Spring 2000 - Announcements

Faculty Notes

Dr. Robert L. Snyder, associated professor of biology, had an article published in Christian Century magazine, June 30-July 7, 1999 issue. In it he presented a cautionary note about “Jubilee 2000,” a growing movement to forgive the international debts of poor developing countries. As a follow-up to this article, Dr. Snyder has been interviewed by several newspapers, including the Dallas Morning News and Newsday in New York City.

Dr. Hugh E. Siefken, professor of physics, had one of his research papers cited recently by a group of physicists in a paper published in the February 2000 issue of The Review of Scientific Instruments. The paper was also presented at the 8th International Conference on Ion Sources last September in Kyoto, Japan. The citation shows Dr. Siefken’s research continues to have impact in the scientific community.

"Anticipations" Reunion

If you sang in the “Anticipations” group, which was active in the late 1960s, you are invited to come back to Greenville for a special reunion that will be held during Alumni Reunion Weekend June 15-18. The group included about 25 members and existed for 3 years. The group’s director, Loren Carlisle ’70 is coming back for his 30th and would like to have a reunion.

Alumni Director Kent Krober reports that he only has names of the group’s members for one year, so he’d like to get the word out to the others. So if you sang with the Anticipations, consider yourself invited!

Three Alumni Have New Books Published

All three can be purchased online at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Borders.com

Margaret Berger Morse ’61 is the author of Choices: A Journey of Faith — Torrey’s Miracle (Vantage Press, 1999). Choices is the moving story of how the author’s own daughter Torrey battled an aggressive form of cancer rarely found in children. The book recounts the family’s agonizing decision to stop conventional treatment and pursue a little-known alternative cancer therapy, Immuno-Augmentative Therapy.

Morse attended Greenville College for one year, 1960-61, then went on to complete her B.S. in education from the University of Hartford (CT) in 1965, an M.S. from Central Connecticut University in 1971, and an M.A. from Hartford Seminary (CT) in 1992. She taught elementary school for 18 years, and now works in her local church. 148 Church St., Guilford, CT 06437. Email: CpLottie@aol.com

Dr. Dave Arnott ’77 has written Corporate Cults: The Insidious Lure of the All-Consuming Organization (AMACOM, 1999). This book makes the point that many corporations use the same manipulating and controlling tactics that cults do. Arnott goes behind the scenes to expose the unhealthy, all-consuming power some organizations (many well known) try to impose on their employees. The author argues ultimately that we should place more value on who we are than on what we do.

Arnott is associate professor of management at Dallas Baptist University. He frequently speaks and leads seminars on the relationship between the individual and the organization, and is considered a leading expert on corporate cults. 3509 Scott Dr., Rowlett, TX 75088.

Leslie (Berg) Vernick ’74 is the author of The Truth Principle: A Life-Changing Model for Spiritual Growth & Renewal (Waterbrook Press, 2000). In it she describes five clear steps to a deeper Christian maturity. She offers a practical, simple-to-understand, and easy-to-remember model—The T.R.U.T.H. Principle. Through this journey of personal growth and spiritual discovery, countless hearts will be drawn back to a central tenet of the Gospel: Truth isn’t something you learn, but Someone you know. And the Truth will set you free.

Vernick has more than 15 years of experience in counseling Christian individuals and families from a biblical worldview. She is an active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and a diplomat in Clinical Social Work. She received her master’s degree from the University of Illinois, and today is a popular speaker for women’s groups, couples’ retreats, and professional seminars. She and her husband, Howard, have two children. 4060 Windy Rd., Orefield, PA 18069.
