• Excavation is under way for a new telecommunication line for the entire campus. The new line will convert the maze of telephone,

electrical, security and fire lines into one main line. The completion of this line will eliminate most of the telecommunication problems. A series of manholes will insure easy access for repairing and installing new lines to keep up with the growth of the college. This is a major project and will most likely continue through the school year.

Not too long ago, Devers suffered from Graves' Disease and almost had both her feet amputated. Her determination prevailed, however. She's a true champion.

4. Dan O'Brien, my favorite All-American guy, lived up to all the pressure and expectations. After his shocking failure to even make the team in 1 992, some people thought his career was over. But the pole vault, which haunted him every day since he no-heighted in '92. stood between him and a gold medal. He cleared it easily and went on to be come die World's Greatest AUllete.

Strug stuck the landing, despite a sprained ankle, to win the first teamgold medal for die U.S. women. Standing on one leg, she raised her arms above her head to finish the vault. She then collapsed on the mat in severe pain. Later, she was carried to the medal stand by her coach, Bela Karolyi. «ldeita^,„,,„„«,„,,,,-,^-Sj^^i5^^

by Rick Siedel

Yes, one good diss definitely deserves another.. .another nine, actually! You see, in the Land of Diss, personal offense reigns supreme

for the diss is an entree best served cold! But then the problem arises: what can a girl do to stay original? You see, dissing can so easily become comonplace. and things can just get downright boring! Viewed in this light, creative dissing is obviously the key! Now without further

(There is a long pause while Ken tries to think of something to say. He llnally formulates a response he thinks might be appropriate). "Yes." Ken says hesitantly, afraid of what might come next. "Oh, Kenny, you're the sweetest guy I've ever met," B;irb replies with a tear in her eye. "I'm so glad we can communicate at this level." "LIh-huh," Ken answers, knowing something signillcant has just happened in their reladonship, but he's not sure what.

stuffed cat, and throws herself onto her bed. Between sobs, she tells her roommate everything. Together they analyze every detail of that evening, every word spoken, every movement made, and every breath taken.

Hefferlin Named to Global Arctic Seminar in Russu by Ashley Wickwire

Scientists have failed to do it for over JOO years, but Dr. Ray Hefferlin, a physics professor at Southern, is giving it a try—with a litUe help from his global colleagues. Since 1973—26 years—Hefferlin has been working on developing the first periodic chart

for molecules. The project is now a collaboration of colleagues in Russia, Belgium, France, China and the United Stales, he says,

While progress is continually made, Hefferlin

estimates it will be another "100 years or so" be-

fore the chart is complete.

"It is frustrating to be working on something

Cherie Smith Joins Gollegedale Pastoral Staff

by Ruthie Kerr

It came back wet and the ground around it was dry. Just like Gideon's fleece when he wanted an answer from God. Cherie Smith threw her fleece in a different manner, but got a positive response just like Gideon in the book of Judges. Smith's fleece led to an application for the Community Chaplain position at the Collegedale Seventh-day

Advent! St Church.

Smith herself is a graduate of Southern. Her determination made it possible, taking one class per semester for 1 2 years. One of those classes she took from her husband. Dr. David Smith, chair of the English department. Smith not only graduated from Southern, but has worked here for the last 15 and a half years.

When students of Helderburg College in the Republic of South Af- rica graduate with a bachelor's degree in business administration or accounting, they will have Southern Adventist University on their diploma.

"This is the only department [at Southern] to ever affiliate with an international college," says Jim Segar, dean of the School of Business, who visited Helderburg October 23-28. The affiliation was approved on October 24. Helderberg has been affiliated with Andrews University for 20 years, "but Andrews in no longer able to have an affiliated program unless all

the teaching is done by teachers at Andrews." says Segar.

Twenty percent of the students at Helderberg are in the BBA pro-

by Jason Garey

In Daniels Hall, the halls no longer bustle with students, and the classrooms are now empty, but there is one man left to break the silence. The only sounds heard are those of the creak- ing building. At one time this building was the school's library, and in the old librarian's office is the only man left in the building—Dr. Cyril Roe.

Because of lack of office space in Hickman, Roe remains in Daniels for now.

This is Roe's 21st year teaching at Southern. Although he retired two years ago. Roe volunteered to teach an education class and Earth Sci-

While waiting to move into his new office in Hickman, he works in the quiet and solitude of Daniels. "I enjoy having people around," says Roe.

"I'm getting more used to it, but at first it was like being in a mausoleum." Although Roe feels the new science center , is the only faculty left ii is a great improvement over the older and smaller

SunTrust in Fleming Plaza May Shut Down

by Jason Carey

After 26 years of service to the Collegedale community, the SunTrust Bank located in

Fleming Plaza may be closing its doors.

"This is what happens when a corporate company takes over a local bank," says City Commissioner Bill Taylor. SunTrust Banks has been instrumental in the residential and business growth of the

Collegedale community for many years. It was previously known as the American National

Bank until it was bought by the SunTrust corpo-

ration in 1995. Due to financial restructuring, the SunTrust

corporation is evaluating whether to close the East County branch. "We are evaluating from a business stand-

point our necessity to remain at our present lo-

cation in the College Plaza Center," says Anne Davis, Customer Service Representative for SunTrust Bank. "No final decision has been made."

"I vividly remember my first call. Walking into that trailer was like stepping through the gates of hell and back. The adrenaline rush was amazing!" says firefighter and senior nursing major Jeff Poulson.

He's a lieutenant at Firestation 1 . Poulson has been with theTri-Comunity Fire Department for three years, joining his freshman year. '1 basically wanted to do something different. I never

really had it in mind to be a firefighter, but 1 thought it would be interesting and exciting," he says. In December 1996, Poulson was promoted to lieutenant. Four people were considered for the job and thoroughly interviewed. Poulson was chosen.

"Jeff has the ability to eviduate a scene and act on it intelligently. He has a firefighter's mind," says Chad Winslow, a sophomore social work major and former firefighter.

To become a firefighter, recruits have to go through

four months of intensive training. This is followed by six weeks of classroom work.

Once diey make the force, they still have to attend special training every Tuesday night.
