Leach concludes that "students now have to be very hard-headed and practical about their career goals. If the Lord has given someone a great talent, he should use it in every way possible."

In spite of these cold facts, music and the arts are lively at Southwestern Adventist College.

Bands and choirs have a long history at the school. Early photographs picture the Keene Symphonic Band smiling from their 1915 surroundings, and the 1932 Lone Star Quartet went on to bigger and better things at the as the Kings' Heralds. Col- lege choirs have traveled many times to Europe and Inter-America.

The 1983-84 Choraliers sang in the Southwestern, Southern, and Columbia unions last spring; the string ensemble has played in churches of many denominations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex; the band performed at col- lege commencement for the first time in over five years.
