AFTER SUFFERING BRAIN DAMAGE from a car ac
cident, Jimmy Sidener has to learn to walk again. Mrs.

Bulletin Board to Move,
Advertising No More
The bulletin board facing the
breezeway of Loma Linda Uni
versity's library- administration
building will soon be absent
from its familiar place.
A gift from the School of
Medicine class of 1956, the
double- sided wood and glass
display case will be moved to
the north end of the adminis
tration building. Facing the
side- walk along which students
pass hundreds of times daily, the
board will be devoted exclu
sively to official messages for
School of Medicine students, ac
cording to a committee recom
mending the move.
Speaking for a three- man
committee appointed by the ad
ministration to study bulletin
board policies, Registrar Her
bert A. Walls explains the deci

" Our committee was reach
ing the conclusion that the
principal entry- way to the Uni
versity campus was an inappro

touting cars, cameras, apart

Senate to
Meet Here
The Loma Linda University
Senate will meet Tuesday, No
vember 26, in Kate Lindsay
Hall chapel. The session was
postponed from an earlier sche
duled time this week. The re
scheduled meeting has been set
at 7: 15 p. m.
This will be the first of three
sessions in the academic year,
according to Dr. Melvin R.
Lund, chairman of the senate
business and rules committee
and as such the vice chairman
of the University Senate. Sen
ate president is Dr, Godfrey T.
Anderson, University president.
Dr. Lund said the Senate had
been in operation since 1960
and was established as a means
to provide communication be
tween faculty members of the
various schools, the administra
tion and the Trustees. It is not
a legislative group.
Besides the business and
rules committee, which as a
steering committee sets up the
program for the Senate, there
are other committees designed
to further the goals of the Uni
versity and its academic per
sonnel. According to Dr. Lund
these committees are:
A cultural and social com
mittee.
A committee on faculty re
sponsibilities and rights.
The library committee is un
der jurisdiction of the Senate.
A radiation and safety com
mittee.
A religious life and service
committee which, among many
responsibilities, helps to set up
the annual week of devotion.
A student staff health and
welfare committee, which helps
control health policies.
clusively to their school and
solve both problems at once."
Walls says a work order for
the moving of the board has
been sent, and the job will be
done within a few weeks. Non
commercial advertising notices
for students and faculty will
thereafter be carried in SCOPE
at reduced rates, the adminis
tration says.
Fellowship dinners were held
for members of the Hill and
University churches in connec
tion with fund- raising drives
now under way. The dinner
programs were Sunday and
Monday this week at the Azure
Hills Country Club, Grand Ter
race.
Funds are being solicited for
new buildings and remodeling
purposes. Plans presented to
the two congregations will seek
to relieve crowded conditions at
the churches and the Loma
Linda Academy.
General chairmen of the cam
paigns are Ferdinand Welebir,
MD, for the Church on the Hill,
and Thomas Zirkle, MD, for the
University Church. The men
are assistant clinical professor
of urology and associate profe's-sor
of surgery, respectively.
Each church has organized
teams of solicitors, who during
the next few weeks, will seek
cash and pledges from members
to meet expansion goals.
