and Telephone Company.
But don't panic no one
needs to remember all 24 new
numbers. Callers may dial only
the first number 796- 7311, and
if that line is busy the call will
automatically rotate to the first
open line into the switchboard.
New Lines
The number change will al
low an increase in the quantity
of Redlands lines from 18 to 24.
" We are anticipating the great
er needs of the new medical
center scheduled to open next
spring," says assistant hospital
administrator Curtis M. King.
To make the new- number
game easier to play, persons
who dial the University's pres
ent number ( 796- 0161) will be
automatically connected with
the new switchboard lines for a
period of time after June 1.

confusion that way," explains
A. J. ( Bud) Fersching, customer
sales representative of the tele

After June 1, physicians' ap-pointments
will be made
through the general University
telephone lines rather than
through a separately listed

number formerly listed for ap
pointments after June 1 will

Singing Sophomores Organize
As ' Men of Medicine' Choristers
" Spit out those words, don't be afraid to open your mouths,"
the director instructed the 30 men in front of him. " O. K., let's
try it again. Now enunciate!"
" Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,"
Ptioto by Gilbert M. Burnhom, SM'tS
NEWLY ORGANIZED singing sophomores of the School of Medi
cine give a sacred performance at Linda Valley Convalescent
Home, Loma Linda. They are directed by class member Bradley
W. Nelson, SM' 68.
sang the group distinctly. " He
is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are
stored . . .".
" Cut," interrupted the direc
tor about halfway through the
patriotic hymn. " Let's try that
marching part again. Baritones,
I think you need a little extra
practice. Everyone else take
five."
This was the last of four
rehearsals which over a period
of two weeks turned 30 Loma
Linda University sophomore
medical students into a pol
ished men's chorus ready for
pubjic performance.
Creator and director of the
chorus Bradley W. Nelson des
cribes the origin of the singing,
group: " A couple of us who
like to sing got the idea of a
chorus. The students we talked
to were so enthusiastic that we
made an announcement to the
whole class and this is the
result."
The " result" is the first large
singing group ever organized by
a School of Medicine class. " We
think that it's good for the
public image of the University
and the School of Medicine
here are medical students who
are interested hi something
other than medicine," observes
Mr. Nelson.
Asked when the group finds
time to practice, Nelson says,
" The fact that we're all in the
same class makes it easier than
it would be if we each had
different schedules. We just fit
rehearsals into holes in our
schedule."
The chorus will perform for
sacred services under the name
Men of Medicine and will sing
secular numbers as the Medi
cine Men.
They first performed May 21
in four appearances at the Uni
versity Church and at Linda
Valley Convalescent Home.
" We already have several sing
ing appointments scheduled for
June and hope to arrange
more," director Nelson reports.
More than 300 Loma Linda
University seniors will be
graduated this weekend in
commencement events at
Loma Linda, Pasadena, and
Redlands. The three tradi
tional weekend services are
set for Friday evening, Sat
urday afternoon, and Sun

Delivering the address at the
54th annual conferring of de-grees
will be Harold Hillen-brand,
DDS, of Chicago, secre
tary of the American Dental
