© Copyright 1980 Ambassador College SIR. escort gal oD RIES AONE OY 10 11 12 =i os eevee: Pa 4 13 14 15 Grlroduclion Thirty-three years ago Ambassador College began in a miraculous fashion. With four students, eight faculty members and very little money, an institution was created that would chart a new course in higher education, a course that would set education ‘‘back on the track” in areas where it had gone off. As the founder and chancellor wrote some years later: ‘‘Ambassador College is a miracle. When | look back over those first two and a half turbulent and seemingly impassable years, realizing this college was starting without any financial capital, and with nothing but implicit faith and sheer determination, the present active campus seems a dream. It is a dream come true.” As stated in the college motto, Ambassador, since its beginning, has taught students to ‘‘Recapture True Values’ as opposed to conforming to the false ways of a materialistic world. Ambassador teaches students to give rather than get, and to live by every word of God. Recognizing that God’s Word is the foundation of all knowledge, Ambassador’s method of total education is unique. Students are taught not only how to earn a living, but more importantly, how to live. Visitors to the campus often remark that while the campus is most beautiful, the friendly, sterling character of the students themselves is even more beautiful! Students here exude happiness and real purpose. As Ambassador enters the decade of the ‘80s, the miracle continues. And we’re happy to share it with you through the pages of the 1980 Envoy. 17 Herbert W. Armstrong Founder and Chancellor of Ambassador College Founder's Statement Today we live in adifferent world. Frightening changes have occurred. In the brief span of a lifetime, the.world has passed with accelerating speed through the age of invention, the machine age, the age of science and technology, the nuclear age and now, the space age. em oe ae Cm, vou, And Witih.these developments hasmergedsanew age in educatiopiaSGiepcepy — parma industry and modern education have concentrated on developing the machine while degenerating the man.., Curricula, generally, have become wholly materialistic, putting the emphasis on the purely technical and intellectual, af: sacrifice of spiritual, moral and ereuiturat development; on curriculum rather than character; on earning a living, — at the neglect of learning how to live! The Ambassador policy is based upon the recognition that true education is not of the intellect alone, but of the whole personality — not alone of technologies, eciences and darts, but an understanding of the purpose of life, a knowledge of the spiritual laws whith govern our lives, our Godérelations ip and human relationships. Ambassador College knows and teaches the purpose and true meaning of life — the true values that pay off — and the way t@ pace, happiness and abundant OLED. siti, gens ae il well-bétrg How do we know+We have it‘on authority.

Property for the site was acquired in 1956 along with the Hulett C. Merritt mansion (now Ambassador Hall). Construction of the Academic Center didn’t begin, however, until 1967, when the Fine Arts Hall and the Science Hall were added to accommodate the classroom and office needs of a growing college. The academic complex accommodates most of the classes taught at Ambassador, in addition to providing offices for the Music Department, Career Services Center, College Publications (including the Ambassador Portfolio, the student-produced newspaper, and The Envoy), and the Home Economics Department. The facilities are also used for non-college related functions, such as the filming of television commercials and movies. The Recital Hall is host to Southern California’s Spanish-speaking church on a weekly basis. The photograph at right shows how the property appeared when purchased. Ya ARN MASAO IARI AES Piper Sanath tentang Ambassador Hall stands at the apex of the fine acquisitions God has allowed Ambassador College to acquire since its founding. Formerly known as ‘Villa Merritt Olivier’ and located on Pasadena’s famous ‘‘millionaire row,’’ the property was the home of the late Hulett C. Merritt, a wealthy industrialist who at one time was the largest stockholder in the United States Steel Corporation. Mr. Merritt died in 1956 leaving no heirs. The mansion and grounds were then offered for sale at public auction. Herbert W. Armstrong obtained the property that year for about one-tenth its original value (which, in 1908, was over one million dollars). The property was renovated, retaining all of the fine-quality materials used in its construction, and now contains classrooms, study areas, a student recreational area, an indoor swimming pool and office space. Ambassador’s Home Economics Department maintains an ultra-m odern kitchen and homemaking facility in the mansion. The grand entrance of Ambassador Hall is shown above. 27 CO te Li CLG ‘‘Ambassador College is a miracle. When | look back over those first two and a half turbulent and seemingly impassable years 1947-1949, the present active campus seems a dream. It is a dream come true.”’ — Herbert W. Armstrong, 1952 28 Ambassador's two main classroom buildings are the Science Hall and the Fine Arts Hall (pictured). Both are of classic modern architecture with classrooms specifically designed to retain sounds made within, thereby minimizing the disturbance of other classes. The Science Hall features two multi-purpose lecture facilities downstairs, with a combined seating capacity of 350. Upstairs are six standard classrooms and laboratory areas. The Fine Arts building contains a 266-seat Recital Hall, classrooms, practice rooms and several faculty offices. The two buildings are part of the Loma D. Armstrong Academic Center, built in 1967. Roe wich aes bene, Waespeinos Ss Ae gh my 30 Mayfair (above) was the second property acquired by the college. Purchased in 1949, it has served as a men’s dormitory, a student center with dining facilities and a student activities building. The Mayfair basement served for many years as the editorial offices of the Plain Truth. The beautiful twenty-room Tudor-style mansion is now a residence for women students. Terrace Villa (left), another women’s residence, was obtained in 1958 and remodeled extensively in 1963. Unique Mediterranian architecture makes it one of the most beautiful residences on campus. | | | | { { f i 31 3 “The schools of this world do not know, and cannot teach, what is the PURPOSE of life, what man really is, the WAY of life that produces happiness, joy, health, peace, prosperity. At Ambassador College, the revealed knowledge of God forms the basis of all disseminated knowledge, not only in the Bible and theological courses, but in all courses.”’ — HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG, 1956 Ambassador's Library building and its surrounding 2% acres, purchased in 1947, was the first property obtained by Ambassador College. In the early years, the facility housed the radio studio, classrooms, the college library and administrative offices. For the first two years, 1947-1949, the library building was “the college.” The property — known as the Fowler Estate — was purchased after Mr. Armstrong had searched Pasadena for a place to found the college. When he was first shown the estate, he saw that it was more institutional than residential in design, and felt that it would function well as a college facility. The Library Annex, pictured above, was part of the Fowler Estate. Originally a stable, it later became a four-car garage with servants’ quarters upstairs. When the college purchased it, the upstairs rooms were converted into offices for the Work. Later, a part of this structure was used as the printing shop. For many years this edifice was our Administration Building. 33 34 . Grove Villa West (390), pictured above, was once an exclusive apartment complex that was considered one of Pasadena’s finest — complete with servants’ quarters. Ambassador acquired Grove Villa in 1962 and converted the apartments into dormitories two years later. Grove Villa East (380) and Grove Manor (360), adjoining properties, are of similar construction and serve the same purpose. Shortly after Hulett C. Merritt constructed his mansion (now Ambassador Hall) in the early 1900s, he built a beautiful home for his father on Del Mar Street, just east of Orange Grove. Today the building serves as a men’s dormitory, known as Manor Del Mar (right). “This end-time Work of God started the smallest any work could start. But like the proverbial mustard seed, it grew and grew. Its real orga- nized beginning came when Ambassador College opened its doors — October 8, 1947. — Herbert W. Armstrong, 1963 Kove CKKEACE rove Terrace is the largest men’s dormitory, and the only building constructed by the college specifically as a student residence. The building consists of an East and West wing and houses 144 students. Construction was completed in 1968. G.T., as it is referred to, features a third floor lounge, enclosed in glass, which offers a beautiful view of Pasadena and the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. An outside patio area off the lounge allows Students to enjoy the climate as well as the view. Inside, on the ground floor, a fully-equipped weight room is available for those interested in toning and conditioning their muscles. The photograph at left shows two buildings that were raze d to make room for Grove Terrace. i 4 i i ; g E 37 Ambassador’s Physical Education Complex offers students, faculty, college and church personnel the opportunity to engage in a number of recreational pursuits in beautiful facilities. The complex consists of the gymnasium and the accompanying natatorium, as well as a 4-court handball and racquetball facility which also houses the Ambassador Health Club. The complex was begun in 1963 when Ambassador's own carpentry crew built the handball racquetball facility. Inside the two-story structure, in addition to the courts, are two locker rooms, a well-equipped weight-training area, and several Recreation Department and Physical Education Department offices. In 1964, the main addition to the complex was completed — ob the Natatorium and the College Gymnasium (above). The Natatorium (at left) is a completely enclosed swimming and diving area, featuring an official Olympic-size swimming pool with six well-marked lanes for competition. The gymnasium has a main playing court with four smaller side courts, and is useful for basketball, badminton, volleyball, tumbling and other indoor athletic functions. In addition to its use by college and church personnel, the complex is also used by internationally known, world-class athletes. Several top Olympic stars regularly train here, and teams from many parts of the world have used the facilities while in Southern California. The Ambassador track, pictured on the following two pages, has been called the finest jumping facility in the nation. 39 40 m BS a 6 The Ambassador College athletic field is one of the busiest areas on campus. A 1 6-mile circular track, with a surface material made from an extremely durable rubber derivative, is used 6 days per week — almost year round — for track competition, team training and individual conditioning. The track surrounds a playing field of artificial turf which provides a smooth surface for various team sports, including football, softball, and soccer. One of the most unusual aspects of the facility is its location — the roof of a 300-car subterranian parking structure. The picture at right shows the tennis courts that were removed to make room for the parking structure and athletic field. 4 % ORR Sie BE EE REN 0a = a CER Bein, Rae, CRA? ue x 4 x My. inte Ra he Sta Eten rh 7 eather nth 4A eK rasan drag ak Seyi, MAE z 3 ‘ E 3 PR tte a epi iment mest, Pa 42 ai “This college ... is not like other colleges. The way of life here is dif- ferent. And it’s going to stay differ- ent. There is no college on earth like this college.’’ — Herbert W. Armstrong, 1978 Ambassador's Student Center was completed in 1966 to relieve the stress of mounting student traffic through Mayfair, which served for sixteen years as the college’s dining facility and social center. With an enrollment at the time nearing 500, the building could no longer accommodate the student body. Probably the most frequented building on campus, the Student Center is located just south of the Auditorium. It contains a dining area which seats 550, the college bookstore, club rooms for Ambassador and Women’s Clubs, four student lounges, a faculty lounge and dining room (above), a barber and beauty shop and the student mailbox area. The facility is not only enjoyed by college personnel, but many local civic and social groups experience the fine food and beautiful atmosphere of the Student Center during lucheon meetings on the campus. Thousands of others, who visit the campus throughout the year, often dine there. 43 | | i | Peery Oe ag mB ce o_o ie ma coe Rae , 1 oe | i al | | i i Wek UU | a) See: £ meni | wll (one LL | | i | aF . -4 f= mn ee | ee at Fi if 4 : ‘ p (Cee STE eee eee i i ese E = Ontbassador’s Hall of The Hall of Administration is a four-story office complex which houses the executive offices of the Worldwide Church of God, Ambassador International Cultural Foundation and Ambassador College. Its award-winning architectural design and efficient space allocation serves as an inspiration to the men and women who work there. The building was dedicated by Herbert Armstrong on May 15, 1969. The Ambassador Auditorium ‘dedicated to the honor and glory of the Great God,” is the capstone to Ambassador’s master building plan. Surrounded by a half-acre reflecting pool and supported by 26 exterior columns that stand 72 feet high, the Auditorium is one of the premier cultural centers in America. It has been seen by thousands of visitors to the Pasadena campus and by millions of viewers on many national television specials. Besides hosting some of the world’s greatest musical and theatrical performers for the Southern California community, the Auditorium regularly serves the educational and spiritual needs of Ambassador College, the Worldwide Church of God and the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation. Faculty and students hold the weekly Forums and Assemblies there during the school year, and brethren in Pasadena and surrounding areas attend weekly Bible studies and Church services in ‘‘God’s House.”’ More about the Auditorium follows on the next three pages. 45 46 Ln, SM ple: Cyprian The Grand Lobby of the Auditorium offers a glimpse of the exquisite beauty found throughout the facility. The 3-tiered chandelier which hangs there contains 1390 pieces of crystal. The seamless carpet below, custom made in Hong Kong, depicts the prism reflection from the chandelier. An inscription, prominently displayed on one of the largest installations of rose onyx in the world, reads: ‘Made possible by gifts from the Worldwide Church of God. Dedicated to the honor and glory of the Great God.” 47 The finest materials available to man went into the construction of the Auditorium. Inside, plush velour seats and rich, wool carpeting are accented by fine woods and a beautiful bronze-barred acoustical ceiling. The underside of the stairways (pictured) and 27 acoustical ‘‘clouds’’ are covered with 24-karat gold leaf. The top photo shows the main seating area of the Auditorium. 48 = oll ims Annee ae DAVID J.

The clubs give students an opportunity to develop their speaking ability in a friendly, formal atmosphere and to exercise skills learned in the classroom. Club members learn to think on their feet and to prepare interesting and challenging speeches on a variety of topics. Successive generations of Ambassador graduates have found that Ambassador Club training was one of the most valuable tools in preparing them for important jobs in this work and in business and industry. 147 AMBASSADOR — : AUDITORIUM : MADE POSSIBLE BY GIFTS F ss ree wor i EDICATED TO TE Neal aeecetton Clubs sass Left to Right, Front Row: Mr. Ron Wroblewski — Director, David Fergen, Randy Boe, Phillip Sandilands, Eric Warren — Sargent at Arms, Robert Taylor, Steven Falk.

Armstrong, has been fulfilling this prophecy with ever-increasing vigor as the time of Christ’s intervention in world affairs draws near. Mr. Armstrong has visited many countries as an Ambassador without portfolio for world peace. He has talked with dozens of world leaders — kings, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, and many other officials high in government all over the world. Many have come to respect Mr. Armstrong’s unique insight into world conditions. For a decade, Mr. Armstrong has traveled the world with ‘‘this gospel of the kingdom,” explaining to leaders everywhere the real purpose of life and the meaning behind the Creator’s Great Master Plan. In December 1979, Mr. Armstrong made his most momentous trip — to the People’s Republic of China. He took to the rulers of the world’s most populous nation the real gospel message of Christ, in a manner they could understand. And as he begins another decade of worldwide travel, God continues to open doors for the proclaiming of that message to the great nations and leaders of our time. Focus on a Worldwide Work 177 Republic of China During the first week of December 1979, Herbert W. Armstrong, Chancellor of Ambassador College and Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God, became the first church leader from the Western world to receive an invitation to visit top officials inside the People’s Republic of China. Mr. Armstrong spent five days in Peking (Beijing), the Chinese capital, meeting with leaders of government. ‘Speaking to leaders here in Peking is speaking to leaders of one-fourth of all the people on earth today — one billion people,’’ said Mr. Armstrong. While in China, Mr. Armstrong addressed hundreds of education officials and 76 representatives of other nations (the latter were addressed in the Great Hall, pictured extreme right). The most important meeting of the trip was a one-hour talk with Tan Zhen-lin, Vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. Mr. Armstrong said he offered Mr. Tan a prophecy’s-eye view of the coming United Europe, which will touch off the final holocaust of this age on earth and usher in the Kingdom of God. After returning from China, he said it was probably his most significant and successful trip to date. At right, Mr. Armstrong, accompanied by interpreter, speaks to government officials.

The volume of mail processed through Australia’s main office in Burleigh Heads, Queensland, was up 50 percent over the previous year. The office had mailed out some 2 million pieces of literature during 1979. Church attendance increased 10 percent in 1979, and the addition of several new churches brought the total number of congregations in Australia up to 60. In December 1979, more mail was processed than in any previous month in the history of the Australian branch of the Work (23,788 letters were received). In March 1980, the Australian Plain Truth mailing list passed the 87,000 mark — their highest circulation ever — and the February Church attendance of 5066 set an all-time record for Australia.

In 1979 mail income rose 24 percent over the previous year and church attendance was up 15.4 percent in Britain. Scandinavian church attendance increased 34.7 percent and that in East West Africa rose 26.3 percent (both these areas are administered from the British office). January 1980, income for Britain was up 39 percent over the previous year and church attendance was up 16 percent. In March 1980, income was still showing a 35 percent increase over last year. And perhaps the most inspiring and encouraging news is that these increases came on top of a 15 percent inflation rate in the U.K. God is blessing His work in the United Kingdom, despite economic pressure.

Total overall income for 1979 was up 14 percent; and on December 31st, The World Tomorrow was broadcast for the first time on the CKO all-news radio network with the regularly : scheduled time slot of 8 pm. 1980 started encouragingly.

February’s incoming mail was up 264.5 : percent over the same period last year and the income rose 26 percent. In the first two months of 1980, the Canadian office received 82,025 ad responses — more than the total of responses over the past three years combined. And every other category of incoming mail showed increases. Plain Truth subscriptions doubled, with the addition of 70,000 new subscribers. The French version of The Plain Truth (La Pure Verite) was close to doubling its circulation in Canada as well.

More letters were received than in any previous month in the history of the Work there. Mail received was 19 percent higher than the previous record set in May 1978. The Work’s income in the Caribbean for 1979 was 31 percent higher than 1978. Church growth was up 10 percent overall. Local Bible studies have increased in attendance as much as 26 percent, and 66 persons in the area were baptized in 1979. Mr. Stan Bass, Regional Director of the Caribbean, reported that during the first quarter of 1980, there was an increase of 13 percent in church attendance over the same period last year. Income is steadily increasing with an incredible February increase of 60 percent over February of last year. In May 1980, there were 873 members listed in the Caribbean region.

For example, income for November and December alone showed a 22 percent and a 25 percent increase respectively. God’s Work in the French language flourishes not only in France but is growing in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, the Caribbean and Africa. In November 1979, for instance, the total number of subscriptions to La Pure Verite was approximatel y 82,000 with magazines going into 134 countries. ‘Le Monde a Venir’ broadcast began in 1960 in Europe and has continued ever since. Today it is heard not only in French-speaking Europe (France, Belgium and Switzerland), but also in: French Canada and the French Caribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti).

At the beginning of 1980, the German Plain Truth subscriber list stood at 35,000. Since then, an average of 100 new subscribers have been added daily. By the end of 1980, an additional 35,000 subscribers will have been added. The German Work is also strong financially with current reserves for several month’s operating expenses. As a result of advertisements in the German Plain Truth (Klar and Wahr) and the German Good News (Gute Nachricht), the office sent out 129 percent more booklets in the first three months of 1980 than were sent in all of 1979. The German Work reaches Germany (both West and East) Austria, Switzerland, and the German-speaking populations behind the ‘Iron Curtain” in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia.

It was one of the best Feasts ever, the office there reported, with a total registered attendance of 318. The first and last holy day offerings showed a 36.5 percent increase over last year. Then in January 1980 mail income went up 52 percent over January 1979 and the overall financial picture showed a 29.6 percent year-to-date increase. In March 1980 the office reported that church attendance in Utrecht and Tilburg was near 200, a 19.5 percent increase over last year. Income continues to show an increase and the situation in The Netherlands seems very positive for the rest of 1980.

As the year moved on, month after month brought income increases topping the 30 percent mark, and church services and Bible studies throughout the nation reported all-time record attendances. December's income totalled 46.5 percent more than the same month last year. Over 65,000 pieces of mail had been received, an increase of 74.4 percent over 1978. As in our other offices, 1980 began with still more increases. Also in the area, the Fiji Plain Truth list had risen to 188 percent more subscribers by October 1979 and by the end of the year had almost tripled the previous year’s total.

There was a massive 33.7 percent increase in attendance at the 1979 Feast of Tabernacles, with a combined offering increase of 21 percent over 1978. The overall financial picture for the Philippines showed a 26 percent increase in 1979, and incoming mail revealed a healthy upward trend over previous years.

The ‘‘best feast ever’’ was the only way to describe God's Feast of Tabernacles in that area as a combined total of 2,250 people attended the five festival sites throughout Southern Africa and Zimbabwe — a 15 percent increase. 300 new people attended. Mail income for most of the year registered a 16.1 percent increase, and the third quarter mail income was over 20 percent above the equivalent months of 1978.

Reports from 1979 showed income from Mexico, and Central and South America up 41 percent over 1978. And as a new year began, statistics were still climbing. For instance, five countries reported large increases in January income compared to a record-breaking January in 1979. Argentina had a 25 percent increase. Columbia had a 54 percent increase. Mexico saw a 133 percent increase and Peru reported a 371 percent increase. Even though soaring inflation continues to erode the currencies of the Latin American countries, the income continues to rise at a surprising rate. There was a 65 percent increase in income in the Spanish Work for March 1980 over March last year. And it looks as though God may bless his Spanish Work even further during 1980, as He is blessing His Work worldwide.

Indeed, there are few countries in the Western world — as well as nations like Japan, China, India, the countries of the Mideast, Africa, and central and eastern Europe — where this Work is not known, and its impact felt. In most of those lands, such names as Herbert W. Armstrong, Ambassador College, The Plain Truth and Quest 80 magazines, the Worldwide Church of God, and the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation (A.I.C.F.) are known — and respected. Why is a comparatively small college and church so well known around the world? During 1979, nearly fifty million (50,000,000!) high-quality magazines, books, booklets, correspondence course lessons, reprint articles, letters, etc. were sent out worldwide! This all adds up to quite an impact on the peoples of this earth. In the U.S. alone, approximately thirty-two million (32,000,000) books, booklets, magazines, etc. were disseminated during 1979. And during the same year, about fifteen million (15,000,000) magazines, books , booklets, etc. were distributed outside the U.S. in the various nations impacted by this mighty Work. And, of the nearly fifty million books, booklets, articles, etc., disseminated, about 98 percent of that number were sent out free of charge — as a public service! 206 Top photograph, facing page: Ray Wright, Director of Publishing with assistants Torin Archer and Toli Bohonik; Below, Roger Lippross, Production Manager.

Each year millions of letters are received and processed by these facilities. During 1979, nearly 10,000,000 letters were mailed to people in the United States. The Data Processing center maintains the worldwide subscription lists for The Plain Truth, The Good News and all other publications. The latest electronic and computerized equipment make it possible for accurate record keeping and instantaneous retrieval of information. A highly-trained and dedicated staff, operating this sophisticated equipment, meets the ever-increasing needs of a growing work.

Impact of Radio and Television From the beginning, even before Ambassador College was founded in 1947, the real impact of this Work was primarily through radio — and later through both radio and TV. In all, well over one hundred million (100,000,000) have listened to or viewed our dynamic radio and or TV programs. During 1979, an estimated twenty-five million (25,000,000) have been reached through the voice of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, speaker on The World Tomorrow. The World Tomorrow radio and television programs (now being heard in English, French and Spanish) continue to have a significant impact on many nations around the world. SS UC — —“—=—CSCS Office of the Treasurer and Accounting As with any church, college or foundation, the Treasurer and the Accounting Department serve in an important way the needs of the Worldwide Church of God, Ambassador College, and the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation (A.1.C.F.). The finances of this worldwide Work are big business — and demand the services of competent and loyal personnel. Fortunately, during the past thirty years, the Work has been able to select and groom a team of highly qualified men to serve in the top posts and in many other important positions. Today, the offices of the Treasurer and Accounting Department are staffed by a group of dedicated personnel who diligently serve the needs of this burgeoning Work — a truly international work!

From the beginning, it has been supported financially by the Worldwide Church of God. The College, in turn, for thirty years has provided a trained ministry, as well as many hundreds of other personnel, to serve in the far-flung offices of this worldwide Work. Ministerial Services in Pasadena, California — under the direct supervision of the Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong — diligently serves the ministerial needs of the church’s globe-girdling activities. ae a — 214 Facing page, left: Mr. Joe Tkach, Director of Ministerial Services.

PANS 216 Each year members of the Worldwide Church of God celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. This is the largest annual convention on earth. Members of the Church gather at over 80 convention centers (some accommodating upwards of 10,000) in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Pacific islands. During this convention, members and supporters of the church convene for eight days of inspiring lectures, fun and fellowship. During this festive eight-day period, World’s Largest Annual Convention the students of Ambassador College provide entertainment at the convention sites. This Festival is, for many, the most scintillating and exciting time of the year! Above, Mr. Armstrong (inset) speaks at the Tucson Convention Center.

Their services have been in great demand since January 3, 1979, when the Attorney General of the State of California, acting on mere heresay, and with no legal justification what- soever, brushed aside the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, and attempted to take over the properties of the Church, the College and the Foundation . Moved to take unwarranted, illegal action by dissident former members of the Church — the office of the Attorney General influenced the Superior Court of Los Angeles to appoint a Re- ceiver to take over the assets and functions of the Church, the College and the Foundation. But swift defensive legal action resulted in the speedy lifting of the receivership. The legal battle continues — and will for some time to come. But those who are a part of this great worldwide Work are confident that their constitutional rights will be upheld. The organization and coordination of the Work’s legal defense rests heavily on the shoulders of this group of alert, dedicated and highly competent personnel. At right, General Counsel Stanley R.

Each year hundreds of youths participate in local and regional competitions. The winners receive scholarships at Ambassador College. Every summer many young people are privileged to attend the Summer Educational Programs held at Orr, Minnesota and in Scotland. 220 Opportunities Clockwise from top: YOU staff members (from left) Mike Greider, Mike Blackwell, Jim Thornhill, director, and Mark Ashland.
