Second, you gain a stack of old pap- ers. notes, tests, and notrto-forget, valuable textbooks, unless. of course, you have already tossed them all to the four winds. You also obtain during the year an ID card tsee page 38t or two, depending on how many replaeements you had made before you found the ones you had thought you lost. Also, you should have a heatsup Mask, and a stack of Collegians with which to help pack your belongings for home tmight I add that your Collcgians deserve hetterl. Furthermore, you are likely to come across a couple of ugly green cereal bowls and other institutional items used for eating at Clydeis place. Fi- nally. you have memories. You will remember what you felt were the most entertaining 0r inspira- tional programs; a lyceum, a Friday night vespers, OPS Amateur hour, or a special Week of Prayer. You will re- member dropping in for a bite to eat; ice cream at Baskin-Rohhins, a bagel at the SAC. a donut or two from Win- chells tif they had anyl, pizza at Ah- hy's, or french fries at McDonalds. There were a million things you said and did, some of which you will forget, some of which you have al ready forgotten. Those which you will be least likely to forget are the people, students and faculty.

It is these memories that cause us to think so highly of this college. It is only natural to think so much of the place that was our home for nine months of the year, a place where we met new friends and eventually parted with old. It is here that we created memories. and it is the sole purpose of this publication to remind us of those memories. i believe in Walla Walla College. its future, its stu- dents, its supporters...and those memories.

Thus, what follows is my endeavor to embody these thoughts into a specific form. To begin. 1 would like to say that as a senior l have become an ardent supporter of my college. This undy- ing devotion to my college is a mira- cle that seems to take place in every student when they realize that they will soon have to depart from this place. By other students, it is looked upon as a type of collegiate senility. They cannot understand what has transpired to cause us to quit comp- laining about our lot here at Walla Walla College. It is a well-known fact that when in college you complain about most everything, but never very bitterly. This complaining is often more of a social requirement titan a deep felt conviction. To my knowledge, there has never been a riot of any sort, let alone any type of peace march down College Avenue. What i am getting at is that Walla Walla College is a place where, though we may not like the way some things are conducted, we are overall content and pleased with the circumstances in which we find ourselves. From the above mentioned we may conclude that our Alumni are strong supporters of this institution. 1 would like to add that the students are very grateful to the alumni for their sup- port. One sad note to this is that many alumni upon returning to Visit their collegiate homestead find. to their dismay. many changes in rules, at titudes, and surroundings. These Changes are simply a consequence of the passing of time in a constantly Changing world. it should be seen in no way as a degradation of the educa tional system or the spiritual em- phasis underlined for the students; I realize it is hard for many alumni to advocate an institution which may not seem like the school it was, but to the students here and now. it means quite a bit. This is a good educational institution, and it needs the support of all those people whose life it has touched at some time or another. For us now attending this college, we may not always see what this place has to offer. What is apparent is that undergraduate education takes up four years leight in some cases, not to mention any namesl of our lives, and ten of thousands of our moneys. At the end of those years we are given a piece of paper that states that we may quite legitimately hang a BA. or some other B whatever after our John Henry. Therefore, 1 have taken it upon myself to remind you what else you have to gain from a year spent at Walla Walla College. First and what should be the most obvious, you will Obtain a yearbook which, l might add, you will probably CONTRIBUTIONS: Everyone has plenty to say about how things should be done, but not many people actually do those things which everyone has plenty to say about.

Memories, of student program- ming, special guests, academic ad- vances, career and social oppor- tunities, comprise the software of the hardware, called my brain. As one looks at all the dynamics of learning, 1 have observed, he or she views them as the traumas of today; and in the future, memories of the past. Stumbling along at this point in ones college career, it is easy to be reluctant when seeing these days as good ones. But 1 would affirm that they are. A person has only to lift the peris- Cope of perspective to be able to see the relative calm that abides here at WWC. Take for instance some of the Ad- ventist colleges harbored in the land mass we call North America. This year's inordinate share of disarray has been showered on some of their campuses. For this, we do not gloat but simply feel thankful for our good luek-Or better yet, divine providence. Now, planting oneis feet firmly on the hill of objectivity, he must eon- eede that WWC has not sailed a per feet course either. it has endured the turmoil of ASWWC transitions, food service evaluations, accreditation critiques; recommendations and the like. Yet in retrospect, these detours from a straight course are minor. The END button flashes asl near the close of my memory voyage. I thank my brain for the good thoughtseand you, my friends, for making it all hap- pen. Paul Richardson Milwaukie, OR Fashions How about an article on fashions at Walla Walla College? Jeff Maher Portland, OR Just because you asked, see p. 98 . . tEd. T.V. 1 like to watch T.V.. Richard M. Nixon San Clemente, CA Absence of Malice Rumors have been circulating about what a nasty bunch of people we have attending WWC. i would like to set the record straight once and for all. Time will exonerate us. For those who may be watching, now or later, we are not as apathetic as we might seem. You are mistaking inaction for absence of thought. Ex- tras like courtesy, human interest and friendships need sometimes be sae- rifieed to maintain a bid for success, and once the pinaele is reached more time will be available for love to flow outward, not inward. Look at the facts. We love people. Some of our best friends are people. You say we live in a little world all our own. You say we don't practice the things we preach. But what about the band tours? Our Choirs travel nationwide spreading the gospel. We even sent our best to Russia, carrying on the work of the Lord behind the Iron Curtain. We are willing to invest considerable expense getting the word to faraway places. How can you doubt our sincerity? What? You say you live in Walla Walla and don't know what Seventh-day Adventist means? Don't panic. We'll get there as soon as we evangelize Red China. And we do have open Communion. Really, we worry about our reputa- tion. We donit want people to think of us as legalistic prudes, climbing on gold star and memory verses to the pearly gates. That's why we comp- lain about required worships and chapels. It's not because we don't want to 330. That's obsurd. We simply wonder and postulate scenarios and vignettes of what people must be say- ing as we turn in our little green cards. Will they think ttmandatory holiness? Will they stalk out of the Church, never to return for fear of being hand- cuffed to the pews? These are scary possibilities. We must exercise free- dom ofehoice for their sake, not ours. Nonrequired worships? Of course weld go. Who wouldn't? Max Bygraves Walla Walla, WA
