predecessors. Man’s creativity is diminished since most of his actions and thoughts center on sustaining life rather than giving creative expression to the joy of living. Man’s sense of beauty and right­ness is tarnished by the pres- ence of the ugly and wrong. Sin and death make it apparent that man has chosen to live outside his original domain of existence, out of harmony with the Creator’s in- tent for him. The act of the will of man, which resulted in giving up much of the image of God, was followed by an act of atone­ment and restoration by Jesus Christ. By this atonement God made it possible for man, again by an act of the will, to accept the restora- tion of this image.

Extensive files of Adventist periodicals are also maintained here. The Ellen G. White Estate Branch office maintains an exten- sive collection of published and unpublished materials.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES (ITS) One of the primary objectives of the ITS, in addition­ to admin- istrative records management, is to make large-scale computing power easily available to students and faculty for classroom instruction and for research. Two large computer systems are installed on campus. These versatile systems provide an ex­ ceptionally wide range of academic­ and administrative capa­bilities. An especially attractive feature of these systems is the ease of access avail- able via the extensive network of timesharing terminals installed at various campus locations.

Funds for equipment, financial aid scholarships, student activities, and special projects are generated through fund-raising and phil- anthropic gifts. Each student is expected to participate in fund- raising campaigns, both as part of the school-wide programs and the class- and organization-sponsored programs. The academy respects a family’s choice to support these special needs of the school in some other manner. The annual campaign invites relatives and friends of students as well as alumni and friends of the academy to invest in Andrews Academy through tax-deductible gifts. A variety of other campaigns gives supporters opportunities to invest in specific projects at the academy.
