VOLUME 16, NUMBER 3 JUNE 1974
ANNUAL METING SET FOR BETHANY COLLEGE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, AUGUST 19 - 222 1974
The 1974 Annual Meeting of the American Scientific Affiliation will be held at
Bethany Nazarene College in Bethany, Oklahoma (a close-in suburb of Oklahoma
City). By now all members should have received registration information for
the meeting, to be held August 19 - 22. If you want another copy of the registration information, just drop a note to the Elgin office.
Theme for the meeting is Planet Earth: Change and Challenge. Ed Olson, program chairman, has worked hard this spring to put together an interesting and
varied set of papers. In addition we plan to spend a few sessions working on
projects related to the future work of the ASA. Come prepared to give us your
input on what the ASA should be doing or how to improve what we are now doing.
The local arrangements committee headed by Kurt Weiss and Don Beaver have
worked hard to provide good facilities and arrangements at the meeting. They
have especially worked on providing good activities for families while the
meeting is going on. There will be a wide variety of diversions for children
during the day, so plan to bring your whole family and make this part of your
vacation.
OUT OF THE PROBLEM AND INTO THE CRISIS
According to an unimpeachable (???) source, the U. S. has solved its energy crisis
and now faces only an energy problem. In the American Scientific Affiliation, things
seem to be going the other way. ASA's matching grant and Growth Plan are taking care
of our financial problems--but facing us with an immediate fiscal crisis.
Energy, though, we have in abundance, in the person of executive secretary Bill
Sisterson. Dropping in at ASA headquarters in Elgin last month, we saw Bill and
secretary Doris Parker and Judson College student Vanessa Anderson efficiently tak,ing care of ASA business. To an old-timer who remembers doing all of ASA's correspondence himself, far into the night each Sunday, it was quite a sight. There are
so many more possibilities now!
But income and expenses still cycle out of phase with each other, as they did when
as a council member we had to co-sign "the annual note," personally guaranteeing a
bank loan to enable ASA to pay its bills each year. Now it seems that for the rest
of 1974, expenses will probably exceed income by as much as $6,000, with most of the
shortage coming this summer. (See NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE for Bill's latest
word on what the council has decided to do about it.)
What we really need for the current crisis as well as for the long haul, is 100 members
of Harold Hartzler's "100 Club." Some 50 members already give $100 to ASA as a
regular . part of their Christian giving. There must be at least that many more among
us to support ASA's unique witness in the scientific community, our service to
student, pastors, and the whole body of Christ.
Integration of Christian faith and science is what our Affiliation is all about.
When Jesus talked about 11getting it together," He said that what we invest our money
in, our hearts will be in. We say we want to make science fully human and help human beings become fully God's people. Shouldn't we thank God for the opportunities
He's opening up for ASA, and pray that our hearts will be in our witness and work?
Bill Sisterson's experience equips him well to cope with cash flow problems, economics in office management, and the like. We have a good man working for us. This
would be a good time to write him a note of encouragement (address: ASA, 5 Douglas
Ave., Elgin, IL 60120). It would be a marvelous time to join ASA's "100 Club."
SENDING OURSELVES OVERSEAS (CONTINUED)
1. Gary R. Collins, president of ASA and professor of pastoral psychology and counseling at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois, writes: "I think
your idea of 'Sending Ourselves Overseas' in the April issue is a beautiful one.
That's Just what I plan to do for 11 weeks beginning June 1. My main assignment will
be training personnel in counseling at Overseas Christian Servicemen's Centers in
Okinawa, Philippines, Thailand, Greece, Germany, and Spain-(in that order). But
,opportunities for other ministries kept opening up along the' way. I'm hoping to meet
some of our ASA members abroad and I'm sure I'll have many chances to publicize ASA.
I'll be back less than a week before the ASA Annual Meeting in Oklahoma, where I'm
supposed to give a presidential address at the banquet. The theme for the meeting
is 'PLANET EARTH: CHANGE AND CHALLENGE.' So, I'm going around Planet Earth in order
to find out what's going on."
2. 'Donald C. Boardman, past president of ASA and professor of geology, Wheaton
Coll7e-geIilinois, writes: "For the 1974-75 school year I have received a Fulbright
grant to teach geology at the U. of Peshawar in Pakistan in the department I established 15 years ago under a SEATO grant. Betty and I hope to get a car in Europe
and drive via eastern Europe, Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan at the end of the summer.11
3. Neil C. Turner, Hamden, Connecticut: "On or about 1 July we will be leaving
Connecticut to take up a position as senior research scientist with the CSIRO Division of Plant Industry in Canberra, Australia. I will be studying aspects of a crop
plant's adaptation to limited rainfall regimes and hopefully will extend the 'Green
Revolution' to more arid regions!"
4. Robert MacLean, Rosemead, California: "My new location will be at Salatiga,
Java, Indonesia, after July 5. There is a small Christian university in Salatiga..."
5. M. J. ' Chambers, Bogor, Java, Indonesia: "Please note the new street address for
all correspondence, including the ASA Journal. We don't want our copy to go astray;
it brings us such stimulus and encouragement to find out how other faculty members
and scientists are facing and solving problems very similar to our own."
Both myVife and I are teaching in.the Indonesian National Agricultural University
here in Bogor, which provides tremendous opportunities for work and witness among
faculty and students. We teach our respective specialties (climatology and geomorphology) plus the compulsory Religious Education class for protestants. Through
contacts made in these classes we have seen the start of an evangelical student group
on
the campus. Our concern now is for the faculty. There are a number of Christians,
but with no unified vision for the practical expression of their faith in a ministry
to students. It's the same old problem: Christians on Sunday, professors on Monday,
and never the twain shall meet! We would value your prayers as we seek to provide a
catalyst for the formation of a graduates' fellowship here."
"Incidentally, there is a desperate shortage of all teaching materials, and spare
copies of any of the following would be appreciated here! Texts on agro-climatology,
soils, geomorphology, physical geology, practical cartography, or air photo interpretation; also any air photos, especially stereo pairs, showing landscape types
and land use patterns."
6. D. Wayne Linn, Lilongwe, Malawi: "I think of you often and ASA activities. Sure
appreciate all the ASA literature that filters through the mails to us. We are finding our Peace Corps assignment in Malawi very stimulating. I serve as an assistant
to the Chief Fisheries Officer of the country, a Malawian, in administrative and
supervisory duties. The objective of this extensive program in this developing nation is to increase fishery production and the availability of fish to the Malawians.
At present the animal protein in their diet is 1/3 the level recommended by FAO and
only 1/10 what we eat in the USA... One of my responsibilities is to help Malawianize this industry and department."
"Many nations are putting money and manpower into Malawi. We are pleased to be a
part of it. It is quite a family adventure for us. And as a biologist family, we
find the flora and fauna of East Africa fascinating. We enjoy our travels and planning more travels. It is really exciting to see the things in their native
settings.
And to live in a different culture. We hadn't anticipated the international flavor.
Our three children are in schools with students from many nations and we have gained,
many international friends."
"We also enjoy a rich evangelical Christian fellowship with many denominations and
nationalities in the Lilongwe Interdenominational Fellowship, a conglomerate of
pastors, missionaries, and lay folk. It is inspiring. Praise the Lord."
SUMMER INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
Student response at the 1973 'Urbana Missionary Convention of the Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship was so remarkable that plans are being laid for a continuation
program this summer. A 10-week intensive curriculum in missions will be offered,
with college and seminary credit for the courses, on a Midwestern Christian campus.
An article describing these plans appeared in the May 10 issue of Christianity Today,
entitled "Is A Big New Student Mission Movement in the Offing?" The article was
written by Ralph D. Winter of the School of World Mission at Fuller Seminary, Pasadena, California*
Ralph points out that 5,000 students signed cards committing themselves to overseas
Christian service at Urbana '73, a number roughly equal to the total of those recording similar decisions at
all nine previous conventions. All 5,000 have been contacted about the new Summer Institute of International Studies (SIIS), and it is
hoped that others unable to attend Urbana will also be interested. Early responses
have been encouraging. Tuition will be kept low and plans are being made to accommodate between 300 and 800 students. An impressive faculty already includes a score
of evangelical leaders in missions and higher education to help students focus their
commitment. ASA members in addition to Ralph Winter include James 0. Buswell, 111,
of the School of World Mission, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Charles
Taber of Milligan College, Tennessee.
Leaders of IVCF, Campus Crusade, and Navigators have given helpful support to the
SIIS program. A new student prayer cell, Associates for World Evangelism (AWE), has
been formed. These stirrings are reminiscent of the 20,000-member Student Volunteer
Movement that began in 1886, and of the Haystack prayer meeting of 1806, landmarks
of world missions. The SIIS Advisory Council, aware of this, is trying not to limit
God by either its plans or by a lack of alertness to the Holy Spirit.
More information is available from the SIIS Information Center, 135 N. Oakland Ave.,
Pasadena, CA 91101, or by calling (after 11 p.m. in any time zone) 213-795-7541.
REGENT COLLEGE SUMMER SESSIONS
Regent College is a graduate-level evangelical school of Christian studies founded
in 1968 and affiliated with the Vancouver School of Theology on the University of
British Columbia campus in Van6ouver. Since 1969 it has held summer sessions offering one of the core courses for its Diploma in Christian Studies plus other course
taught by visiting professors. This summer, Regent professor Carl Armerding
Will
offer Theology and Exegesis, focusing on the book of Amos the first 3-week season
(July 2 to 19) and on Galatians in the second session (July 22 to August 9). Visiting
professors will include Hans Rookmaaker of L'Abri and the Free University of
Amsterdam lecturing on Naturalism in Art the first session, and Dermot McDonald of
London Bible College teaching theology courses both sessions.
Of special interest to ASA members will be a first-session course on Philosophy and
Christian Theology taught by Paul Helm (philosophy, U. of Liverpool); and a companion course on Christian Faith and Natural Science taught the second session by
Robert L. F. Boyd. Boyd is professor of physics at the U. of London and head of the
Mullard space Science Lab at University College, London. The clear thinking and
straightforward testimony of this distinguished British scientist can be sampled in
his chapters in Christianity in a Mechanistic Universe (IVP: ed. by D. M. MacKay)
and in Why I Am Still A Christian (Zondervan; ed. by E. M. Blaiklock).
Summers at Regent combine intellectual challenge and spiritual fellowship. Students
are encouraged to come for the full six weeks, but may come for either 3-week session
and take one or two courses each session. Registration is $15; tuition for each
course, $50. From Aug. 12 to Sept. 6, a special 4-week intensive course in either
O.T. Hebrew or N.T. Greek may be taken for $100. Room & board in student residences:
approximately $40 per week. For further details, contact The Registrar, Regent College, 5990 Iona Drive, Vancouver, B. C., Canada V6T IJ6. Telephone, 604-224-3245.
"...THIGH BONE CONNECTED TO THE HIP BONE-, HIP BONE..."
In 1963, excavators exposed a huge bone on the property of Judge Joseph Sam Perry
in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, about four miles north of Wheaton College. Judge Perry
reported the find and permitted the geology faculty and students to uncover the complete skeleton of an American mastodon.
Douglas Block, now professor of geology at
Rock Valley College, directed the excavation. The bones were washed, dried, preserved, and displayed to some 17,000 school children and teachers on organized field
trips to Wheaton College.
Donald Boardman
I , professor
of geology at Wheaton, has directed a 10-year program of
study into the anatomy, bone structure, reconstruction, and display of mastodon
remains. A professional museum firm, Richard Rush Studio of Chicago, was employed
to design a unique presentation of "The Perry Mastodon." It was completed recently
and is now open to the public at any time, day or night.
The Perry Mastodon is displayed at Wheaton College in a 40-foot wide court between
the new Science Building and Breyer Laboratories. A visitor encounters a semicircle
of glass 20 feet high and 30 feet wide, and as he passes through a light beam the
mechanism of the display behind the glass is activated. The mastodon is mounted on
a platform that revolves, showing its right side "fleshed out" realistically, its
left side with the uncovered bones articulated. Plants grow around the specimen on
the platform, which revolves before a setting of black spruce trees blending into a
diorama. The scene depicts the Wheaton area as it probably appeared 11,000 years ago,
some 1,000 years after the last ice sheet withdrew, leaving behind glacial lakes in
the central United States.
The Perry Mastodon is one of the most dramatically displayed museum exhibits in the
world. The Perry family and Wheaton College regard it as a community project and
have welcomed participation of citizens in the area. Teachers have brought their
students from as far as 50 miles away to make use of this valuable educational resource,
CREATIONIST CHALLENGE TO EDUCATION, IT
According to the Bible-Science Newsletter., the Second Mass Creation Convention is
scheduled to be held at the Red Carpet Inn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Aug. 18 - 21.
Some 40 speakers will present both technical and popular talks during the three days.
The theme of the first (October 1972) convention, "A Challenge to Education,
11
Will
be continued and the essays will again be printed in book form before the
convention,
Registration information can be obtained from the sponsoring Bible-Science Association, Box 1016, Caldwell, Idaho 83605. Creation, as defined by the Bible-Science
Association (BSA), means the special creation of everything on earth in six 24-hour
days, no more than a few thousand years ago. It is likely that all or most of the
speakers will present this "young earth" picture.
Among the speakers will be indefatigable Henry Morris and Duane Gish of the Institute
for Creation Research (ICR) of San Diego. ICR's Acta
A Facts amazes us each month
with accounts of the travel and speaking Henry and Duane do to promote the young
earth cause. It also convinces us that ICR is a more scholarly outfit than BSA or
The Creation Science Research Center (CSRC), also of San Diego but unrelated to ICR.
CSRC Publishes a bi-monthly magazine, Science and Scripture, and seems to be promoting legislative or administrative action to force the teaching of young earth ideas
in public schools throughout the U. S. and Canada.
A CREATIONIST CHALLENGE TO YOUNG EARTH IDEAS
Meanwhile, Daniel E. Wonderly, recently of Grace College, Winona Lake Indiana, has
expressed concern about the boldness with which the "young earth" concept has been
promoted. Dan, who considers himself a creationist and not an evolutionist, feels
that the young earth issue has become a serious problem in Christian institutions.
He fears ft has erected new barriers between conservative Christians and the scientific world.
To clear up misconceptions, Dan urges each ASA member to submit at least one article
on the proper relation between the Bible and science to a Christian magazine this
year. Too many articles bordering on pseudo-science are being accepted by editors
anxious to publish something on creationism because of the turmoil in the public
schools. Dan feels that those with a definition of creation broader than the young
earth concept have a responsibility to help Christians who may be getting only one
side of the story in the Christian publications they read.
Dan says it is important to remind the Christian public that nearly all
of
the founders of fundamentalism in America recognized the necessity to deal with God's revelation of time in nature, and proposed methods for reconciling the Biblical account
of creation with the scientific evidences for the great age of the earth. Also, in
a spirit of love, "ultrafundamentalists" need to be shown that a high respect for
the Bible and a concern for the Gospel of Jesus Christ are not the exclusive property
of young earth advocates.
If writing an article requires too much effort, how about a constructive letter to a
Christian publication? Even if your letter is not printed, it may help assure the
editor that the young earth hypothesis has not been verified and encourage him to use
caution in going too far out on that limb. -
Dan has compiled a summary list of what he considers to be the salient points of the
young earth issue. He would be glad to share it with you to help you write an article or letter-to-the-editor, or think through your own position on the age of the
earth. Write to Daniel E. Wonderly, P. 0. Box 772, Winona Lake, IN 46590.
BACK ON THAT JERICHO ROAD
Readers have been trying to educate the ASA News editor about Near East archaeology
ever since we made some crack about the geography of Jericho. The latest andragogical attempt comes from David A. Lewis. who offers to take us on one of his Holy
Land tours this fall. On -the -fourth day, says his brochure, we can "hike down the
old Jericho Road, where Jesus walked."
We can't make it this year, thank you, but maybe others ASAers might be interested.
This "High Adventure in Israel" tour, October 16-25, includes a campout at the Sea
of Galilee. It's for men and boys only, 10 days for $635 (men) or $435 (boys under
12). Another 5-country, 15-day Bible Lands tour in the spring of 1975 is presumbably
open to anyone except Arab terrorists. "Revivaltime" speaker C. M. Ward will be
guest lecturer on that one. For information, contact David A. Lewis, P. 0. Box 1051,
Fairmont, West Virginia 26554.
Dave is an Assemblies of God evangelist who, besides being an Associate in ASA and
the Creation Research Society, is a member of the Bible-Science Foundation and the
Evolution Protest Movement of England. He seems to cover lots of bases and refers
to himself as a World Traveler, Lecturer, and Eschatologist.
Me? I hope to become a Jerichologist before the gereologists get me.
PEOPLE LOOKING FOR POSITIONS
John P. Chan (Dean of Natural Science and Engineering Faculty, Hong Kong Baptist
College, Kowloon, Hong Kong) wants to spend a summer sabbatical leave in the United
States in a research group that could provide about $2500 of stipend. His research
fields are (a) liquid crystals, (b) acoustic propagation in liquid metals, and (c)
Au and Sn deposition on stainless steel substrates. He gave a paper this spring in
Tokyo at an International Conference on Crystal Growth. Dr. Chan is highly recommended on both a personal Christian basis and a professional basis by
F. Alton
Everest, who knew him in Hong Kong as a stalwart of the college there. Alton asked
Dick Bube for help, but Dick says there is nothing at Stanford in Chan's field. Can
other readers of ASA News come up with a suggestion?

NEW DIRECTORY - PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW
If you have used our last directory to locate a member. you have probably discovered
that at least a third of the addresses don't work. We plan to remedy that situation
this summer by printing a new geographical directory of members. It will be mimeographed this time to save money and will be free of charge to any member of the ASA.
We will not send them automatically to anyone - you must make request to the Elgin
office. Just drop us a card with your name and address, and specify that you want
the "new directory." There will be some delay in mailing them since we need to get
your response before we know how many to run off. Please send your request right
away so you will be sure to get one.
"Magicians have branded him a fraud. Yet some physicists are convinced he has ESP. And in the wake of his travels he is leaving a trail of scientists and laymen alike who are bending their minds trying to explain the bent keys in their pockets -- prized souvenirs which Geller claims were the work of an extraterrestrial intelligence operating through him. Far out?
The British journal "New Scientist" recently announced that it has impaneled a multidisciplinary research committee to study Geller, observing that his powers (if they are genuine) 1would be of tremendous significance for the future of scientific theory and practice.'The Stanford Research Institute (SRI)has been conducting experiments with Geller for the past two years, and Bell Labs and the Rand Corporation have also expressed interest in studying his reputed clairvoyant and psychokinetic talents.
"We can safely quit equivocating about his apparent ability and say that it is evident that Geller does have paranormal (perceptual) ability," stated SRI physicist Dr. Russell Targ last September. Targ and his colleague Dr. Harold Puthoff are more guarded about Geller's ability to influence physical objects with his mind, but only because they haven't yet produced an adequately controlled test.
They have film of Geller influencing laboratory balances and magnetometers, bending spoons, shattering a quartz crystal, and materializing a piece of cutlery in thin air. still to come: a test to see if he can bend a lazer beam in a vacuum -- a "physical impossibility", of course*,*
Scientists identified with claims as far fetched as Geller's inevitably attract detractors, and Targ, Puthoff and SRI have not been spared the skeptics' sting. It's hardly surprising that psychologists, the people who coined the phrase "reality-testing," are in the thick of the controversy,
From the beginning, the war has been waged in the media. Geller has been stumping the TV talk show circuit, demonstrating his metallurgical wonders before close-up lenses...
"Time" magazine ran a story last March on the SRI experiments which implied that Geller was a fraud and that Targ and Puthoff were either "duped" or co-conspirators in the deception. "New York!' magazine echoed this assessment in an article last September.
But different people seem to come away with different impressions of Uri depending upon their preconceptions."
