A man of strong personal charisma his death from a heart attack December 30 1963 shocked the cam- pus. The first president to die in office his loss touched the hearts of students and faculty alike. William Landeen returned for the shortest presidential term served on this campus. During this interim ad- ministration La Sierra s first Student Missionary Larry Veverka returned from I-long Kong. The next school year opened with David Bieber the buildingest presi- dent of them all. He started with a new college market that September and continued the next year by remodeling and enlarging the cafeteria and adding the Student Center and Lounge in its basement. Under his impetus plans were drawn up to offer independent graduate programs in French Physics Business Home Economics English and Chemistry. In 1966 construction of Sierra Towers began only to be halted by union pickets in the fall. Work con- tinued after the school obtained an in- junction against the union. 1967 proved to be a year of great significance for La Sierra College. It began with the com- pletion of Sierra Towers and ended with the ground being broken for the Con- sumer Related Science building. But the big event was the merger with Loma Linda University on July first. Nearly forty-five years after its humble begin- nings this institution lost its identity to Loma Linda University - we were swallowed up into the largest educa- tional conglomerate in Seventh-Day Adventdom! Bieber still maintained his presidency but now he governed both campuses. In order to ease the growing weight of administration responsibility he gained an assistant when a lanky Scandinavian V. Norskov Olsen became the La Sierra Campus Provost in 1972. In 1968 the CRS building was com- pleted along with the Behavioral Sciences Building - the old college market reborn. That year also marked the organization of the School of Education. During the next two years a new agricultural building was con- structed. Early in 1971 a spade turned the first ground for the library. Two and a half years later students wandered searching for a needed reference the new library probably had what they were searching for - somewhere. As the library arose construction crews erected the Alumni Pavilion in 1972 putting the final touches on the Physical Education Plant. JF' ,par lit. .M :-g.- 1.-. ..- Y .if .

Seen here is the lob- by of Angwin Hall and a men's Dorm room. Again, decor and dress has changed. !l ri 'I i I i I . :J ,, i I N4 if 4,Iy ,C ff' -'E i ii. vi 1
