rnuer Vol. XXXII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, April 1, 1964 No. 13 Dorm Construction Still on Schedule ' Work on the new girls dorm is right up to date." stated Mr. Ned Saunders, head of the Union Col- lege construction department. "If all goes according to schedule, this latest campus addition will he ready for use this fall." The four floors of dorniilon rooms, which together will house 125 ladies, are expected to be completed by the beginning of the '64-'65 school term. However, the halls which connect the new dorm to die old will be completed after that date. Construction on two new class- rooms of the Helen Hyatt Elemen- tary School was scheduled to be- gin March 1 and be completed for classes this fall. Since the Piedmont Park Church and the Northside Church have joined Col- lege View Church in this building project, a new date has not vet been set, reported Saunders. Julv 1 has been desiginated as the beginning of Stage B of Col- lege View Academy. So for a while this will mean three projects will be under construction. Then widi an eye to the future, tentative plans have been made for the science hall addition and a new college library. Manv applications have been re- ceived for summer work, Saunders said. Nineteen students are now working part-time. With a full- time crew this summer he expects good progress on the projects. Battle Creek's History Related by Vande Yere History of the Seventh-day Ad- ventist church was featured in the week-end lectures of Dr. E. K. Vande Vere, chairman of the history department of Andrews University, March 27-30. The four lectures were on thr founding and role of Battle Creel College, the first institution of higher education established b SDA's. For Friday evening vesper his talk was entitled "What Manne: of Man" and the Sabbath mornin'" church sen-ice, "Shall We Doubt Our History?" Dr. Vande Vere has given thesi lectures at Andrews Graduat< School twice. His information ha come from his probing into thr files of Battle Creek's early organ ization. The talks may contaii some "unvarnished history" accord- ing to Vande Vere; he says the have not yet been met with dis- approval. When asked why history is im portarit and why we should stud\ it, he said, "Why not? Why tread life's maze without a memory?" Carol Sue Spangle, orator, and Tom Robinson, artist, walked away with first prizes at the ATS contest. Other winners were Bob Bird 2nd, Jim Gardiner 3rd in oration; Dwight Mayberry, 2nd, Tom Robinson and Froncis Fuller 3rd, in posters; Stanely Hagen 1st, Terry Kaiser 2nd, Tom Robinson 3rd, in jingles. "I Hear America Singing' ASB Social on March 28 "I hear America Singing" was the tide for the March 28di pro- gram sponsored by the ASB social -•ommittee. Narrating the program was Dale Hepker, instructor in English. Mr. Iicpker began with the reading of Wall Whitman's poem, "I Hear America Singing," and by using additional poetry and comments he tied the musical scores of the pro- gram together. Representing die early Colonial period in song, were Marvin Pon- der and Herman Haqi who sang 'Greensleeves." Wayne Anderson recalled die Revolutionary War by singing "Yankee Doodle" to the accompaniment of a drum and fife. The Civil War was portrayed n the South by Wellington Wil- son's "I Dream of Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair," and in the \Torth by Wayne Hancock singing "All's Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight." "Ghost Riders in the Sky" was sung by Dale Bern,- to represent the saga of the cowboy. Further developments in Ameri- :an History from the 1890's to the iresent were portrayed in song as ollows: "In the Good Old Sum- ncrtime," by Judy Thayer, Linda Locke, Kit Swanson, and Linda "Seltman; "Over There," by Dwight Englerup; "Always," by Bev Keith; Goodnight Sweetheart," by Eve- lyn Bird, Kit Watts, and Valerie Nelson, and "Beyond die Reef" bv La Vera Lee, Vernon Lee, and Har- vey Kilsby. Concluding the program was "Keep America Singing," by the Knights of Harmony quartet. The Social Committee under die direction of Diane Fuller, consists of Rayetta McCinnis, Frances Ful- ler, Ken Matthews, and Rick Ko- sinski. Iris Donaly Hired As Asst. Principal Miss Iris Donaly has recendy been selected as assistant principal of the newly combined Helen Hyatt Elementary School and Col- lege View Academy, announced principal Gerry Thompson. This position will place Miss Donaly, a veteran of 40 years of teaching, in charge of die elemen- tary section of the educational unit. Not more than one half of her time will be spent in administra- tion, as she will continue to teach. A fifth grade teacher, she is in her eleventh year at Helen Hyatt. In 1953 she earned her B.A. de- gree from Walla Walla College, Walla Walla, Washington; and in 1958 she graduated with a M. Ed. degree from the University of Nebraska. Miss Donaly is a native Nebraskan raised at Fremont. Vickie Danielson contributes to Kaleidoscope with an oil reproduction of Glacier View Camp Colo. Prospective Students Welcomed Three hundred and thirty-six a- cademy seniors representing the ten academies in the Union College territory will spend the April 12-14 weekend on the Union College campus. Sound and Light No. 2 MY Program April 10 April 10, the first Friday eve- ning after vacation ends. Kit Watts of die MV Executive Committee will bring "The Lamb of God" to the student body in sound and light. This will be the second such pro- duction this school year, the first being "The Christmas Story" con- cerning Christ's birth. The World, who told much of this first story, will be back with first hand accounts of Jesus of Nazarcdi as a lad, of Christ as a young and popular preacher, of our Lord as he gloriously entered Jerusalem on that last week, but who died alone at its end, and then even more gloriously arose. Adding their portions of the nar- rative will be two new symbols for Rome and Judea. These are die fascicle and priest's breastplate. The carpenter's bench has much to tell of Christ's early life. Also, very close to Jesus were a pair of sandals who went on many mis- sions of love with the Master. Ken Albertson, Don Schneider, and Kent Seltman supply voices foi the story tellers as diey did in the Christmas program, the world, Rome, and Judea. Rick Kosinski, Roger Stocker, and Evelyn Bird al- so narrated. Three choirs have prepared re- portedly very outstanding numbers for this occasion. The MV Choir, the Golden Chords Chorale, and the Elementary choirs, as well as die Harmonettes and the Knights of Harmony will add their talents to the production. Kit mentions that "The Lamb of God" does not place too much em- phasis on the crucifixion itself but rather lets the audience take a step backward and get a perspective of "the real meaning of what Christ did when he became the Lamb of God."

As in previous years, diere will be special treats for the children. A novelty number entitled "Three Trees" will be performed for tliem. Also, an added feature for the a- dults which will bring a surprise is the number "The Instant Conduc- tor." Odier numbers on the program will be "Wagon Wheels," "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be," ' Come to the Fair," "Wondrous Cool," "Thou Woodland Quiet," "Echo Song," and the main feat- ured number will be die "Grieg Piano Concerto" performed with the orchestra by DeLor.i Haas, Soph- omore music major The orchestra is made up of sec- lccted people from the college band and die orchestra, and the Union- aires make up the choral group. Decorations for the program are being made under the direction of Mrs. Jean Hill, instructor of art. Monday morning campus tours and class visitations are planned. Monday afternoon an inter-acad- emy field and tiack event will be sponsored by the Promotions Com- mittee. Monday evening an informal part)- under the direction of Mr. W. I. Rankin, instructor in speech and English, is planned for the gym. Monday's 9:20 convocation per- iod will be give a by the visiting seniors. "This is going to be a snap coarse," says Union's new Business Law instructor April Foolishly. Asa Christensen, Attorney Will Teach Business Law UC will use die services of a lawyer next year on a part time instructor basis. Asa Christensen, of Lincoln will teach die Business Law class. This class is in die business department 'curriculum. Dr. Paul Joice is the new chairman of the business de- partment. Christensen graduated from UC in 1949 and from the NU Law school in 1953. His first job was working the legal department of an insurance company as a claims adjuster. From '58-'63 he was head of the legal department of the right away sec- tion for die Department of Roads in die state of Nebraska. Since die fall of '63 he has been in private practice in College View. Christensen and his wife Eunice have four children: Vicki, age 13, Terry, age 12, Jo, age 10, and Bud, age 6. 2 CLOCK TOWER April 1, 1964 Come On Along: UC Travelers Bound For East and South by R. K. Nelson Early Monday morning June 8 about thirty Union College stu- 'dents will leave by bus for thirty adventure filled days of travel through thirty states, the District of Columbia, and Ontario, Canada. This will be the tenth Union College History Tour. There will be study, classes, and travel nearly every day. Since tlie bus will be equipped with a microphone, most of the classes will be held while rolling across America. Four hours of college credit may be earned. The route of travel will be from Union College to Detroit, Niagara Falls, Boston, New York, Washing- ton, Richmond, Atlanta, St. Augus- tine, New Orleans, and return. History will become much more meaningful by visiting tlie places where it really happened. Some of tlie historic sites to be seen will include: Plymouth Rock, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Valley Forge, Get- tysburg, Harper's Ferry, Bull Run, Fort Sumter, Lookout Mountain, and St. Augustine. The month of travel will not, however, be all work. There will be time to attend the New York World Fair, see Chinatown, the Bower)', the Aniish region of Penn- sylvania, an underground river, explore Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia, take a boat ride through a Florida jungle, and swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Expenses of the tour will be kept at a minimum by staying most of tlie nights at Adventist colleges and academies. Admission to places of interest is nearly al- ways much less for school groups. World Fair tickets arrived last week; they are one-third cheaper than tickets purchased at the gate. On Sabbath June 13 the group will worship deep in a forest in the first Adventist church near Wash- ington, N.H. They will also visit Faidi for Today, the Review and Herald, and the General Confer- ence headquarters. Tour members who need to earn more than four hours of college credit during the summer may en- ter other classes on the campus when they return July 7. Are Union College History Tours interesting, educational, and worth while? For your answer, ask any former mem- ber. Since the enrollment is limited by the size of the bus, anyone in- terested in going on the tour should contact the Union College History department as soon as possible.

VW Bus Victory for N urses Fits Amid Host of Activities The Denver Campus now has a new green and white Volks- wagon microbus. This bus is the result of a campaign conducted by the Denver nursing students and the pre-nursing students on the Lincoln campus. The medical staff of Porter Memorial Hospital contributed a large sum to make the purchase of the bus possible. Other funds were raised from the sale of candy, auto washes, contributions from rela- tives and friends, and benefit pro- grams. Senior Students, sponsored and supervised by Miss Amanda Sloane, associate professor of nursing, have had opportunity during the past Prospective Interns Encouraged at Porter At the invitation of Porter Hos- pital, the Union College pre-med students spent March 13-15 on the Denver Campus. "It is hoped that these students will take their internship here upon graduating from medical school," stated tlie sponsoring physician. The nine stu- dents plus Dr. Rene Evard their sponsor, left Lincoln Wednesday afternoon. They viewed tlie Porter Hospital facilities Thursday and Friday and took in one of Colorado's sports- skiing. Friday evening the group pre- sented "Bible Password" for tlie nurses' MV program. March Social Climaxed By Staff's Grand March The March social committee of the Union College faculty and staff had a part)' and potluck supper on Tuesday evening, March 31 in the College Auditorium. A grand march led by Delmer Holbrook, director of college re- lations office, climaxed an evening of table games, volleyball, table tennis, and shuffleboard. Robert Murray, instructor in music, played tlie piano music to accompany the march. Each faculty family that attend- ed brought a least one dish, ac- cording to Miss Sharon Chatfield, committee chairman. The commit- tee furnished die drink and dessert. "Every month a different com- mittee is in charge of the faculty social," said Miss Chatfield, "and each committee is called by the name of the month in which they plan the social." This month the committee sent out invitation typed out like a newspaper column, then they glued this onto actual newspaper col- umn to make it more authentic looking. GOTFREDSON MOTORS | 55 CHEVY i.t- tended a series entitled "Your Cov- enant With God" in which the Ten Commandments were inter- preted by die Gospel of John. Eld- er Allen presented each student with a copy of One Way For Mod- erns, an edition of the J. B. Phil- lip's translation of the Gospel of John illustrated with pictures taken of life in Chicago, 111. Campion students were encour- aged to let love rather than neces- sity dictate their daily experience. Elder Bresee said, "The approach was not popular, but some students responded well." "We had a good week," Elder Bresee stated. "There is a good atmosphere on campus, friendly and spiritual. One thing that I es- pecially appreciated was that the seniors helped lead out during the week. They had prayer bands be- fore classes and directed their in- fluence in the right direction." The professors of religion were kept busy counseling and speaking to Bible classes on the two campuses. African Looks at His Continent The Marais* Lectures Corrected It was indeed a great privilege to listen to the remarkable talk of Dr. Marais, on Africa. As an Afri- can I was especially interested in what a person from South Africa was going to say about the rela- tionship of South Africa to the rest of Africa. Whereas I enjoyed very much Dr. Marais' speeches, I did not agree with him on several things; and I am sure many Africans would share my opinion. I do not, however, claim to be a politician but my general contact with fellow Africans at home, my experience as an African born and raised in an African community, and my travel in many other African countries qualifies me to disagree with a few of the things which were spoken by the able speaker. Colonization Prior to 1492, the date for the first colonization of an African Kingdom (Angole) by Portugal, our continent comprised several sovereign states that exercised com- plete control over their internal as well as dieir external affairs. Mili- tary aggression and subsequent colonization was embarked upon by various European powers widi a view to gaining easy access to the vast supply of raw materials in Africa. Thus in 1885, the European pow- ers meeting in Berlin carved Africa into spheres of influence. Conse- quently, Africa's history for the last five hundred years can be jus- tifiably considered a catalogue of struggle against colonialism. The struggle which is at its final and decisive stage. African Democracy Prior to European domination, tho chiefs reigned rather dian rul- ed. The Africans exercised democ- racy. Mr. G. C. Brocle, writing about Nyasaland, describes tra- ditional African democracy as: "The elders sit under a big tree and talk until they agree." This "talk- ing until they agree" is tlie crux of die traditional African concept of democracy. To the minds molded by western parliamentary tradition and west- ern concepts of democratic institu- tions, die idea of an organized op- $287 62 PONTIAC $1587 f Sport Coupe Trimed in Hondorous Maroon—Very Clean $287 62 IMPALA $1887 a Blue & White V8 Hardtop Red & White IN COLLEGE VIEW 48 YEARS Ti 4714 Prescott 3915 So. 48th v> Read the Conversion story of a former Unionite from South Dakota in "The Book in The Attic.'' Neb. Book & Bible House Irish Green Dominates Campus Women's Club St. Patrick's Day furnished the theme for Campus Women's Club meeting on Sunday March 15. Each committee member for the even- ing's entertainment wore a green bonnet. Miss Floda Smith, president, took charge of the club business. Mrs. Viola Welch told of the work that Miss Florence Moline, a former UC mathematics teacher, is doing in Southern Rhodesia where she is serving on the faculty of Solusi College. The club voted to send $100 to Miss Moline to be given to worthy students there. CWC will also present $50 to two Union College students, $25 to a young lad)' and $25 to a young man at Honor's Convocation in May. Two skits directed by Mrs. Op.il Dick were presented: the first one portrayed a bit of Irish wit and the second one demonstrated "Cal- ling Hour" at the ladies' dorniitor) , South Hall, 70 years ago. Mrs. Thelma Norman was chairman of the program committee. Wiener's Texaco Tires, Batteries, Accessories, Complete Service 48th & Calvert 488-9990 by Mutuku John Mutinga position group has become so familiar that is absence raises die cry of "dictatorship." It is futile to tell the Africans that when a group of 100 equals have set and talked togedier "until die)' agree" where to dig a well (and "until they agree" implies that they will have produced man)' conflicting argu- ments before they did eventually agree) they have not practiced democracy. Basically, democracy is govern- ment by discussion as opposed to government by force, and by dis- cussion between die people or their chosen representatives as opposed to a hereditary clique. Under the tribal system whether diere was a chief or not, African society was a society of equals; and it conducted its business by dis- cussion. Most unfortunately, after the division of Africa into various spheres of influence by European powers, the cliiefs were made stooges of die governments. They were given armed soldiers with which to implement decision of the colonization for exploitation and calmed with a more dian ade- quate monetary supply for their comforts. Land Owners These types of chiefs still exist in governments run by minority groups like Soudi Africa and An- gola but are extinct in any African independent country because they do not represent die African way of government. Tlie land is not owned by the chief but by the people. Every per- son has his own land and he can even dispose of it at his own will or buy extra pieces of land if he so desires. This situation, however, does not exist in South Africa where the white population which comprises only 16 per cent of die total population owns 84 per cent of die land. Even a small percent- age of the whites are large land- owners. Economics Poor Africa, I agree, is economically a poor nation at present; but any student of geography would agree diat Africa is potentially very rich widi all types of raw materials. It is only a little more than a decade since African states began to stand on dieir feet. Previously all raw materials had been taken out of the countries to feed industries in Europe and to provide employment for the people working in those countries. Today die wind has changed its course and industrialization of the country is a primary goal of any newly independent country. This results in a surge of economy of the coun- try concerned. "Tribalism" The slogan "tribablism" has al- ways been a colonial tool for the "divide and rule policy," which we Africans are already immune to. A generalization of language bar- riers, hostility among various tribal groups are among many tools to dismande die African's unity. The word tribe when applied to Africa, however, is not differ- ent from usage of a term Slav, Heruli, Angle, or Saxon. Indeed, a tribe is not limited to staying in a given area. Individuals can move to whatever part of the country they want to live in just as easily and freely as a German can move from Pennsylvania to Nebraska. Whereas the various tribes ma\ have different languages, English or French dominates in any part of Africa, and there are main na- tive languages covering big areas and commonly known by tlie peo- ple living in those areas. So. . . . The Africans can have no room for division or difference todav. This is their time of emergency; and until their war against poverty . ignorance and disease has been won, they will not let their units- be destroyed by listening to am stipulation to destroy these goals. In connection with this Mr. Lu- Uiuli, the African Nobel prize win- ner, has said tiiat Africa's qualifica- tion for this noble t isk is incon- testable, for her own light has never been and is not now a light for conquest of land, for accumula- tion of wealth, or domination of people, but for recognition and preservation of the right of man and die establishment of a truly free world for a free people. This, 1 believe, is a motive shared bv many if not all African leaders.

The "Golden Cords" Precipitates Reciprocal Action Union College, tlie "College of the Golden Cords," sends. Eight- hundred and thirty-three men and women have trained and gone over- seas as of June, 1963. But the ac- tion is reciprocal. For in return, Union College receives. This year Union College has re- ceived 40 students from other parts of the world besides the United States and North America. They represent seventeen different coun- tries with samplings from Africa, Central and South America, and die Far East. Why do diey come to Union? "The President of our mission is a Union College graduate," com- mented Alvin Ulloa and George Taitano, pre-meds from Guam. "My father visited several col- leges in the United States and be- lieved Union College was the best one," revealed Eunice Escondon, a minister's daughter from Ven- ezuela. by Kit Watts Irma Martinez, a dietetics major from Panama, reflected, "I had four cousins who attended Union—and talked about it all the time!" Second semester students from Singapore, Caleb Liem, Carolina Lim, and Matthew Tan, were in- spired by recent Colden Cord bear- ers there to attend UC. What are these students doing? Seventy per cent of them are en- rolled in medical training courses including pre-medicine, nursing, medical technology, and dietctics. Others are enlisted under teacher- training programs in tlie secondary and elementary levels, or for pro- fessional courses in secretarial sci- ence, mathematics, engineering, and theology. Coming to the United States is definitely an adjustment proposi- tion for them. The most noticed differences to take in stride are weather conditions and American food. What are these current Unionites planning for the future? Shuzo Uyenaka, who has com- pleted a theology course and done graduate work in this field, is pre- sently filling out requirements for a history major. His wife, Fumiko Nobuhara Uyenaka, looks for a de- gree in mathematics next year. Are you going back to Japan? "Where else is there to go? It seems like the right thing to do. When I came to the United States this was my goal, and I want to fulfill it," state- ecl Fumiko. Joseph Liem of Singapore com- mented, "As soon as my brother and sister finish their studies in medi- cine, we are going home together." A nursing major from Hong Kong, Lydia Ho, emphasized, "I feel I belong there." Ronald Wu, the fourth in a line of brothers to attend UC, has been accepted at LLU for next year. "When I finish my medical train ing I definitely plan on mission ser- vice wherever the need is greatest,' he commented. Pre-med major Gladys Bustmante of Columbia said, "I want to help the people tiiere—I feel I should serve those who don't have money for medical help." Union College is proud to have fledgling missionaries nurturing their ambitions for service here. These students give an internation- al flavor to our campus and keep the fires burning bright for mission service—and more Golden Cords.

Attention, all practical jokerth! I am ath of thith minute delivering you fair warning! Any thpecial practical joke you may have re- therved for me on thidi April Fool'th day, you can jutht forget! In my ? yearth of teaching thehool I've learned about everv joke in the book. In fact, I could very likely give you a few dillyth of which you've never even dreamed. Theriouthly though, who hath more fun on thith holiday for prac- tical jokerth than boytli and girlth (bethideth adulth that ith)? The day beginth with mother and dad—the favorite targeth for young pranktherth. Junior cometh barrelling into the kitchen, thcree- cheth to grinding thtop, lookth at liith Man and thayth, "Hey, Mom, what'di that big black thpot on your dreth?" Then while hith poor dethperate, dithtraught mother tiiearchth vainly for tlie thmudgc, her firth-born collaptheth into a fit of laughter in the middle of the kitchen floor. Dad itii next. At precithely the right moment, our little friend lookth innocently at hith parent and thayth, "Dad, how come you didn't thhave thith morning? Now Dad knowtli perfectly well that he thaved, but he is taken by thurpritho that involuntarily he raitheth hith hand to feel—thatith- faction imaginable. After telling hith thister her bow ith untied and tricking the neigh- bor into fliinking today ith Tueth- day not Wednethday, Junior ith ready, willing and very able to cauthe havoc in hith teacherth well-planned day. - He will motlit likely begin by- telling her that her dreth ith ripped or her thearnth are crooked; or, if ho'th very brave, he may even thuggetht diat she hadi one hothe of one diade and one of another. Ath the day progretheth, the range of hith April Foolth joketh ith wide indeed. There'th the piece of thoap covered to look like a piece of chocolate candy for hith thpecial buddy, the plathtic ink blot on a theme for HITH girl, the cardboard in the thandwich for anyone gullible enough to fall for it, and die "ex-lax candy" for hidi bodium enemy. Hith crowing matherpiece ith. re- therved for the teacher. For thith precidie moment he hath waited all day. Handing her a gaily wrapped package, he athumeth a look tho angelic, hitli teacher can almotht thee the thhine of hith halo. "Here," he thayth, "I've been playing triekth on everybody all day and I guedi maybe I wathn't too nice thonitimeth, tho I brought you a litde gift. Ot ithn't much, just a litde onel" With a thniile that would dith- ann even the motlit hard-hearted cynic, he placeth the gift into the waiting handth, jumpth on hith bike, thwingth hith jacket over hith shouldeth, and thartdi off toward home. By now the teacher itii tho touched by liith generothity and pretty tlipeech, thhe'th hating her- thelf for all the thingth thlie wanted to do to him all day.

Dennis Bartel's 23 tallie: led the winner's front line point production followed by Wayne Widicker's 15 and Bob Bischoff? 13 points. The outside shooting of Paul Gnadt added 16 more mark ers to the Dorm's total. The hot scoring hand of Kifi Achord kept the village close foi awhile. Kiff hit 26 points. But the tired Villagers couldn't keep pact with the Dorm's strength provided by Ron Knapp, Ed Rosaasen, anc Wayne Vorhies. The Village tean was pooped at the final buzzer Gaylord Klein and Eldo Harr scor ed 12 and Newt Longhofer 11 points for the losers. Softball Fever Spring training has started, soft ball fever is in the air, and the 1964 UC intramural softball team have been chosen, but at this writ- ing you can't tell a softball from a snowball. And maybe its just as well old man winter dribbled in one more time, for the weather is die basketball inspiring type, and that's just the word for play in the UC basketball tournament—inspir- ing. It's funny what pressure will do to some good teams, make them fall apart, or to some not so good teams, make them find themselves If Union College could play Cin- derella and find a glass slipper ir diis tournament, the slipper would be named Stephens. For after go ing the regular season without a single victory, Big Red's crew won the hearts of the spectators and al so won enough games to put diem into the semi-finals. But oops, Cin- derella dropped her slipper and it broke. Stephens met Widicker and that was all she wrote, for Steph- ens. So Hank's quintet must win two games to be die tournament cham- pions and both of diose wins must be taken from Johnson. Ever try to take honey from a bee's nest; You get stung. And Johnson's team has stung everyone its met so far as they make their move to become the first team in some time to win •Tie league and then proceed to dr. the same feat in tlie tourney, un- defeated no less. Widicker has lost one game in this double elimina- tion event, Johnson has lost none. Can Widicker w i n those two games? I don't think so, so I'll quickly run out on a leafless limb and say congratulations to John- son's roundballers. All Stars Widi die end of any sports sea- son the "all star," "all league" "all school" and "all everydiing" teams inevitably pop up. Well Union Col- lege is no exception, and at the close of a fine basketball cam- paign, the CT's board of experts presents the Union College All School Basketball team. . . The Starting center is Dean "Tex" Simp- son. In Big Deans last season on the UC hardwood he successfully de- fended his scoring championship bv again leading the league in the point production department, this time with a 29.5 average. Undoubtedly the school's best player, Simpson should show those Texans how B- ball is really played. At right for- ward we find Dennis Bartel. Not counting faculty members (Simp- son) Bartel is Union's best all around player. He can't be stop- ped once he gets the ball any- where around the lane. Denny scored 165 points in the seven ?°me league for 23.4 average. The opposite forward post is handled by Gaylord Klein. Gaylord played in only 6 regular season games but still managed to rank 6th on the top 10 scoring list. By adding a 'ine hook shot to his shooting skills, Gaylord averaged 23.2 points a ^ame. Paul Gnadt holds the start- ing right guard spot, where the -eason found him scoring most of his 183 points, a total that put him second on the top 10 list with 26.1 average. Gnadt's running mate is Gene Johnson. The stand- ing alone back up diis choice but ene's great hustle and 22 point per game average helps too. Bartel, Klein, and Gnadt are all repeaters from last years first team. Only be- cause the faculty members weren't chosen last year is diis entire team not repeating All School honors. The second team finds Bob Bis- choff at center, with Wayne Wid- icker and Kiff Achord at forwards. Red Stephens and Ed Storey are the guards.

From April 10-14 many impressions will be received—some good, some bad. The question is what kind of impression will you leave? The visiting students from the high schools, and acad- emies will be impressed for better or for worse with our phy- sical plant, the cold routine, but probably their most lasting impressions will be formed in the dormitory rooms. Kindness is always appreciated. Union has tlie valued reputation of not noticing imposi- tions. That type of reputation has value for everyone. In the last issue of die Clock Tower there appeared an editorial stating that college students, 1964 variety, have no regard for anything that does not at least drift onto the desolate beach a student calls his own personal domain. We would suggest that this type of student has had very little personal contact with Christianity. We as Christians are reported capable of walking die second mile. Sometimes the second mile is difficult. But worth is often judged by difficulty. The crux of die problem is this: "Actions tend to speak much more forcefully than words." It is up to each of us. When You Care Enough, Give At least three of our students were intensley inter- ested in the lectures of Dr. Ben Marais, for their home is Africa. These young men are sincerely interested that their people receive justice and their cause is presented accurately. Many other UC students were also interested, for Africa is part of the world-tliis world is tiieir home. As Chris- tians, diey believe these peoples to be brothers and want jus- tice for them. Others, as revealed in the current Leditors were simply not concerned. Screwed tight in their own littie world they couldn't budge loose from the cramping Berlin Wall built as a barrier to the influence of the outside world and keep their biases far from the possibility of failure in trial. For many the apathy is seemingly a built-in defense mechanism—"If I don't learn I can't forget." "If I take no stand my cause can't lose." "If I don't write a Leditor I won't be re- futed in the Clock Tower." But this kind of "success" is a fallacy. An idea not spoken is worse than one not thought; nothing is achieved in this type of silence. One really doesn't know if his theory is fact unless experimentation is conducted. So he has really failed for neither he nor the world is any better for his thought. Some people won't ever break out the little sphere of self. But you will—if you try. The Melody Lingers On Another Spring Week of Prayer has come to Union and is now gone. But the melodies linger on: Not only the four-part harmony of the Faith for Today Quartet, but also the spir- itual harmonies presented by Elder Fagal. Other Weeks of Prayer have come and gone, and each time the student body of our college has appreciated the week of spiritual emphasis. The melodies of this past week still brighten our hearts. Although this group came and left our campus without fanfare, the week in between was stimulatingly comfortable. This time we appreciated the evidence that the Faith for Today group appeciated us by the little, special attentions that they showered upon us. How about a flat-top, Scotty? Our Mirror on the Wall by Ted Strieker Visiting Saigon last summer, I witnessed first-hand the situation in the tempestuous country of South Viet Nam. The South Vietnamese arc a fun-loving, vibrant people, but T could sense the tension in die air. Torn by circumstances beyond their control, they had a despotic dicta- tor who sought to perpetuate his religion by virtue of his powerful po- sition. Former President Diem attempted to force his brand of Chris- tianity on this predominantly Budhist country against the people's will. Amidst this turmoil, South Viet Nam has become the testing ground of Western power. Supposedly, tlie United States is seeking to propagate the principles of democratic government and free society. We linked hands with an absolute dictator and announced to die world that we would fight to the end to protect South Viet Nam against the insidious suppression of individual liberty that Communism so ostensibly prac- tices. As we went along hand in hand with the dictator, he inadvertently suppressed the democratic principles that the United States stands for and the result is that our country has become linked with tyranny. At the same time we blissfully courtcd the favor of the dictator, Communism made inroads with the people by promising them pure democracy and freedom from the oppression of their own dictator and that of a foreign power. This portrait of American diplomacy is not antitypical. Too often we have linked ourselves to corrupt or despotic governments, and to those people Uncle Sam has seemed to share this tyrannical identity while Communism has made prodigious strides by deceptively linking itself with the people and their interests. A True Christian Can Study Harder and Better by Sidney Allen (Editor's note) This article is a continuation of Sydney Allen's "Scholar Watcher" of the last issue. D v O A good scholar watcher will never be fooled. Devotion can no more be substituted for study than study can be substituted for devo- tion. Any man who attempts to substitute one for the other is neither a scholar nor a Christian. He is a quasi-scholar, a mutant variety caused perhaps by radio- activity from some obviously evil source. True Christianity will make a genuine scholar into a better one. He will obey the divine mandate uttered before man even fell into sin: "Fill the earth and subdue it . . 1" These are the marching orders for the scholar, given at tlie beginning of human history, earn - ing out these orders involved work for Adam just as it does for us to- day. Some people, of course, are will- ing to go to any lengths to avoid work. Thev had better not appeal to scriptural law and gospel to jus- tify their laziness however. God's revelation was not intended as a labor-saving device. Perhaps that is why it is so neglected in our time! Work was not given to man as a curse, but as a preventative. Adam and Eve were assigned tlie challenging task of making this world fit for lordlv creatures made in the image of God. This task in- volved the maximum use of all the powers, including the intellectual powers. We have spoken of how to distin- guish quasi-scliolars from tlie genu- ine variety, but we have not yet pointed out how to tell the Christ- ian scholar from other varieties. The field marks of the Christian scholar are: (1) he strives to be always truthful and kind in his work; (2) he believes the doctrines commonly associated with Christ- ianity, namely, the teachings of Holy Scripture. He will look at the materials of his studies, whether they be historical documents or musical scores or chemicals or physical processes or mathematical functions or zoological specimen; or Scriptural texts or schools or children with the belief that all of these phenomena are created bv God for man, who is made in Grd's image. He will work with a sense of responsibility not merely for tlie sake of power, pleasure, or fame for himself and his family but pre- eminently because he is grateful to his Creator and Redeemer. Identifying the Adventist type of scholar is quite easy. He differs from tlie common Christian variety largely because he emphasizes cer- tain beliefs which have been di- luted, neglected, or ignored. The two main beliefs which concern him are identified by his full scien- tific name "Seventh-day Adventist." The Adventist believes diat the doctrines of (1) die seventh-day Sabbath, involved as it is with be- lief in Creation as taught in Gene- sis and (2) the Second Advent of Christ, involved as it is with belief in God's Judgment, contain im- portant implications for scholarship. For this week's book notes, let me recommend die two volume e- dition (in paperback) of Emest J. Simmons' Leo Tolstoy. What a man! What a writer! What a story! What a biography!

Build a Fire Dear Editor, In response to you editorial "Will Our Boys Shine Tonight," I believe that if 600 people voted for the candidates for ASB office, they must, therefore, be interested in the ASB. If the said elected candidate would put as much effort into tin- program as was put into the cam- paign, people would support it. But. one must have something to sup- port if students are to support something. Let's have a program and pub- licize it through the official organ of the ASB, The Clock Tower. Our ASB with a program worth supporting—will be supported. Like they say, "If die pulpit catches fire, the folk will come to watch it burn." Sincerely, George Stone One or the Other Dear Editor, It pleasured me to read such a spirited and well-written piece as "What Price Integrity?" by Ray Roth in your March 19 issue. Would diat we had more discus- sions of problems of this type as long as we do not inhale our own views to deeply. I wonder if Mr. Roth might pon- der some of the following ques- tions. Is the choice before the American people really between fighting tlie ideology of Commu- nism or fighting poverty, hunger, disease, and social injustice? Must it be one or the odier? Would the foreign policy of Russia or China be substanciallv different today if they were ruled by governments which believe in Goldwater Capitalism? Can Mr. Rodi cite any evidence from the long history of these two countries which would indicate that Capital- ist ideology would make the foi- cign policy of these states more favorable to U.S. interests? Does Mr. Roth think he is being careful and critical when he says that the "Communists have no in- tegrity?" He says they have broken "over 62" treaties. Does the exist- ence of 62 liars in tlie Adventist Church (if there be that many) indicate that Adventists have no integrity? Does Mr. Roth mean to imply that Capitalists do have in- tegrity? Mr. Roth says that the United States is the only nation in the world which has Capitalism legally. Does he mean that other nations which follow capitalist economics have it illegally? Can he indicate anything in the; Constitution of the US which puts our founding fadiers on record in favor of "Root hog or die" competition 100 per cent? Does Mr. Roth think that com- munism is the cause of poverty, disease, hunger and social injustice in Latin America? He seems to imply this. Can he find the marks of Communism in Peru in 1900, for instance? Mr. Rodi says that Capitalism has brought about the greatest degree of progress and prosperity the world has ever known. Does he realize that this sounds very much like the sort of flag-waving which careful students try to avoid? Is Capitalism responsible for the few places left in our land which liavs not been turned into what a recent writer calls"God's own Junk- pile?" It is known fact that busi- ness has fought even National Park or Forest which contained any natural resources. Mr. Roth says that the poor nations have the wrong system of exchange. Peru is a poor nation, so is Venezuela. Anacenda Copper and Standard Oil have been well satisfied with their system of ex- desecration, change for years. Does Mr. Rodi really think this system produces well-fed people, progressive people, healthy people automatically? As a Christian I am convinced that we must avoid becoming parti- sans of doctrinaire socialist ide- ology and doctrinaire capitalist ideology as well. What do your readers think? Sincerely, Sydney Allen All in the Church? Dear Editor, The time lias come for the administration of Union Collegc to find some other place than the church as an assembly hall for the student body. From time to time the problem has been talked about in the light of Monday's chapel where I may safely say a good share of the students catch up on their studying. This is an obvious problem but no matter how often tlie students arc re- quested not to study, they continue in this practice. Let us consider another side of this problem. It has been generally understood that Monday's chapel services are aimed at a more re- ligious type of gathering while chapel in tin- gymnasium on Fri- day is of a secular nature. How often are these Monday's chapels sacred? The music adds to this spirit, but most often the lecture that follows does not. I'm not saving that inappropriate lectures have been held there, but wouldn't they be more in order if held in another place? Is it necessary for an irreverent atmosphere to exist in our church? Setting up chairs in the gy m may be a big job, but wouldn't it be worth it to save our church this Until we are able to get a regular assembly hall for this type of program, we will not be able to completely overcome this problem because neither the gy m nor the church (our only choices for as- sembly space) are entirely ade- quate for our needs. Sincerely. Judy Thayer Famished Fed Dear Editor, Someone was near starvation Sunday evening, March 22. No, he wasn't in a concentration camp, nor in some poverty-stricken moun- tain level. He was in the College View Church, attending a joint worship where the reknowned and respected in most areas of culture. Dr. Ben J. Marais of South Africa, was to speak. What of our poor starving soul" Never fear—he would not die- there was food at hand. As the speaker proceeded, our malnour- ished one, perhaps dwelling on the pleasure of his hunger; slow ly. luxuriantly, and loudly tore a bag of potato chips open. Our speaker mentioned hunger in Africa—the crunch of potato chips in tlie balcony, punctuated his words. Steadily the speaker proceeded in his discourse—stcadih tlie potato chips proceeded to th> internal maze of one who knew not, or cared not, that lie was giving one of the faces of civilized America a darker caste than that of any citizen of Dr. Marais' Africa. I trust the uncouth fellow is no longer hungry 1 also trust that Dr. Marais no longer considers Adventist American student quite so cultured as before. Signed Beverly Stevens
