A Message (concised) from President Dr. Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University
By Andrew K. Benton

Promise are important to our community. The promise we make today provide the foundation for the work we will do tomorrow. Faithfulness to our heritage ennobles and illuminates all that we do. I have not forgotten the pormise I made in my inaugural address as I took office in the year 2000.

Since beginning the leadership opportunity, I continue to believe that our greatest challenge are contained in the areas of resources, deversity, heritage, community, and scholarship. We have managed our resources well during this challenging period. We have increased our diversity.

I think our heritage provides light, really good light, for learning. We illumininate lives with immutable truths and notions of oughtness and rightness. We ask no quarter in our competition with the finest, shinning institutions of learning in America, and we offer the brilliance and the unique dimension of values in our classes. We invite the presence of God in the midst of all that we do: that, more than anything else, lights our way.

As much as I feel urgency about other things, I feel urgency about fidelity and constancy and stewarship in our heritage of faith. there is power in imagery, and there is power in words. Here are some of the most powerful works I've seen --- our mission statement:

"Pepperdine is a christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strenghtened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership." *2

According to the report entitled "FACT-FINDING TRIPS" by Las Vegas Review-Journal on January 22, 2003, also completing a trip overseas, Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., returned from Taiwan with a view that China poses a military threat to the island nation-Republic of China, but both side of the country benefit from trading goods with each other.

Berkley departed for Republic of China on January 12, 2003. She was accompanied by seven other House members and two former congressmen. All of them are members of the 119-member Taiwan Caucus. The Caucus for the Republic of China was formed in the U. S. Congress in 2002.

The visiting team of the U. S. congressional delegation participate Asian Pacific Security Conference in Taipei. Congresswoman Berkley was a member of a panel on trilateral relations among the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. With Berkley the national lawmakers also met with leaders of the Republic of China.

The Congresswoman recognized that it is no secret that the Chinese mailand has 400 missiles aimed at Taiwan and Taiwan is also very concerned about the Korean peninsula, but Taiwan wants to maintain its robust trade with China. "It brought in $60 billion last year," said Berkley.

"The visiting trip for me joined by my husband Larry cost our taxpayers nothing, because it was paid by an independent group supporting them. I thought this was a very important trip because it gave me perspective on how important the United States is to the well being of that region," Congresswoman Berkley points out.*4
