It stands for Adventist Accrediting Association, the association Tami Condon (BS ’91) that accredits Adventist schools, colleges and universities around the world. Keri Suarez (BA ’01) During the month of October, a group of educators representing AAA came Designer to Berrien Springs to look us over. What is accreditation, why do we have to Matt Hamel (AT ’05) be accredited and what did we learn from this visit? There are many types of educational accreditation. The best known Writers is regional accreditation of the entire institution. Andrews belongs to Merrie Jones Gray (BA ’76, MA ’77) Ashleigh Jardine the North Central Region, with headquarters in Chicago, known by the Kelley Lorencin (BA ’00) symbol NCA/HLC (North Central Accrediting Association/Higher Learning Rebecca May (BA ’77) Commission) and we are accredited by it. Its inspection team visited us Scott Moncrieff (MA ’84) earlier this year. The most important advice we received from that visit Kristina Penney was to carefully measure the outcome of our students’ learning while they Keri Suarez (BA ’01)

are with us. Outcome assessment has become a national priority in higher Photographers education and it reminds us of this: It is not just how well we teach that Bradley Austin matters but how well our students learn. Rebekah Helsius In addition to this type of accreditation, Andrews has earned professional Darren Heslop (also called national) accreditation for many of its programs such as Justin Jeffery (BMus ’04) Martin Lee nursing, teacher education, social work, engineering, business, theology, Sarah Lee (BT ’02) music, architecture, clinical laboratory science, physical therapy, etc. David Steen This type of accreditation focuses on the student’s job readiness following graduation from each of these programs. It requires Andrews to offer designated courses needed for optimal professional preparation, to engage President faculty and staff with unique qualifications, and in some cases to establish Niels-Erik Andreasen (MA ’65, BD ’66) specific entrance requirements for students. AAA represents a third kind of accreditation for Andrews, and the Interim Provost William E. Richardson (BA ’59, MA ’60) purpose of this is to check that Andrews fulfills its mission and provides valuable service to the Adventist Church. While we have not yet received Vice President for University a final report from the recent AAA inspection tour, the preliminary report Advancement indicates that indeed Andrews serves our Church well in at least three David A. Faehner (MA ’72) ways: First, it provides young Adventist adults with a large variety of Vice President for Student Life educational opportunities from the two-year diploma to the PhD. No other Frances Faehner (BSW ’76, EdD ’07) Adventist university offers such broad and deep educational opportunities.

Hot off the press!

Leona Running, the first woman to hold a regular teaching position in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, and who taught there for 46 years, has written her autobiography. A secretary and linguist who worked her way through a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University partly by typing dissertations, Running composed this manuscript at age 93 on her trusty portable manual typewriter, despite recovering from a broken wrist. The book covers her early years in Michigan, later college graduation from EMC, academy language teaching in the West, her marriage and early widowhood, her work at the Voice of Prophecy in California and then at the GC Ministerial Association in Takoma Park, Md., where she helped produce Ministry magazine. Seminary teaching followed, intermingled with work for her former major professor, William Foxwell Albright, whose biography she later coauthored with renowned David Noel Freedman. During her seminary years there were also numerous trips to Europe and the Middle East. And then there were the issues of salary inequities for women, and women’s ordination, both of which are part of her story but not recounted with rancor. My Journey is now available at the Andrews University Bookstore and the ABC Christian Bookstore in Berrien Springs, Mich. It may also be ordered from the publisher, the General Conference Ministerial Association, for $10 (including postage) at the following address: GC Ministerial Resource Center, 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring MD 20904.

It implied that a university located even within 25 to 30 miles of the capital city would not be safe enough. It began to be clear that the idea of relocating to Berrien Springs was gaining ground.

FALL 2009 19 You go through the serving line at Dining Services, picking up mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, and a drink. Oh, and you add a portion of Sam’s Chicken, along with two tablespoons of tartar sauce. It’s pricey, at $3.79 a serving—and 25 cents for the tartar sauce—but it has been an irresistible favorite at Andrews University for 40 years. As you work through your five ounces of wheat gluten, soybean oil, soy flour, yeast extract, sea salt and top secret spices, you have no idea of the history of Sam’s Chicken, or who Sam is, if indeed there is such a person. But as those 400 calories hurtle past your taste buds and into your bloodstream, sit back and maintain consciousness. I’m going to tell you. Our story starts about 6,000 miles away from Berrien Springs, Mich., near the city of Obihiro, on the island of Hokkaido, in Japan. That is where Michihisa Yoshimura was born on March 4, 1915. His father, a well-to-do businessman, owned a coal mine and raced horses for fun. In some ways, Michihisa was a lot like your average American kid of the Post World War I era. He liked to snow ski, ice skate and play baseball (catcher and left field). As Michihisa got into his teens his mother, a Christian (his father was an atheist), wanted her son to attend a Christian school, so she sent him way down south to Saniku Gakuin, the Adventist college about 50 miles east of Tokyo on the other side of Tokyo Bay. There Michihisa providentially—for purposes of our story Sam Yoshimura graduates from Madison College, 1941

He had been encouraged to go to Madison by Perry Webber department as a secretary, for $19 per month. One day, Sumi (Emmanuel Missionary College class of 1911), a PhD in chemistry received a box of home-baked peanut-butter cookies from who had a special interest in soyfoods, and had spent much someone named Sam. Sam had sent the cookies as part of a time at Madison College as well as in Japan. As Michihisa set thank you to Sumi’s family, who had helped Sam’s family with a off for Madison, Webber suggested he adopt the name “Sam,” financial transaction at a time when Japanese bank assets were after the biblical Samuel. Thus Webber unwittingly saved us frozen. Sumi wrote back asking for more cookies. from 40 years of “Michihisa’s Chicken.” Incidentally, Sam’s Sam, in turn, helped arrange for Sumi to get early release from younger brother Zenzaburo, who remained in Japan, trained as camp, in order to attend Emmanuel Missionary College, through a kamikaze pilot, and had given away his clothes preparatory to the auspices of A.N. Nelson, then dean at EMC, but formerly his final mission—and then, mercifully, the war ended. president of Saniku Gakuin when Sam was a student there. In entering Madison College, Sam had come to the school Sumi, in turn, decided to pass through Madison on her train most suited to enhance his work as a food technologist with soy trip to EMC, to meet Sam. They met and got acquainted in the products. In 1904, E.A. Sutherland, having resigned as president home of Perry Webber, and that fall of 1943 found Sam as well of Emmanuel Missionary College, embarked with his colaborer as Sumi enrolled for classes at EMC. Sumi worked as a reader in Percy Magan to open a new school in the South. This institution, originally the Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute, became Madison College (in 1937), and Sutherland served as president there for over 50 years. This school, like Andrews and Saniku Gakuin, focused on the harmonious development of body, mind and spirit. As part of the plan, students were to work off half or more of their expenses each year. Among the industries which developed on campus was a food factory which, in 1918, became Madison Foods. By the time Sam arrived in 1937, Madison Foods was a leading—probably the leading— developer of soy-based products in the United States, including soymilk, soy meat substitutes and tofu products. However, times were hard and wages were pennies per hour. Sam’s classmate Shirou Kunihira worked in the soymilk production plant, while Sam worked at the bakery, where his duties included running the bread loaves through the slicer. Shirou would get an allotment of soymilk at the end of his shift and Sam would collect the crumbs from the pan under the slicer. With these ingredients the friends would share a humble evening meal. For Japanese and Japanese-American students, there was the added challenge of the United States being at war with Japan. Despite these challenges, Sam graduated from Madison College in 1941 and worked an additional two years for Madison Foods, but now his passion for soy was balanced with a new passion for she. Sumiko Yano, a.k.a. Sumi, was born in Japan, but grew up in Southern California. At the time the U.S. declared war on Japan, in December of 1941, her family was living in El Centro, Sumi & Sam Yushimura in Madison, 1963

FALL 2009 33 THE SIX WORDS After teaching teenagers about God for nearly four decades, Ken Wilson’s final lesson was a labor of love that proved to his daughter that God knows what He’s doing.

Almost as soon as the words were me back to Michigan until five years later, out, I wished I could take them back. as I began to help my mother care for my ‘That was a dumb question!’ I thought, father.

But without God had weaned me away from full-time missing a beat, he looked up at me with Ken Wilson employment, and in early 2008, I found confident determination and spoke six myself in a part-time job with the most words that changed my life: flexible schedule known to mankind. “Kelley, God knows what He’s doing.” So, I was in a perfect position to help I have no idea what I said after that.

We knew it was likely that he During the last part of the school year, as we were cleaning out would lose a great deal of his mobility within six months. And his classroom (37 years of Bible notes!), I said, “Dad, you ought who, upon receiving a fatal diagnosis, wouldn’t want to take to write a book about God.” After all, he had lived and breathed their remaining time to relax and enjoy life?

Sometimes his speech extremely slurred and very hard to understand. But eventually, was so slurred that we would have to go through the alphabet, Kelley (Wilson) Lorencin spelling one letter at a time to understand what he was trying to say, or he would use his special, laser-driven computer to type words. And little by little, he wrote his book. Those were some of the best weeks of my life. Freedom Fighter: How God Wins the Universal War on Terror was my father’s parting gift—a final tribute to his best Friend, the God he loved and served all his life. The experience of writing this book with him proved to me that what he had said about God in the kitchen that day was absolutely true. God knew what He was doing when He gave my father the gift of teaching. God knew what He was doing when He gave me the gift of writing. And God knew what He was doing when He brought reluctant me back to Battle Creek. And in so doing, He turned what could have been one of life’s most devastating and discouraging circumstances into one of the most beautiful and inspiring experiences of my life. My father died the day Freedom Fighter went to the publisher. I miss him so dearly, as he is one of the greatest men I’ve ever known. But since he’s been gone, whenever I am tempted to feel angry or sad, I hear him once again saying so clearly to me, “Kelley, God knows what He’s doing.” And I know he’s right.

Kelley (Wilson) Lorencin (BA ‘00) lives in Battle Creek, Mich., with her husband David. She divides her time between church music, law clerking, freelance writing, and book marketing. You can find more information about Freedom Fighter at www.ElathiaPress.com.

Carlos Schwantes (BA ’67) has recently published a book with the University of Missouri Press entitled, Just One Restless Rider: Reflections on Trains and Travel. A news release from the Missouri Book News describes the book as a “sweeping memoir [which] reflects a lifetime’s love of observing and riding trains.” Carlos is an author, or editor, of over 20 books and is currently employed at the University of Missouri as the St. Louis Mercantile Library Endowed Professor of Transportation and the West.

Janet and Dwayne (BD ’68, DMin ’87) Toppenberg share about their lives in 2009: “This has been the greatest year of our lives! We retired!” Dwayne and Janet ended their 40+ years of ministry this year and were able to visit their daughter, Deb, and her family, in Geneva, Switzerland. Robert G. Wearner They spent time touring museums, galleries, the Alps and greatly enjoyed their granddaughter, Marie. When they returned home to Kentucky they took their motor home and joined their son David and his family in Detroit for three weeks. Grandsons Daniel and Markus loved spending time with them, listening to stories of their lives. On the way back they stopped by Andrews University for Alumni Homecoming, and were pleased to see some friends and have the chance to camp at Beaver Point.

Robert G. Wearner (MA ’61, MDiv ’68, MTh ’72) writes, “A 1940 graduate of Pacifc Union College, I took all my graduate work at Andrews. As a pastor-teacher I spent nearly two decades teaching in Adventist schools in Uruguay, Peru and Brazil and studied at Andrews in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary during three furloughs. My family and I arrived in Berrien Springs for the first time in January 1961 on a cold winter day. Coming from summertime in the Southern Hemisphere, we had to adjust to our new life. It was cold! No housing was available on campus, so we found a house to rent near the Lutheran church. The Seminary building was still under construction, so we studied with Drs. Running and Walher in classroms over the print shop. I remember college president Floyd Rittenhouse’s inspiring chapel talks. Having previously studied at the Seminary when it was located in Takoma Park, Md., I had enough credits to graduate on June 4, 1961, with an MA in systematic theology. During my 1967 furlough I earned an MDiv in church history, followed by an MTh in missiology in 1972. After 40 years of Loren Hamel denominational service I retired to live near family in Missouri and Tennessee. At present I live in Collegedale, near Southern Adventist University. I find many opportunities to serve the Lord in writing for publication, and serving as a docent in the Lynn Wood Archeological Museum.” 1970s

Steve Case (MDiv ‘85, PhD ’87) noticed that few young people (and older ones as well) are reading the Ellen White classic Steps to Christ. The book was pivotal for his spiritual turn- around during his adolescence, so he rewrote it for today’s readers. Entitled Connection, the subtitle spells out its intention: “How to have a Relationship with God.” Pacific Press published the book and it’s available at ABCs or online at adventistbookcenter.com or amazon.com. Steve gave it away to Andrews Seminary students at the end of his sermon given during the weekly chapel service on Oct. 20, 2009.

He personally flew his airplane from California to its new home base at Andrews. The gift is very significant to the department, said Doran, because, after looking into Andrews’ aeronautics program and sitting in on some classes, Roggenkamp decided that Andrews was on the right track with aeronautics education and decided to donate an object that was such a huge piece of his life. The second aircraft was donated by Hannu Halminen (BS ’71), who began his college education at Andrews University in the late 60s as a biology major, with visions of going on to medical school. Being an excellent student, and filled with lots of creative energy, Halminen took aviation flight courses at Andrews University’s Airpark so that he could fly as a hobby.
