ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) was one of the private charitable or ganizations to receive the appeal in behalf of five million children. In addition to clothing, ADRA officials are calling for money to buy food for the children, who are starving as well as going unclothed. In fact, the Secretary General says these children will be handicapped permanently because of malnutrition. ADRA, in an experimental project, is asking Northern California and Michigan conferences to respond to this particular appeal. However, all wishing to clean out closets and dressers may know their gifts will be appreciated. You may even wish to make the need known locally in Yourtown for others who may be moved to help children and infants in Africa. Routing, as usual, should be through your Community Services Center.

The school faculty is almost entirely composed of Adventist student missionaries, special service volunteers, and retired persons in Sustentee Overseas Service. Because $24,500 was needed to pay expenses of the trip, the venture was a faith project financed by generous and unexpected contributors. Construction funds came from the 13th Sabbath overflow offering taken by the world Church in September 1983. Prior to the trip, the students were oriented to the culture of the South Sea islanders. They also attended a seminar on building construction to learn about some of the actual tasks, such as mixing cement and laying brick.

The teacher really helps us,” commented a student enrolled in Loma Linda Academy’s Learning Advancement Program (LAP). One of the teachers involved said, “I enjoy working with the students and seeing their progress. It’s exciting to see them ‘making it’ and to see the pride in what they are doing.’’ One of the school administrators observed, “Student reaction is good. They appear relieved of school pressure, less frustrated and more excited about learning. The students are demonstrating academic growth, their attitude and test results have improved, and their regular classroom performance is more accordant with their level.” Twenty full-time students ranging from elementary through academy have been in LAP this year. Parents have expressed their gratitude that the problems of exceptionality are being identified and that trained professionals are helping their children overcome learning difficulties. These and perceptual problems occur throughout the student body at all levels, K-12. The target group is about 2-3 percent of any school population. Based on the premise that special education is a right and that appropriate education should be made available to all students, the Guidance Department at Loma Linda Academy, in conjunction with the Office of Education of the Southeastern California Conference and the School of Education at Loma Linda University, established a model program for exceptional children in January 1983. “It is time to change the traditional view that Adventist schools do not have the expertise, the time or the money to implement such a program,” stated one of its founders. Students who can benefit from Students find it fun to study in the Learning Advancement Program. Conference Committee Actions The Conference Executive Committee voted to add Elder ALVARO AZEVEDO to the Educational Board and Elder LOUIS VENDEN to the Personnel Committee.

Pastor SAUL BARCELO will serve part time as a Taskforce pastor of the Costa Mesa Spanish Company. Elder SAUL VISSER will transfer in a few months to be an associate pastor of the La Sierra Spanish Church. LEON HULSE, of the Potomac Conference, has accepted the call to be administrator of the Loma Linda University Church.

Extensive professional testing is done with parental consent to identify the extent of the exceptionality and to outline an Individualized Educational Plan which can enhance the student’s learning potential. Extensive evaluation is conducted continually to determine progress and future goals. The school administration, the Board of Directors, the Education Department of the Southeastern California Conference and the constituent churches are all giving strong moral and financial support to the program, which has proven itself very worthwhile during its first year of operation. “We are thrilled and excited about this breakthrough in the Adventist educational system, and plans are under way to continue its implementation,” reports Ralph Cline, who directs the LAP program. 2 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / APRIL 16,1984 Filipino Camp Meeting Slated for May Filipino Adventists and friends in Northern and Central California conferences will convene for the fifth Annual Camp Meeting to be held May 25-28 (Memorial Day weekend) at Leoni Meadows, located east of Placerville and nestled in the mountains of Grizzly Flats—a lovely place with peaceful surroundings. It is a perfect place to commune with God before the beauty of His creation. Invited guests to this occasion are Royce C. Williams of It Is Written telecasts; Alberta Mazat from Loma Linda University, department of marriage and family therapy; and George Atiga, Asian /South Pacific ministries director of Pacific Union Conference. Most of the Filipino brethren remember Elder Williams, who spent many years of mission service in the Philippines as ministerial secretary of North Philippine Union Mission and also as speaker of the Voice of Prophecy there. Then he went on to serve in the Far Eastern Division as ministerial secretary. Professor Mazat will conduct a seminar on her field of expertise. She has written several books and numerous articles regarding the very important subject of marriage and family. It will be a thrilling experience to listen to and be counseled through her presentation, and it will greatly enhance the family relationship in a Christian context. Elder Atiga, prior to his current post, was pastor of Central Filipino Church in Los Angeles. Plan now to attend this camp meeting.

West Point Meets in New Church Nearly 150 people crowded into the new West Point church for an Open House Sabbath, February 4. One-third of these were visitors from the community. Progress of the church building and ongoing community outreach programs were shared monthly through the church paper, the “Blue Mountain Views,” put together and edited by Joyce Coombs, church treasurer of West Point. “We decided that this church should be a part of the community and that people should know what is going on; so we mail to everyone in town. People really look forward to the paper now,” states Mrs. Coombs. Many hours of labor have seen this project through to completion. Rex and Vern Shepherd, local builders and church members, responded to the need for leadership in implementing the building plans. “Their giving long hours on the project month after month, while carrying on full-time jobs on other construction sites, certainly has made the church a reality,” writes Ron Nicholson in “A Miracle Come True,” presented at the Open House. What remains to be done is the sharing of this facility with the NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ANNUAL CONSTITUENCY SESSION Notice is hereby given that the Annual Session of the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists is called to convene at the Rio Lindo Adventist Academy Chapel in Healdsburg, California, on Sunday, May 6, 1984, at 10 a.m. The purpose of this meeting is to receive from the officers and departmental directors of the Conference various reports pertaining to the work carried on within the territory since the last Conference Session, to pass recommendations and resolutions, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the delegates in session.

The objective was to involve the teen-agers in an active learning experience that would give them a feeling for the values and needs of others as well as promoting a sense of their own dignity and worth. “The entire focus of this adventure,” says Mr. Wilcox, “was to unite this group into a solid unit of young Christians capable of action. This course was community.

Though working a territory some considered too small, Frank Cometa accepted the challenge. He divided the overall amount into a goal for each month then one for each week, praying that a miracle would be worked to help him reach the people but above all that God’s name might be glorified.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / APRIL 16,1984 7 Students Help on Pacific Mission ■ (Continued from page 1) students met various academic requirements by keeping journals, studying weather, flora and fauna, and marine biology. Students are currently giving follow-up reports to churches, schools and other organizations as a way of continuing the education they received during their three-week mission service. A CHECK FOR $125,000 PASSED FROM PRESIDENT V. NORSKOV OLSEN, Ph.D., D.Th., to R. Dale McCune, Ed.D., La Sierra campus provost. The check came from the University Councillors, a group of businessmen and women who give the University input on critical issues. The check brought the total contribution from the group to $185,000, a little over half of the group’s goal. The funds went to the dedication of the largest amphitheater in the one-year-old E. E. Cossen-tine Hall, named after the past president of La Sierra College and treasurer of the Councillors since the group’s inception. Some of those in the photograph are: W. J. Blacker, vice president for financial administration, President Olsen, Wiliam Will, Merrit Horning, M.D., Samuel Fritz, M.D., Tom Zapara, Provost McCune, Joseph Yamamoto, D.D.S., Charles Rosvall, Mac McAnally, Dale Fisher. Rodney Muraviov earned his keep sifting the coarse coral sand for the mortar mix to be used in the new Marshall Islands Mission Built only 30 feet from the ocean at high tide, the two-story classroom/ Academy, administration building is 45 by 90 feet. Because an occasional wave has been known to reach back that far, the volunteers filled the voids of the blocks with cement to a height of four feet for reinforcement. Floyd Smith, retired minister from Pleasant Hill, Oregon, was chief mason. News Notes | SUMMER IS COMING, but why not put that time to use? Every year LLU La Sierra operates a large summer-school program. For a list of the course offerings available, write to Admissions and Recruitment, Loma Linda University, Riverside, CA 92515. THE FOURTH LARGEST DEPARTMENT in the College of Arts and Sciences attained the position through developing a major in health science, according to Walter Hamerslough, chairman of the health, physical education and recreation department. The health science major originally developed as a degree for those intending to enter graduate education in public health, said Dr. Hamerslough; but students interested in pre-professional programs such as dentistry, medicine, and the allied health professions started enrolling in it because they saw it as good career preparation. This year the major has undergone more changes, including the addition of an option in health education and a route to the Adventist teaching credential in health science. For information write the department at Loma Linda University, Riverside, CA 92515. FOR THE FOURTH SUMMER SENIOR ADULTS from across the country will attend Elderhostel, a one-week low-cost program of non-credit education for those 60 years of age or older. The course offerings include Contemporary Africa, Sexuality for Older Adults, Creative Writing, Speed Reading, Rights in Conflict: Current Issues in Law and Society, Consumer Protection, Childhood Revisited, Existential Literature, Human Nutrition, and Humor in American Literature: Benjamin Franklin to Woody Allen. The week-long sessions will run June 24-30, July 8-14 and July 15-21. For more information, write to Student Affairs, Loma Linda University, Riverside, CA 92515. THE ANNUAL ALUMNI SPRING RETREAT, May 25 to 27, will feature Thomas Blincoe, Ph.D., a former professor at LLU La Sierra and former dean of the Adventist Theological Seminary. Virginia Richards Cason, an alumna, will speak for the devotionals. Jeff Kaatz, an alumnus and a member of the music faculty, is coordinating the music for the event.

A SELECT GROUP OF LOCAL DIGNITARIES attended the March 1 groundbreaking for LLU La Sierra’s new business center, a complex which will add 18,000 square feet to the existing La Sierra Market and a separate building for the Soupstone, a vegetarian restaurant. The center will allow for expansion of the University bookstore and bring in local business. According to University administration, the center will aid the campus’s ability to continue offering jobs to students. Each year the campus hires about 1,000 students, spending nearly $2 million on student wages. THE UNIVERSITY SINGERS, a mixed chorus of 40 members, performed in Hawaii March 20-28. The group performed at Hawaiian Mission Academy, Kaneohe Adventist church, the Japanese Adventist church, and the Central Adventist church. About 20 friends and relatives accompanied the group bringing the total entourage to about 60, according to Don Thurber, music department chairman and choir director. The group took along guitarist Steve Mitchell, flautist Brenda Porco, and Lori Rapique, pianist. Situated at the end of a runway used during World War II, the school is built on land leased from the first Adventist on the island. No land is ever for sale on Majuro but is passed from one generation to the next. Each student earned $200 of his or her own airfare and then was subsidized by members of the 22 constituent churches. Adult volunteers were primarily from Alhambra, East Los Angeles, and the German churches. Arriving home on March 11, the students were back in school the next day—though all the girls were ready to return to Majuro! UI * The Adventist Association of Certified Public Accountants (AACPA) held its annual national meeting on the campus of Southwestern Adventist College during the fall. Two professional development seminars were held—one on the new government regulations affecting hospitals, and one on the use and selection of mini and micro computers in today’s office environment. * Administrators from all 15 Adventist Health System-West healthcare centers met recently for a day-long seminar in Sacramento. Milton Murray, “dean’’ of Adventist fund-raisers, was the primary speaker. * The Heritage Singers were asked to sing the National Anthem before the opening of the California Angels baseball game in Anaheim on Sunday, April 8. * Pacific Press has broken ground for the third time in its 110-year history—this time on a 40-acre site at Nampa, Idaho. The Coming in the “Adventist Review” How does a childless couple’s life change when they adopt a child? What kind of struggles does a young woman go through in deciding to give up a child for adoption? What services are available in the Adventist Church to assist in the adoption process? The May 24 issue of the Adventist Review features an in-depth interview with Fern Ringering, director of the North American-based Adventist Adoption and Family Service. Also included are first-person accounts from a woman who gave up a baby and from one who adopted a baby.
