500 agents from the University's
eight schools are being selected
to help in the program. ,

raising project," Dr. Wergeland

with the total fund raising pro

The purpose of the Annual

to encourage consistent, syste

Riverside and Loma Linda into
a progressive, modern Univer

Campus chaplain plan gains
administrative, student okay
Loma Linda University
Offering Day
Your gift on this special bien
nial occasion will help the
church fulfill its divinely-appointed
healing mission.
The appointment of a full-time
La Sierra campus chaplain
has been approved by the
Southeastern California Confer
ence of Seventh- day Adventists.
" The long- awaited campus
chaplain will be an important
contribution to a whole new uni
versity- wide counseling service
that will become a reality next
year," says Loma Linda Uni
versity President David J. Bie
ber.
Serving in much the same
way as would a^ church pastor,
the chaplain will not be con
nected with administration dis
ciplinary duties, adds President
Bieber.
Names of prospects for the
new position are being consider
ed by the Southeastern Califor
nia Conference which is in
charge of making the appoint
ment.
The chaplain's guidance work
will include leadership in re
ligious activities involving stu
dents as well as private coun
seling for students on spiritual
and secular matters.
The University Student- Fac
ulty Council is preparing a
statement outlining the quali
fications the chaplain will need
to fill the needs of students.
This statement will be designed
to help the conference commit
tee with the appointment.
According to an editorial by
associate editor Gary Hanson,
in the campus newspaper, The
Criterion, the students support
the decision to approve a cam
pus chaplain.
