Beach Tells University Role
In Church Medical Program
" Loma Linda University is the pulsating heart of the church's ) globe- encircling chain of compassion and health," said Walter R.
Beach on April 28 in a convocation designated as the April event
commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the University's found
ing. _
Mr. Beach is secretary of the
General Conference of Sev
enth- day Adventists and is a
member of the University's
Board of Trustees.
" At one time," he continued,"
a human being was treated as if
it were made of three separate
leak- proof compartments. The
body was the physician's cus
tody, the mind was under the
exclusive control of the educa
tor, while the soul was en
trusted to the ministry. Each
specialist was told, ' Now you
take care of your area." "
Mr. Beach told the audience
at the University Church that
Seventh- day Adventist pioneers
early discovered the scriptural
_ fact that man is physically,
__' mentally, and spiritually a
' functional unit. " This inte
grated program, we believe, is
articulated to the very heart of
the gospel," he said.
The speaker noted that 15,-
000 messengers dedicated to
the desire to " make man
whole" have been sent by the
church to mission fields
throughout the world.
" Some 2,400 are in service
today. Of these, about 150 are
physicians, 15 are dentists, and
246 are nurses and medical
technologists. To date, 496
physicians have been sent from
North America to foreign
fields. These 2,400 appointees
have been joined in their work
by nearly 60,000 national work
ers and medical personnel," he
stated.
He pointed out that Seventh-
_ day Adventist medical institu-
' tions range from the small
jungle dispensary to the 400-
bed modern hospital. " These
medical facilities awake a spir
it of inquiry in those they
serve. When the sick and af
flicted are relieved, they seek
to learn more.
" In one populous area of the
nation's capital," he revealed,
" a survey showed that only
three inhabitants out of 100
were acquainted with the
neighborhood Seventh- day Ad
ventist church, while 63 knew
well the Washington Sanitar-

WORKMEN AND EQUIPMENT have begun realignment of the
intersection of Central Avenue and Anderson Street in Loma Linda.
When the job is done Central will meet Anderson at a square angle
a few yards to thejnorth of the original intersection. The change,
eliminating the odd- angle intersection with its triangular traffic
island, is seen by county road planners as an improvement which
will make travel through the community business area safer and
more rapid. The area southwest of the intersection ( foreground),
much enlarged by the change, will become a University parking lot.

University to Note 260 Attend Retreat
Hospital Week » At Pine Springs
National Hospital Week be
gins Sunday, and Loma Linda
University Hospital will observe
the event by offering a public
preview of facilities to be in
corporated in the new medical
center now under construction.
Tours of about 40 minutes will
be conducted Sunday only, con
tinually from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.
Some hospital services now
have in use equipment ordered
early for installation in the
new center. Two notable ex
amples, both included in the
tour itinerary for the public
this Sunday, are the cobalt- 60
irradiator in use by the radiol
ogy service and elaborate
equipment used in the new car
diac diagnostic laboratory.
Tours of the new facilities
and of other hospital areas of
high public interest have been
arranged by hospital adminis
trative officials with University
Community Relations Officer
Dorothea A. Mathisen and
members of the Volunteer
Service League at the hospital.
The tours will begin in the
south patio, adjacent to the
hospital.
Students, employees, and
other friends of the hospital
who are not yet acquainted
with the advances in patient
service available with use of
the new facilities should be es
pecially interested in the tours,
says Mrs. Mathisen. Refresh
ments wil be served in the tour
assembly area by Pink Lady
hostesses, and Candystriper
girls will guide tour groups to
the various points of interest.
In each area on the itinerary
a specialist from the service
will explain its operation to the
visitors. In the cardiac lab
oratory, for instance, visitors
will:
see how a portable electro
cardiograph recorder the size
of a camera enables the phys
ician to scan in ten minutes a
patient's cardiac performance
through a ten- hour period of
normal activity at home or
work;
see and hear human heart
sounds on an oscilloscope- phon-ocardiograph
unit;
see how 35- mm. movies and
closed- circuit television enable
diagnosticians to watch' a pa
tient's heart in action during
non- surgical procedures;
see how an FM radio trans
mitter small enough to fit in a
shirt pocket reveals to the
physician any irregularity in
the heartbeat of a patient in an
other room or another part of
the hospital.
Other points on the tour, in
addition to the cardiac and
radiologic therapy units, in
clude the physical medicine and
rehabilitation and the occupa
tional therapy services.
More than 260 members at
tended the University Church
MV retreat held April 30 and
May 1 at Pine Springs Ranch
in the San Jacinto mountains.
Joseph N. Barnes, PhD, from
the theology department at
Walla Walla College, led dis
cussions on the general theme,
" Renewing of the Mind."
At the Friday evening serv
ice Dr. Barnes stated that the
real battles confronting man
kind are not between armies
but between minds and ideas.
" The conscious mind," he
said, " is a product of the liv
ing body. If the body, as a re
sult of intemperate living, is
not in good health, how can we
expect the mind to give a good
performance?"
He also suggested that an un
healthy state of mind will lead
to physical disease. '
In other meetings on Satur
day Dr. Barnes maintained that
every thought, idea, or influ
ence to which an individual is
exposed is retained in the mind.
" While you may not be able to
recall it accurately, the infor
mation is still there and will
influence your future decisions
for good or for evil."
G. Gordon Hadley, MD, as
sistant dean of the School of
Medicine, presented the mis
sions appeal at Sabbath school
and Jack W. Provonsha, MD,
associate professor of Christian
ethics, led the lesson study.
After dinner Gayle H. Nel
son, PhD, associate professor
of anatomy, conducted a nature
hike up a nearby mountain.
Dr. Barnes challenged the
group of University students,
families, faculty members, and
employees at the afternoon
meeting to " possess the mind
of Christ. You can do this by
thinking on and doing only
those things which are good,
