LOS ANGELES ~ Plans to
transfer operation of the 300- bed
White Memorial Hospital and
Clinic are being presented to the
General Conference Fall Council
this week. If the Council accepts
the plans, the new operators
will be the Southern California
Conference, according to Univer
sity President Godfrey T.
Anderson.
Final approval for the plans
may be secured before the end
of October, Dr. Anderson said.
He referred to a committee in
which local, regional, General
Conference and University
officials agreed to terms for the
multi- million dollar transaction
last week. Financial details are
being withheld until the Fall
Council and the interested parties
can agree on all details.
The conference is scheduled to
take over full control on January
1, 1964, if the proposal before
the Council meets with necessary
approval. A combined adminis
tration has been included in the
transfer plans, with a local board
of directors which would include
representatives of Loma Linda
University.
President Anderson expressed
the opinion this week that " this
plan would provide more efficient
operation." He said the nego
tiations went along very smoothly
and that this solution seems to be
universally weli received.
Provision for Teaching
Among other aspects of the
agreement reached by the
committee is a provision for
continuation of university
teaching programs in the hospi
tal.
These presently include stu
dents and teachers in the
University's School of Medicine,
School of Nursing, Graduate
School, School of Medical Tech
nology, Radiologic Technology
Curriculum and School of Nutri
tion and Dietetics. Graduate
medical education principally
internships and residencies
for physicians is also in the
plan to be continued according
to terms of the proposal.
Involved in the transaction is
a 6 1/ 2 - block land area bordered
by Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and
Boyle avenues and State Street.
Buildings include the hospital,
outpatient clinics and auxiliary
structures. Certain other real
estate holdings of the Univer
sity in the vicinity are not

SABBATH SCHOOL'S COLLEGIATE class meets at Kate Lindsay Hall. The handsome living room
in the girls' dormitory is filled to capacity and some of the students line the hall in an attempt to
listen and learn from the Word of God. The Loma Linda Church on the Hill and the University Church
have now launched a campaign to have more educational facilities built near the church. This will
do away with a situation as reported through SCOPE'S picture story in which classes from one church
meet a mile apart. Staff photo.
