

by writing on a cigarette, “This or Jesus.”
Later, as Gary reached for another “white coffin nail,” he could almost visualize the inscription in bold relief.
“I have smoked my last!” he said firmly.
Two days later, he presented himself at the pastor’s house and declared, “I want to be a baptized Seventh-day Adventist.”

Lone Pine Church Is Growing
With a gain in church membership, the Lone Pine Church is experiencing growing pains.
Lay Activities Leader Patricia Auvil has sponsored tract distribution and lay visitations. She is now conducting in her home, with the help of Dianne Logan, “Bible Story Hour” as
an additional means of searching out possible Bible study prospects. Alta Bentz continues her contacts through tractrack ministry and Bible studies where openings are found.
In Lone Pine there are two Church-sponsored TV programs aired each Sunday. One day Grace Workman, a talented artist and local resident, viewed one of the programs. Curious, she wrote in for more information about Adventists. A contact was made and she was given Bible studies. After attending church services for some months she requested
Associated with him in the management of the institution is business manager P. A. Jorgensen.
Members of our conference constituency should take advantage of the privilege to become personally acquainted with Dr. Cummings, working for the Church on a salary quite similar to that of a minister.

Members of CCAD program in Hawaii
JULY 4 was a special day for the members of the Kaneohe Pathfinder Club. They participated in the Fourth of July parade through downtown Kailua and were awarded first place in the drill team competition. Rose Teruya is their director.
Though they are still camping while a mission home in Kaneohe is being completed for them, the Chapmans have been busy. Betty has been building lesson plans for her seven scheduled classes and Ed has painted HMA’s newly acquired pickup truck.
Ed holds two master’s de
grees, one from San Jose State University in Industrial Education, another from San Diego State University in Psychology and Guidance. He graduated from Pacific Union College in 1954 with a B.A. in Industrial Education.
His teaching background include eight years at Fremont, California, high school and junior high, and two years at Ridgeview Junior High School in Napa before becoming director of vocational guidance in Napa County for seven years.
When Golden Gate Academy called for a team with their talents, the Chapmans responded. While there, Ed was career education counselor, work experience coordinator and vice-principal. Betty was college and scholarship counselor, purchasing agent, registrar and teacher.
Betty’s experience and preparation include a B.S. in business education and an M.A. in counseling and guidance, both from Pacific Union College. She was counselor and teacher at Pacific Union College Preparatory
School for three years. Her fourth year there found her counseling and teaching a class in bookkeeping.
Ed is an athlete whose hobbies are sports-centered. Tennis, swimming, surfing, skiing (both water and snow) and scuba diving top the list. Betty also enjoys sports, “though I’m
not as competent as Ed.” Her hobbies include fanciwork, needle point, crotcheting, crewel embroidery, and cooking.
Debbie will be a senior at HMA. Matt will return to San Bernardino Valley College in southern California and Marty will return to PUC for his sophomore year.
HMA staff, students and constituency rejoice to welcome and utilize the Chapmans. Hawaiian Adventist children can plan on quality education in business and industrial arts.

In a Nutshell
MAN PRAISES ADVENTISTS—While placing a Five-Day poster in a laundromat in La Crescenta, a man came up and wanted to know what the one posting it was doing. "Oh," he said, "I can't tell you what that means to me. I'm an ex-smoker. I went to a Five-Day Plan and I did not stop smoking. I went to the Schick Center and I did not stop. I tried a few other plans and I still did not stop smoking. One day I said, 'I choose to stop smoking/ and I remembered the things I had learned at the Five-Day Plan and put them into practice. I haven't smoked for two years, and I owe it all to this church and their wonderful plan to help others."
UNIQUE GRADUATION—The four eighth-graders at Santa Barbara this year were all girls—Rebecca Backus, Lillian Guild, Donna Louise Weeks and Carol Ann Wollarth.

About 75 children attended the Pleasant Hill VBS June 14-24 directed by Nancy Muth. Two-thirds were from non-Ad-ventist homes in the surrounding neighborhood.
Notwithstanding the very hot weather, the many capable helpers created a happy and profitable time for the children making crafts, learning Bible stories and singing.
Many of the children participated in the commencement program June 24, each child receiving a certificate of completion. Pastor Arthur Escobar spoke on “Building for the Lord.” After the program refreshments were served on the church patio where crafts were displayed.
“We trust the many lessons learned by the children will be an influence for good throughout the entire community,” said Mrs. Muth. “There is no better way to reach the parents than through their children.”

Nine Join Filipino Church through Baptism
Conference President Charles Cook officiated at the baptism of nine persons who joined the San Francisco Filipino Church June 19.
Six of the candidates were fruits of the It Is Written Revelation Seminar held in San Francisco. The other three were from the pastor’s Bible class.
Aurora Artates was contacted by a literature evangelist who sold her a set of The Bible Story. Her name was referred to the pastor who arranged for family Bible studies, leading to the baptism of Aurora’s teenage children. Aurora waited to be baptized with her husband, a mechanic for TWA.
After two years of church attendance and participation in the pastor’s Bible class Aurora
decided to be baptized without her husband. Now he says, “I am the only one who is not baptized in the family. I hope that I can get my Sabbaths off soon so I can be baptized and join my family.”
Edgardo Herrera and his wife Elisa were active leaders in the Methodist Church in Manila, Philippines, where they were well known in musical circles.
Coming to this country, the couple was attracted to It Is Written, signing up for the Bible course. Church members visited Edgardo and Elisa, inviting them to services.
After sitting in the pastor’s Bible class for over a year and finishing two sets of Bible lessons, they decided to join the Church.
Alex Jayme’s first contact with the Adventist message was in the Philippines where he worked with Adventists. After he came to America, the influence and concern of his
Adventist employer sparked Alex’s interest in Bible study.
Alex soon accepted an invitation to attend the It Is Written Revelation Seminar held in Concord. After the seminar he and his wife Alice attended the
Bible class at the Filipino church, which led to their decision to be baptized.
A BAPTISM HELD July 17 for 17 persons was the culmination of efforts in both San Francisco and San Jose by the San Francisco Samoan Church. Ranging in age 11-70, the new Adventists come from such diverse faiths as Bahai, Catholic, Congregational, Mormon, and Pentecostal. The final night of the Samoan Church's crusade (held in the San Francisco Tabernacle church) saw a large crowd of visitors and members witness the presentation of Bibles, books, and diplomas to individuals who had completed a 24-lesson Bible course. Pastor S. I. Afa'ese (right) was assisted by enthusiastic members in the total program.
With a friend, Barbara Polzin visited different Adventist churches, the Soquel campground and Pacific Union College. She became aware of the lifestyle of Seventh-day Adventists.
She invited her husband, Lee, and their daughter, Martha, to attend the It Is Written Revelation Seminar. The Polzins commuted from Oakland across the Bay Bridge to Pacifica for 20 weeks to finish the series.
There was another sacrifice, too. Barbara had to quit her job so she could keep the Sabbath.
Romayne Molaug, of Norwegian stock, was a very conscientious Lutheran. Her regular viewing of It Is Written gave her deep insights on the Sab-

Seminar Follow-up Brings Them to Decision
Among the early arrivals at San Francisco’s It Is Written Revelation Seminar in January were Ariane Wenzel and Sally Gamero.
Ariane and Sally had worked together at the Bank of America some four years before. There they had become acquainted with co-worker Versi Williams, a Seventh-day Adventist whose consistent Chris
tian witness favorably impressed the two young women. Then Versi left the bank to
bath question. She decided to keep the Sabbath in addition to Sunday.
Romayne’s attendance at the It Is Written Revelation Seminar in San Francisco led her to continue Bible studies conducted by the pastor of the Filipino Church, never missing a class in the 20-week series. When the pastor announced that a baptism would be conducted after the studies, Romayne was the first one to decide for the Lord. Now she is very happy in her newly-found faith and has begun sharing it with her husband and friends.
God is still working miracles in the lives of people.

become the Bible instructor at the Market Street church in Oakland. Ariane took a trip “down under” to Australia. Sally continued at the bank. Con
tact among the friends was lost, not to be renewed until January 25. Ariane, back from her long trip, and Sally both arrived early—and were surprised to see one another. Their old friendship was quickly renewed.
The seminar continued with meetings conducted at the San Francisco Central church. Ariane and Sally were among the 30 interests who attended regularly.
The Spirit of God was already working with Ariane. Soon she was baptized. To Ariane’s joy, her old friend from the bank, Versi Williams, came from Oakland to wish her happiness in her new-found faith.
Sally began to attend the Sabbath services and the pastor’s Bible class. When Sally was baptized in April, Versi again came to witness the happy occasion for old friends.
But even months before the San Francisco seminar, legal secretary Marlene Pierce had called to ask questions about the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She had been watching It Is Written and wanted to know more.
Invited to church, Marlene came, slipping into a pew next
Russell Heigh at SAWS warehouse site
SA WS Builds New Depot
In Watsonville, on Riverside at Harvest Drive, next to the city maintenance yard, stands a huge old fig tree. Its roots are deep in history. This tree will be the landmark for the new West Coast depot of Seventhday Adventist World Services. Ground was broken June 7 for the 15,000 square-foot facility.
According to SAWS Manager Russell Heigh, the warehouse will house and process used clothing and medical equipment
for overseas shipment.
SAWS West Coast Depot had an active part in supplying tents, clothing, and other supplies following the Guam typhoon. Earlier this year SAWS provided aid to victims of Guatemala’s earthquake. At time of disaster, SAWS works closely with the Red Cross.
The western warehouse is presently located at Monterey Bay Academy. The move is being made because SAWS needs more warehouse space and the school needs the additional room for its own activities. The fig-tree site was chosen after a year-long search. Plans call for occupancy by early September.
to Lucy Agee, an Adventist who had just recently moved to San Francisco from New York City. At the time, Lucy had no special friends, so Marlene, the It
Is Written interest, became her friend that Sabbath.
Throughout last year, they were much comfort to one another. When Marlene was baptized, Lucy rejoiced with her to see how God was leading in
their lives.
Meanwhile, another It Is Written viewer had written to Elder Vandeman with questions about the Church. In time the letter came to me and I invited the writer, Nurse Isabel Prado, to attend the San Francisco Seminar.
She couldn’t come—she was on duty—but she readily joined the pastor’s Bible class. From the start she never missed a Sabbath. Two weeks into the series, Isabel requested baptism. Following more Bible studies in her home, Isabel joined the Church.
The It Is Written Revelation Seminar continues in San Francisco even though the original 20 lessons have long since been completed. Six of the group have been baptized. God will bring many others. Of this we are confident.

Tucson Adds io School
God’s work in the Tucson area has been strengthened by the addition of grades nine and ten to the school plant. Church members have discussed plans for a junior academy for several years, since the boarding academy is over 100 miles away.
Last year, with the addition of another teacher, James Nick, eight students were taught on the secondary level in the library. Because of the crowded quarters, a building was begun last spring.
Scheduled for completion this month, the addition will house the ninth and tenth grades, plus a music room and storage area.

Chinle Church Holds VBS
On a recent Sunday morning, Mrs. David Lomeland took the Holbrook Mission van and, in several trips, picked up four dozen energetic Indian children ranging 4-13 years of age. The children were driven to the Vacation Bible School being held in the newly built Chinle Adventist church.
Veteran Indian worker Mrs. Frank Daugherty and the Orville Shermans went door to door announcing the VBS and inviting children to come.
Each day began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by gospel songs and stories. At craft time the boys made wooden airplanes while the girls constructed small clock shelves.
Sixteen children have begun attending Sabbath school. It is hoped this group can form the core for a regular Sabbath school in Chinle.

Testifying at the hearing on behalf of the bill introduced by Mr. Erlenborn, from the district that includes Hinsdale Sanitarium and Hospital, were the following: Congresswoman Shirley Pettis (R-Calif.); Congressman Don Clausen (R-Calif.); Congressman Robert Duncan (D-Ore.), of Portland, who had been involved previously in efforts to enact such legislation; Congressman Floyd Hicks (D-Wash.), from the district that includes Auburn Academy; Elder W. Melvin Adams, director of the Department of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty of the General Conference; and Leonard R. Baldwin, of the Plymouth Brethren No. 4.
Because of the lateness in this session of Congress and the lack of time before the fall congressional campaigns and elections, it is doubtful the Congress will have time to act on the bill this year. One reason for conducting hearings at this time, Mr. Thompson’s aide said, was to create a record in this session of Congress, giving it priority as old business when the new Congress convenes.

Behavioral Science Division Combines Departments
Loma Linda University’s newest academic division combines the departments of anthropology-sociology; marriage, family, and child counseling; psychology; and social work into the division of behavioral sciences. The programs in administration of justice and Middle Eastern studies are also part of the di
vision.
Formed July 1 within the College of Arts and Sciences, the division is directed by Anees A. Haddad, associate professor of sociology and coordinator of the Middle Eastern studies program.
A native of Lebanon, Haddad graduated from Middle East
"You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it."

Newly appointed director of the Division of Behavioral Sciences, Anees A. Haddad holds a staff meeting with the department chairmen. Pictured from left are Margaret Stevens, departmental secretary; Peter G. Strutz, chairman, department of psychology; June L. Horsley, chairman, department of social work; Dr. Haddad; Vern Andress, assistant professor of psychology; Fred Osbourn, chairman, marriage, family, and child counseling; and John Elick, chairman, department of anthropology-sociology.
College in Beirut, and first worked as a minister in the Mid-East Division. He earned a master’s degree in sociology from LLU. At the University of Southern California he specialized in the study of the family, earning a doctoral degree.
“The behavioral sciences are
being strengthened by pulling the departments together,” Haddad says.
Even before the division was formed, one out of every six undergraduate matriculating seniors in 1976 was from departments now within the division. The marriage, family, and child counseling department offers one of the newest of the University’s graduate degrees, but Haddad says it is quickly becoming a much-sought-after degree. LLU is the only school in the denomination to offer a graduate program in this field.
Fifteen degree programs are offered by the division, four graduate and 11 undergraduate.
“Our majors are practical and we help in the placement of our students,” says Haddad. “Every one of our master’s graduates has a job.”
A publication has been compiled by Vern Andress, assistant professor of psychology, to help the graduating senior prepare a resume or apply to graduate school. It tells the student where to find a job suited to his educational background and how to land the job once it is found. Hints on how to have a successful interview are featured.
Field placement for on-the-job training while the student is still in school is an important characteristic of many beha
vioral science curriculums. Students pursuing careers in counseling, social work, and administration of justice are all given first-hand experience at various agencies in the San Bernardino-Riverside area.
Haddad sees the division serving not only students, but the entire University family and
the Church as well. Each year the department of sociology-anthropology conducts a special orientation program for prospective student missionaries. A number of division faculty members hold dual teaching appointments in other schools within the University.
In an effort to open the lines of communication with denominational workers in the areas of behavioral science, a quarterly publication, The Adventist Behavioral Scientist, is being produced by division personnel. A series of monographs on missions is also being published.
“Adventist behavioral scientists are distinct from others in the profession,” Haddad contends. “We interpret the theories of behavioral science in light of our beliefs.”
Hamilton Gels New Post
John T. Hamilton, director of public relations for the La Sierra Campus, assumed the added responsibility of Alumni Coordinator July 1.
He now serves as liaison between the alumni associations, the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and President of the University.
Bailey Gillespie, president of the College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association; Erwin Mack, president of the School of Education Alumni Association; and Donald Prior, vice-president for public relations and development, conferred with President V. Norskov Olsen in making the appointment.
Hamilton’s talents are well known by the alumni. He has been “Mr. Music Man” at La Sierra for almost 30 years. In 1948 he started the “Collegians” which later became the “La Sierrans.”
Activities of the alumni office on the La Sierra Campus will be administered by Hamilton.
