THE LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
Trustees Finalize SC Conference
Ownership of " White Memorial"
WMH Valued at
$ 7,500,000:
Cree Sandefur
Estimated value of the White
Memorial Hospital complex is
approximately $ 7,500,000, ac
cording to Cree Sandefur,
Southern California Conference
president. In a release to the
newspapers this week, Elder
Sandefur said, " It is felt that
this training affiliation will add
strength to the excellence of
patient care at the White Me
morial Hospital and to the educa
tional opportunities through
Loma Linda University."
He added that " the White Me
morial Hospital will continue its
history of excellent medical care.
The church president stated that
the Clinic, " a major health care
facility in Los Angeles," will
receive major improvements and
a reorganization for better ser
vice under the new administra
tion.... We consider this clinic
one of the great opportunities
for service to the community."
Elder Sandefur emphasized that
" as part of Loma Linda Univer
sity, the White Memorial Hos
pital has been a part of the
Seventh- day Adventist Church.
The transfer involves assigning
operation of the hospital and its
clinics to another agency of the
same church organization and
will not in any way disrupt the
hospital's health services to the
public."
The Conference operates medi
cal facilities at Glendale Sani
tarium and Hospital , Azusa
Valley Sanitarium and Ventura
Estates, a home for senior
citizens. A new hospital to be
operated by the church unit will
be constructed soon in Simi
Valley, California.

Board of Councillors To Sponsor
Major LLU Campus Project?
WASHINGTON, DC The
University Board of Councillors
agreed in principle to undertake
to sponsor a major project on the
Loma Linda campus at their third
annual meeting in Washington,
DC. According to the chairman
of the board, Jerry L. Pettis,
some thought has been given to
the construction of an audi-
Heubach Speaks
At Mental Health
Meeting in Ohio
Paul Heubach, professor of
applied theology at Loma Linda
University, attended meetings of
the Institute on Mental Health
for Seventh- day Adventist Min
isters at Harding Hospital,
Worthington, Ohio. The meetings
were October 21 to 23._
SCOPE'S Special
The University SCOPE will
be available at the special intro
ductory rate of $ 1 only until
November 8, 1963, according to
the managing editor. After that
date the regular price of $ 3
per year will buy a year's sub
scription of the weekly Loma
Linda University newspaper.
Those who paid $ 3 for a year's
subscription during this pro
motion campaign will have their
subscription extended.
- torium- gymnasium.
Such a complex, the councillor
chairman pointed out, could be
exceedingly valuable, for recre
ational purposes, for physical
education or for regional
meetings. He visualized a
building that would seat five o'
six thousand people.
The Councillors decried the
fact that " there is no place on
the Loma Linda campus where
we can have cultural events for
example. We would have to
put up tents or go somewhere
else. So the Councillors liked
the idea of undertaking this
project."
Elder FD Nichol Challenges
Students to New Evaluation
University students were chal
lenged to a more realistic eval
uation of their role in life by
the editor of the Church's of
ficial organ in last week's con
vocation. The speaker, Francis
D. Nichol of Review and
Herald, emphasized the respon
sibility which the students of
this institution have to their
church and to humanity.
" If you are going to help just
ify the enormous expenditure to
be made here" said the execut
ive editor, " you should stand
up exultantly in enthusiasm for
the basic concepts that brought
this school into existence."
Elder Nichol, who attended
school here in a 12x17 foot tent
in 1905, made his theme the
University's justification for ex
istence:
. If we seek only to educate a
group of brilliant young scient
ists." he said. " I wouldn't vote
additional millions for the
school, because we already
have schools that will do that.
Ellen White's appeal was for
something beyond that.
" This school is a monument
to certain beliefs and convict
ions, certain assumptions with
regard to man, for man is the
object of all our attention."
The speaker outlined the three
basic assumptions upon which
the University is built:
The belief that life is more
than meat and the body than
rainment, that man is more
than atoms and protoplasm, and
that his objectives should be

Hospital, University
To be Affiliated
The trustee action calls for a
plan of affiliation between the
hospital and the University. The
affiliation agreement as detailed
at the Council states:
1. The University recognizes
the value to the Church, to the
profession of medicine and to
the White Memorial Hospital of
the residencies as graduate
training programs.
2. The University recognizes
the advantages to the White Me
morial Hospital and to itself of
an affiliation covering the re
sidency program.
3. The University broadly de
fines affiliation as assistance to
the Hospital with such educational
programs as the two institutions
may agree should be operated
at the " White," and as recogni
tion by the University of the pro
grams which meet commonly
accepted academic and pro
fessional standards.
