STANDARDS OF CONDUCT Biola College serves a broad spectrum of evangelical churches among which there are differences of opinion as to what practices are acceptable for Chris tians. A student of Rosemead 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, 1 Corinthians 10 and 13, and 2 Corinthians 6, the rule by which he lives is the diligent attending of God's standards and the conscious protection of his Christian testimony. Rosemead is for earnest Christians who are sensitive to the many principles of Christian living that are found in the Bible . The atmosphere is that of grace not legalism . Biola College imposes certain specific guidelines for the conduct of faculty, staff and students. Although such regulations cannot improve upon our stand ing in Christ, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the individual and the school. To this end, Biola expects its faculty staff and students to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco, and from gambling and dancing. Further, Biola deplores the morally degrading elements that are now found in all forms of the theatre, the entertainment media, and literature. Members of the Biola community are expected to abstain from all aspects of such that morally degrade. Biola does not presume to be a censoring agency for all activities; it does, however, expect tangible evidence of maturing Christian convictions and discerning judgment.
