Shall We 
Celebrate? 
ByJeffandAmyDeming 
People dancing in the aisles waving their 
hands and people sitting in pews with tongues 
of fire above their heads—this was the picture 
that had been painted in our minds of what a 
Celebration church "must be like." Often 
classified with the charismatic movement, 
the "celebration" movement within the 
Adventist denomination has been the subject 
of much debate. Untruths have a way of 
propelling themselves into rumors which, in 
turn, push their way into the attitudes of 
individuals who are willing to accept them 
without seeking to find the truth for them-
selves. 
Over Winter Break we had the 
opportunity to judge the opinions for our-
selves. On Sabbath, February 15, we at-
tended the Celebration Center located near 
Loma Linda, California. 
As we passed through the gates into the 
parking lot of the church, a banner greeting 
us proclaimed, "The Celebration Contin-
ues!" Ahead, through the rain, we could not 
miss seeing a huge red umbrella with a man 
beneath directing us to a parking place. No 
fighting for a parking place this. Sabbath 
morning! 
Inside, we were welcomed, and our hands 
were shook, and we entered the sanctuary to 
find a seat. We had been warned that on 
some Sabbaths there was standing room 
only, so we had arrived early. Immediately 
we were impressed with the warmth of the 
members of the church toward each other. 
There was more hugging and hand shaking 
and chit-chatting than at a family reunion. 
Contemporary Christian music played over 
the speaker system, and as it blended with the 
small groups of conversation, the church 
hummed with energy. 
So what was the Celebration church ser-
vice really like? Certainly we did not en-

Looking Forward 
By Becky

"We are committed to getting something 
done by next year.", These are the words of 
Academic Dean Sandra Price as she discusses 
computer plans for the Union College Cam-
pus. 
"We have been studying this since 
October, when a computer coordinating com-
mittee was formed to determine what was 
needed," she says. By the end of the school 
year, a plan should be in place to update* the 
campus-wide microcomputer network. 
Before proceeding, the administration 
would like another chance to determine stu-
dent preferences for a computer system. "We 
want the student input," says Dr. Price. "The 
final decision will depend on other factors, 
such as financial considerations, but their 
opinions are very important." Students will 
have the opportunity to ask questions and 
voice their ideas at a townhall meeting on 
Wednesday, March 4, at 10:30 a.m. A list 
of alternatives will be presented, and a 
survey will be taken. 
There are two major alternatives in this 
computer decision: 1) Update the main-
frame and install a new terminal in each 
room that is capable of operating 
WordPerfect or 2) Buy more personal com-
puters and place them in accessible microlabs 
in dorms or other areas around campus. Dr. 
"Forward" Continued on

The next Town Hall meeting has been 
slated for next Tuesday morning, March 3 at 
10:30. . The subject of discussion at the 
meeting will be computers on campus. 
WAIT! Don't stop reading! 
I know that 
everybody (OK...so maybe not everybody) is 
tired of hearing the computer majors argue 
about the new this and that—but this might 
actually involve YOU. (gasp) 
Would you like to have more new and 
improved microcomputers in the microlab? 
Or would you rather update the old on-line 
system currently being used in your room? 
This would mean that you could actually use 
a real word processor to do your homework, 
instead of TDP. If you have any opinion on 
this at all, I suggest that you read on and then 
show up at the Town Hall meeting to tell the 
administration what you think. 
I guess it's only fair to warn you that the 
issue is just a bit more complicated than it 
seems at first. Let's start with the updated 
on-line system. There are quite a few options 
here to mix and match. What would prob-
ably happen is that the big computer upstairs, 
an HP 3000, would be replaced with an HP 
9000. 
This in and of itself would cost 
somewhere around $85,000. The new main-
frame computer would allow for the use of 
newer programs such as WordPerfect. With-
out new terminals though, we run into a 
slight problem. There are no function keys. 
This means that a new set of commands 
would have to be worked out . in which a 
different series of 2-3 keys would be pushed 
instead of the ones used with microcomput-
ers. 
Obviously, this could lead to some 
confusion (not to mention tangled fingers.) 
There is a possibility of replacing the

"It's always thesame, 
You know who is to blame.

Stillwekeep onplaying 
Head games " -Foreigner 
There is something that has bothered me 
since I first arrived at this school. 
That 
something is the way people date like they're 
in high school. It is a pathetic thing that 
people should come to college and play, the 
same childish games that they learned while 
still immature high school students. The fact 
remains that college age students, who are 
supposed to be adult about some things, act 
like they are still in academy. This is ridicu-
lous. The whole problem is that when in high 
school, people learn to be selfish, and con-
cern themselves only with what they can do 
or get away with. This in turn comes from the 
fact that honesty is employed about as much 
as an underwater duck salesman. 
Let's start with the lovely little things that 
humans leam right off the bat when in high 
school. This is called "games." The one 
reason these were brought into, existence is 
that at that time in our lives we knew less 
about dating than we knew about nuclear 
physics. Therefore, games were used to hold 
relationships at bay long enough to figure out 
what they were. This did not stop in our 
senior year when we should have known 
what was going on. It continued into college. 
The number one rule in games is never let 
somebody have the upper hand or control as 
we perceive it. That is, we can't ever tell 
anybody how we feel or completely show 
them or they will control the situation. 
Let me have a very large break. Control 
somebody because I know how they really 
feel: this is so lame I have trouble even 
including it. If you are honest with people, 
and they try to use that against you, and you 
put up with it, then you are not extremely 
bright. On the opposite side, if you try to 
control someone who likes you, and you use 
that as a weapon against them, then you're 
stupid too. 
Another little game I notice that college 
students, as well as junior high students 
everywhere, play is the "let's make the other 
person jealous game." This usually means 
that you think this person likes you, but for 
some reason he doesn't show it. So you get

counter tongues of fire or "rolling in the 
aisles." We thoroughly enjoyed the song 
service during which the words to contempo-
rary Christian songs (such as Sandi Patti 
favorites) were projected onto a large screen 
a( the front of the sanctuary. Yes, some 
participants did stand with uplifted arms; 
however, we were fascinated by the over-
whelming participation of the congregation 
in the song service—especially as we noted 
the diversity in ages of members attending. 
For instance, we later learned that the couple 
seated next to us were in their seventies, and 
they did not seem shocked to be accompa-
nied by a synthesized keyboard and drum set 
or intimidated (as we somewhat were) by the 
few individuals standing as they sang, arms 
uplifted. 
Amidst the controversy over the celebra-
tion "movement," some purposes for its ex-
istence seem to be forgotten—or not men-
tioned. Members of the Celebration Center 
talked with us after the service. They ex-
pressed to us that the original purpose for 
starting the Celebration Center had been to 
provide an environment that would attract 
ex-Adventists and Christians of other de-
nominations. They wanted to attract people 
to the excitement and enjoyment that could 
be found simply in giving God praise. This 
this crazy idea—"Hey, I'll just ask out his 
friend and make him jealous." Exactly how 
long has it been since you were a sixteen-
year-old? To think that he wouldn't notice 
you if you didn't ask out his friend. If he 
doesn't notice you when you ask him out, 
why on earth would he notice you when you 
ask out his friend? I know we did this type 
of thing when we first got our drivers' li-
censes and liked to hang out at malls, but why 
now? Does this help anything? Doubt it. 
Why play something that we learned so 
long ago? What relevance do games we 
learned as sixteen-year old's have in col-
lege? I say nothing. Others tell me that you 
have to play the game or you'll get hurt. That 
is a great one. I'm sick of hearing "She hurt 
me really bad" or "He hurt me; I don't trust 
guys." Hurt-is very relative. Most of the 
people 1 know that have been "hurt" so bad 
are wallowing in a pity party large enough to 
house the Senate's office staff. If you date 
somebody for a couple of weeks or a couple 
of months and feel that because they dumped 
you that- you are extremely hurt, I have two 
words for you—GET REAL. This is not real 
pain. Sure, everybody who gets dumped is 
entitled to a little bit of depression, but I've 
seen people get over divorce quicker it seems. 
If-you open yourself up completely in the 
first couple of weeks to someone you're just 
getting to know, then you need to reevaluate 
your methods. If you do something physi-
cally (I will not discuss the moral issues here) 
with someone that you weren't comfortable 
with, but did it anyway, I don't feel sorry for 
you. 
If you give up important things to 
people you hardly know, whether emotional 
or physical, you reap the rewards. Playing 
games will not save you from your own 
stupidity, but it could chase away a decent 
person who couldn't care less for childish 
games. 
Dating is a simple thing: you go out for a 
while and somebody dumps somebody else. 
It's a simple cycle that will repeat itself until 
you get married or hit by a cement truck. So 
don't complicate matters by playing games, 
wallowing in self pity, or alienating your 
own life. Basically, grow up and quit dating 
like this is the prelude to the prom. Life goes 
by much too fast to complicate it further.

helped us to better understand the casual 
approach to the presentation of the sermon, 
the variety and drama in the Children's story, 
the inclusion of popular Christian music 
during song service, and even the use of the 
drum set! 
One particular couple related to us the 
changes that have taken place in their own 
family since beginning to attend the Cel-
ebration church. They said that it has made 
them become more aware of the effect of 
their attitudes toward their ex-Adventlst chil-
dren. Their children have noticed the new 
acceptance and unconditional expressions 
of love from their parents, and they have 
begun attending church again. Perhaps this 
is one reflection of the way that the Celebra-
tion Center is succeeding in its attempts to • 
help heal families and relationships. 
Our experience in visiting the Celebra-
tion Center proved to be a rewarding one. 
We felt that on a week-to-week basis the 
Celebration Center would not provide (he 
structure for growth that we feel is essential; 
however, we left filled with a new "enthusi-
asm for loving God. Much like a Week of 
Prayer that can not last forever, the Celebra-
tion Center was, for us, a breath of revitaliz-
ing life. Visiting it not only provided us with 
the opportunity to encounter the "celebra-
tion movement" first hand, it also gave us~a 
chance to "celebrate" the love of God.

Feature 
By: Manish RajPandey 
The body on the sidewalk lay motionless. 
Oblivious to the pouring monsoon rain that 
was seeping through his cardboard roof, he 
was asleep, deeply engrossed in an otherwise 
inaccessible dreamland. His worn-out blan-
ket, which had withstood many tough days, 
made a feeble effort in keeping him warm. 
Sleep gave him pleasure and inexplicable 
excitement. This was the only time when he 
could venture anywhere without being taunted 
and looked down upon. What he loved about 
sleeping was the dreaming part. In fact, his 
dreams kept his hopes alive. "Patience is my 
asset, and dreams are my best friends," he 
once said to me, "and someday I'm going to 
reach the zenith of success that I so dearly 
long for such that I can help all those around 
me who are underpriviledged." 
Raju was one of those unfortunate village 
people ofNepal, who abandoned their abodes 
and poured into the capital city to try their 
fortune. Kathmandu, the capital ofNepal, is 
regarded as the haven for those who have lost 
their hopes, a place where dreams come true 
and miseries disappear with the advent of 
instant success. 
I met Raju when he stopped me as I was on 
my way to work. His appearance was un-
nerving to say the least. He was man of short 
stature. His shirt was torn in many places; I 
Raju's Hope 
could count the ribs on his body. His rattail 
hair was long and sparse and dirty gray in 
color. His pants were oversized and barely 
hung to his waist. The shoes were almost 
without soles, and his toes were sticking out. 
His face was sunburned, and the cheekbones 
were protruding outward. He had a large 
nose, and his cobwebbed eyes were lifeless, 
as if they were gazing at the eternal nothing-
ness in front of them. When he cracked a 
smile, his green teeth became painfully con-
spicuous. His sunburned, wrinkled face and 
emaciated figure bore testimonies of his 
years of deprivation. I felt uneasy being 
stopped by an odious stranger. He smiled 
and asked me for a rupee (an equivalent of 
two U.Svpennies) to feed a starving child. In 
order to avoid any further engagements with 
the character who represented the epitome 
of abjection, I handed him two one-rupee 
bills and left. As I was walking away, I could 
hear his praises for me. 
That night after running into Raju, I had 
a hard time sleeping. He had left an unusual 
impression on me. I wanted to know more 
about him. I wanted to find out where he 
lived, how he lived, and why he had to be like 
that. His appearance had a strange air of 
acridness, yet he came across as one of an 
even disposition. 
Eating At the Garden 
ByKellyStrom 
The uniqueness of The Garden Cafe is 
wrapped up in its old-fashioned atmosphere, 
heaping portions of everything from pies to 
sandwiches to salads, and a price that won't 
put too much strain on your pocket book. It 
won't be a wild night out on the town, but if 
your looking for an evening spent under a 
green and white gazebo while listening to 
music from the Big Band Era, don't hesitate 
another second. 
The Garden Cafe is new to the Star City as 
of November 22,1991; however, it has flour-
ished in Omaha and Council Bluffs. Located 
at 6891 A St., in the Clocktower Village, -The 
Garden Cafe accommodates those who w&nt 
to dine in as well as take-out and catering. 
The hours run from 6:30 a.mi to 9:00 p.m., 
and everything from cash to credit to per-
sonal checks are accepted. 
If you're looking for a guaranteed deli-
cious meal, try the chicken teriyaki, salad 
with creamy Italian dressing, and green beans. 
I highly recommend all of the above items. 
Of course, dessert can't be overlooked, and 
one oftheir best happens to be the red rasp-
berry cheesecake. Keep in mind, it is practi-
cally a sin to go to The Garden Cafe without 
ordering dessert. 
One of the restaurant's trade marks is its 
wide variety of extras. T-shirts, hats, and 
stuffed animals give the restaurant added 
character and charm. A bakery full of pud-
dings, bars, brownies, cakes, and pies offers 
sofnething for everyone. Whether it be a 
stuffed cow or a loaf of bread you'decide to 
take home, the Garden Cafe provides it in 
style. For early risers, half price breakfasts 
are available before 8:30 a.m. Those wish-
ing to sample one of the many desserts might 
Want to try the one dollar pies which are 
available between 2 and 4 every afternoon 
except weekends. 
Although The Garden Cafe deserves SL 
favorable review overall, a few minor prob-
lems existed. Something one might want to 
consider before jumping in the car is that a 
20 to 40 minute waif s typical. Those whose 
happen to go at just the right time might be 
able to be seated immediately, but pick the 
wrong time, and the wait will undoubtedly 
be over an hour. Other than that, I was rather 
unimpressed with the waitress I encoun-
tered. She seemed less than helpful, but not 
to the extent that it made my visit 
unenjoyable. I also found the menus to be 
poorly organized, which made it difficult to 
locate certain items. 
This was probably 
because this restaurant has absolutely EV-
ERYTHING. 
Overall, The Garden Cafe is definitely 
worth trying. The bottom line is that they 
serve good food and lots of it. 
After moderate research I came to know 
Raju, the real person. He lived on the side-
walk outside the mansion of Sardar, the most 
esteemed business tycoon of the city. More 
than six decades ago, he came from a remote 
village in eastern Nepal after his hut and his 
family were wiped out in a vicious flood. He 
came to Kathmandu in search of a job and to 
forget his misfortune back in his village. 
Since then he has roamed the streets of 
Kathmandu. 
He even participated in the 
freedom fight some forty-one years ago that 
freed the kingship of the country from the 
dictatorial hands of the Rana family. 
What caught my eyes most was his role in 
the realm of indigent like himself. He was 
like a big brother to the poor and needy of the 
city. They went to him to solve their prob-
lems. His sound wisdom was their source of 
hope. 
Little children of his fellow poor 
would gather around him in evenings; he 
would tell them fascinating stories. One of 
his favorites was the story of Sardar, the man 
in the mansion. Sardar came fro/n Burma 
many years ago with nothing but his loongi 
and a shirt. Through years of hard work and 
industriousness, he became the mogul of 
Nepalese business. 
This story kept the 
children's hopes alive. They would dream 
about being as successful as Sardar, and they 
would smile. Once one of the little boys fell 
from a high fence and cracked his skull. He 
was bleeding incessantly. Raju came to his 
relief, wheedled a taxi driver to give them a 
ride to the hospital, and gave his blood to the 
child to save his life. Then to pay the 
hospital bill, he went around the city collect-
ing scrap metal and aluminum cans and sold 
them. Eventually he managed to pay a small 
portion of the bill, and the rest was forgiven. 
There were numerous days when he would 
feed the children from his daily earnings 
from selling scrap metal and aluminum cans. 
I have had many conversations with Raju. 
Life on the streets made him strong, but 
more than that, he became a philosopher, a 
staunch believer in God. 
He mused, "I 
believe in the grace of God. He has kept a 
pariah like me alive on the streets for' so 
many years now. Without Him I would have 
been long gone." His optimism and altruism 
made him one of the richest persons I have 
ever encountered. Once he told me, " Life 
is a journey, and one can meander through it 
endlessly in search of happiness, but happi-
ness comes only through giving and helping 
others today and believing in the fact that 
tomorrow will be better." Then he contin-
ued, "Sardar is extremely wealthy, but I 
have caught him many a night, looking at me 
with envy, because I have something he 
doesn't have—sleep."

computer terminals themselves. These new 
keyboards would have the normal function 
keys and would cost approximately $60,000. 
Even though your fingers would be happy this 
way, there remains another complicating fac-
tor. The lines running to each room are not set 
up to run fast computers. What we have right 
now is wiring that supports 1200 BOD (bits of 
data). 
I am told that this means the new 
terminals would still be slow. Slow is a rather 
relative term I realize, and uneducated com-
puter users like myself may be forced to ask, 
"OK, so just how slow is slow?" I'm so glad 
you asked. The computers in our microlab are 
set up to use 9600 BOD. That means that the 
terminals in our rooms (1200 BOD) would be 
eight times slower than the ones up on 3rd 
floor. There is hope though. For another 
$60,000 (or something in that area) we could 
revamp the lines for a new controlling system. 
According to the computer experts, the 
main problem with a new in-room system 
would be the low-resolution monitors that 
would not allow the use of graphics. At first, 
this might not seem like that big of a deal. 
Computer classes however, usually require 
the use of graphics. To many it would seem 
a large misuse of funds to spend $205,000 
dollars for a computer package that cannot be 
used for computer class assignments. Many 
programs are now moving toward a "win-
dows" type approach geared for microcom-
puters. These new programs could not be used 
to update the on-line system. We may just be 
stuck with the first programs loaded into the 
system. 
, 
The next significant hurdle concerns fi-
nancing. Funds may be generated so that 
everything can be paid for. 
Then again, 
maybe they won't. Those who like living on 
the edge might get a rush out of plunging 
$205,000 into a program like this. I some-
how got the impression though, that those 
teachers I interviewed weren't too enthused 
about the idea. 
The other major option open to us is more 
microcomputers. From what information I 
was able to gather, for approximately 
$ 100,000 dollars, we could get fifty new 486 
microcomputers. Or something like that, 
anyway. At this point in the game there is no 
end to approximations. 
The computers in the mifcrolab now are 
comparable to an 8086. Since the time those 
were purchased, the computer world has 
produced 80286's, 80386's, and, yes, even 
80486's. It's the 486's that are the most 
modem, so that would be the best kind to get 
according to those in the know. If fifty such 
computers could be purchased, then those 
would be the ones put into the microlab. 
Those in the lab right now would be moved 
to a different room, perhaps somewhere in 
the student center area, or the terminal room 
that now houses the older TDP-type com-
puters. 
With the new computers would have to 
come new printers. Printers in each microlab 
room would be nice, but planning hasn't 
gone that far yet and nobody really knows 
what type of printers they would be. 
There's talk that these new computers 
could be installed by the start of the first 
semester next year. Since we're already into 
late February though and nobody really has 
any factual information as to what kind of 
computers we would get, a more realistic 
estimate may be second semester next year. 
So that's the low-down on the computer 
scene. Like 1 said before—this does affect 
you, so if you have any opinion on the 
subject, be sure to go to the Town Hall 
meeting and tell 'em what you think. 
Midnight 
Madness 
By Todd Hoy t 
"If you think I'm going down to the

crazy"! But for a prize some people will do 
anything. Just ask Kristan Nickell and Erica 
McCoy. 
The 2nd Annual Midnignt Madness sale 
at the Campus store on February 19 was a 
huge success. Totals for the evening were 
over $3,400, and that's about four times the 
usual sale for an average day. 
One of the main events of the night was 
the Eye Popper Chew. Incredibly enough, 
Melissa Cardwell shoved the eight whole 
sour gum balls into her mouth in 30 seconds. 
Wow! Jane Musembi came in second with

Kim White did well in guessing how 
many Jolly Ranchers were in the fish bowl. 
Good,on ya, mate—there were 196 in all. 
Also, there were 416 letters on the Jan Sport 
poster on the ceiling. And let's not forget 
our 100th customer, who was Sung Jee Bak. 
I believe she's going to enjoy her new book 
bag. 
The big winner of the evening was 
Rebekah Rogge. 
She found the missing

her choice.

big "Thanks" to all who came!

Price says she is unbiased about the choices; 
however, she does point out'that each system 
has definite strong and weak points. 
The 
mainframe offers accessible use in the rooms 
and is probably cheaper to maintain, but it 
would not have the advanced capabilities of a 
personal computer. Creating more microlabs 
would allow flexibility and advanced applica-
tions, but accessibility would be more lim-
ited. Dr. Price concludes, "Sacrifices will be 
made either way." 
She still seems to be 
excited that a decision will be reached, and 
improvements will probably appear some-
time next year. 
.The March 4 townhall meeting should 
reveal a good deal of diversity in student 
opinions. Some computer and science stu-
While computer updating is a major 
priority, Dr. Sandra Price has been busy with 
other changes and improvements in the past 
weeks. Last Friday she made several com-
ments about current developments in the 
area of academic administration. 
Once of Dr. Price's current projects 
is preparing accreditation reports for the 
nursing and teacher education programs on 
campus. She is also making plans to make 
additions to the commercial art program as 
soon as possible, especially in the area of 
computers. "Right now we are studying the 
market to see which computers will be the 
best," she says. "We have to know what the 
industry is using so our students will be 
prepared." New computers for art should 
appear by next year. 
Some students have asked lately if 
changes have been made in graduation re-
quirements, especially for summer gradu-
ates. Dr. Price explains that nothing has 
changed yet, but the possibilities are being 
considered. Currently, only 50 to 60 per-
cent of summer graduates (those who march 
in the spring with intentions to finish re-
quirements during the summer) actually 
finish their degrees. This trend is not unique 
to Union College. Some schools, such as 
Walla Walla and Andrews University, do 
not let students march at graduation unless 
they have completed all requirements ex-
cept practicums. Dr. Price is not sure yet if 
Union will go that route. 
Finally, Dr. Price announces that 
the future of an honors program is being 
studied by the Curriculum and Instruction 
Committee. They are planning a system 
that would phase additions in gradually. At 
this point, we cannot expect to hire new 
faculty exclusively for this program. 
Changes should begin in about two years.

The Vine Goes Mental 
ByHolden Caulfield 
Mental? That's right men-
tal. Too bad I can't make a 
neato movie and rake in the 
big funds. Then I could have 
cool phrases like hurl, psycho 
hose beast, babus majoris. 
Coolness dude, that would be 
way...as if. 
I would like to acknowl-
edge 
the 
genius 
of 
the 
Developmetal Psych class for 
having the baby class right 
before the start of the spring 
love fest. I know it put cold 
fear into me to see the girls I 
know 
carrying 
kids. 
AAEEIIIGGHHH!!! 
That's 
just in case the guys were think-
ing of heading down to Ne-
braska diamond for the old 
engagement rock. Those sacks 
of flour should make ypu stop 
and think for a while, like four 
years. 
It's been awhile since the 
Vine last attacked. So there 
should be lots to write about 
or...(pause for effect) NOT. 
So I guess I will start with the 
new couples around campus 
since the beginning of the semester: 
1) Jerry Rector and Patria Diehl—I've got 
one word for you Jerry, before you sign pre-
nuptials. FRANKIE. 
2) Lisa Larios and Sean Lehman—Chem-
istry and Piano. Was there a movie about 
that? 
3) Missy Severns and Harry Connick Jr.-

-Missy how do you say potato? You know 
. you'll have leave Minnesota. 
4) Jeni Metry and Dan Rosenthal--Wait, 
they aren't new. Aren't they married? No, 
they just act like it. 
5) Frankie Diehl and Kim Kelley—The 
could-be new couple. Odds are 6:5 for in the 
latest line, so place bets carefully. 
Well that's, it for couples. Glad you all 
could ask somebody out and give me gunk to 
write on. The Vine recipe for love: 1 banana, 
a Hefty cinch sack, 4 onions, 2 cinnamon 
sticks, half a dozen teaspoons of sugar, the 
juice of one radish—mix it up in hefty sack 
and bury in yard for a week, no more, no less. 
The Vine wants to know if Mark Pfeiffer 
and Andrea Easter have the same hair stylist? 
I did not know that. Did Jason Fisher get 
those nasty marks on his arm from Jennifer 
or Paul? It's common knowledge that Paul 
can fight, but can Miss Pettijohn? 
Rich Roeske the Vine deems thee "Cradle 
Robber." 
Manish Pandey the Vine deems thee "Stud 
Muffin Extraordinaire." 
On the fashion sccne, the nurses' caps 
have got to go. Where did they find those 
things? Does the Flying Nun know that you 
have her hat? If the world can't live without 
you, then can't you get cool hats? The Vine 
especially noted Ann Swanson's rakish cap 
look. She was working it. I did like the Flo 
lamps though. She was a gnarly babe. 
That's all the Vine has for you this time. 
One last question. 
What movie did this 
author last see?

that the youthful shooting of Ron Dodds and 
Ric Spaulding has been one of the key 
factors for their recent "Second Wind." 
Over (not up) in A League, things have 
been getting closer and closer. Chip Hart's 
team is making a strong move for the gold as 
the end of the season is wrapped up with two 
impressive wins over Pfeiffer's team 
and Nelson's team. Credit goes to the 
strong, if not bullish, play of Mike 
Needles and Jason Fisher. On the 
other side of the timeline, both the 
Aqua team of Pfeif and the maroon 
team of Nels have been struggling 
through the last half of the season 
with emotional highs and lows due to 
hard fought wins and backbreaking 
losses. Speaking of struggling, the

LASEE'YA CALIFORNIA 
Over winter break, the Warriors went out 
to sunny California where they encountered 
several interesting things such as floods, 
mud-slides, and, of course, Disneyland. Yet, 
the main focus of the trip was the game with 
our sister school, La Sierra University. - La 
Sierra would prove to be a very formidable 
opponent, as they would send three players 
onto the court over 6' 5". 
However, the 
Warriors felt confident that they could over-
come the height disadvantage. 
Why not? 
They survived one 
of the most gruel-
ling roller coast-
ers in the world, 
Space Mountain, 
in the midst of all 
the 
California 
smog. 
Right...? 
So what did a few 
tall athletes mean 
to these rugged 
plainsmen from 
Nebraska? Noth-
ing, 
right...? 
Right. 
The first 
half saw several 
signs in the crowd 
reading "Califor-
nians for Nebras-
kans" but, perhaps 
more importantly, 
saw the Warriors 
jump out to an 
early twelve-point 
lead. 
But as the 
first half started to 
close, so did the 
La Sierra team, as 
they took a four-
point lead into the 
half leading 44 to 
40. During half time, the Warriors' coaches 
and trainers passed out inhalers to clear out 
the Unionites' smog-stricken lungs. 
Hans 
Widicker said, "It was like I was given new 
life." So with the Warriors being given this 
new life, they went out and played one of the 
best halves of basketball that California has 
ever seen. The likes of Woody Hayes said he 
had never even seen anything 1 ike it at UCLA. 
It was a clinic, it was a masterpiece, it was a 
much-needed win! The Warriors out scored 
La Sierra 47 to 37 in the second half to bring 
back the Union pride in an 87 to 81 victory. . 
The word has gotten out that Union is the 
King of the Adventist schools, and all the 
schools want to play us, all the while know-
ing that the Warriors took down the mighty 
Californians. As the team left, in what could 
have been called a torrential rain, they re-
flected back on their accomplishments of 
their week in the Golden State. They had 
conquered all that Mickey Mouse and 
Disneyland could dish out (especially the 
sound track of "It's a Small World" and their 
worst nightmare in the Pirates of the Carib-
bean), they had been introduced to half the 
population of Japan, and they had defeated a 
quality team from La Sierra University. So, 
as the Warriors -
sat in their seats 
on the way home 
wringing out their 
socks and trying 
to get all of the, 
water out of their 
ears, they knew 
they were bring-
ing 
home 
the 
pride of Union 
round-ball and 
Warrior 
Su-
premacy.

Hello, ladies 
and 
gents, it's 
once again time for an adrenaline-pumping 
report on the who's, why's, and what's of 
Union intramurals. Unfortunately, we're not 
really sure about the why's, so we will leave 
that to personal opinion. However, the who' s 
and the what's can certainly be recalled...and, 
if not, we'll make something up. We have 
closed out our last regular season games for 
the year with some serious basketball. 
In B League the Red team of Wesley P. 
ended the season by playing some very good 
ball thanks to good defense as well as the 
unconscious shooting of Wes and quite a bit 
of help from Mark Kelley.

Peter (I am an Indian) Blackburn at the

Faculty team, wearing the unforgettable 
Green, has begun to play as though they've 
been playing together for years...well, they 
probably have, but let's not forget to mention 
lacking record. Regardless of the Jugglers' 
record, one thing must be said—when they 
play, they play to have fun...and that they 
do...as well as provide some much-needed 
humor to the game with their carefree atti-
tudes. 
Well, folks that should just about wrap it 
up for this issue. Until next 
time keep your hands up and 
your feet on the ground.
