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. Biola College imposes certain specific guidelines for the conduct of faculty, staff and students. Although such regulations cannot improve upon our standing 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 com munity 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, ex pect tangible evidence of maturing Christian convictions and discerning judgment. PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS AND CONDUCT The academic programs at Rosemead are designed to prepare a student for licensure (on the doctoral level) by the professional licensing boards of the various states.
