Armstrong envisioned a college unlike any other on the educational frontier. In the following letter, written in 1946, he unveils the dream that was to become Ambassador College. Dear Friend and Co-Worker: have great news for you in regard to the new college. Plans are progressing rapidly. We are now planning on a larger, more thorough basis than I had in mind at first. A thing worth doing is worth doing right. And this is so worth doing, it must be done on the highest, most thorough possible standard. Consequently, it is becoming a bigger undertaking than I really had in mind at first. It is truly a gigantic undertaking — even tho we plan to start it small, with perhaps around 40 students. We are planning for bigger things, and the foundation must be firm, and pure, and | right. It is not yet finally named. But it appears more and more apparent that the name which first came to me, almost as. if God had put it in my mind, is the name that will be adopted. That name is AMBASSADOR COLLEGE. Everyone seems to like it. When I first mentioned the name to Mr. Walter E. Dillon, who. in all probability will be its first president, he said he liked the name — - it had dignity, it was of pleasing sound, etc., but he felt we should select a name that carried a definite meaning. I agreed, and when I explained the meaning, he thought the name very satisfactory. The MEANING of names is important. It is important to God. Few realize the MEANING of the names of God, and the meaning and power in the RRA Cag ESO et ee aR Si Rotens eet te aR hy Na hale eth eae Nos ata eS Te aa in De ke a aed A ee ee RS pe Phe Foss aaa oa s: ‘ y pert iw dd og oe Se eee ie cae Taian Baer ie 0 SER OE ES SoA MRE cee name Jesus Christ. All Hebrew names had MEANING. Well, then, here is the meaning. As most colleges today claim to train students for their part in the world — to become a part OF the world, AMBASSADOR COLLEGE has a diametrically opposite purpose. It is to teach students to come OUT of this world and be separate — to live by every Word of God, instead of the ways and customs of the world — and yet, while not being OF this world, but rather as strangers and foreigners in it we shall train them to be in it purely as AMBASSADORS for CHRIST. We hope, therefore, to train every student to be an AMBASSADOR for Christ and. His coming KINGDOM, which we represent. The name AMBASSADOR, therefore, is in fact the name of every student in the college. Of course the world in general will not see or comprehend the real meaning of the name. But to those of the world, the name carries distinction, ‘beauty and dignity. And there is no college by that name in Southern California. ’'d appreciate it if you’d write “Without exaggeration I can say flatly no college campus in America will be more beautiful.” and tell me what YOU think of the name, “AMBASSADOR COLLEGE.” Already we have received many applications from prospective students, and too, I believe, from prospective faculty members. It is now tentatively planned for Mr. Dillon and I to spend the month of June on the grounds, in Pasadena, making more intensive _ preliminary plans, ordering and installing the new college equipment. All equipment, in keeping with our policy, will be the most modern and efficient obtainable. Then the month of July and first half of August it is planned for Mr. Dillon to be at Columbia University in _ New York, taking the summer session in advanced educational research, making final plans, for curriculum, schedules, etc., under the technical guidance of the Columbia experts. While AMBASSADOR COLLEGE will be utterly different in purpose, in objectives, in its basic concept, etc., yet it will employ the most advanced of established methods of administration, adapting these procedures of educational experience of our basic purposes. And the standards are to be the HIGHEST in every respect. From August 20 until September 20th, Mr. Dillon and I will again be on the grounds in Pasadena, making final preparations for the college to open around September 20th. It is planned now in due time to acquire two adjoining estates, and a beautiful vacant building site across the street. This will give us a total of around six acres of most beautiful grounds. Without exaggeration I can say flatly no college campus in America will be more beautiful, and very few if any as lovely as this that God has provided for His college. If and when we are able to acquire the two adjoining estates, we will have two additional very large reinforced concrete houses, one of 22 rooms, and one of 14, with space to build later two or three class buildings, a gymnasium, and, across the street, a beautiful chapel and church building. I am assured circumstances are such that we shall be able to acquire this additional property. At every step we see God’s hands in this remarkable undertaking.

TKACH aR SS dey ey eis} rt eR datas Ree ae x x 3 4 aie The Chancellor Long before 1947, Herbert W. Armstrong realized that a vital ingredient was lacking from higher education. He often referred to it as “the missing dimension in education.”’ When Mr. Armstrong founded Ambassador College 40 years ago, he envisioned a new concept in college education. Ambassador was to be a unique institution — unique because its educational policy and philosophical approach would be based upon that “missing dimension,” the Word of God. In the modern world, knowledge is increasing at a bewildering pace. Yet this knowledge or education is not eliminating wars. It is not eliminating hate, crime, environmental destruction, unhappy families or failed lives. If anything, the problems that beset mankind seem to be increasing in intensity. Indeed, something is woefully lacking in education. WHY? To put it simply, mankind has thrown away the basic textbook of true education — the Bible. Humanity has “fired” the Administrator of right education — God — and rewritten the curriculum — God’s law — on its own terms. Finally, man has rejected the one Teacher — Jesus — capable of teaching the course of instruction that would educate man in the way of peace, success, and happiness. Dr. Edward Teller, who helped develop the hydrogen bomb, once said: ‘“‘Peace is much more than the absence of war; peace is a way of life.’ Instruction and campus experience at Ambassador is steeped in the way of life, which, based squarely upon the laws of God, leads to true and lasting success and fulfillment, and an understanding of the purpose of life. What is man? Why is man? What is the purpose and meaning of life? God’s revealed knowledge provides answers to these vital fundamental questions that cannot be humanly deduced or reasoned out. When students arrive at Ambassador, they find one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States. But the beautifully landscaped grounds and character of its stately buildings are only the background. The real character and beauty of Ambassador College lie in the observance here of the laws that cause the radiant, joyful smiles, the dependable, diligent work habits, the harmony and cooperation among students and between students, faculty and administration. God’s way of life is being lived here. Students come to learn that way. And they learn by doing it. Ambassador is pioneering a new way of life. It’s a way of give, not get. It’s a way of love, of true outgoing concern for others. And it is the only way that will endure for all eternity. SraphY hack. j i, ree Pe. BeOS up ow RSC BORE re rl cae PB RES MT ae Zé Geroone Why Ambassador olege? n 1947 there were more than 1,000 colleges and universities in the United States. Other great institutions of higher learning — centuries old — flourished around the world. Was there a need for another college? And, if so, why Ambassador College? The answer lies in Ambassador’s unique approach to education, in the very purpose for which Ambas- sador was founded. From its inception, Ambassador’s policy has been based upon the understanding that true education is not of the intellect alone, but of the whole personal- ity. Not of a memorizing of knowledge alone, but a thorough training in self-discipline, self-expression, cultural and character development. While other in- stitutions are good at teaching students how to earn a living, Ambassador excels in teaching students how to live as well. Developing strong, sterling char- acter is at the core of the curriculum. U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett wrote that education today faces a dilemma: “No sooner does someon e point out how impor- tant it is to form character at school than others claim it just can’t be done, that there can be no consensus on what to teach or how to teach it.” But at Ambassador, building character is the Col- lege’s paramount concern. In its 40 years, Ambas- sador has shown that when education is founded on the Word of God, and that book’s wise principles are scrupulously applied, it is possible to form char- acter, and it is clear what to teach and how to teach it. Ambassador’s distinguishing characteristic was aptly explained in an article by founder Herbert W. Armstrong, who served as the College’s chancellor for its first 39 years. “Ambassador College came on the world scene free from the shackles of tradition,” Mr. Armstrong wrote in an early College catalog. ““Ambassador has dared to recapture the true values while retaining all that is sound and...good in educational experience.” In the four-year, liberal arts program students ac- AMBASSADOR COLLEGE was founded in 1947 by Herbert W. Armstrong, an ambassador for world peace. After 40 years Ambassador still adheres to the sound foundation that made it unique, and contin- ues to influence the lives of thousands worldwide. quire a well-rounded, broad, balanced education. Men and women are trained to make a solid contri- bution to their communities and the world in which they live. Further, they learn the true meaning and purpose of life their true destiny and how to achieve it. “The ideal university,” wrote U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, “is a place intended for general intellectual discipline and enlightenment; and not for intellectual discipline and enlightenment only, but also for moral and spiritual discipline and enlighten- ment.” Ambassador strives to develop in every student the qualities of keen intellect, dy- namic personality, vigorous health and, above all, true character. RS aS OE CET GOS | SE Ambassador strives to develop in every student the qualities of keen intellect, dynamic personality, vigorous health and, above all, true character. These _ qualities, coupled with instruction and thorough training in self-discipline, self-expression and cultural and spiritual development, provide a solid foundation for a happy, abundant and productive life. This may be a unique concept to education as it is viewed today, but not to Ambassador College. In 1947, Herbert W. Armstrong recognized a need for a totally different college. Today Ambassador Col- lege is needed even more!

Though a person may have all the knowledge in the world, that knowledge is of no value unless it is put to proper use. The ability to come to right knowledge and under- standing, and then to direct the mind and body into following the right course, is what we know as charac- ter. Ambassador College stresses character development in every aspect of a student’s education — in intellect, in personality, in physical fitness, in daily life — but also stresses that none of the knowledge a student gains while at college is of any value unless he or she puts it to the proper use! What good is knowing the purpose and meaning of life — mankind’s true destiny and how to achieve it — if you’re going to do nothing with that knowledge? What good is knowing the principles that cause peace, happiness, prosperity and abundant well-being if you arent going to apply those principles? Character is the key to the right use of knowledge. It is the basis of any truly successful life. The world, in general, ignores this fact, but in true education, the importance of character development is continually stressed. Yet character not only is the most important aspect of true education, it is also the most difficult to de- velop. Character comes from diligent work, from the inexorable requirement that every student perform each task set before him or her with care and thoroughness. That’s why the spirit of diligent work — honest, painstaking work — pervades the Ambassador campus. If Ambassador College neglected its obligation to instill sterling character in its students, it would utterly fail to properly prepare students for life ahead. CHARACTER — the most important aspect of true edu- cation — does not come from wishful thinking, but from persistent action. That’s why the spirit of work pervades the Ambassador College campus.

Many say the atmosphere at Ambassador is the happiest they’ve encountered. “T cannot find words to express it,’ Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand told Ambassador’s founder, Herbert W. Armstrong, during her visit in 1985. “Maybe the most important value here is that you produce incredible people — people with good qualities.”’ What is it about Ambassador’s people that inspires such comments? Ambassador College was founded on the philosophy that true education develops more than the mind. It develops personality, true culture, poise and emotional maturity. Personality is, by one definition, the inevitable expression of everything a person is — his or her LEARNING TO LOVE and enjoy others — to give of yourself in personal relations — is the basis of a radi- ant personality. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.” DEVELOPING an outgoing interest and warmth for one’s neighbor is a crucia l step toward developing a giv- ing, unselfish, caring personality. character, values, attitudes, emotions and behavior. Am- bassador strives to develop personality to the fullest. Learning to love and enjoy others — to give of yourself in personal relations — is the basis of a radi- ant personality. People don’t develop such unselfish, outgoing con- cern for others by dwelling upon themselves, but by developing and maintaining a sense of purpose outside themselves. ““We-thinking can be nurtured just like me- thinking can,” wrote Michael and Lise Wallach, psy- chologists at Duke University. Ambassador is an ideal environment for nurturing “we-thinking.” Its small enrollment comprises more than 40 nationalities, giving students daily exposure to a worldwide spectrum of people, customs and cultures. Daily life is designed to draw people out of themselves and to stimulate interaction with others. At Ambas- sador, a person develops an appreciation for, rather than an aversion to, individual differences. Ambassador tries to bring out the best in its stu- dents, so they will continually bring out the best in others. One of Herbert W. Armstrong’s favorite sayings was, “You never have a second chance to make a first impression.” Ambassador students and alumni try not only to make a good first impression. They try to make a good lasting impression.0 Seen cha Lees | From the Latin intellectus, the ability to reason, perceive or understand. he word intellectual usually conjures images of time-honored thinkers such as Socrates, Locke, Aristotle or Einstein. Actually, everyone has a God-given intellect, and uses that intellect, well or badly, every day. By way of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, speeches, books and conversation, people are subjected to a continuous deluge of contrasting and conflicting ideas about world affairs, government and politics, edu- cation, child rearing, sex and marriage and, not least of all, about religion. With little knowledge and a mea- ger ability to discern the right from the wrong and the true from the false, many fall prey to the loudest and most persistent propagandists. We can save ourselves from error only by developing the strength and clarity of mind to rightly judge issues for ourselves. The primary goal of Ambassador College is to teach students to develop their ability to discern the true and right way from the false, and to use self-discipline to actually live and do that which is right. Such a process in the building of character requires mind power — intellect, ability to absorb knowledge, to reason, to think, to devise, to draw conclusions, to will and to act. Knowledge alone won’t do the trick. An author on college education offered this insight: “Facts, concepts, principles and ideas can be extraordinarily useful tools. However, if you merely collect and store them, facts and ideas are pointless.” Since the day it was founded, Ambassador has rec- ognized the need for balance between book learning and extracurricular activities, between work and recre- ation, between ideas and practical experience. One doesn’t become educated by hearing and learning only, but by thinking and doing. An Ambassador student, A FUND OF FACTS, concepts, principles and ideas can be extraordinarily useful tools. What is more important, however, is what one builds with those tools. therefore, is at home in the world of ideas as well as the world of practical, hands-on experience. Jonas Salk put facts and concepts to work, and to- day polio is an almost forgotten word. Thomas Edison turned his ideas into reality, and kept people from groping about in the dark. Not everyone can be a Salk or an Edison, but ev- eryone has the capacity to acquire, discern and use knowledge for the benefit and well-being of all. Am- bassador College is committed to seeing that students acquire and use knowledge well.O THE PRIMARY GOAL of Ambassador College is to develop one’s ability to discern the true and right way from the false, and to use self-discipline to actually live and do that which is right. Such character requires mind power. — : : NOI aa ORATION wane RA Ey a a ee — ee EI “le IR a mt RE et et ot ARE a comer nmr renncrenn meter” — Sot ee ert SWIMMING CAN PROVIDE one of the best all-around fitness programs.

Radiant teal CT From the Middle English helth, physical and mental well-being. mbassador College places strong emphasis on de- veloping radiant health, because a person must be in good health to participate fully in life’s op- portunities and achieve true success. Health isn’t something that comes by chance. It can be main- tained only by making a conscientious effort to follow the principles that produce good health. Fitness in- volves sound nutrition, rest and relaxation, exercise, good mental health and avoiding circumstances that in- cline toward disease and injury. Many authorities have attributed much sickness and a aa Se disease to faulty diet. Yet many people ignore the fact that it matters what they eat and drink. Ambassador pays a great deal of attention to assure that students learn the principles of a sound, wholesome diet. At the same time, Ambassador emphasizes that stu- dents pay attention to their life-styles, that they adhere to personal habits that produce radiant health. Keeping regular hours and getting sufficient rest and relaxation are important. Sufficient sleep, for example, greatly en- hances energy levels and helps minimize illness. A third rule for developing and maintaining optimum health is exercise. Most people need to set aside time for exercise. Ambassador’s physical education depart- ment, as well as its intramural sports program, pro- vides many opportunities for students to develop robust health through a wide variety of stimulating activities. Ultimately, the benefits of good nutrition, exercise, rest and a positive attitude go far beyond the physical, because there is a direct correlation between our physi- cal and mental fitness. “Today millions of us are learning that physical fit- ness and mental fitness are closely allied,’ wrote George Leonard, contributing editor for Esquire magazine. “We are rediscovering the essential unity of body, mind and spirit.” Herbert W. Armstrong was aware of that essential unity long ago. “The mind and the body form the most wonderful mechanism we know,” he wrote. ‘‘Without health one is direly handicapped, if not to- tally cut off from achievement.” 10 SRE ar = TIME OUT Chancellor Joseph W.

OLey wVeatsmac oO. Herbert W. Armstrong had a vision, inspired by God. Now, the fulfillment of that vision is part of the legacy he left to the world. Ambassador Col- lege has always trained men and women in an environment of excellence, peace and happiness, and has commissioned its graduates to reflect and reproduce that environment wherever they go. But the history of the College itself has been a story of challenge, struggle and perseverance. In 1946 in Eugene, Oregon, Mr. Armstrong was trying, singlehandedly, to sustain the publishing and broadcasting Work of the Worldwide Church of God. He held nightly evangelistic campaigns in (Continued on page 39) EARLY HEADQUARTERS — Mr. Arm- strong’s first office was on the second floor of what is now the Library An- nex.

Hoeh about his deci- sion to attend Ambassador College. “In the first co-worker letter I received as a result of listening to the broadcast, the College was described as a possibility. This, I thought, was a new opportunity to be seized.” The first year in 1947-48 was “a real struggle for the survival of the College,” said Dr. Hoeh. “In a certain sense the College ey 1947-51] was not a college as we think of it today. One might say that the transition year was that fourth year [1950-51], when the College conducted its first graduation and the social environment began to reflect a real collegiate atmosphere.” Ambassador’s development depended heavily on the students’ extracurricular activities, said Dr. Hoeh. “Over the years, the music depart- ment played the strongest role in developing the College environment. Here were the right people,” he said, referring to Lucy Martin and others, “to set the tone and character of the College atmosphere — the extracurricular inter- play of social, academic and family atmo- spheres. LED 8 © eeeee ee P “Music is fundamental to any culture. This was a cultural institution. So it was appropriate that the College develop its collegiate setting from music as opposed to football, basketball or other athletics.” Most students took individual voice and mu- sic lessons from Lucy Martin, Leon Ettinger and other faculty members, and Mr. Armstrong occa- sionally brought his record player from his home and played classical records for the stu- dents. “Mr. Armstrong was an artist at heart,’ Dr. Hoeh said. The early years of the College were influ- enced by worldwide events,’ Dr. Hoeh ex- plained. “I don’t think that there was any period of greater crisis after World War II than the years of 1947-1950,” he said. “‘The State of Israel was founded in the first year of the College. The Communists seized power in China in 1949. The Soviets developed the A-bomb. There was a major crisis and war in the Middle East. The Cold War really began in earnest then, resulting in the Berlin airlift. It provoked much discus- sion and interest. It was certainly an interesting period in modern history to found an institution of higher learning.” HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG eo e. LOMA D.

As Ambas- sador’s first dean of women, she helped institute Women’s Clubs in 1955. Except for Mr. Armstrong himself, she remained with the Col- lege longer than any other original faculty member. Mrs. Wener had moved to Pasadena from New York the year before Ambassador College opened. She was teaching at a Pasadena women’s school when she noticed in a newspa- per Ambassador’s advertisement for personnel. “T knew very little of Mr. Armstrong,” she said. “But I was struck with his vitality and enthusiasm. I could tell he was the kind of person I wanted to join forces with. “JT felt the vision that Mr. Armstrong held,” she said. ‘‘There were hard times, and there was little money, but when I was around Mr. Arm- strong I never doubted that the College would make it. And the students had a zeal about what they were doing that was infectious. They had a reason for being there.” Mrs. Wener worked as librarian and assisted with registrar’s work until the end of Ambas- sador’s first year, after which three faculty mem- bers resigned. She then began to teach the music and English classes. Mrs. Wener’s own liberal arts training at several colleges, includ- ing The Juilliard School and Columbia Univer- sity, gave her an appreciation for Mr. Arm- strong’s approach to education. “The early students felt they came for Bible study, and some resented having to take music appreciation and humanities,” she said. “Mr. Armstrong told them that they needed a well- balanced training.” Mrs. Wener contributed to the design of the Loma D. Armstrong Academic Center as well as Ambassador Auditorium, and she helped Mr. Armstrong select the two Steinway concert pi- anos for the Auditorium. “We went to the Steinway factory in Ger- many, where they had eight to choose from,” she said. ‘We picked out two that are still used in the Auditorium now. Many pianos were ob- tained locally for the College, but for the Audi- torium the very best concert grand was needed.” VISION J] THE EARLY DAYS — Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong process the daily mail in the early administration building (above left).

But it would stress not only scholastic achievement, but effective development of character, personality, poise and culture. Opening Announced Also, because of the expanding Church and Work, a new headquarters was needed, and near Hollywood — at that time the only West Coast city with adequate recording studios to accommodate the World Tomorrow program. Desiring to live neither in Hollywood nor Los Angeles, Mr. Armstrong looked for a site in Pasadena. After months of searching proved fruitless, Mr. Armstrong was shown an 18-room mansion on a two-acre plot in the heart of Pasadena’s ‘“‘Millionaire’s Row.” Miraculously, with no money to make a down payment, Mr. Armstrong was able to sign a lease-and-option contract — monthly payments of $1,000 to be applied toward the (Continued on page 40) MAYFAIR, purchased in 1949, served simultaneously as a dining facil- ity, a student activity center and a men’s and women’s dormitory. keptical of Mr. Armstrong and wary toward God’s Church, but overcome with curiosity that had to be satisfied, Ken- neth Herrmann drove from Kenneth Herrmann Mr. Herrmann, 63, the first student to enroll for Ambassador College's second year, received his B.S. in 1953 and his M.A. in 1967.

But he had only four students and eight faculty members. And the one who was asking him how many students he had was his freshman class for the second year.” (Later that fall, Mr. Raymond F. McNair and his brother also enrolled, raising the number of students in the freshman class to three.) “I had heard Mr. Armstrong on the radio while I was working in Nebraska as a farmhand,” said Mr. Herrmann. “‘If this man was telling the truth, I thought it would be worth- while to go out and check this man out. I had to go and see.” By the end of the spring, his skepticism to- ward Ambassador had turned to awe. “The most striking thing was to see that such a small group was tackling such a huge job, a job to carry out a message to the world, a message that other theologians and evangelists on the air weren’t preaching,” he said. ‘‘We felt individually selected and responsible — and collectively responsible, as a small group — for a gigantic mission that so few others seemed to understand.” So convicted were Ambassador’s pioneer stu- dents of God’s revealed truth that each made an individual contribution to accomplish that mis- sion. “If we were to go back and check, we would find that some individual used some initiative in every aspect that later grew within the Work today,” said Mr. Herrmann. “Dick Armstrong ran the radio studio. I entered the science field, and there were various statements made by people that I was able to prove wrong by my studies in science. Dr. Hoeh taught the first German class. Each of us demonstrated some initiative in a field, and were then used in that way.” When in need of inspiration, said Mr. Herr- mann, there was always someone to turn to. Especially, there was always Mr. Armstrong. “Mr. Armstrong, by nature, was an ambas- sador,” he said. “We heard his explanation of the Bible, of course, but we saw by his example how things should be done.” VISION ig VISIO! purchase price of $100,000. (However, for the next 25 months, Mr. Armstrong would have to resist the seller’s persistent attempts to regain possession, until, at last, the conflict was resolved in the College’s favor.) He then announced in the January 1947 Plain Truth that Ambassador College would open in September of that year. In August, however, city inspectors condemned the wiring and plumbing. At the crippling cost of $30,000, the building was refurbished, but it delayed the College’s opening. Consequently, Ambassador College opened on October 8, 1947, and with only four students and a faculty of eight. There was no gymnasium, no dining room, no dormitories. For a library, the school had aview Dooks, and encyclopedias stacked on a shelf in the one room that served as music room, assembly room, study room and lounge. The s€cond year, although enrollment increased to seven, the faculty was trimmed to five, and classes were limited to three days a week. Here a Little, There a Little But from Ambassador’s humble beginning came extraordinary growth. Within the next decade, Ambassador acquired four of Pasadena’s most distinguished mansions. In May 1949, the College doubled its sizeyipy annexing the adjoining estate. With it came a 28-room, Tudor-style building called Mayfair, which housed the 12 students whomenrolledador Ambassador’s third year.

CAF Ee | helped institute what came to be known as Ambassador Clubs, weekly dinner meetings for students based on Toastmasters International clubs. “I took Mr. Armstrong to a Toastmasters International meeting where he could see what ike many who preceded him, Jack Elliott sold all his be- cL, longings, left his home in 1949 and moved to Pasadena, where he became a part of Mr. Elliott, 64, a Navy veteran and graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, came to Ambassador College in 1949 as an instructor of mathematics. He served as Ambassador's first dean of students for 15 years and was the first coordinator of Ambassador and Spokesman Clubs. A VISION Ambassador College — not as a student, but as one of its first instructors. In the years to come, he would serve as an instructor of mathematics, psychology, English and history, and as the director of physical ed- ucation, as the director of buildings and grounds and, for 15 years, as the College’s first dean of students. “When I came, there were only 12 students, and we had to wear a lot of different hats,” said Mr. Elliott, who retired in 1976 and resettled in Gladewater, Texas, near the Ambassador cam- pus in Big Sandy. Having attended the University of Texas in Austin, Mr. Elliott needed some time to adjust to Ambassador. “I understood it was small, but I wasn’t quite piepatee for how small,” he said. “Tt was hard for me to come from the college that I did, with 27,000 students, and come to this college with only 12 students. I never men- tioned in any of my letters home how big we really were.” While he was dean of students, Mr. Elliott the club was supposed to function like,” he said. While Mr. Elliott was in charge of buildings and grounds, most of Ambassador's modern buildings were constructed, including the Stu- dent Center, the Loma D. Armstrong Academic Center, the Hall of Administration and Ambas- sador Auditorium. Reflecting on his days at Ambassador, Mr. Elliott marveled at both the campus and those associated with it. ‘““We took an itty-bitty place that was overgrown in weeds, old mansions that had run to ruin, started with four students and built a beautiful college. And God built charac- ter, using the faculty as instruments. The beau- tiful attitudes matched the beauty of the cam- us. : “Someone called us pioneers later on, and I was always embarrassed, because I pictured pi- oneers as being some glorious group of people, and I felt very common and ordinary. Looking back, I can see that we really were pioneers.” Dr. Meredith, 57, who received his B.A. (1952), M.A. (1958) and Th.D. (1966) from Ambassador College, has served as associate editor of The Plain Truth and The Good News and as second vice president of Ambassador College. He is Ambassador's senior faculty member and deputy chancellor of the Big Sandy campus. 1952 REMEMBERED — The Footprints of Mr. Armstrong and the four pioneer students were imprinted in con- crete on March 28 (above). The Ambassador Chorale was organized as a surprise for Mr. Armstrong in the spring (below). First-year graduate Roderick Meredith performs a baptism during the Feast of Tabernacles at Zeigler Springs, California (left). artially because of his uncle’s ersuasiveness and partially o ae of his own convic- tion, Roderick C. Meredith came to Pasadena in 1949 after a year at Joplin Junior College in Missouri. He was Ambassador College’s first transfer student. “My uncle [C. Paul Meredith, the first director of Ambassador’s Correspondence Course] said he’d been to six other colleges and universities, and he said ‘That man [Mr. Armstrong] knows more than anyone,” recalled Dr. Meredith. “So I did try those early years to go through and prove very carefully, step by step, ‘Is Mr. Armstrong the true servant of God?’ ‘Are we preaching the truth?’ And above and beyond anything else, ‘Is this obviously God’s Work?’ I’m from Missouri, so I don’t just take any new idea automatically.”’ (Missouri’s nickname is the “Show-Me State.’’) Since that first year, Dr. Meredith has devoted his life to God ’s Work and Ambassador College, having served on the faculty since his gradua- tion in 1952. With his appointment in 1986 as deputy chancellor of Big Sandy, he became the first man to serve as deputy chancellor of all three campuses. “Mr. Armstrong himself has said many times, and I agree with him 100 percent, that the three campuses mutually excelled each other. There were certain strengths in each one that the others could not measure up to,” said Dr. Meredith. “Pasadena had then, and does have, the biggest and most elegant buildings. Bricket Wood was by far the most naturally beautiful campus when the weather was good. But noth- ing had the outdoor atmosphere, the wide-open country feeling, that Big Sandy has.” Among Dr. Meredith’s fondest memories of the College’s early years was the intimate in- volvement students had with both Mr. Arm- strong and the Work. “We had more of a personal, family feeling in the early days, because we were so small, and we were much more heavily influenced by Mr. Armstrong personally,” he said. ‘He was work- ing his heart out for the Church of God. He was pushing and shoving himself, physically, men- tally and spiritually driving on to get the mes- sage out. That was encouraging, inspiring and a wonderful example.” VISION 4 Burk McNair Mr. McNair, 55, an evangelist, gradu- He is pastor of the Big Sandy and Bp Tyler, Texas, churches, and is the i younger brother of Raymond McNair, i deputy chancellor of Ambassador's Pasadena campus. ba ated from Ambassador College in 1954. and grounds, the Hulett C. Merritt Estate, together with its sunken Italian gardens, was added in July 1956. It later was renamed Ambassador Hall and became the College's main classroom building. Later in 1956 the Lewis J. Merritt mansion was acquired and converted into a men’s dormitory called Manor Del Mar. A 16-room, Mediterranean-style mansion was annexed in March 1958. It was renamed Terrace Villa and converted into a second women’s residence. Ambassador Expands Overseas Though still just in its growing stages, Ambassador already consisted of a campus whose quality and character were second to none. Before Ambassador was founded, Mr. Armstrong, even then planning to establish a campus abroad, had visited Europe to search for a suitable site. Finally, in 1959, he found a 150-acre estate in Bricket Wood, England, about five miles from London. T here Ambassador opened its second campus in the Fall of 1960. Ambassador expanded again in 1964, opening a third campus to 105 students in Big Sandy, Texas. Ambassador then launched a vigorous development program. A gymnasium and natatorium were built in Pasadena in 1961. The following year construction began on the Student Center in Pasadena, a gymnasium in (Continued on page 45) IN 1959, one year after the walkway leading to Mayfair and Terrace Villa was constructed (top right), the man- made stream between the two dormi- tories opened (top left). In 1972, construction began on the 1 6-mile running track (left). ollowing in the footsteps of two older brothers, evangelist Burk McNair moved from Ar- kansas to Pasadena in the sum- mer of 1950. At the time, how- 7 a ever, he didn’t intend to go to college, but to work. “I went to Pasadena that fall with the inten- tion of getting a job,” said Mr. McNair. “Mr. Armstrong said, “Young man, are you going to college?’ I said that I wasn’t, because I didn’t have the money. He said: ‘Yes, you are. You be there at registration day. We will worry about the money.’ ” To Mr. McNair, Ambassador’s sparse enroll- ment — 22 students his first year — was of no concern. Ambassador’s curriculum was. “I knew it was a small college. I was from a rural area, and wasn’t anxious to go to a big college any- way,” he said. “I was interested in God’s Word, and that’s why I went to Ambassador.” Recalling early days when the College strug- gled to survive, Mr. McNair said: ‘We had a lot of rough financial situations when we didn’t know if we were going to have a meal on our table the next day or not, and we fasted and prayed about that. It was very, very touch-and-go at that time. “There was a tremendous struggle to make ends meet and to keep expanding, yet Mr. Arm- strong always had the approach that the Work must grow, and we must go on faith. Many times he would step out when there was no sign or evidence that we would be able to make it. Yet, somehow, we always did.” Though he expected a certain amount of ex- pansion, Mr. McNair has been surprised — and — pleased — with Ambassador’s progress to date. “We knew [the Work] had to reach the whole world, but looking back, our sights were very low in comparison to what they are today,” he said. “I don’t think anyone had the vision Mr. Armstrong had. “From the very first, from hearing Mr. Arm- strong talk, I learned that he did not think little. If there’s one thing Mr. Armstrong did, it was that he thought big in relation to God’s Work. He never was one to hold back. He was always expanding, believing we would one day fill the earth. He had the vision and the big picture more than anyone I’ve ever known.” ae Mat eeeeee S: THE MAIN RESIDENCE of the Yule Estate in Bricket Wood, England (above), was renamed Memorial Hall in memory of Mr. Armstrong's oldest son, Richard David, who died in July 1958. shen Norman Smith arrived at Ambassador College in 1950, he found “‘a family type atmo- sphere among a very small stu- dent body of 23 people.” Mr. Smith came to Ambassador intending to study mechanical engineering, “but it quickly became clear that the College was not soon going to have the resources to offer such a Saas which I have no regrets about,” he said. While Mr. Smith was in school, Richard Arm- strong, the oldest son of Mr. Armstrong, oper- ated and supervised the World Tomorrow radio studio on campus. “In 1951 Dick asked me to work with him in the studio,’ Mr. Smith said. “And I was put in charge of the studio when Dick went to Europe in 1952 to establish a European Office.” Mr. Smith said the responsibility “put me on call to Mr. Armstrong, which meant I could be called at any time to the studio. As Dr. Meredith and other faculty members will attest, I was. I probably graduated from Ambassador with less in-class hours than any other student.” Later, Mr. Smith was instrumental in developing the television facilities on campus for The World Tomorrow. Norman Smith Mr. Smith, 57, graduated from Ambas- - sador College in 1954. As a student, he was manager of the Church's radio Studio. He now pastors the churches in San Bernardino and Banning, California. Lake Loma in Big Sandy was constructed in 1960 and expanded in 1965 (top). When Mayfair opened in 1949, women were housed on the second floor and men on the third (above). The Armstrongs were an integral part of the Ambassador experience from the beginning, said Mr. Smith. “Mr. Armstrong kept instilling vision in us about what the Work could and should grow to be,” he said. “Mrs. Loma Arm- strong was very influential in positively shaping student character and personality. In addition to usually sitting in the studio with Mr. Arm- strong during the broadcast recording, Mrs. Armstrong would often visit the dorms to talk to students one-on-one.”’ Asked if he learned any lessons from the early years that could be applied today, Mr. Smith responded, “Don’t listen or pay attention to petty criticism. Mr. Armstrong faced a lot of opposition that was unjustified in the early years — people who thought he should change the broadcast. “Even in those days Mr. Armstrong talked a lot about the importance of unity and of being in agreement. He taught us the importance in getting counsel before making decisions, but also the lesson on holding the course once the decision is made. It can be hard, but Mr. Arm- strong showed us by his personal example that it’s worth it.” VISION q} Te —_ Gene Michel Mr. Michel, 56, graduated from Ambas- sador College in 1953 and is married to Betty Bates Michel, one of Ambas- sador's original four students.

All he received in return were blank stares. “Never heard of it,’ was the common reply. “My parents had talked to Mr. Armstrong per- sonally, and Mr. Armstrong said to call him up when I arrived in Pasadena and someone would pick me up,” explained Mr. Michel. ‘Mr. Nor- man Smith and Bill Homberger came down in an old Plymouth and picked me up. When we arrived on the campus, all I could think was that I knew AC would be a small campus, but I didn’t think it would be this small!” The College then comprised only what is now the Library, the Library Annex and the Mayfair dormitory. Mr. Michel, today the property manager for the Church, resolved not to judge the College and its activities on his first impressions of the campus. Instead, he let the people speak for themselves. “Right away I was impressed by how everyone was willing to help everyone else,’ he said. “We worked together, ate to- gether, attended social activities together. It was Fa ae = a a real family atmosphere.” Mr. Michel remembers that he initially ‘“‘was scared to death of Annie Mann,” a beloved mother figure to the students and a deaconess in the Church. “She ran a tight ship down there in Mayfair, but I soon learned that her bark was worse than her bite,” said Mr. Michel. ““Nobody loved the College, the Work and the students more than Mrs. Mann.” The prevalent goal among students, accord- ing to Mr. Michel, was “helping the Work.” “The financial hardships were many, but we counted it a privilege to be part of what was being built. Everyone was expected to con- tribute or be used in some fashion toward build- ing Ambassador College and God’s Work. “One thing to remember: Back then I think it can honestly be said that no one — not even Mr. Armstrong — really had the full vision of what this Work would grow to today. Today we think of the Work as a huge, worldwide operation. But if we early students underestimated the growth of the Work, I just wonder how much amazing growth is yet ahead?” WHEN CONSTRUCTION began on the Loma D. Armstrong Academic Cen- ter in 1967, the entrance to Ambassador Hall was remodeled (left). Ambas- sador students enjoy the annual Snowline Party at Holiday Hill in 1964 (above). Pastor generals, past and present, com- memorate the 50th an- niversary of Mr. Arm- strong’s ordination (right). Dean Blackwell Mr. Blackwell, 56, was the first of four brothers to graduate from Ambassador College. He pastored churches in Ore- gon, St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee before joining the faculty in Big Sandy in 1972. Now he is a lecturer in theol- ogy at Pasadena. fter hearing Mr. Armstrong on the radio in 1952, Dean Black- well launched into a thorough study of the Bible and Church literature. Later that year, while Mr. Blackwell was on break from Texas A M University, he met Mr. Armstrong in East Texas. “He started talking to me about Ambassador College,” said Mr. Blackwell, now an evangelist in God’s Church. “I just felt there was nothing else for me to do but come out here to the College. So I came. ‘when I came to Ambassador College the urgency was to finish as soon as you could and get out into the Work, because there were very few men to go out into the Work to glean the harvest,” said Mr. Blackwell. ‘So back then there was more of an urgency to get into col- lege, take as many courses and graduate as fast as you could and get out and start doing the Work.” When Mr. Blackwell arrived in the fall of 1953, there were 19 freshmen and a total of 18 sophomores, juniors and seniors. “TI knew it was small, but it seemed like such a warm family,” he said. “I remember all the students getting back together at the end of the Bricket Wood and a dormitory complex in Big Sandy. Before the end of the decade, four more buildings were constructed in Pasadena — the Science and Fine Arts halls; Grove Terrace, a men’s residence; and the Hall of Administration. The capstone to Ambassador’s expansion program, Ambassador Auditorium, was completed in 1974. As God’s Work grew, supported by hundreds of Ambassador graduates directly or indirectly, the time came to concentrate on the headquarters campus in Pasadena. In 1974, as rising inflation in Britain made it more difficult for Pasadena to subsidize the Ambassador campus in England, the College closed its Bricket Wood campus and later sold the property. Big Sandy was closed three years later, but reopened in 1981 as a two-year junior college. With Ambassador’s influence extending worldwide, the College continued to grow and develop as a supporting arm of the Worldwide Church of God. Today the College's curriculum and extension programs are under continual evaluation to make sure’ the College lives up to the philosophy on which it was founded. Having seen Ambassador College grow in ways only someone guided by God could have envisioned 39 years before, Herbert W. Armstrong, 93, died peacefully in his sleep in January 1986. His successor, Joseph W. Tkach, said at Mr. Armstrong’s funeral, “There is no man who can fill his shoes, but Father, we aim to follow in his footsteps.” Under Chancellor Tkach’s guidance, Ambassador College continues to follow the same goals and policies of its founder. This unique College still demands excellence, and continuously strives to Recapture True Values!o summer. They were all really excited, running and hugging each other. Everything struck me as being so much like it was in the Bible days — we had baptisms out in a lake, and everybody would ask Bible questions and Mr. Armstrong could always turn to scriptures and give the Bible answers.” Although Ambassador is about 20 times larger than it was when Mr. Blackwell attended, the College ‘wasn’t that much different from what it is now,’ he said. “I think the same purpose has been pretty much consistent and steady. We had athletic activities, we had field day, we always had social activities. Everybody worked, and everyone participated in Ambas- sador Clubs and in social functions.” When he reflected on the early days of Am- bassador College, a couple of things stood out most in Mr. Blackwell’s mind. “First it would have to be the emphasis Mr. Armstrong placed on being diligent and never quitting, on having an appreciation for quality and perfection, and doing the job as best as it can be done,” he said. “And secondly, the de- termination to live by the very Word of the Scriptures, no matter what the cost.” VISION Af VISIO — Ac Qlimscalcsforty tars 1947 Ambassador College opens 1948 Classes are cut back to 1949 The College buys a 28- 1950 Six girls are among the 10 with eight faculty members and three days a week and the fac- room, Tudor-style building new students who enroll at AC. four students. ulty is reduced to five because called Mayfair and converts it of financial problems. into its first dormitory. 1951 Herman L.

What Mr. Armstrong foresaw more than 40 years ago has come to pass. Combining buildings that once were a part of Pasadena’s “Millionaire’s Row” with those constructed during the Col- lege’s vigorous development program, Ambassador has fashioned a campus as appealing as any. Its beauty has been acknowledged many times by the Pasadena Beautiful and Los Angeles Beautiful foundations, and by regional publications and leading a architectural journals.

ZHOU Beijing, China PASADENA FRESHMEN 123 SESE TRS hroughout the 1985-86 season, college basketball's player of the year, a junior at a prominent university, was tormented by a major decision he had to make: Should he remain in college and complete his senior year, or forego his final year of college to play PAS in the National Basketball Associa- tion? He sought the advice of NBA scouts. ‘Stay in school,” they encouraged him, ‘‘to work on your jump shot.” Was that why he went to school in the first place? College athletics today have redefined the term stu- dent-athlete to mean one who becomes a student only because he is an athlete! Yet academic and athletic pursuits cannot be sep- arated in a balanced education. Ambassador Col- lege strives to develop the whole person — men- tally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Character is the goal. “Sports provide a ready-made environment for teaching real-life experiences. It is a vital part of the educational process,’’ said Mr. Jim Petty, Ambas- sador's intramural director. ‘‘We’re talking about the character of a human being, his attitudes, how they are shaped and molded. Unlike other colleges, we’re d evoted to developing the attitude of athletes as opposed to skill development and proficiency. That’s the backbone of the program.” Viewed in this light, athletics become not a form of competition, but of cooperation, not a way of putting others down, but of building them up. What is important is the attitude. (Continued on page 126) SEVERAL STUDENTS and College employees played hockey on Saturday nights at a Burbank arena. Ghis- lain Ringuette (foreground) and Dean Holunga cut the ice (right). Randy Zacharias, Andre Zick and Scott Hughes contend for the puck (above). 124 PASADENA SPORTS [Continued] High school, college and professional sports all too often generate an attitude of hostility. Getting the best of an opponent is emphasized as all-impor- tant. A linebacker taunts a quarterback after slam- ming him to the turf. Baseball players sitting in their dugout hurl insults at the opposing pitcher to un- nerve him. Television commentators not only com- mend a college basketball coach for scolding an official, but encourage others to do the same. Instead of hostility and competition, an athlete’s attitude should generate a spirit of camaraderie, stimulating not only the best performance from an opponent, but his best behavior as well! This revo- lutionary philosophy is the foundation of the athletic program at Ambassador. The architect who designs a golf course includes sand traps and small lakes, or leaves a certain amount of trees. These hazards hurt no one, but provide incentive for a ath to develop his skill. Now take basketball. Guarding on defense should be based on the same principle as the sand trap, clump of trees or pond on a golf course. Guarding helps the opponent by stimulating him to do his best. It does not harm, but rather benefits, the opponent. It all depends on the attitude of the play- ers. Winning, therefore, is not the end-all in Ambas- sador’s intramural sports program. Courage, en- durance, patience, teamwork and character, all de- veloped in a high-quality sports environment, are. An Ambassador athlete views sports like a runner does a marathon: everyone who finishes the race is a winner. “We get winning mixed up with success,” said Mr. Petty. ‘Winning per se does not prove success, although it may mean you’re a more skilled partici- pant. But what have you learned? How have you changed? “What’s important is the educational process stu- dents go through in our program. The purpose is to train an individual in right values for life. At the same time, we're also interested in improving skill level, but we emphasize character development. We want a student to carry with him what he learns in our program for the rest of his life.’o ’ RATHER THAN GENERATING a spirit of hostility, so much a part of amateur and professional athletics, Ambassador students developed both skill and a spirit of camaraderie on the ice rink. lb PASADENA SPORTS IGE. 2 - See OP = i OE A ENO ACTON REG LE Neh ee IY Ba - Re ag. Sp 3 3 Juniors, Seniors Decide Flag Football Title etermining the flag football champion had to come down to a big game between the juniors and se- niors, both unbeaten. For the seniors, who had scored 51 and 47 points in their first two games, the season had been rela- tively easy. The juniors, meanwhile, had won in more dramatic fashion. For instance, they once overcame a 27-20 faculty lead to win, 34-27. How ironic it was, then, that the juniors won this E || game so handily, 39-20. The seniors finally met a if | | stumbling block, and the juniors finally had it easy. a “We knew we had an offense that could score. cn The question was, Did we have a defense that could HW | keep them from scoring?” said juniors’ coach Den- z | nis Robertson. ‘‘So we spent a lot of time working on defense.”’ True to its design, the juniors’ strategy, to surren- der the short pass and eliminate the long, perplexed the seniors. Not only did the juniors force the se- niors to punt more times in the first half than they had in their first two games combined, but the juniors held them to a si ngle touchdown before halftime. Meanwhile, junior quarterback Gary Roth passed to Mike Pliuksis for three first-half touch- downs which, coupled with another Roth touchdown pass to Gary Black, staked the juniors to a 27-6 halftime lead. The seniors never recovered. (Continued on page 130) FT| JUNIOR Marcus Allen picks his way through three E sophomore defenders (right).

On the fourth play of the seniors’ opening drive, Brian Young, after taking a lateral from Roger Widmer, passed 20 yards to Martin Brandenberger for a touchdown that brought the seniors to within 14 points. The seniors regained possession — and a chance to draw within a touchdown — by forcing the juniors to turn the ball over on downs. All they needed was another quick drive like the one before. The seniors had detected the juniors’ strategy and exploited the juniors’ defense with a flurry of short passes. But the juniors were expecting just that, and ad- justed accordingly. The seniors went to the short pass, but after four of them, including three comple- tions, had moved only five yards. The juniors took over on downs, and, seven plays later, took control of the game once and for all as Gary Roth tossed another touchdown pass to (who else?) Mike Pliuk- sis. A victory over the freshmen in the season finale gave the juniors a 4-0 finish. The seniors ended the season with a 3-1 record, followed by the faculty at 2-2, the sophomores at 1-3 and the freshmen at 0-4. ON THE RECEIVING END — M ike Pliuksis draws a crowd (right).

After all, beginners don’t pass so precisely as the 3 seniors and juniors did on that night. Novices never : set the ball the way senior Dwyer Hockwald contin- ually set up his teammates throughout the match. if Newcomers to the game rarely reject as many q spikes as did junior Doug Hill during the hour-long 7: encounter. The hits were too sure, the digs too common, the offenses too complicated for begin- 1 @ ners. But then, why shouldn't it have been that way? 1 “Just about everyone playing for the seniors and a juniors was taught by Mr. (Larry) Haworth in Big fs Sandy,” said seniors captain Bob Bapst of the teams’ expertise. ae So, to no one’s surprise, the seniors and juniors 1 finished in first and second place, respectively, in 1 |p the league standings, and met one another in the d |. tournament finals. The seniors, who had swept through the six- match, round-robin schedule unbeaten, won the match three games to one, but not before the ju- niors came within two points of sending the match to a fifth game. After trailing by five points, 12-7, in the fourth game, the juniors scored seven of the next nine points to tie the score at 14-14. Twice the juniors missed chances to take the lead, and even- tually the seniors scored two straight points to close out the game and match. “We had been talking about starting a volleyball league here for a couple of years,’ said Bob Bapst, himself a volleyball instructor at Big Sandy’s S.E.P. camp. ‘| hope Mr. Petty was pleased with the sea- son, because I'd like to see it continue.” If what Mr. Petty saw during March’s tournament was any indication, you can count on it.

There were times when things weren't so perfect. “| remember one play during our first practice when the ball was up in the air and everyone stood back, waiting for somebody else to set it,” recalled Miss Jermakowicz. “The ball hit the floor in the middle of them.” Miss Jermakowicz immediately analyzed the prob lem. Here was a team whose players didn’t yet know how to work with each other. Some were Big Sandy transfer students. Some had not played vol- leyball before coming to Ambassador. Some, who had spent their first two years in Pasadena, were handicapped only by their lack of experience. “They all were great athletes. The potential was there. But they were used to playing in their own different positions, and they hadn’t played together before. That was the main thing. They just needed time to play together,’ Miss Jermakowicz said. Time came in the form of an eight-match, round- robin schedule against the faculty, freshmen, se- niors and sophomores, a schedule not nearly so easy as the juniors made it look. After all, the seniors were the defending champi- ons. The senior players had not lost an intramural match since 1984, their sophomore year. And the freshmen showed that the new kids on the block were not to be taken lightly, either: In their debut the freshmen forced the seniors to five games before losing. SohoN then, were the juniors able to finish with an 8-0 match record, losing only four of the 28 games they played? “Because they were more intent on playing their best than they were on winning,’ said Miss Jer- makowicz. “‘A couple of times they were so en- grossed with what they were doing that they didn’t even keep up with the score. The game would be over, and they would be back in their positions waiting on the next serve.” Stressing what they came to know as fun-damen- tals, the juniors lived up to their motto, whether it was Shari Palm chasing down a hit gone astray, Toshia Peters guarding the net or Laura Hirschler executing a nose-dive spike. The seniors coupled their 3-2 opening-match vic- tory over the freshman with a more convincing 3-0 win over the freshmen later in the season, and finished in second place with a 6-2 record. The freshmen, despite an 0-2 start, rebounded to finish in third place with a 4-4 record. The faculty and sophomores split their two matches with each other and finished tied for fourth place at 1-7.o0 a ee en ny ee i ia te sais a OF WSN noe Nc etonerabmt as S EP GE sa. ¢ 98K HELPING HANDS — Senior Christy Allgeyer (7) taps the ball beyond the reach of two sophomores (below).

Perhaps it was the zealous public-address an- nouncer, Dean of Students Greg Albrecht, who in his enthusiasm became less of an announcer and more of a colorful, play-by-play commentator. It might have been the college band and the dance team, whose moving melodies and spirited routines assured there was never a dull moment during time- outs, halftimes or between games. Maybe it was the gymnasts from Imperial Elemen- tary School, some of them not as tall as a balance ie beam, who brought the audience to its feet with halftime feats of jumping, rolling, twisting and twirling. It could have been the freshman class adviser, Financial Aids Officer Arthur Suckling, who in his fervor for flaunting the freshman class color came to a game clad in trousers that were, well, bright. The list could continue, but we'll cut it short, lest we forget the main attraction, the five men’s and five women’s basketball teams that sparked Ambas- sador’s own “Saturday Night Fever.’’ No team survived the season without at least one loss. The faculty finished on top of the men’s divi- sion with a 7-1 record, losing only to the juniors.

In baseball, it's the home run; in football, the touchdown pass. In basketball, no play incites an audience quite like the slam dunk. Sophomore Joe Brandenberger spiced up games at Ambassador College with his repertoire of ways to stuff a leather ball through an iron hoop. ‘‘It’s really incredible,” commented an admirer, “because he just glides up there so effortlessly.”’ PASADENA SPORTS | jg [Continued] seniors ended at 5-3, the juniors and sophomores each were 4-4 and the freshmen, who endured a distinct height disadvantage, finished 0-8. The senior and de women, who lost only to one another, tied for first place with 7-1 records. They were followed by the faculty (4-4), the fresh- men (2-6) and the sophomores (0-8). The men’s and women’s all-star games, both won by the upperclassmen, climaxed the season, while a spectacular December game between the pee and senior men was another thrilling highlight. Intramural Director Jim Petty described the junior-senior game as ‘‘the best game I’ve seen since this gymnasium opened.” From start to finish the game’s pace was quick and intense. First the juniors, then the seniors, held narrow leads. By midway through the second half, with Bob Bapst converting a barrage of lob passes into easy baskets, the seniors had stretched their advantage to double figures. Forced from their game plan, the juniors turned to the three-point shot, and sharpshooters Gary Roth and John Fen- tress began to whittle into the senior lead. In response, the seniors resorted to sitting on their lead. “| wanted them to run time off the clock, but | told them to stay in their offense, to keep looking for a good shot,’’ senior coach Roger Chaney said later. Instead, the seniors strayed out of their offense and into the hands of the juniors, who, with a minute to play, drew within two points. A Brian Young lay-up against the juniors’ full-court defense and a goal-tending call with 10 seconds remaining assured that the juniors would draw no closer. A free throw by the juniors and John Fen- tress’ last-gasp basket, a three-pointer from 30 feet at the buzzer, left the final score at 96-94.0 ALL-STARS — Junior Stacie Woods shoots over the underclassmen during the All-Star game (right).

The season was destined to be � ne of the most exciting to date, consideririy irat each class fielded a team with representatives from a diversity of nations. From the outset it was evident that the sopho- mores, a team composed of players from seven nations, possessed the most individual skill. The juniors in years past had combined sheer dogged determination with teamwork. The seniors, playing together for the last time, were determined to end their college careers with a fine showing. The fresh- men, playing together for the first time at Ambas- sador, were as yet untested. After the preliminary matches, the season came to a thrilling climax in March with a playoff between the juniors and sophomores to determine the 1987 champions. The sophomores dominated the first half by scoring two goals. The first came five min- utes into the match from a shot by Aussie Cliff Worthing that rattled the right-hand corner of the net. Ten minutes later the ball occupied the same space as Patrick Andrist of Switzerland cannon- balled a shot off of a cross from Caribbean star Callistus Lucien. Toward the end of the first half, the juniors began to find their feet, and in the second half, they poured on the pressure. The sophomore defense, though, remained steadfast and unyielding under the control of fullbacks Simon Baker and Ralph Di Fiore and goalkeeper Hamlyn Jailal. Those elusive goals would not materialize for the juniors, and the sopho- mores held on for a 2-0 victory. When the final whistle blew, it not only signaled the end of an action-packed match, but also an eventful, though brief, season. The eventual winners were the sophomores, with a record of three wins and one draw. The juniors finished second with two wins, one loss and a draw, followed by the freshmen (1-2) and the seniors (0-3). “Internationals come to AC not knowing how to play basketball or softball and the soccer season gives them the opportunity to participate in a sport with which they’ve grown up with all their lives,” said sophomore Paul Brown, from England. ‘‘And it also gives the Americans an opportunity to witness how the sport is played, and even gets some of them to try it. Some of them find out they really enjoy the game once they start playing.’’o FLEET OF FOOT — Kenneth Barker leads the sopho- more attack as the seniors rush to defend their goal (right). Supporting Kenneth on the play are Patrick Andrist (far left) and Paul Brown. 142 PASADENA SPORTS Sophomores Never Quit he sophomores had played 13 innings of the cham- pionship series against the juniors, and had only one run to show for it. So with the juniors leading the best-of-three series one game to none, and leading in the second game, 10-1, after six innings, you’d think the season was all but over. Think again. Already the sophomores had established a repu- tation for dramatic comebacks. After finishing the regular season in fourth place with a 1-2-1 record, the sophomores came from a game down in the playoff series to eliminate the seniors, who until then had been unbeaten. Even in the deciding game of that series the sophomores seemed destined for defeat. They trailed in the sixth inning, 3-2, until Brad Reed homered over the right-field railing to tie the score, 3-3. In the eighth inning, Brad blasted another home run, sending the sophomores into the championship series against the juniors. But after losing to the juniors, 4-0, in their first meeting and trailing by nine runs in the second, the sophomores seemed all out of miracles. Then Brad blasted yet another home run to open the seventh inning, closing the deficit to 10-2 and, more impor- tantly, giving his teammates the lift they needed. By the time Brad came on deck again, the sophomores had scored five more runs to draw within 10-7, and had two men on base. That’s where the storybook rally came to a close, however. Before Brad would get a chance to boost the sophomores into the lead, the juniors turned in the final out. For the juniors, winning the intramural softball tournament was a story of its own. They had fin- ished the regular season in third place, behind the faculty (2-1-1) and seniors (4-0). The juniors then advanced to the championship series by sweeping two games from the faculty, 14-13 and 6-1.0 HIT AND RUN — Senior Joey Franklin swings for the fence (right).

To win the May tournament that concluded the softball sea- son, the juniors had to defeat both teams that had beaten them — the faculty and seniors. So after losing the first game of the best-of-three semifinal series against the faculty, what did the juniors change that enabled them to win the next two gouress And after losing again to the seniors in the irst game of the championship series, how were the juniors still able to win the tournament? Pitching had a lot to do with it, noted one junior player, citing the contribution of pitcher Stacie Woods. Another noted the fine play of third base- man Jennifer Montano. But the reason that stands out above all for the juniors’ strong finish was their change of attitude. “Basically, we went out there to have fun, and when the pressure was off, we played better,’ said Shari Palm. “When we were behind, we decided, ‘Well, let’s just go out and have fun,’ and then we played so much better.” The semifinals were the first example of the ju- niors’ transition. After losing their first game to the faculty, 11-10, they won the next two, 22-11 and 21-4, to advance to the championship series against the seniors. Meanwhile the seniors, who had fin- ished the regular season without a loss, advanced to the finals by defeating the sophomores in two straight games. For the juniors, the championship series was a repeat of the semifinals. As before, they lost game one, 10-4. Then, true to form, the juniors swept the next two games — and the tournament — 13-6 and DIAMOND GIRLS — Mrs. Beth Chaney arrives at first base too late to beat the throw to junior Shari Palm (right).

The seniors emerged from the field events with a 28-point lead, then watched anxiously as their advantage dwindled to only four points before they held off a furious freshman rally in the final events. The seniors totaled 107 points compared to 98 for the freshmen, and the sophomores edged the ju- niors for third place by a point, 37-36. The field was considered to be the strongest ever for Ambassador’s annual track and field day, and the number of school records that were broken, tied or challenged was indicative of the talent. Senior Michael North, who was named the most outstanding male athlete, broke his own record in the triple jump, leaping 44 feet, 8 inches. Michael also finished first in the long jump, fourth in the 100-yard dash and ran the second leg for the win- ning 400-yard relay team. Sophomore Joe Brandenburger, who one year ago established a new high jump record of six feet, eight inches, bettered his old mark by an inch. Freshman Ed Dunn shattered the previous record in the 800-yard run, finishing in 1:58.2. Ed came within two seconds of the record in the 1,500-yard run as well.

Freshman Rene Barnes was named the most out- standing female athlete. She won the 100- and 200- bale dash, and excited the crowd with her closing eg of the 400-yard relay. Trailing Oy 15 yards when she was handed the baton, Rene closed to within a half step of the first-place finisher. At the awards ceremony, Deputy Chancellor Ray- mond McNair reminded the students that the best competitor of all may not have won or even have placed in an event. ‘‘There may have been someone out there who didn’t have as much natural ability as others, but who may have tried harder than anyone else,” he said. As an example, Dean of Students Greg Albrecht cited the effort of Kenyan Abraham Mathiu, a senior. Running in the B-division of the 400-yard run, Abra- ham led the field until, with the finish in sight, he fell down, exhausted and drained, and slid across the finish line. ‘He ran with his legs until they gave out,’’ said Mr. Albrecht. ‘‘Then he ran with his heart.’o RUNNERS BURST from the blocks to start the 100- yard dash. Senior Jeff Broadnax (lane four) won the event for the fourth consecutive year, but fell just short of the record he set during his freshman year. 150 PASADENA SPORTS eepterteniinnsiadis ¢ ete eg RPC ROR COE HIGH STEPPING — Freshmen Darren Allgeyer and Robert Butterbaugh fly feet first on their way to a one-two finish in the 100-yard hurdles. CALENDAR® = e A S A D N A haring trials and triumphs through their years at col- ‘ lege, Ambassador’s pioneer students developed a . . brother-sister bond for life. The students of Ambas- sador’s 40th anniversary year, though their numbers ie cco so . . were greater and their cultures more diverse, resolved . es: ia ‘ey to do the same. es : | Here is a look at that 40th year at Ambassador College, a review of the activities and events that are, to Ambassador students, the ties that bind. Summer Around the World Many Ambassador students are alumni of the Worldwide Church of God’s Summer Educational Program, three-week camps that each year welcome more than 1,200 Youth Opportunity United members aged 13- 18. Not by coincidence, Ambassador students comprise the bulk of the S.E.P. staffs in Orr, Minnesota, Big Sandy, Texas, and Loch Lomond, Scotland, three of 14 camps around the world. “Camp is an extension of Ambassador College and the Worldwide Church of God, so, of course, college-trained personnel form the back- bone of our staff,’ said Y.O.U. Coordinator Dr. Kermit Nelson. In addition to instruction in God’s true values, each camp offers activi- 154 PASADENA CALENDAR ties such as water skung, archery, basketball, vol- leyball and swimming, plus classes in communica- tions, photography and dancing. But each camp also has its own unique attractions. At Orr, a four-day canoe trip through the wilderness of northern Minnesota and southern Ontario high- lights the campers’ experience. Big Sandy offers an extensive team-touring cycling program as its main attraction. Y.O.U. members and their coun- selors in Scotland erect tents and camp on the banks of Loch Lomond, where campers are in- structed in sailing and scuba diving. “We set a lot of standards at camp — high quality standards — and as [the campers] grow they'll keep the standards that we set,” said Stacie Woods, a junior from Bremen, Indiana. ‘“Teach- ing them and watching how they progress is so encouraging.” AT LAKE PELICAN in Orr, Paul Meyer assists a water-skier (far left), Sheldon Monson takes the plunge (center), campers on a canoe trip go fish (above), and campers welcome Mr. Tkach to Big Sandy (top). PASADENA CALENDAR | iH JAPANESE SUMMER PROGRAM Sixty-one college students from Japan attended English classes for three weeks at Ambassador College as part of the Japanese Summer Program in July and August. The program, directed by Arthur Suckling, enabled stu- dents from Bunkyo Women’s Junior College in Tokyo to improve their spoken English while getting a taste of American culture. English classes lasted from 8:45 a.m. until noon, after which the students visited local attractions such as Disney- land, the San Diego Zoo and the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games. Originally the program was instituted as a cultural ex- change between the Japanese Ministry of Education and Ambassador College. Since 1973, at least 50 students from Japan have visited Ambassador annually. “Personally, I find it very enjoyable to host the Japanese each summer,” said Mr. Suckling. “I know that the Ambassador students also learn a lot from their stay here. The cultural spinoff has a very positive effect.” JAPANESE students on the summer exchange program enjoy a baseball game at Dodger Stadium.

Here is a survey of current projects, and the phi- losophy behind this extension program. Sri Lanka, an independent island state the size of West Virginia, lies 10 miles off the southeast coast of India. Its palm-fringed beaches are as lovely as its mountains are sheer, and conditions in Sri Lanka’s highlands are much like the cli- THE GREAT WALL was one of the attractions during the eight- week stay in China for eight Ambassador College students (below).

Staffed by nine Ambassador College gradu- ates and students, Waterfield Institute provides } rural Sri Lankans with training in English and in | vocational skills. From typing and shorthand to planting, growing and marketing vegetables, Wa- | terfield’s students develop business skills through | hands-on experience. The institute, which enrolls about 70 Sri Lankans between 18 and 27 years old, is housed in what was once a dilapidated dwelling. After a year of cleaning, scraping and painting, it is now one of the country’s finest schools. “Important visitors to the school have said that every school should be like this in the next cen- |} tury,” said John Halford, the project’s first coordi- } nator. Waterfield’s purpose is to provide training that is not otherwise available to residents of Nuwara Eliya, so that they might find jobs not normally accessible to rural high school graduates. About 100 miles southeast of Nuwara Eliya in the capital city of Colombo — where tempera- tures routinely climb to more than 100 degrees — Ambassador graduates Don and Nina Duchene were sent to instruct English at the Bkikku Teacher’s Training College. “This is Ambassador College with its sleeves rolled up,” said Mr. Halford of the Sri Lanka project. “Ie s a very demanding and maturing ex- perience.” In Jordan, 11 students assist at the Al Hussein School for the Physically Handicapped or at the Bunyat Special Education Center in Amman. The | Ambassador Foundation helps finance and provide instructors for the Bunyat center, which was estab- lished by Princess Sarvath of Jordan to help Am- | man’s mentally handicapped receive special job training. More recently the foundation helped establish a | | sheltered workshop in Jordan, funded by the | Japanese government, where Jordan’s mentally re- tarded and physically handicapped receive special | job training. 7 | In Thailand, Bill Grinnell, David Kranich, Tim | Pebworth and Lila Docken instructed English at the Wat Maha Chula and Wat Sraket school in Bangkok, and at an elementary prep school and a high school on the campus of the Chulalongkorn University. Six Ambassador students spent the summer in } Syria, where they assisted in an excavation under | the direction of renowned archaeologists Dr. Gior- { gio and Marilyn Kelly Buccellati. The Buccellatis | believe the dig site, one-and-a-half miles south of ) the Turkish border, is the possible site of the an- cient capital of the Hittite nation. In December 1986, junior Scot Dixon replaced senior Allen Waggoner in Katmandu, Nepal, where he and graduate Mike Johnson helped Nepal’s Social Services Coordination Council de- vise a computer system to regulate the country’s incoming foreign aid. Although students serving on projects receive a PASADENA CALENDAR | A] moderate allowance, they do not earn a salary and do not receive college credit. So why, then, is the foundation flooded with more student applicants than it can accommodate? “Because of the experience,” said senior Lisa Roe. “I can never complain about the year I spent over there. What we received from them is more than what they received from us.’ We Are Advancing For many, this was the highlight of orientation week at Am- bassador College. Standing center stage of Ambassador Audito- rium, bearing an exuberant smile, was Worldwide Church of God Pastor General Joseph W. Tkach, who was beginning his first full year as chancellor of the College. At first he cajoled his audience, as if prepping them for a friendly chat. Moments later, his tone became intense, his message explicit: “You are here to fulfill your date with des- tiny!” Referring to a passage in Philippians, Mr. Tkach welcomed new students and challenged them to “forget those things which are behind, and reach forth unto the things which are before.” Today, a new era in each of their lives would begin. Orientation Week What struck Emmanuel Okai, a 34-year-old freshman from Yaba, Nigeria, during his first week at Ambassador College was its atmosphere. “I couldn’t believe the people were so harmonious,” said Emmanuel, an instructor at a teacher’s col- lege in Yaba. “Everyone here was of the same mind. It im- pressed me so much.” Emmanuel’s sentiment differed little from that of the 620 other students — 138 of them incoming freshmen — who converged on campus for orientation week. From registration to receptions, from the freshman dance to the get-acquainted picnic and square dance that followed, the unrelenting pace of orientation week reacquainted returning students with Ambassador life and gave freshmen a foretaste of what was to come. Said Reinhard Klett, 28, a freshman from Esslingen, West Germany, “Orientation week gave us a good idea of what Am- bassador College would be like — busy. Very busy. “But of course,” added Reinhard, “I already knew that.” WEEK ONE — Clockwise, from top: Freshmen were the focus of the year’s first dance; Mr. Tkach officiates the Pull-for-Peace; Karen McCutchan and Roy Water- house enjoy the Get-Acquainted Picnic; a freshman trio readies for the three-legged race; and Fohn O’Donnell en- tertains picnickers. 158 PASADENA CALENDAR OP PTE EE Se eee wiphaennccntacee Crt RATE ae APNEA YI NAIR IS N S R ET I NDA A EH ONE EN ISITE TRIN Fun — AC Style Rarely does a nice weekend pass with- out a few Ambassador students visiting one of California’s nearby beaches. But on a perfect day in September, the entire student body turned Huntington Beach — about 45 miles from Pasadena — into an Ambassador College playground. Eleven chartered buses rolled from campus at 9 a.m. that day, and by 10:30 the students had established a bustling beachhead. Besides fun in the water, the day’s activities included relay races, and a beach volleyball tournament. After the day on the beach, students — some merely browned, others baked — evacuated as quickly as they had come. They arrived back in Pasadena by 6 p.m., in time to see the film “Where : the Red Fern Grows” in Ambassador Au- ditorium. Fresh Air and Starry Skies Just 90 miles from campus — away . from the hustle and bustle of the big city — is Camp River Glen, a retreat in the | Angeles National Forest. The camp some- | times serves as a virtual satellite campus for Ambassador students needing a break. On four successive weekends in Sep- tember, the senior, junior and sophomore classes and the ‘married students lodged ‘Bi for two secluded nights at the mountain z resort. acs Trading dorm life for duffle bags, and city lights for moonlit nights, students ‘ “roughed it” for two days.

Be IS PASADENA CALENDAR | i CA ae Students Get In On Act During Educational Field Day Ambassador students weren’t content with merely watching the Big Top Circus at the L.A. County Fairgrounds, where they went for Educational Field Day. They had to get in on the act. So while the circus carried on with its trained dogs, chimpanzees and elephants, Stu- dent Body President Roger Widmer led the audience in a wave that made no small im- pact on the performers, least of all Big Top’s “Happy the Clown.” “In 37 years of doing this, Pve never seen a response like the one those folks gave us,” said Happy. Outside, despite a daylong deluge, students enjoyed attractions such as horse racing, live- stock displays and exhibits of flowers, wine and handicrafts. “It rained tremendously all day. People were soaked,” recalled freshman Mark Wine. “But it didn’t matter. Everybody still had a great time.” UNDER THE BIG TOP — Clockwise from top: Students beared with the rain on Educational Field Day, observed livestock, tested their skill at vari- ous carnival games and viewed the Big Top Cir- cus performers. oe a a fi LFV ERTORD Y ave 2 Awee- CRATES ae Mee Re TERT ae ely 8 On a Sunday evening in September, students enjoyed fine dining at an exquisitely set table, while learning about the finer points of table etiquette from evange- list Dibar Apartian. Mr. Apartian explained that etiquette is more a mat- ter of being considerate of others than of which fork to use. He fielded students’ questions on etiquette and solved the great fork dilemma by discussing dif- ferences between American and European dining.

Festival ‘86 The Feast of Tabernacles fell after mid-term examinations in October, providing a timely respite from class- work. Ambassador students dispersed to 59 Feast sites in 28 countries around the world. For the 67 students who remained on campus, coupled with those visit- ing from Big Sandy, the Feast was an opportunity to serve. Students as- sisted in preparing for every banquet, reception and activity scheduled for the more than 4,000 brethren attend- ing the Pasadena Feast site. “This was the first time I’d worked behind the scenes at a Feast,” recalled one freshman. “At first I didn’t think I was going to like working during the Feast, but as it turned out, I never enjoyed a feast so much.” Busy Autumn Days November was one of Ambas- sador’s busiest months. It began with Activity Night, when more than half the student body competed in various PASADENA CALENDAR 165 team and individual sports, and ended with Thanksgiving break, which for many meant another ex- odus to Camp River Glen for an ex- tended, four-day weekend. In between were perhaps the fall’s most popular events — Turnabout Weekend, when asking for dates be- comes the ladies’ responsibility, and the annual Thanksgiving Ball. The theme for Thanksgiving Ball, sponsored by the senior class, was “With Grateful Hearts: An Original Celebration.” During intermission the seniors provided entertainment at Ambassador Auditorium, and Deputy Chancellor Raymond McNair read a proclamation from U.S. President Ronald Reagan declaring a National Day of Thanksgiving. Mr. McNair also announced that John Bosse, 25, from Farmington Hills, Michigan, had been appointed freshman class president. “J heard Mr. McNair say ‘Farm- ington Hills,’ and I knew then that it was me,” said Mr. Bosse. “I was so excited I didn’t even hear him say my name.” Shabbat Shalom The Ambassador College Chorale’s winter concert, offering musical selec- tions from “Fiddler on the Roof,” drew full houses to Ambassador Au- ditorium for the Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon performances. With end-of-semester examinations looming, Chorale members balanced rehearsals with extra study, classes, work and sleep in a juggling act as precarious as literally fiddling on a roof. “But it was worth it,” said junior Linda Hirschler. “It’s rewarding to do it for an audience as receptive as the one we had. It’s what we’re here for. When you put together some- thing as a team and see it come to- gether the way it did, it makes it worth it.” The performance required several set changes, during which, for the benefit of the audience, the curtains remained open. Peter Eddington, technical coordinator of the Audito- rium, designed the set — a two-story house that spun 180 degrees to change from an interior to a exterior setting. The Chorale also performed “Fid- dler” in San Francisco and the Napa Valley region during winter break. lt6 PASADENA CALENDAR SCENES FROM FIDDLER — Darwin Keesee and Mike Limanni drink L’Chatim to life.

At the camps in Australia and New Zealand most of the students served as counselors, while the others worked on producing the camp news- paper, the Y.O.U. Summer Times. It was the first time a camp newspaper had been produced in New Zealand. In New Zealand the students toured the country after S.E.P. had ended. While in a restaurant they spotted the Prime Minister, Mr. Lange, introduced themselves and had a photograph taken with the New Zealand leader. Beginning at 5:30 a.m. January 1, 1987, senior Roger Brandon and other Ambassador students roamed among the mass of humanity choking Pasadena streets for the annual Tour- nament of Roses Parade. By noon, Roger had sold more programs than anyone else, accounting for 268 of the 13,100 Parade programs Ambas- sador students sold to raise money for the student activity fund. By parking cars, selling concessions along the parade route and during the Rose Bowl game, and, most espe- cially, selling programs, students raised more than $25,000 for activi- ties. S.E.P.

About 220 students and faculty members, including a few first-time skiers, left before sunrise for Mountain High Ski Resort in Wrightwood, about two hours from campus. A shallow base with sparse patches of grass made for conditions compared to “skiing on mashed potatoes,” but this failed to deter the skiers, who got their rentals’ worth by spending six hours on the slopes before returning to Pasadena. The rest of the student body, about 400, spent the day in Big Bear, coasting on inner tubes down a slope covered with man-made snow, or bobsledding down an alpine slide. Commented one senior, “The conditions weren’t so great, but just getting out with everybody still made it a lot of fun.” COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN — Randy Zacharias wheels down an alpine slide while several stu- dents form an inner-tube train (top).

BA’'NQUET Talk of the Town The annual Sophomore Ball and Speech Banquet was Febru- ary’s “Talk of the Town.” | Each Ambassador Club and Women’s Club selected a repre- sentative to compete in the speak-off semifinals. From the 12 men and 11 women semifinalists, seniors Tim Nielander and Kim Kuykendall and sophomores Paul Brown and Debra Par- rish advanced to present their speeches at the banquet. Debra Parrish recounted how she came to understand and appreciate the benefits of growing up in God’s Church. Paul Brown described how encouragement helped an Englishman overcome an American enigma — basketball. Kim Kuyk- endall’s speech, “Life in a Small Southern Town,” was tailored to her Arkansas accent. And Tim Nielander, who compared the accomplishments of Time magazine’s “Men of the Year” since 1932 with those of Herbert W. Armstrong, suggested to the founder of Time, “Mr. Luce, Sir, You Missed One.” After everyone enjoyed a dinner of fruit salad, chicken- kabobs, rice, cherry pie and wine, the sophomore class turned the Ambassador Auditorium mall into a 1920s sideshow. After an hour of °20s entertainment and old-fashioned ice cream, the crowd returned to the Student Center for an evening of dancing. Worth the Wait In March, the freshmen made their first class trip to Camp River Glen that was well worth the six-month wait. Consider- ing the sub-freezing temperatures at night, most chose to sleep either in cabins or on the floor of the lodge. A light snowfall began as the last embers of Saturday night’s bonfire died out and students turned in for the night. By daylight, the ground was blanketed with five inches of snow, prompting a full-scale Sunday morning snowball fight. Despite hazardous road conditions on the mountain highways, the class returned to Pasadena without incident.

Among the costumed dancers at the Freshmen Dance were (bottom, left to right) Eddy Stephens, Susan Thomas, Clayton Groom, Grant Richards, and Mique Germano. The trip to River Glen was the first event of a busy month for the freshmen. March ended with the freshmen costume dance, “On Broadway,” featuring entertainment and attire inspired by Broadway musicals. Among those awarded for best individual costumes were ju- nior Clayton Groom for his rendition of Sir Lancelot and his steed, and senior Stephanie Karnafel, who dressed as Little Orphan An- - nie. Winning awards for best group costumes were Ambassador’s version of the Family Von Trapp, for whom Teresa Meisner stitched to- gether matching attire, and the Brick Broth- ers (Brad Reed, Dean O’Connor and Doug Orban), whose costume idea came from the song, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” Break — From the Normal For students who remained on campus, Spring Break was anything but a break, ex- cept for the seniors and sophomores, who got away for a final class trip before graduation. Most students, however, worked eight-hour days on campus — to pay off their college bills — and then still had homework to catch up on at nights. PASADENA CALENDAR ki For members of the College Chorale, spring break represented the culmination of weeks of work. The combined College and Pasadena Church Chorale gave two weekend performances on ” April 18-19 of “Israel in Egypt,” appropriately selected for the Passover season. The Saturday night and Sunday afternoon con- certs featured sopranos Ingrid Helge and Celestine Olive, contralto Terry Henson, tenor William Daniels and baritones Gerald Bieritz and Tim O’Connor. On the Road Again Near the end of spring break, the seniors spent three days and two nights, April 22-24, in Palm Springs, a resort city about 100 miles east of Pasadena. The class stayed at a motel near Mt. San Jacinto. On Wednesday night the seniors enjoyed a cocktail recep- tion around the motel pool. Thursday, the class rode the tram to the top of the San Jacinto trail, where they were treated to a meal of chicken, prime rib and barbecue ribs. The seniors returned to campus on Friday, the same day the sophomores left for a weekend at River Glen. FROGS, LICE, FLIES — The combined Pasadena Church and Ambassador College chorales, directed by Fohn Schroeder, performed Handel’s “Israel in Egypt” during the Spring Holy Days (above).

Swimmers, Take Your Mark A special feature, a 50-yard freestyle race between the four class presidents, was added to the swim meet in May. Freshman president John Bosse nudged out Matt Fenchel, his junior counterpart, for first place, foreshadowing how the freshmen class overall squeezed past its upper-class competition. Inspired by their victory in the men’s 100-yard medley, in which Jim Blackwell anchored the freshmen to a slim triumph, the freshmen totaled 93 points to 89 for the seniors, 81 for the sophomores and 69 for the juniors. During the meet, junior Stacey Cole swam the 100-yard freestyle in 1:03.6, breaking by 4.2 seconds a record that had stood since 1974. Sophomore Susan Shigehara equaled the existing record in the women’s 50-yard freestyle. Stacey, who also finished first in the 50-yard butterfly and 500-yard freestyle, was named the most outstanding swim- mer among the women. Senior Mike Pe- terson, who finished first in the 50-yard butterfly, the 100-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke, was hon- ored as most outstanding swimmer among the men. PASADENA CALENDAR I] Cloud cover that lasted for two weeks in May hid the sun just as Ambassador planned another mi- gration to Huntington Beach for an end-of-the-year beach party. But to look at the horde of students who encamped on an acre of sand that day, you wouldn’t have known it. Since the weather wasn’t conduciv e to sunbathing and the briskness of the ocean water kept all but a bold few from enter- ing, students spent time playing sand football, beach volleyball or basketball on a nearby asphalt court. Others surfed, tossed a frisbee or walked along the beach. Of course, considering that final examina- tions were a mere three days away, many used the time to study for upcoming tests. “Td already been studying for a week,” said Simone Lovett, a sophomore from Australia, “and the beach is always a great place to wind down, so when you get back to campus, you’re ready to hit it again.” THE FRESHMEN had plenty of grit and determination in the Pull-for-Peace. Unfortu- nately for them, however, the seniors had a little more strength. THE LAST WALTZ — Seniors Bob Bapst and Lisa Derstine share a moment with Mr. Tkach at the Senior Dinner (above).

It began with entertainment in Ambassador Auditorrum, where the junior class put on a musical skit that took the seniors on a memo- rable trip through their four years at Ambas- sador. Later, the audience walked to the up- per campus, through Ambassador Hall and into the Academic Center mall, which was impressively prepared for an elegant evening outdoors. The band played until midnight on a revolving stage constructed over the center fountain. Refreshments were served on the fringes of the Italian Gardens, where tables and chairs were set up for those who wished to relax between dances. “One thing that was special to me was that at our first year at college, we were led through Ambassador Hall by Mr. Armstrong to our first dance at the freshman reception,” recalled senior Lisa Derstine. “And we ended our college career the same way — walking through Ambassador Hall just as we had done four years ago.” At Grad Brunch for graduating seniors and their families, the senior class presented Chancellor Joseph W. Tkach with an encased replica of the pearl-handled pistol worn by U.S. General George Patton. Later that day, Mr. Tkach presented gradu- ates with their degrees — 27 Associate of Science and 74 Associate of Arts degrees to graduating sophomores, and 173 Bachelor of Arts degrees to seniors. In his final address Mr. Tkach reminded them that “Peace is more than a word, it’s a way of life.” “In facing life’s tasks and the chal- lenges that we’re going to be con- fronted with head-on, we need to, as a family, be united in love and har- mony.” Mr. Tkach said that something is lacking in the world’s education. “To put it simply, mankind has thrown away the basic textbook of true education — the Bible. Human- ity then fired the administrator — God Himself — and rewrote the cur- riculum, which is God’s laws. And fi- nally, man rejected the one teacher — Jesus Christ — capable of teach- ing a course of instruction that would educate man in the way of peace, success and happiness. “Ambassador College was estab- lished on God’s revealed knowledge,” he said. His message was reminiscent of his first address of the year, when Mr. Tkach emphasized that Ambassador was a training ground for individual excellence and an academy for world peace. It was a fitting ending to Ambas- sador’s College’s 40th year.O AMBASSADOR’S four-year graduates are joined by family members for Grad Brunch (top).

The two served as counselors for the campers during the 10-day trip, ac- companied by Dean of Students Greg Albrecht, who directed the program, and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Robertson. For three days the campers, joined by some German brethren, skied at Saalbach, one of Europe’s renowned ski resorts. During the remaining days they toured the nearby cities of Salzburg and Munich, West Ger- many. At Munich, the campers vis- ited the BMW plant and Dachau, a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. After the W.E.P. session, Mr. Al- brecht visited Ambassador Foundation projects in Jordan, Thailand and Sri Lanka.

Armstrong often said that the two sister campuses, Pasadena and Big Sandy, mutu- ally excelled one another. Whereas Pasadena is noted for its stately build- ings and exquisite landscape, Big Sandy is acclaimed for its natural beauty and rolling countryside. Before the Big Sandy campus opened in 1964, the area had been a site for the Feast of Tabernacles. Only a few build- ings were available for the College to use. Since then, employees and students have worked to complement the natural scenery of the 1,600-acre campus. When Big Sandy constructed eight dormitories in 1964-65, a local architect was awarded for his design. The Field House, once used for the Feast of Taber- nacles, was renovated to include a din- ing hall, offices, a gymnasium and a home economics center. Two man-made it streams enhanced the setting’s natural beauty. The result of years of construc- tion and renovation is a campus that re- flects the beauty and quality which Am- bassador demands.

The environments in which he and Mr. Petty work, however, are very different. Nestled on more than 1,600 acres of East Texas countryside, Big Sandy is blessed with more than enough room for its three softball diamonds, a separate field for soccer, courts for tennis and racquetball, two gymnasiums, a running track, a nine-hole golf course and acres to accommodate the department's extensive cycling program. What makes the athletic program so rewarding, however, is not the size of the facilities but the principle behind the activities. The major objective is to provide students with recreation while developing skill, fitness and, above all, character. “We try to ensure that the athletic program con- tributes to both the physical and spiritual welfare of the participants,” said Mr. Norman. ‘‘We feel that athletics should not be an end in themselves, but should enhance every other area of life.” Because of Big Sandy’s expansive facilities, the physical education department is able to offer a wide variety of sports on campus. Included are basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer, cross country running, track and field and cycling. Individual sports such as racquetball, tennis and golf are included as well. While most students are able to participate in at least one sport, many are involved in more. To accommodate the large number of interested stu- dents, 30 athletic events are held during the year — fl four soccer matches, eight softball games, eight el basketball games, eight volleyball matches, a 5-kilo- all meter run and the annual track and field day. il “Athletics are very much a part of Ambassador : College,” said Mr. Norman. “It really has a place in 1M all aspects of college life.’’o FACULTY MEMBERS Larry Haworth (14) and Jim Keesee make things difficult for sophomore Rick Maddy.

First there was the Blue team, coached by faculty member Larry Haworth, running off to a 10-2 lead by the end of the sixth inning. Then came the Gold, rallying for two runs in the seventh and an- other four in the eighth to draw within two runs, 10-8, before the final inning. An insurance run in the top of the ninth on an RBI single by Mike Williams extended Blue’s advantage to 11-8, but that lead would seem as fragile as china before the inning ended. Gold began its last chance harmlessly enough, bouncing two grounders that Blue converted into two easy outs. But then came back-to-back singles by sophomore Dave Bapst and faculty member Ken Tate, followed by a walk to Dean of Students Richard Thompson that loaded the bases. With the tying run at first base, however, the last batter grounded to shortstop for the third and final out. Like the all-star game, the regular season cham- pion wasn’t determined until the season’s final out. Although Rodger Cutter’s Team Two and the Fac- ulty finished with identical 5-3 records, Team Two, by virtue of its two victories over the faculty, finished on top of the league standings. The women’s league, comprised of three teams, was not without its drama. Not until Pe nny Braun’s Team Three won its final game, improving their record to 3-1, were they assured of a first-place finish. Darcy Derrick’s Team One finished in second place at 2-2, followed by Marlene Myers’ Team Two at 1-3. it IT’S A HIT — Catcher Steve Ellison watches in vain ai as Mike McMorris’ pitch is belted into center field | (right).

Tradition is hard to break, however, and 40 fresh- men couldn't break this one. Once again the faculty won, 64-58, preserving their unbeaten streak for at | least another year.

BIG SANDY SPORTS 33 VOLE All-Star Games Conclude Season Characterized By Student Participation ore than one-third of Big Sandy’s students played intramural volleyball. Considering the drama _ sur- rounding the men’s and women’s all-star matches that followed the regular season, is there any won- der why? Both matches were decided by 3-1 game scores, which hardly reflects how close these contests re- ally were. In the men’s match, Cory Erickson’s White team came from behind in two of the three games they won, defeating Rodger Cutter’s Blue team 16- 14, 9-15, 15-9 and 15-13. The White team was behind by five points in game one before rallying to a 12-12 tie. In game four, White trailed virtually the entire game before coming behind to close out the match. For the women, Darcy Derrick’s Blue team, trail- ing 15-14 in game one, eventually won both the game and the match, 17-15, 15-6, 16-18, 15-9. With Laura Cook’s Red team one point away from win- ning the first game, the Blues won the next four points, first forcing a side-out to regain the serve, then scoring three straight points to win, 17-15. In game three, it was the Red team who, with their backs to the wall, forged a remarkable comeback.

Sophomore Hedie Barton then served five consecutive points, staking the Reds to a 15-14 lead. After the Blue team regained the lead, 16-15, the Reds fought off match point and scored three straight to win the game, 18-16. With Red unable to stage another rally in game four, Blue concluded the match, 15-9. During the regular season, 18 men’s and women’s teams were divided into four leagues. David Rosen- thal’s Blue team, after losing its opening match to the Faculty, won its next seven matches to win the men’s A-league. Sam Waian’s Team Four won the B-league with a 5-1 record. Laura Cook’s Green team finished on top of the women’s A-league standings with a 7-1 record, and Ann Baker’s Team One was unbeaten in the B-league.o SIDE OUT — Sophomore Tim Achtemichuk’s spike is cut short by faculty member Larry Haworth (right).

Not surprisingly, Tom and Lori had a hand in breaking two of the five Big Sandy records that fell. Tom ran the mile in 4:20.85, eclipsing the 18-year- old record set by Garvin Greene in 1969. He also finished first in the 880-yard run and the 5K run, a new event for Big Sandy. Lori finished first in the 100-yard dash, the 220- yard dash and the high jump, an event in which she’d never competed before. She also helped the freshmen establish a new record in the 440-yard relay with a time of 56.40. Sophomore Dave Bapst broke his own record in the 120-yard high hurdles (17:30) and Marlene Myers, also a sophomore, established a new record in the 100-yard low hurdles (15.0). Freshman Susan Slack gave the freshmen their third record of the day with a shot put of 35’6”. The freshmen men held their own against the sophomores, winning eight of the 16 events, and the women made the difference in the final score. Al- though the freshmen women won only four of the 10 track events, they captured all but one of the five field events. After the meet, Tom and Lori were presented awards as the outstanding male and female athletes of the day.o li PHOTO FINISH — Matt Stapleton lunges for the tape El} ahead of freshman Jeff Chandler, giving the sopho- j more class a victory in the mile relay with a time of Bl 3:40.95 (right).

Season Satiates Appetite Among Internationals For | World's No.7 Sport i hat would intramural sports be like without the aa world’s most popular sport? Soccer is alive and well ty on the East Texas campus, satiating the athletic Fla appetite of many international students. I “We feel we need to provide for them,” said Gil Norman, head of the physical education department, citing the need to accommodate foreign students with ‘‘an intramural sport they could relate to.” There was no lack of enthusiasm on the day of tryouts, which drew not only internationals, but a few Americans as well. There was, however, a shortage of experienced players. Nonetheless, the intramural soccer league was formed, even if it was composed of only two teams. Sophomores Steve Clark and Radford Arner were appointed captains of the two teams, which played once a week during the month of September. After four matches, Steve Clark’s team finished with a one-match edge, having won two, lost one and tied one.o eo aati ti re 2 ws a gpa eae GN PF GEIS ; atk ¢ , od ie gaia Shincchitee ie toa ee ee ee ate os .

One cyclist sips from his plastic water bottle. Another cools himself by squirting a little water through the crevices in his helmet. Picking up speed as they head downhill, they revel in the exhilaration as the wind whips against their faces. The cyclists are participating in one of the most strenuous and rewarding physical education classes offered at Ambassador College, Big Sandy. Under the direction of intramural director Larry Haworth, cycling students meet twice a week for approxi- mately two hours and tour the winding roads of East Texas. They spend the first week adjusting to the basics of “team touring,’ a term coined by the physical education department to describe its unique cycling program. “It’s a combination of individual touring and team racing,’ said Mr. Haworth, who has helped train more than 3,000 students — either from the Coll ege or during S.E.P. camps — since the program’s inception in 1971. “We know of no one else in the nation who does it the way we do.” After students are fitted to 10-speed bikes and helmets, they are introduced to the basic skills of changing gears, braking and changing in and out of double- and single-file lines. At first, they cycle be- (Continued on page 246) PACED BY Grant Chick and Eric Lyons, a cycling pack heads down Heartbreak Hill (right).

From then on, the class cycles off campus on the paved highways, averaging about 15 to 20 miles a day. Advanced cycling students usually head the packs of six to eight cyclists. While traveling in double lines, the front two break the headwind and the back two watch for vehicles approaching from the rear. However, everyone is responsible for calling out any potential hazard, such as loose gravel or potholes. Mr. Haworth might begin class on a typical 90-de- gree Texas day by telling the cyclists, ‘““Today’s ride will be typical — flat and downhill with the wind at your back.” Of course, it never is. Instead, the endurance and patience of each cyclist is put to the test. What once seemed like a relatively flat land- scape becomes a series of challenging hills. “It’s tough when you get tired, but all that beauti- ful countryside and fresh air makes it worth your while,” said Janet Black, an alumnus of Big Sandy’s cycling program. When Mr. Haworth and Kermit Nelson instituted the cycling program in Big Sandy, the class equip- ment consisted of a variety of three-speed, 10- speed and balloon-tired bicycles. “‘We wanted to experiment with a wholesome, challenging, lifetime sport,”’ said Mr. Haworth. Since then, team touring has become more re- fined, and has opened up a number of travel oppor- tunities to its participants. In the past few years, the College has offered team-touring trips throughout the southwest United States, and in 1985 it spon- sored a 525-mile trek across New Zealand. This year interested students went on a two-day, 50-mile trip near Austin, Texas’ capital. “So many values, so many character traits can be learned from cycling — unity, aan coopera- tion,” said Gil Norman, head of Big Sandy’s physical education department. “‘It’s like a mini-society in itself. It's a very positive way to develop the right kind of character.’’o FIRST GEAR — In packs of five to eight cyclists, Big Sandy's team touring class trains on the winding cam- pus roads (right).

Chancellor Joseph W. Tkach announced in April 1986 that the Big Sandy campus would remain open, reviving the hopes and dreams it of hundreds who aspired to attend Ambassador. By the time school be- li gan in mid-August, enthusiasm had reached a peak. From the outset, it was evident Big Sandy would have a dynamic year. Off and Running Freshmen dressed in tuxedos and formals assembled in the Festival Administration Building to mix with the faculty and to meet Pastor Gen- eral Joseph W. Tkach at the annual Freshman Reception August 18. During the reception, freshmen were served hors d’oeuvres by senior leaders. A dance in the dining hall followed, providing an opportunity for the freshmen to mix with sophomores as well. Music was provided by a student dance band led by faculty member Marty Yale. Mr. Tkach spoke to the student body the following day, stressing the importance of the education students were about to receive, as well as the unity that everyone on campus should strive to achieve. That evening, 40 anxious freshmen attempted to break the faculty’s perfect record at the traditional freshman-faculty basketball game. Each ra of the 40 got his chance to play in one of the eight five-minute periods. fi However, in the end, the faculty kept its unbeaten record intact. Registration began Wednesday, August 20, and continued through Au- gust 22. At a women’s club dinner Wednesday night, the female stu- dents were introduced to the club directors, presidents and officers. Dur- ing the meeting, Dean of Students Richard Thompson encouraged the ladies to develop true feminine leadership. So began what Deputy Chancellor Roderick Meredith called “one of the best starts Pve seen in my many years at Ambassador.” Pursuing Trivia At the end of orientation week, Big Sandy’s student body and faculty crowded into the dining hall Saturday night, August 23, for the Fresh- men Welcome Party. Student Body President Cory Erickson kicked off the activities with a challenging game of group trivia. Questions like “What is the number of whiskers on an average man?” and “Which letter of the alphabet is written on hot water pipes in France?” per- plexed many in the audience. Afterward, students adjourned to eat banana splits. The evening’s highlight was the announcement by Dr. Meredith that Mr. David Hulme and former Big Sandy Dean of Students Larry Salyer had been ordained to the rank of evangelist. The students responded with a hearty round of applause. A slide show of orientation gave students a chance to review the busy events of their first week, and to catch a glimpse of what was to come. The show ended as David Bilowus played and sang “Here’s to You, Big Sandy,” which he and sophomore Brian Boldt composed. Cory dismissed the students around 11 p.m., urging everyone to “Keep up the enthusiasm!” 148 BIG SANDY CALENDAR Pec eae On the Brink Cloudy skies and the threat of rain didn’t pre- vent students and faculty from gathering on the beach at Lake Loma Sunday, August 24, for one last activity before classes began. Students ate, swam and mingled until 4:20 p.m., when the lake and beach were cleared be- cause of what seemed to be an approaching storm. The crowd received only a slight sprin- kling, however, and in an hour they were back on the beach. After-dinner activities included a water balloon- tossing contest, a frisbee-throwing accuracy con- test, and the traditional sophomore-freshmen “Pull-of-Peace.” The freshmen won two out of three pulls.

BIG SANDY CALENDAR 149 In One Accord Striving to develop dorm unity and help students become better ac- quainted, brother and sister dorms held dorm parties on successive weekends in September. Varied themes from outlandish to nostalgic set the stage for each party. Dorms one through four held their parties Saturday night, September 13. Students from men’s dorm one and women’s dorm one turned the beach at Lake Loma into “Gilligan’s Is- land,” and all dressed accordingly. Dorm two opted for an evening out at the Counter T op restaurant in Longview. The red lounge of women’s dorm three was transformed into a kindercollege, or “Little Red Schoolhouse.” “Coming Alive in the 50s” was the theme of dorm four’s party. Students dressed in bobby socks and leather jackets and danced to °50s tunes. Dorms five through seven in Booth City held their parties the following Saturday night. Dorm five created a “Home Sweet Home” atmosphere in Booth City Lounge. Students played the piano, played cards and watched “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” The “Treasure Island” theme of dorm six’s party found students dressed in Polynesian attire and hunt- ing for hidden treasure. Dorm seven launched its party in the Festival Ad- ministration Building with a theme of “Robinson Crusoe” and an evening of entertainment, games and dancing. BLINDFOLD GAMES livened up this dorm party (bottom). Workers replace the roof of the Roy Hammer Library (left). Moonlight Movie Outdoor movie night on September 27 found Big Sandy students stretched out under the stars on Lake Loma’s beach. Students helped them- selves to popcorn and sodas, or sipped hot apple cider as they watched Jerry Lewis in “The Disor- derly Orderly.” After the film, students roasted marshmallows on the beach and treated themselves to other goodies. Fine Tuning Men’s and Women’s club seminars were held on a stormy Thursday evening, September 25,-in the Sci- ence Lecture Hall and Festival Ad- ministration Building, respectively.

You never know who'll be on the other end of the line. When freshman Jeff Hutcheson an- swered a WATS line call on Tuesday, September 2, he expected it to be rou- tne. “This 3s Mary Hutcheson,” the caller said. “Pm a member of the Nashville church...” “Mom!” Jeff yelled, startling the other operators in the room. Among the hundreds of operators who man the telephone lines each week, Jeff’s mother beat the odds by catching her mother for a little while, but knew he had a job to do. Mrs. Hutcheson wanted to talk more, but settled for ordering the pamphlet The Authority of the Bible. Jeffs sister needed it for a class in school. “Ma’am, your booklet should reach you in about four weeks,” Jeff con cluded, adding the standard closing; “Thank you for calling.” Freshman James Newsome was in a quandary. The tree crew’s pet gopher got loose Sunday morning, ebruary 15, and was stumbling blindly about the Jandscaping office. James tried unsuc- cessfully to catch the animal before en- listing the aid of some handy custodi- ans. Sophomore Aldis Strautins and fresh- men Marie Kennedy and Mike Screen were going through their usual Sunday morning routine, cleaning the landscap- ing department’s junchroom, when ames asked for their help. The three decided to have a look. Marie, from New Zealand, had never seen a gopher, and didn’t quite know what to expect. She anxiously watched as Aldis, clad in leather gloves, strug- gled to corner the animal. Suddenly the gopher froze, stared Marie down, an then, with mouth wide open, rap to- ward her revealing inch-long teeth. Marie shrieked, and in a panic at- tempted to climb the shelving on the office wall. But the unstable structure came crashing down, carrying Marie with it. No worse for wear and still screaming, Marie perched herself atop a desk. Meanwhile, the confused g0- pher dropped pursuit and tried to eS cape Aldis’ desperate grasps. Finally Aldis seized the frightened gopher, but couldn't resist teasing Marie with it before returning it to the cage. “I was really surprised she was SO frightened of it,” he said. “The animals are almost blind in daylight and rela- tively harmless.” Marie, nonetheless, was not con- vinced. campus clean. “And another thing,” he concluded. “Stay away from that Rick Scenic Route Some students flew home for winter break. Others drove. Freshman Chris Rochelle rode his bike. Chris, accompanied by loyal compan- ions Paul Vinson and Didier Richoux, both freshmen, set out December 30 on a cold cycling trip to Chris? home in Houston, Texas. The three cycled 30 miles the first day and spent the night under the stars in Nacagdoches. Chris’ parents then met the three cyclists the next day about 30 miles from Houston and drove them home. That way they avoided spending another night in the cold. According to Chris, there was 10 particular reason for the trip. He had never cycled that distance before, but cycling home was something he wanted to do since he came to Ambas- sador. He had not, however, anticipated all the saddle sores. Creative ways to finish term papers never cease — especially with this year’s sophomore class. Rick Maddy and Matt King slaved over typewriters one evening at the Facilities Ma nage ment building, preparing papers for Donald Ward on Ten of the Basic Ques- tions of Life and for Roderick Meredith’s Epistles of Paul class. The two-finger typing method may have worked for some, but not for these two. It was taking them three hours a Gone With the Wind The eleventh basic question of life: Why do strange things happen? Sophomore Mark Johnston and freshman Sue White were returning to Big Sandy after a pleasant Thanksgiv- ing in Oklahoma City. Mark, ever re- sourceful, was driving while dictating his paper for Fundamentals of Theol- ogy to Sue, who sat beside him with two Bibles, several books and a stack of papers on her lap. After a brief excursion down a wind- ing country road, Mark drove on to the freeway, but Sue didn’t think to roll up | the window to her car door. “Sud- denly,” Mark explained, “ ‘The Nature of God’ sailed out the window at 40 miles an hour.” “The Nature of God, of course, is the first of the Ten Basic | Questions of Life, the theme of his term | ge. Freshman Heather Brown, working custodial that evening, Kept poking her head in to check on their progress. Finally Rick asked her, “Do you know how to type?” “A little bit,” she answered. “Fifty words a minute.” That was good enough for Rick, who promptly traded his typewriter for Heather’s vacuum cleaner. “Just show me where to go,” Rick said. Heather neatly typed the pages while Rick cleaned house. Ambling down- stairs with his vacuum cleaner, he ran into Heather’s crew chief, Brad Plum- ee: “Where'd you get that vacuum cleaner?” Mr. Plumlee asked. “And where’s Heather?” “She’s upstairs typing my Epistles of Paul paper,” Rick responded matter of factly. Mr. Plumlee went upstairs and con- fronted Heather with the vacuum cleaner. Consequently, Heather started cleaning again and Rick returned to his paper.

Students touring the dorms during Open House no- ticed that men’s and women’s dorms differed widely in decor. Several men commented that the women’s dorms were not only immaculate, but reflected creativ- ity and personality. “T felt like a bull in a china shop,” said freshman Monty Bobo. The mystery of those unusual metal barracks was finally revealed when Booth City opened for show the following Sunday. Many students living in dormitories noted the coziness and privacy Booth City residents enjoy. Following Open House, students enjoyed hamburg- ers and fries in the dining hall, along with a video presentation of Open House activities. Who, Me?! Having promised to name a freshman class presi- dent before Thanksgiving, Dean of Students Richard Thompson appointed Scott Herridge to the position during assembly on Thursday, November 25. “T was in shock,” said Scott, 19, from Dunlap, Illi- nois, after the announcement. “It’s a big responsibil- ity,” he said, “but Pm no big person. I take this as an opportunity for us (the freshman class) to serve together.” Abundance and Prosperity The preliminary rustle of a long dress and the quick adjustment of a bow tie marked the beginning of the first major social event of the year — Thanks- giving Ball. Greeting the students and faculty who stepped into the dining hall were murals of the patriarch Abraham, fireworks, pilgrim-style haystacks and, off to the side, an ongoing slide show. The theme “Land Flowing with Milk and Honey” was perhaps most evident at the food table. Heaps of baklava, fresh fruit, mints and shortbread poured out from a giant cornucopia at the end of the table. Ambassador College’s 11-piece brass band, headed by faculty members Marty Yale and Randy Duke, struck up the first dance of the evening. They were enclosed in the “Sabine Queen” steamboat, named af- ter the Sabine River flowing close to the Big Sandy campus. Entertainment included sophomore David Bilowus’ directing the choir in a version of “America the Beau- tiful.” This finale left the audience feeling “inspired,” as Academic Dean Dr. Donald Ward later com- mented.

The Table is Turned Is turnabout fair play? Big Sandy students got the chance to find out dur- ing turnabout weekend, December 12-13. Turnabout weekend is an annual event where the women of Ambassador have the chance to invite the men of their choice on a date. Whether for Friday night Bible Study, Saturday Sabbath services or some specially planned activity, the event-filled weekend of- fers plenty of dating options. So the women asked, and the men accepted, but it wasn’t aS easy as it sounds. The women learned not only how hard it is to ask, but how hard it can be to find someone without a date already. A chorale concert December 13, featuring soloists Roger Bryant, senior David Lacasse and sophomore David Bilowus, added a special touch to the weekend.

Produced and published by Academic Publications, Ambassador College, Pasadena, California. From the Staff: To present a comprehensive pictorial record of Ambassador College's 40 years, as we have tried to do with the 1987 Envoy, is virtually impossible. We could not hope to include every significant happening from Ambassador's eventful past, or make mention of every person who has had a significant influence on the College. What we have tried to offer is some insight as to why Ambassador College is the way it is, and to give readers a look at some of the men and women who, under God's inspiration, have helped make Ambassador different from any other college on earth. Furthermore, we thought it appropriate not to dwell too heavily on the past, lest we neglect the importance of Ambassador's 40th anniversary year. In the Bible, the number 40 is one of trial and testing. Ambassador has stood the test. Also, Joseph W. Tkach, the successor to founder Herbert W. Armstrong, began his first full year as chancellor in August 1986. Of course, The Envoy could not have been completed without the assistance of many, to whom we offer our thanks: — Chancellor Joseph W. Tkach, not only for his input into The Envoy, but also for the inspiring example he set for the administration, faculty and students of Ambassador College. — Deputy Chancellor Raymond F. McNair, who helped assure that The Envoy reflects Ambassador College's educational philosophy. — Dr. David Albert, Melvin Allen, Shane Bazer, John Bearse, Janet Black, Sarah Brown, Beth Chaney, Erin Chapman, Jana Clark, Ken Gillen, Don Gordon, Clayton Groom, Big Gus, John Halford, Katie Harrigan, Kenneth Herrmann, Rose Huff, Jack Jackson, Jim Little, Joe Locke, Simone Lovett, Teresa Mastin, Diane McNair, Brien Metcalf, Semira Mirafsari, Peter Moore, Jackiie Nelson, Jim Petty, Unchalee Rimando, J.D.
