THE BIOLA CAMPUS The campus is bounded on the west by Biola Avenue and on the east by La Mirada Boulevard. It is located between the large east-west thoroughfares of Rosecrans Avenue and Imperial Highway. Approximately three miles to the south is the Santa Ana Freeway. Students coming to the campus by automobile should follow these directions: coming from the west, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Rosecrans and travel east to Biola Avenue; coming from the southeast, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Valley View and travel north to Rosecrans, then turn right to Biola Avenue; coming from the east via San Bernardino Freeway (U.S. Highway 60, 70, 99), turn south on California Highway 39 to Imperial Highway, and right on Imperial to Biola Avenue. Campus buildings include Sutherland Hall, Marshburn Hall, Crowell Hall, and the Science Hall-all large instructional facilities that house classrooms, audi toriums, and offices. Additional campus buildings are the Rose Memorial Library, the cafeteria, the student union, the gymnasium, the Pierce-Hunt Memorial Infirmary, several residence halls, the Rose of Sharon Prayer Chapel, and other structures. The master plan calls for the erection of additional buildings within the next few years. On the eastern side of the campus lie the athletic fields. Included are a crushed brick quarter mile track, an excellent baseball diamond, and tennis courts. THE NATURE AND STANDARDS OF BIOLA COLLEGE Biola College serves a broad spectrum of evangelical churches among which there are differences of opinion as to what practices are acceptable for Christians. A student of Biola College is expected to conduct himself according to the highest Christian standards of honesty, integrity, responsibility and love toward his brethren in Christ. In harmony with the principles of Romans 14, I Corinthians 10 and 13 and II Corinthians 6, the rule by which he lives is the conscious striv ing for God's ~pproval and the conscious protection of his Christian testimony. In order to "give none offence" and to better benefit from the spiritual emphasis of Biola College all students are required to enter into an agreement to refrain from certain practices which are contrary to the standards of the college. This agreement is required at each fall registration until the student either graduates or withdraws from the college. The specific practices listed below are not in tended to set the limits of acceptable Christian conduct but are indicative of the overall standards of the college. Any student who fails to demonstrate a positive testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ, or who fails to appreciate and benefit from the spiritual emphasis of the college may be asked to withdraw. The specific practices which the college believes are hindrances to a Christian's life and testimony and from which all students are to refrain while they are in Biola College are: the use of illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages, or tobacco; attendance at commercial movies, dancing, the use of playing cards, and gambling in any form. The college expects students to avoid extremes in their dress and personal appearance. Copies of the current dress code for men and for women may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Students. 17
