Church Banner Scandel Concerning the Church banner issue of Fall Quarter, I believe the banner in question was caused to disappear through a decree by the Editor of the COLLEGIAN. This was done to prop- agate dissention and discussion among the college population. This should not be tolerated. The COLLE- GIAN should not be permitted to Create its own issues. Gary Tetz Surrey, BC. Dear Mtn. Ash Even though my roomate and I ha- ven't seen eye to eye on most issues, 1 think we've hashed out our differ- ences successfully in the past. Just this last Christmas I decided to give him a bow and arrow set. For a late Christmas present he got me a T-shirt with a bullseye on it. How should I take this?

NW - 26 Columbia Turnpike Florham Park, NJ. 07932 LETTERS Memories Filing past the memories of my mind, 1 push the recall button of many pleasent, educating and stablizing experiences of this year at Walla Walla College. 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
