the Maruko Hotel and Conven
tion Center in San Bernardino.
Among the celebrity guests
who plan to come will be Fred

the evening's entertainment. Mr.
Holliday appears almost daily on
television, either as a spokesman
for some of America's leading
advertisers, or as a guest star on

Sponsored by Loma Linda
University, proceeds from the
Gala will benefit the Hulda

ago. Currently, six students
receive tuition assistance each
year from this fund.
At the gala, " Grandma
Whitney" will be honored as she
celebrates her 93rd birthday, and
a special presentation of the
" Hulda Crooks Auard of Achieve
ment" will be made to Suzy Katz
(" Mrs. America" 1987/ 1988) and

accreditations.
As part of this action, the
Board of Trustees voted to
study the feasibility of a univer
sity structure consisting of a
chancellor and two presidents
one for the Loma Linda campus
and one fdP* the La Sierra cam
pus with the possibility of
operating with either one or two
governing boards.
Neal C. Wilson, chairman of
the University's Board of
Trustees and president of the
General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists, said that the ac
tion was taken to provide pro
tection for the academic integri
ty of the professional schools.
" Each of our campuses has a
specific mission," Pastor Wilson
said, " which will continue to be
developed to the maximum."
In his comments, Pastor
Wilson stated that " the board's
action was taken to ensure that
the mission of the professional
schools located on the Loma
Linda campus would not in
anyway be limited, diluted, or
weakened by the needs,
challenges or problems faced by
the La Sierra campus entities."
" I have called another meeting
of the Board of Trustees for late
June," Pastor Wilson says, " to
take further action regarding the
proposed modified organiza
tional structure that will ensure
the achievement of this impor
tant objective."
