I feel especially blessed for the opportunity to have worked alongside dedi- cated teachers and administrators who willingly make financial sacrifices to keep tuition affordable for our young people who want a Christian education. It has especially been gratifying to me to see struggling, but determined students succeed in spite of academic or financial problems.

As I move to the Department of Busi- ness Administration to teach and counsel

for a couple of years before retirement, I look forward to a closer association with students and to more direct involvement in helping them succeed in this very important time in their lives.

hinese cooking. Christianity. Chemistry. Kung fu. Where can this combination be found? If you're on the Southern College cam- C pus the answer is simple: Just find Vincent Tan. Vincent, a junior chemistry major, is an accomplished cook. Mouth-watering aromas of won tons, fried rice, and other tasty Chinese specialties often fill his apartment kitchen. He says that many people have tried to get him to write a cookbook, but "it's hard to put down my recipes on paper, because for me cooking is from the heart." Vincent Tan puts his heart not only into his cooking, but into everything else he does as well. Vincent grew up in Singapore. Though his family were Taoists, he went to a Catholic school. "Tan Ban Soon is my Chinese name," said Vincent, "but everyone else had a Christian name at the school so my brother gave me the name Vincent." Vincent was 13 years old when he found a discarded Voice of Prophecy correspondence card. He studied a borrowed King James Bible along with the lessons and soon became a Christian. The Tan family was opposed to his Christianity and even to this day he says, "we talk about a lot of things, but we don't talk about religion." When Vincent Tan turned 18 he was drafted into the Singapore army. "I told the army that I wouldn't bear

arms, but because I was in class 1, the classification for those in the best physical shape, they chose to send me to officers' school anyway," he says. Being a corporal in a combat unit plus maintaining a Christian lifestyle was hard at times. "We were required to eat everything the army served us," recalls Vincent Tan. To get around eating pork he asked to eat with the Muslims. Refusing to bear arms was not as big a problem as having the Sabbath off. "Every weekend my superiors

and I played a little game," grins Vincent. "They didn't want to deny me the privilege of Sabbath worship, but if they granted me standing permission to have Sab- baths off soon everyone would want to observe some holy day, and the army would have a problem." Every weekend for three years Vincent requested Sabbath off and not once was he turned down. Vincent said that during his army service he grew especially close to the Lord. "Each day I was in the

Computer, Plant Upgraded by C100

To keep a $16 million educational plant equipped, functional, attrac- tive, and efficient requires constant expenditures of time, effort, and money.

Series 925 in the Spectrum line, will replace the two systems which have been serving the administration. Migration of applications to the new computer begins in May. The new system is expected to be eight times as fast in processing user jobs as the current Series III systems. With a

Scheduled for the summer is construction of teachers' offices for the Department ofJournalism on the ground floor of Brock Hall. This will free third- floor offices for expansion in the area of business.

However, since tickets had to be purchased for most ofthe invitational events and since prices ranged from $20 to $200, most students opted to attend the free functions or those for which they were given passes. While in Washington the Southern College group was accommodated at Co- lumbia Union College. Woody White, Southern College Republican Club chairman, reflected on the trip, "Not many people get to experience something like this. We were the largest college Repub- lican group to go from one single college in the entire Southern region."

Jim majored in biology with teacher certification. Both of them studied ornithology under Edgar Grund- set, who has taught the course to hundreds since hejoined the faculty 32 years ago.

Fromto fly. When Frank Mirande was a teenager living in Orlando, Fla., he often visual- ized himself joining the Air Force and flying swift, powerful jets. This vision found expression in reams of skillful sketches. Frank was soon to gain a new sense of direction in his life. At the time, he was working at Florida Hospital. His heart took wing, for he discovered the beauty of Christ's teachings and began to share the Adventist anticipation of His return. Frank was 20 when he joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church by baptism. One memorable morning Frank met Valerie Howard at church. He had found the lady of his life and they married in August 1977. Frank felt com- pelled to enroll in college, and at the same time wished to fill his hunger for Christian education. The young couple decided to come to Southern. Three years and a baby son later, Frank graduated with high honors from Southern College in 1981 with a double major in art and history. That same May the Mirande family headed for Gainesville and graduate school at the University of Florida. There Frank earned a master of fine arts degree, with an emphasis in painting. After graduating from U.F. in 1983, Frank interviewed with Lockheed Aero- nautical Systems Company-Georgia Division, a major entity that researches and manufactures high-technology aerospace machinery. He had done his research. The Marietta plant, originally built in 1943, as Air Force Plant #6 to build B-29 bombers, had closed down after V-J Day. The plant was re-opened by Lock-
