Have you ever wondered how a computer would critique 
Abraham Lincoln's Getttysburg address? Well, I typed in this 
famous speech and fed it to a program in the microcomputer lab 
called Right Writer. This is what came out. 
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on 
this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedi-
cated to the proposition that all men are created < PASSIVE 
VOICE: are created > equal. < LONG SENTENCE: 30

< PASSIVE VOICE: are engaged > in a great <IS THIS EX-
PLAINED? great > civil war, testing whether that nation, or any 
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. < LONG 
SENTENCE: 24 WORDS > < COMPLEX SENTENCE > We 
are met < PASSIVE VOICE: are met > on a great <IS THIS 
EXPLAINED? great > battle-field of that war. We have come to 
dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those 
who here gave their lives that that < REPEATED

do this. 
But, < SENTENCE BEGINS WITH BUT> in a larger 
sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can 
not hallow-this ground. < COMPLEX SENTENCE > The 
brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have conse-

be dedicated < PASSIVE VOICE: be dedicated > here to the 
great <IS THIS EXPLAINED? great > task remaining 
before us-that from these honored dead we take increased 
devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall 
not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall

The writing style is overly descrip-

Tidings from 
Chile 
from Pedro Perez 
October 2,1990 
Well , I'm here. To say 
the least-it's been adventure-
some. The problem is not my 
Spanish but my English. 
However, let me start at the 
| beginning. Approximately 
one week prior to my de-
parture from the States I re-
ceived a letter from Chile. The 
letter stated I would be going 
to Temuco (instead of Los 
Angeles as originally planned 
according to the SM call book). I 
knew no difference between the 
two cities so it made no differ-
ence. 
Then August 15 arrived, one 
day prior to my scheduled depar-
ture. It was about 5 p.m. (local 
time, K.C.) and I had yet to receive 
my ticket. I wasn't too worried 
but my family was-my sisters began 
making phone calls. Finally the 
ticket was located and my oldest 
sister left to go pick it up. My ticket 
was not in my hands until less than 
12 hours before my departure. Was 
I worried? No, I still had to pack! 
That took all night. I got no rest-
none! 
Well, then began the plane ride-
all went well. I slept mostly and 
woke up to eat-then slept. I waited 
seven hours in Caracas-I originally 
planned to rendezvous with a couple 
but was unable to. I arrived in San-
tiago three hours late due to weather 
conditions but I got to meet the 
Faculty Responsibilities Shift as 
Two Leave 
by Julie Allardyce 
Effective Jan. 1, several faculty mem-
bers will take on new responsibilities 
either here at Union or at other colleges. 
Dr. Lilya Wagner will be going to the 
Center of Philanthropy at Indiana Uni-
versity in Indianapolis. Her job will in-
clude working with The Fundraising 
School and training others in doing devel-
opment work. Other responsibilities will 
be marketing and curricular work. 
"It was a difficult decision to leave," 
Dr. Wagner said," it's been five wonder-
ful, exciting years." Although she feels it 
is an excellent job offer, "it will be hard to 
leave Union." 
Some of her fondest 
memories are teaching class and numer-
ous achievements. 
Under her leadership, $4.3 million have 
been raised toward the $4.7 million goal 
of the Centennial Year campaign. She 
credits the successfulness to a fully coop-
erative board and alumni, and to the re-
cent surge of Lincoln community sup-
port. Also under her leadership, the fund 
for the student center renovations is close 
to completion. 
Dr. Donald Pursley will become the 
Vice President of Finance of Loma Linda 
University beginning next year. His current 
position as VP of Finance and chairman 
ofthe Division of Business and Computer 
Science will be separated. Dr.Pursley is 
leaving due to "a challenge and a feeling 
of God's calling." 
His responsibilities 
will be much the same as VP of Finance 
here, but on a larger scale. 
Union's current Business Manager, Gary 
Bollinger, will add VP of Finance to his 
duties as of Jan.l. Although it will be a lot 
of responsibility, "everybody in the divi-
sion does more than their share," he said. 
Mr. Bollinger's major goal as the new VP 
of Finance will be "continuing to make 
Christian education affordable for young 
people. 
"Dr. Larry Ray has been selected to be 
the chair of the Division of Business and 
Computer Science for second semester. 
"I'm interested in serving the division 
through this transition period," he said. 
The division is searching for a teacher to 
take over the computer classes he would 
give up as chairman. 
A 
other SM from California (a blessing for 
us both). Then I rode the bus (no, there 
were no chickens, goats, pigs, etc., but 
there were cushioned seats, with heat). 
The ride lasted nine hours, but I slept so it 
was okay. I finally arrived after some 49 
hours from the time I left my house to the 
time of my arrival in Temuco. 
I am living in a two-story house with 
four other guys and five girls. All of the 
members of the house are Adventist col-
lege students studying at public colleges. I 
am enjoying Chile. I have had the chance 
to travel and have seen the academy at Los 
Angeles as well as the SDA university in 
Chilian. In Temuco I am working at the 
Adventist school. I am teaching English 
to grades 1-12 and professors. I am find-
ing it to be quite a challenge, yet I am also 
learning much about mystrengths/weak-
nesses, etc. My Spanish is coming well, 
yet after almost two months of battling 
out my Spanish I find my English is not 
coming as fluently as it once did. 
I am presently in charge of spiritual 
activities for the house. We have worship 
every morning together and soon I hope 
we can adopt a smaller church in the area 
and begin helping (doing services one 
time per month). 
I've also had the chance to preach in 
Spanish (scary, but God blessed). 
My 
confidence has been in knowing that the 
same God who has made it possible for 
me to come will continue to bless me. I 
accept it by faith. I appreciate your prayers. 
The food is not bad. A lot of potatoes in 
different forms. The bread is great. The 
people are full of jokes-kidding most of 
the time. It is warming up a little here. It 
never snows but it's cold. The coldest 
about 5 degrees C, the warmest 18 degrees 
C. Yet, the summer is supposed to reach 
a maximum of 45-50 degrees C-HOT! I 
go on in faith and confidence knowing 
God's people are supporting me in prayer 
and more importantly God Himself sus-
tains me.

AIDS: Views of 
a Student Nurse 
by Sandy Bentz, S.N. 
TH e letters AIDS, which stand for 
acquired immuno deficiency syndrome, 
have become a household word in our 
society today. The much feared virus is 
on the rise, statistics show. 
Consequently, this has had an impact 
on health care professionals because of 
their frequent contact with the general 
public. 
As a student nurse, I was taught the 
facts about the HIV virus and prepared to 
protect myself against possible transmis-
sion. For example, we are instructed to 
wear gloves, mask, gown and eye protec-
tion if there is danger of coming in con-
tact with blood or body fluids. But when 
there is no danger of this, no protection is 
needed. We are told the virus cannot be 
transmitted by casual contact. 
While discontinuing and IV in a pa-
tient's arm this summer, I was accidently 
splashed with blood in the face. Since 
there was concern that it may have got in 
my eye, I had to go through the hospital's 
procedure for such incidents. I was fright-
ened, of course, because there is also a risk 
of contacting hepatitis. But my eye was 
flushed and the patients chart reviewed, 
and I was assured there was minimal need 
by Marilyn McArthur 
Through recorded history certain dis-
eases have been associated with dread and 
panic: leprosy, plague, polio, cancer, and 
syphilis. There are distinct similarities 
between public reaction to venereal dis-
ease in the early 1900s and reaction to 
AIDS today: the pervasive fear of conta-
gion; concerns about casual transmission; 
stigmatization of infected persons; and 
conflicts between protecting public health 
and ensuring civil liberties. 
AIDS and the fear which some have 
termed "afrAIDS" (acute fear regarding 
AIDS) touch upon the deepest feelings of 
all of us-feelings about security, moral-
ity, death, and disfigurement. 
Health 
care providers are challenged with an 
unusual opportunity to serve by present-
ing a united rational perspective to their 
patients and to the public. The fear is 
largely due to ignorance regarding the 
disease and education must be one of the 
main goals of health care providers. 
There are presently 75,000 Americans 
diagnosed with AIDS and another one to 
one and one half million estimated to be 
infected with the virus. By the year 2000, 
it is projected that 5,000,000 Americans 
will be infected. 
There are basically two methods of 
contracting the disease: sexual contact 
with an infected person and by blood 
transmission through blood transfusions, 
infected needles and mother to fetus. 
Presently fifty-six percent of the AIDS 
victims are homosexual, but the hetero-
sexual population is the fastest growing 
sector acquiring the disease and it is esti-
mated by the year 2000, eighty percent of 
people diagnosed with AIDS will be hetero-
sexual. 
Union College student nurses are 
for concern. 
Although I am concerned about con-
tacting the AIDS virus as we all should be, 
I choose to continue with my pursuit of a 
nursing career. As a health care profes-
sional, I am committed to the optimal 
health and wellness of my patients and to 
the ways in which I can help facilitate that 
educated early in their curriailum how to 
safely, competently and compassionately 
care for the AIDS patients. Body fluid 
precautions are an integral component of 
most nursing courses and upon gradu-
ation I believe the majority would not 
hesitate to care for a patient with AIDS 
because they have acquired the knowl-
edge to care for AIDS patients without 
undue risk. 
Stria guidelines and precautions to 
protea health care providers are aaively 
enforced in most agencies, so the issue of 
human safety vs. ethical obligation to 
care for AIDS patients is becoming less of 
a concern. Nurses and other direa care 
providers generally want to provide good 
care to all patients but sometimes fear gets 
in the way. How much of an impaa 
AIDS has had on individuals choosing a 
non-health care profession is difficult to 
estimate. 
If an individual with AIDS were to 
come to Union College what would the 
reaaion be? There would probably be a 
certain degree of panic, shunning, judge-
ment and stigma direaed toward that 
person. Hopefully there would also be a 
large segment who would reaa in the 
same wayjesus did to the lepers and other 
social outcasts of His time. 
Two pervasive attitudes exist in the 
Christian community toward AIDS vic-
tims-one of condemnation and the other 
of compassion. As nurses we have been 
called to the ministry of healing-to make 
man whole. AIDS puts us to the test. We 
are to funaion as advocates; to speak for 
those who can't speak, to advocate hu-
mane policies, to aa as moral guides and 
to care competently for those affliaed. 
As one so bravely said "Here I stand, God 
help me. I can not do otherwise," let us 
do also. 
A 
wellness. 
We are all here on this earth for but a 
short time, and I believe our Lord desires 
that we use our talents to help one an-
other. I would encourage you to get the 
faas about AIDS. How tragic it would be 
to cry "Unclean! Unclean!" needlessly.

Anyone who 
wanted to go to the bathroom at night 
had to feel his way down the hall, for 
there was no such thing as a flash light. It 
was not until about 1920 that all-night 
lights were installed in the bathrooms....

Reading Ahead 
by Kelly V. Schmitt 
During vacation, rather than apply-
ingmyself to Microeconomics (sorry,Dr. 
Gibson) or to Principles of Accounting 
(apologies to you, Mr. Barker), I spent my 
evenings reading a one-volume collection 
of five of Agatha Christie's novels. Not 
really a bad way to spend a vacation, 
tucked in my bed with a fascinating book 
in hand, a cup of tea and a plate of hot 
buttered toast by my side, and Harry 
Connick, Jr.'s We Are in Love CD in the 
stereo. My great-grandfather emigrated 
from Great Britain in the early part of this 
century, and any British tendencies that I 
have, like tea-drinking, I inherited di-
rectly from him. 
This break wasn't the first time I had 
read these novels. About two years ago I 
plowed through about 60 of Christie's 
books in rapid succession. 
The style 
more than the solutions remained in my 
memory, thereby necessitatingthe reread-
ing of her riveting books. 
You might know how frustrating it is 
to read a book for the second time and to 
have no recollection of the final solution. 
I must explain that I have never before in 
continued on next column 
my life read the end of a book before 
reading the beginning first. Such a thing 
goes against all my reading principles. 
The Secret Adversary was my Waterloo. 
Curiosity overwhelmed me as I read the 
first few chapters, and I rationalized that 
since I had already read the book there 
would be no harm in reading the last 
chapter to find out who Mr. Brown was. 
So I discovered the public identity of Mr. 
Brown, and read the rest of the book in 
peace, feeling a little shamed that my 
reading principles were lower than be-
fore, but aware that my self-respect re-
mained intact. 
Those of you who frequently read the 
end of a book before reading the begin-
ning are probably aware of the queer 
sense of omniscience that one feels when 
reading. Whereas before I had read like 
an uninitiated reader, now I saw the book 
through the eyes of Christie. Previously 
I had no clue as to how she arrived at her 
solution, but now I was well able to 
observe her method and her reasoning. 
Sometimes I would like to throw all of 
my principles aside and take a long look 
into my future. If all goes well, freshmen 
pre-med students know where they will 
be in ten years-still in school. But if all 
goes well, I have no idea where I will be in 
ten years. Some days I tell myself that I 
prefer life as it is-the uncertainty gives 
one a thrill or a high. Generally, how-
ever, reality creeps in and forces me to 
face the fact that I have no idea what is 
going to happen to me. I don't even have 
the option of skipping ahead to find out 
the ending. 
And so I am continually reminded that 
God is present in the future, even as He 
exists in my present. The other day I 
received a letter from a friend of mine 
who had decided to go through with a 
business deal if the seller would come 
down $2,000 on the price. She told the 
seller that the price was too high, but did 
not state a specific offer, and the proposal 
was preemptively refused. She took the 
answer as a sign that God did not want 
her to own this business, and was there-
fore pleasantly surprised the following 
day when the seller called back with an 
offer that was $4,000 less than the price 
she had previously quoted. In the same 
letter my friend reminded me not to worry 
about the future, because God would take

Conference chairperson Michael Nor-

people with AIDS. Norton also said that 
the conference provided important infor-

positive. "The people who came loved 
it," he added. 
"And we now have a

daily realize that behind the scenes God is 
working in my future. 
Occasionally 
I 
catch a glimpse of how He works, and 
why He does what He does, but essen-

concept, my fears vanish like dew before 
the morning sun. The book is only half-
written, and each twist in the plot, each 
character addition, and each lesson learned 
makes the experience of life richer than 
ever. Only God, the Author of my book, 
knows the end, and in that knowledge I 
can be content.

The Clocktower - 7 
Vaseline and 
Peppermint Patties 
This letter was taken from the Campus Chronical, Pacific 
Union College's campus newspaper. 
Dear Editor, 
I am writing to you in a herculean effort to establish my 
position on an issue that has been grossly unrecognized for 
far too long. I feel that the best way to address this issue 
would be thus: 
As I make my way towards my room, I can feel my feet 
aching in stern competition with my head after an endless 
day of late bookwork and psychotic customers. As I near 
my room, my spine tingles with a feeling akin to chewing 
on a York peppermint pattie. I now stand before the door 
with rapture upon my facial features. My arm extended, my 
fingers blooming, I grasp the doorknob for egress to a 
paradise of rest. Suddenly my face is contorted, my hand 
withdraws with a feeling so vile and foul that my very being 
screams with rage and bile. VASELINE ON MY DOOR-
KNOB! 
I am suddenly thrown into a violent frenzy. My books 
are thrown asunder, my hair askew, and with a complete 
lack of respect, I run rampant, drooling, and upset toward 
the fountain to scream out my frustrations. 
Needless to say, the act of putting slime on doorknobs 
upsets me entirely. I would ask that you convey this 
message to those responsible: "I'm telling your parents." 
With tainted dignity, 
Jane Dough 
Don't Quit 
Wh en things go wrong as they some-
times will, 
When the road you're trudging seems 
all uphill, 
When the funds are low and the debts 
are high, 
And you want to smile, but you have to 
sigh, 
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit. 
Success is failure turned inside out, 
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, 
And you never can tell how close you 
are, 
It may be near when it seems afar, 
So, stick to the fight when you're hard-
est hit-
It's when things go wrong that you 
mustn't quit.
