Summer News Blurbs The Supreme Court ruled Friday, June 26, that no state can ban same-sex marriage. The White House was lit up with the colors of the rainbow symbolizing equality for same-sex couples. Although this controversial decision was disappointing for some, it was a day of victory for others.

One of the most memorable photographs this year appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair.

The reality show and Olympian star formerly known as Bruce Jenner, introduced herself as a 1 transgender woman, with the cover title “Call Me Caitlyn.” The cover’s released sparked national interest, but the talk really fired up when ESPY decided to award Caitlyn Jenner its annual Courage Award. Some believed that this award was misplaced, that a soldier who lost limbs fighting for our country was more de-

Throughout the summer, while students were on break, the campus received multiple important updates.

In the Campus Center, students will notice a new drinking fountain, provided by the SA, to accommodate filling up reusable water bottles. The fountain keeps track of how many bottles are filled — but students should be advised that California is still in a drought and that they should not waste water.

One big update on campus is to the residence halls’ laundry facilities. The Senate has been pushing for new laundry machines for students and during the summer, according to Dean Denise Grant of Winning Hall, several residence halls received new washer and dryers: Grainger Hall, Nichol Hall and Winning Hall. Grainger, in particular, needed new machines, since the ratio of working machines to men was disproportionate.

Some students will also notice renovations in their dorm rooms. Certain older rooms in Winning Hall received new sink countertops, cupboards, wardrobes and carpets. Women liv-

serving than a person’s decision to go public as a transgender person.

Followers of Donald Trump’s show The Apprentice, but this past year many more have gotten to know him for his campaign for the presidency. Trump has recently come under public fire for his comments on illegal immigrants. On June 16 Trump made a speech got the nation’s attention. He said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not bringing the best. … They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” Trump lost a lot of respect from some and support from some organizations, launching a national debate while at the same time raising his rank in the polls. NBC refused to air the Miss USA Pageant, which is owned by Trump, and Macy’s dropped Trumps’ clothing line as well.

This year’s host of the much-anticipated MTV Video Music Awards was Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus carried on her controversy-based legacy in the show with her eccentric wardrobe and skits performed. The VMAs performers included Demi Lovato, performing her new hit “Cool for the Summer,” Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj crooned a duet, showing us they are friendly after a Twitter feud, and Justin Bieber returned to the stage after two-and-a-half year hiatus. The most talked-about moment was Swift’s presentation Kanye West with the Vanguard Award, showing that Swift has no hard feelings for West after 2009 derailment of her acceptance speech. From there Kanye took over the microphone to make a long-winded speech, ending in his announcement that he is running for president in 2020.

ing in Andre Hall may not notice but over the summer the entire hall was rewired electrically.

McReynolds Hall received significant updates to furniture, getting new sofas, chairs and side tables. McReynold’s B wing has new showers, toilets, tiles, carpet and paint.

Graf Hall also replaced its lobby furnishings. Dean Lunelle Bertresse says, “We are very excited about our new furniture and the brightness it brings to our beloved Graf.”

The dean staff emphasizes the need for students to report problems when they see them rather than letting machines and other equipment remain broken. By doing this, maintenance will be able to take care of problems as they happen and keep residence halls in good condition. Dean Grant says, “Happy dorms make happy students.” Maintenance requests for women residence halls can be Above: Graf Hall Lobby furniture.

Back to School Fashion

By Janet Morales

Summer is almost over and fall is just around the corner. A new school year is starting and with that new classes, professors and textbooks, but also (for those of us who are fashion enthusiasts) a new fall wardrobe.

A study in Social Psychological and Personality Science conducted in New York and California revealed that college students who wore formal clothing showed higher levels of abstract thought processing. So if those cups of coffee from the Pacific Café aren’t doing the trick try dressing up a bit — feeling like you are ready to tackle on the day might help you concentrate better on that class that always seems to put you to sleep.

Here is what some students at PUC are wearing this fall quarter: George Tuyu, junior, theology: “Dress how you feel.”

Student wears an H&M denim button down over a black t-shirt with a pair of black distressed denim and black boots from Aldo.

Spencer Swetnam, junior, health sciences and pre-physical therapy: “Be you!” Student is wearing a light blue button down from Aeropostale, olive green pants from Urban Outfitters, a Fossil messenger bag, and desert boots from Clarks.

Jj Nash, junior, intercultural communication with Spanish emphasis: “Simplicity catches the eye.”

This student wears a light wash denim button down and a gray scarf over a dress. This gray bodycon dress with a slit on the side can be worn so many different ways.

Renée Beaulieu, senior, social work: “Don’t complicate things — in life or fashion.”

This student stays warm with a scarf and denim jacket over her black dress, which she pairs with black tights and sand colored boots.

Jessica Aldred, junior, business: “Stay comfy and stay warm this fall.”

What is fall without some plaid?

A pink plaid button down, a pastel toned scarf, jeans, brown boots and messenger bag make up this student’s back to school outfit.

Campus Chronicle

Women’s Ordination: An Overview Seventh-day Adventists around the world watched intently as the vote for women’s ordination unfolded on July 8 at the 60th General Conference Session in San Antonio. The question was: “Is it acceptable for division executive committees, as they may deem it appropriate in their territories, to make provision for the ordination of women to the gospel ministry?”

There were 2,363 delegates that voted by secret ballot, and the results were 1381-to-977 opposed to the issue, with five delegates abstaining.

Ordination is a public acknowledgement and recognition by the Adventist church that a person is called by God to service. Prior to the vote, there were unions that had already ordained women, including the Pacific Union.

Pacific Union College’s only female religion professor, Dr. Jean Sheldon, was ordained April 27, 2013, in the PUC Church, bringing the issue of women’s ordination closer to home.

The GC vote determined if church divisions as a whole can choose to recognize women as ordained ministers. If the vote had a majority of “yes,” divisions would decide if they wished to ordain women. If the vote had a majority of “no,” essentially nothing would change.

Unions would continue to ordain women if they so choose, and divisions--like the North American Division-- that allow women’s ordination will remain the same.

A recurring worry among leaders and members was that this issue may compromise unity in the Adventist church by illuminating theological differences in cultures. During the GC session, many attendees voiced their opinions on the issue over a six-hour discussion and many explained their concern about a possible division in the church. Some speculated a “yes” vote with further divide our church to the point of a split, thus encouraging a “no” vote.

Pastor Doug Batchelor, Senior Pastor of the Granite Bay Adventist Church and President of Amazing Facts, expressed his concerns for the church if the vote was “yes,” due to other churches’ histories with ordaining wom-

en, such as Lutheran Church. The Lutheran Church had a decline in membership and church attendance soon after their decision to ordain women in 1970. He explained that “one reason that was noted for the decline was that as women pastors took over the various churches it seemed like the men became disengaged.” According to Batchelor, other churches that declined in membership were the United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church and Episcopalian Church because they ordained women. One exception he mentioned was the Southern Baptist Church which decided not to ordain women. The Southern Baptist Church continues to grow, and is thought to be growing because women are not being ordained in their church. With this information, Batchelor asked Adventists to reconsider voting “yes” since other churches showed a pattern in decline after they ordained women.

However, those in favor of the vote felt equal damage could be done in the church. Dr. Jan Paulsen, former worldwide president, spoke on this issue urging voters to vote “yes.” He expressed his understanding for cultural differences and asked to trust the leadership in respective divisions that the leaders will provide appropriate leadership in those areas. Paulsen specifically addressed voters in South Africa and said, “Do you trust your leaders, elected leaders from Africa, to give the best leadership for the life and mission of the church in Africa? If you do, vote yes.” He also addressed South America with a similar appeal. Paulsen expressed worry that a “no” vote would “damage our church.” He said, “In some parts of the world, we are struggling badly to try to hold the church together, to engage young and old, men and women in the mission and ministry of the church.” Paulsen continued, “We need everyone’s involvement. We are bleeding in many ways. We have to stop this. We are losing so many of our youth and young professionals.

They have problems with the moral integrity of the church.”

In the end, voters voted against letting

Facebook users have been using the #977 to support the 977 “yes” votes. church divisions decide about women’s ordination.The response on social media was mixed, and several people for and against the vote voiced their opinions on the issue. A hashtag was created, #977, representing the 977 “yes” votes, and many on social media used this to express their agreement with women’s ordination. However, one idea remained constant throughout social media conversation: to bring the focus back to Christ.

WELCOME FRESHMAN!

Dear Sophomores

By Glorianne Besana

Welcome back. For those who have decided not to go abroad, it’s a whole new year here at Pacific Union College. A year ago you were getting bombarded with PUC-specific literature, getting ready to move in, and bracing yourself for that next step. This year, that kind of attention tends to stop, but this letter is for you guys — the second-years, the sophomores.

The reason for this letter lies in the fact that while you are no longer new, it takes more than a year to learn the ropes of college education.

Let me tell you about something we all like to call the “sophomore slump.” Much like the Freshman 15, it doesn’t apply to everyone but has become its own cultural phenomenon to get its own special title. The sophomore slump is kind of like purgatory for college students — that awkward in-between where you are no longer being babied but are nowhere near the end enough to elicit the respect seniors get.

Some of you will realize that the major you picked isn’t actually what you want — some of you will fall behind and some will chug on ahead. Freshman year and making mistakes tend to go hand in hand. You got off the hook

for things because you were a newbie and now that you’re back with no Things are more serious.

For many of my fellow sophomores, I saw the slump happen. It hits around winter quarter because let’s face it: nothing is new anymore. It’s awkward. You’re still too young to actually start thinking about thesis projects (or at least propose them), you’re still taking some GEs, and everything gets very “blah.” And it’s okay. The transitions that take place during your college years are the foundation for the person you will emerge as once you walk across that graduation stage. When I got the slump (and I got it bad) the lull plunged me into apathy. Nothing was exciting and I was convinced I went to the wrong school or picked the wrong major. While any of those things could have been true, I’m here to tell you that it is completely normal to feel this. Coming out of the slump isn’t easy, but all things end and when they do, you tend to look at your education from a different perspective.

Some words to check yourself before you wreck yourself:

Things are going to get harder. Push through. You are not going to love every single class within your major and some of the required courses are a total pain but trust your passions and always think before you do anything drastic.

Quality over Quantity. Instead of piling 15 different officer positions on your plate alongside intramurals, a full course schedule, and a job, try to pick what you genuinely like. There’s nothing wrong with being overly involved but there is something wrong when your activities are given priority over your studies.

Have fun. Easier said than done but take those study breaks to read, to exercise, to hang out with friends. Yes, college is getting more serious but that does not negate your ability to enjoy yourself. We aren’t meant to be studying 24/7 — treat yo’self.

Go forth and conquer your second year, it goes by much more quickly than the first.

College Assists Evacuees from Valley Fire In the weeks before students returned to campus from summer break, multiple fires spread through local counties, one coming close enough to Pacific Union College to force some Angwin residents to evacuate as a precaution. With the start of the Valley Fire in nearby Lake County Sept. 12, national news outlets focused their attention on local communities Middletown, Hidden Valley and Cobb Mountain. With the help of rain and cooler temperatures starting Sept. 13, the fire turned away from Angwin. All advisory evacuations for Angwin were lifted before noon Sept. 15. With the fire no longer a threat to Angwin, PUC’s new goal is to provide assistance to the students, faculty and staff who lost homes during the fire.

From after midnight Sept. 13 until afternoon Sept. 14, mandatory evacuations were in place for residents in the northern parts of Angwin: Ink Grade Road, Summit Lake Drive, and Howell Mountain Road North from White Cottage Road to Pope Valley. Some local students, college faculty and staff were evacuated from their homes.

Also evacuated was one of the main coordinators for PUC’s response to the fire, Dr. Lisa Bissell Paulson, Vice President for Student Services — along with her horses and burro. A few evacuees stayed in Winning Hall, which opened rooms for evacuees, while others stayed with other community members who were not evacuated.

PUC’s response to the fire was an all-college effort. College staff, including CFO and Vice President for Financial Administration Dave Lawrence, jumped into action to open the Chevron gas station and College Market so evacuees and community members could stock up on groceries and other necessities. A breakfast was prepared for all evacuees in the Fireside Room on Sept.

13. During the weekend community members also brought food and snacks to evacuees finding refuge at PUC. Desk workers in Winning served an im-

Although the fire did not directly threaten Angwin, those closest to the fire were evacuated as fires are unpredictable and can spread quickly. portant role in aiding evacuees who arrived on campus from Sept. 12 to 13. Evacuees in the residence hall included some of PUC’s own faculty, such as Jon Carstens, Associate Professor of Art. With the RAs and deans at Albion for their beginning-of-the-year retreat, the remaining desk workers helped check in evacuees, answered the calls of concerned people and relayed information to students on campus. Evacuees, including their pets, occupied a total of 11 rooms in Winning the night of Sept. 12.

Winning desk worker Ariana Casiano, se-

nior, described what she saw driving back to campus from Santa Rosa the night of Sept.

12. “When I looked up to the mountains there was an orange glow,” she said. “Going into Calistoga I saw so many shuttles, lines of cars at all the gas stations. They were packed with people who had packed their cars and were ready to go.”

The few students remaining on campus were advised to prepare a bag in case the school had to evacuate. While there were plans ready to evacuate students to Calistoga, the college never needed to evacuate.

vol. xci

PUC President Dr. Heather Knight went to residence halls personally to check in with students and staffs, assuring students that the college had everyone’s safety in mind and would notify students immediately in case of an emergency situation.

Those on the retreat at Albion learned of the fire in the early evening Sept. 12 and received updates about the status of the fire as the night went on. Maddi Macomber, senior, said when they learned of the fire, “We had a huge RA prayer circle.” Macomber described that at Albion it rained ash on the group, and on the morning of Sept. 13 they decided to clean quickly and return to campus. Macomber said, “We were worried about road closures, smoke and about people staying in the dorms if they needed any help.” The ash and smoke in the sky were telling signs of the fire’s impact when the group drove back to campus, as Macomber said, “Driving through the redwoods we had our headlights on in the daytime. It was so dark.”

At PUC the smell of the smoke was mostly faint or at times strong, and the smoky clouds created by the fire dimmed the sunlight. Ash

lightly sprinkled the ground and could only be seen contrasting with cars’ paint. Rain beginning the morning of Sept. 13 also helped halt the fire and weaken its effect on campus.

Casiano said, “The weather change has been a big blessing.”

When the RAs and dean staff returned to PUC on Sept. 13 they set out more food for evacuees, including fresh fruit and bread for sandwiches. Winning’s dean, Denise Grant, also prepared hot food in Winning’s kitchen.

Throughout the duration of the fire and afterwards, PUC’s Public Relations Department communicated information pertinent to the college. Jennifer Tyner, Vice President of Enrollment Management & Marketing, initially communicated with college staff and faculty through emails before relaying information through Facebook and Twitter as more people contacted the college. Tyner said, “I immediately decided our main validated sources. I only went off CalFire, the Angwin Volunteer Fire Department and the Napa Sheriff ’s Search and Rescue,” said Tyner.

Posting only information relevant to the college, Tyner said, “I tried to direct everyone to

Guide to Local Restaurants College has begun, which not only means you have to do your own laundry, but also feed yourself. Most likely, the new freshmen will enjoy all PUC’s cafeteria has to offer. Now, don’t get me wrong; the cafe food is GREAT (after the first month), and there is always the Pacific Café whenever you want to switch things up a bit. Other than that, you have the market across the street and from there everything else is … well, downhill. But not literally!

Being a student at PUC has its benefits. We live only 30 minutes from the beautiful Napa Valley and only 10 minutes away from the cute town of St. Helena. Both of these places also come with a great variety of food. If you are willing to drive a little further, you have even more options in places like Calistoga and Santa Rosa. The best part of it all: eating off the

those sources and encourage everyone to sign up for Nixle [local emergency alerts] so we were all getting the same news.”

The Facebook group Angwinville was another useful tool for the community to communicate. Community members’ videos of events and commentaries published on Angwinville were also valuable to many. As the fire progressed, posts on Angwinville and individuals’ personal pages advertised online campaigns to aid people who lost homes in the fire.

The threat of the Valley Fire proved the strength of PUC’s local community in times of distress. Generosity abounded in the many opened homes, opened wallets and opened hearts. The prayerful mindset adopted by PUC and Angwin is another testimony to this. While community members both prayed and offered assistance, relief was palpable when the fire no longer posed a threat and a light drizzle began to clear the air.

hill can be affordable if you do it right!

One of my go-to places for a cheap yet satisfying meal is at Azteca Market in St. Helena.

Here you can get various Latin groceries and this place also has a menu to order food to-go.

They have the best tacos, burritos, quesadillas, you name it. It’s fast and easy.

If you are a sandwich lover, the one and only place to go is Giugni’s, which is also located in St. Helena. This place is amazing. They have the all-time famous Giugni juice and a variety of options including a great selection of cheese to put in your sandwich, all for under $10.

I would recommend Napa for fast-food enjoyment. They have Taco Bell, In-N-Out, Starbucks, Panda Express, IHOP, Denny’s and more.

Now, if you are a student who does not share

a love for the plant-based diet as others might, Busters in Calistoga is the place for you. Who doesn’t love a good barbeque? And trust me, this place will not let you down.

The last place I would highly recommend is a Puerto Rican restaurant in Santa Rosa called El Coqui. This restaurant’s prices range from $11-30. The menu has vegetarian options and the service is wonderful.

These are just a few places that I have enjoyed over the last two years. Remember, staying on a budget is a must, and eating off the hill will happen. I would encourage you all to ask around and see what former students have to say about their favorite and most affordable local food spots.

Welcome to PUC Fitness Pacific Union College actively promotes healthy living. Adventists are one of the largest populations of vegetarians in the United States and PUC’s cafeteria, provided by Bon Appétit, and coffee shop, the Pacific Café, endorse this lifestyle choice with their vegetarian meal options.

Adventists are not the only ones to adopt a vegetarian diet, though. Dr. David L. Katz, a director of the Yale Griffin Prevention Research Center, and Dr. Dean Ornish, a physician who has stopped and even reversed heart disease by placing patients on plant-based diets, recommends a plant-based diet due to the positive health effects. Celebrities such as Paul McCartney and Ellen DeGeneres, and athletes, including Carl Lewis and Mike Tyson, adhere to a plant-based diet due to either moral, environmental or health reasons. “My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet,” said Carl Lewis, Olympic champion.

As well as providing a healthy diet, PUC supports a healthy lifestyle by accommodating its students with aesthetic running or mountain biking trails in the Back 40, as well as a track and field to jog independently or race against friends. However, the trails in the Back 40 are quite expansive and it’s easy to get lost.

Some students and faculty members use the app “MapMyRun,” not only as a map to the intricate maze that is the Back 40, but to record and log GPS workouts with the precise provided stats for pace, distance, calories burned and more. With about 5 million downloads, “MapMyRun” boasts in its description that it can “log over 600 different types of workouts; record GPS based activities to view detailed stats; connect with 400+ devices to import and analyze all your data in one place,” as well as “sync your account with other health apps like ‘Google Fit,’” or “share your progress and workouts with friends on social media.”

Along with a track and multiple trails to train to become the next Olympic champion, PUC provides a well-stocked weight room

and a fitness center with multiple treadmills, stationary bikes and other cardio machines. If students have had their fill of moving in place, they can get mobile with the rock climbing wall in PUC’s gymnasium, officially known as Pacific Auditorium. Or, if they’re afraid of heights, they can swim underwater in the Hanson Memorial Pool right outside Pacific Auditorium. And, if students prefer to stay dry, they can use the tennis courts across the street from the track. The fitness center, weight room, climbing wall, pool, track and tennis courts are used for both classes and independent recreation. Facility hours are listed on the PUC website.

If students wish to gather groups together to play sports they can join the intramural program. Students can get involved playing “everything from ultimate Frisbee to floor hockey” as listed on the PUC website.
