Engel Hall Openhouse and Organ Dedication - Dec. 8 A double treat is in store for music lovers Thursday night, De- cember 8, in Engel Hall, when the music department under the direc- tion of Dr. Melvin Hill, will hold open house and a dedication. Recently redecorated in contem- porary Italian, Engel Hall furnishes a fitting background for the dedi- cation of the newly purchased pipe organ. Mr. Myron Roberts, organ teacher at the University of Nebraska, will be guest artist in two short concerts as he demonstrates the possibilities of the new instrument. Between concerts, Mr. Roberts will conduct a question and answer session. Included in the redecorating scheme were new acoustic tile, carpeting, drapes, wall and ceiling lights, and a rejuvenated stage. At the present time Miss Opal Miller, organ teacher, is giving in- structions on the new organ eight hours a day. Campus Christmas Tree Lit in Ceremony Thurs. Union's newest musical instru- ment, the pipe organ, and Union's newest tradition the annual tree lighting were united in the cere- mony last night as President David J. Bieber pulled the switch to light the campus Christmas tree. Caroling grade schoolers directed by Mrs. Shirley Holzer, music in- structor, and community singing students led by Dan Saunders, sophomore music major, lent the traditional holiday music to the occasion. Phillip's translation of the Bible, read as scripture by Leslie Werner, freshman class president, told the Christmas story. Dr. Robert Cleveland, sponsor of the ASB promotions committee in 1957, initiated this tradition. The tree that has been lighted every year since is located at the south- west corner of the college library. The ASB promotions committee under the direction of Don Nicolay, chairman, planned the program. -NOTICE- Back copies of the Golden Cords are now on sale at $2.50 per book.

Of the thirty-two entries review- ed by the auditions committee in a five hour session, nineteen will com- pete for the $85 in cash prizes. Four students and four faculty members sat on the auditions com- mittee and judged the numbers on school standards, how well the en- try was known, how well it could be known, and the type of entry according to classical or light di- visions.

Well-known Local Rabbi Tells Students Beliefs During Chapel Monday Sponsored by the National Jewish Chataqua society as a part of their program to break down prejudice among various groups, Rabbi Wolf- gang Hamburger, of the South Street Temple, presented "What We Jews Believe," Monday. The Rabbi emphasized the fact that Judaism allows much room for free thought. It is not made up of a set of dogmas as such. He stated that the Jewish faith is based on a belief in the goodness and kindness of God. Elder Delmer Holbrook of the re- ligion department invited Rabbi Hamburger to have lunch with the Life and Teachings of Jesus class. After lunch the Rabbi explained some of the differences between or- thodox and Reformed Jews. He then answered questions con- cerning the beliefs of Jews today. In explaining the Jewish thought con- cerning the Messiah, Rabbi Ham- burger mentioned that the Ortho- dox Jew still looks for a literal Messiah. However, the Liberal Jews believe in the "Messianic age" when the earth will be filled with peace because men choose to live accord- ing to God's will. we don't belong to your church. We didn't know where our next meal was coming from." The child- ren became most excited with the good things to eat. "We'll be coming out to your church as soon as the children get well," the man said. Giving Canned goods were made avail- able to students at wholesale prices by Kuehl's store and were purchas- ed, for the first time this year, at the church annex. Cash vouchers transferred prices to student s' school bills. Almost every type of food from melted margerine to whole squash and pizza mix was represented. Someone brought a large sack of onions. The College View Dorcas society prepared the baskets which were distributed by UC students and church deacons. Trip To South America Tentative For Miss Hall Miss Pearl Hall, associate pro- fessor of Romance languages here at Union, has announced tentative plans for a trip to South America this summer. Her itenerary, which includes most of the South American coun- tries, is to visit as many Seventh- d a y Adventist hospitals, schools, and mission stations as possible. A one or two week trip on one of the medical launches of the Amazon has also been arranged for her. Miss Hall will be traveling with a teacher friend from Georgia. "Messiah" by Choir and Orchestra to Feature: Funkr Brownf Smoak, Snow, Brinegar Alumnus bass soloist, Arlo Funk ('59) will return for his part with the eighty voice "Messiah" choir for the presentation of Handel's oratorio, December 16, says William Haynes, choir director. Other soloists for the performance are students Bobbie Brown, soprano; Phyllis Smoak, alto; and Dalbert Snow, tenor. Accompanying the presentation by the choir will be the thirty instrument Union College Orchestra with senior music major Jere Brinegar acting as concert master, according to Melvin Johnson, con- ductor. To be presented for the first time In four years will be a bass and trumpet duet by soloist Funk and Bill Baker, trumpet soloist for the orchestra. "Bobbie Brown and the choir will be singing some new parts this year, too," says Haynes. "Bobbie will sing 'How Beautiful Are the Feet' and the choir, 'Lift up Your Heads oh Ye Gates!' " An English subject by adoption, German by birth, Handel first conducted his now famous oratorio in Dublin, Ireland. The entire per- formance took two and a half hours. Come Without Swords and Hoops Because it was so well accepted in Ireland the producer of the first London performance, anticipating a capacity attendance, requested that the gentlemen come without swords and the ladies without hoops. Probably the best known of all oratorios, Handel's "Messiah" is a Christ-centered work quoting eighty verses of scripture, most of them from the book of Isaiah. Although it was composed In only 24 days the entire musical score was not composed in that short time. Handel borrowed extensively from former compositions. It was com- pleted in the summer of 1741.

ASB president, Gary Grimes, wel- comed the 396 visitors to Italy witl his wishes for an enjoyable visit. An early morning fishing tri; began the day. The Boys' Quartet Ron Jensen, Buddy Borris, Norma: Gay, and Tad Achord furnished th musical entertainment. Next in the day's schedule was a musicale where Janene Odom and Robert Tan were the stars. They also participated in the "Twelfth Night" celebration, an annual children's festival, where Kent Selt- man was the predominate charac- ter. Their visit wasn't complete with- out a gondola ride with Linda Lair and Wayne Anderson setting the mood with a vocal duet plus Sammy Roberts with his accordian. To conclude their stay in Italy, they visited one of Italy's famous concert halls where Carolyn Rhodes, Roger Anderson, Jerry Lange, Jim Wilmot, Bruce Mazat, Danny Saun- ders, Roland Marinkovic, Dick Pol- lard, and Larry Keller gave the musical program. Supper was eaten in Italian side- walk cafes. The candlelit tables were decorated with flower filled Italian carts. The day's special was ravioli, insalata, pane casalingo, gellati, and grappalo bevanda. Soft Italian music accompanied the evening meal. Making possible this visit to Italy were: the Associated Student Body Officers: President Gary Grimes, Vice-president Ed Lamb, Secretary- treasurer Jane Nowack, Assistant Secretary-treasurer Yvonne Peter- son, and sponsor Dr. Lowell Welch; Social Committee: chairman Bern- elda Johnson, Clinton Bond, Evelyn Patty, Donna Wykoff, Bob Styre, Darlene Zemple and sponsor Miss Margaret Pederson; Script Writers: chairman Jane Nowack, Jerry Thayer and Brenda Bradley: Nar- rator: Leslie Werner; Sound Ef- fects: Tom Tucker, Richard Wilson and the Speech Department; and the Decoration Committee with chairman Myrna Howe and her numerous helpers. New Golden Cords Swing to Greater Student Emphasis by Ardis Dick, Editor The art editor, Judy Frederick, is drawing designs for the new cover, but the staff has not decided on one as yet. There are to be many changes in this year's annual, and it is hoped that the layout of the whole book will give a new and fresh look at life on the Union College campus. Among the changes will be a com- pletely different order of presen- tation of departments, a greater emphasis on the student body as a whole and the senior class in particular, although none of the other classes or functions are be- ing left out. The Golden Cords office on sec- ond floor of the administration building is receiving small but definite improvements from time to time. The latest addition is that of a new Remington typewriter. The most urgent need at this time seems to be more room for an office. The present one is crowded and hard to work in.

Parakeet Given VIP Treatment by Pat Phillips Although inflation is making dangerous inroads into our econ- omy, a bright blue parakeet has proved that the old "two bits" still buys something. While most birds were flying south for the winter, Pretty Boy, the Mervyn Maxwell's new pet, was touring the country via jet. While visiting in California re- cently, Mrs. Maxwell discovered the parakeet perched on a low branch in a yard. Inquiries revealed that the bird was lost, so she car- ried him home with her. Adjusting well to his new surroundings, the rather vain little creature intro- duced himself as "Pretty Boy." His friendship with two-year-old Stanley assured Pretty Boy a place in the Maxwell household. Getting him to Lincoln would create a prob- lem, Mrs. Maxwell feared, but air- line officials required only a twen- ty-five cent charge. The rest of the baggage was put off at Lincoln, the forgotten Pretty Boy stayed on, traveled to Chicago, back to Lincoln, and finally ar- rived at the Maxwell house in a black Cadillac limousine. Now Pretty Boy perches with new poise, confident that he has entered the status of the well-traveled elite —and all for twenty-five cents! Elder Maxwell is assistant pro- fessor of religion here. Pierce Auto Sales For Money Soring Values Directly Acrots from South Hall GC Brief Presents SDA View to Supreme Court WASHINGTON (ACPA).—The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has just submitted to the Supreme Court a Brief of Amicus Curiae (as a friend of the court) on the appeal from the United States District Court of Massachusetts of the Crown Kosher Super Market case. The case is one of several dealing with Sunday legislation slated to come before the Supreme .Court of the United States the first part of December. In filing the brief the General Conference states, "As the largest Christian denomination in the na- tion observant of the Saturday Sab- bath, the denomination and its members have long suffered under the adverse effects, direct and indi- rect, religious, social, and economic, of Sunday closing laws in most of the states." The brief points out that Advent- ist members are "counseled to obey the laws of the state and nation even though economic hardship may result." In preparing the brief, which may play a vital part in the future of S e v e n t h-day Adventists in the United States, the General Confer- ence felt that its purpose should be twofold (1) To set forth the incon- sistencies and failures of Sunday legislation; and (2) to present to the highest justices of this land the Sabbath truth. Long ago the church was told that opportunities such as this would come. It is felt that the moment is here. Unnoticed Wealth In CV Adapted by C.

Judie Fenner Park Keller Refresh Yourself at the CHAT 33 YEARS A DRY-CLEANER SOUTH SIDE Two Doors West of Post Office CLEANERS Spike Lyon They've Got Their Students' Numbers (ACP)—From the UCLA Daily Bruin comes the report of a "preju- dice-proof" grading system for UCLA's Law School. The new system resulted from a fist fight between a student and a professor who allegedly failed him because of "political disagree- ments," and destroyed his examina- tion paper to prevent recourse. In the new grading system, num- bers are assigned to final exam papers and professors have no ac cess to student's names. Grading is by number only. Not until grades are entered and distributed can a professor find out a student's num- ber. "This gives a student complete freedom to say what he wants in class, and it discourages the kind of student that curries favor," says the Daily Bruin.

Annapolis means, of course, the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, capital of Maryland, the naval equivalent of the Army's West Point. Its four- year course of college study, with accent on things naval, leads to a a Bachelor of Science degree. Most girls arrive by public con- veyances, because only first class- men ride in cars, except during June Week when the entire "bri- gade" may ride and first classmen may even drive their own cars. Your date will probably be a third, second, or first year man, for fourth year men, or plebes, are permitted to "drag" only once during the year previous to the Farewell Ball in June Week. Even at a private house where there may be no one else to do it your escort may not carry your bag to your room. He must leave it in the hall or parlor, and you, if nec- essary, must carry it the rest of the way. And even if you are engaged, don't try to hold hands with him in public. Don't take his arm on limits, or expect him to walk arm- in-arm or with his arm around your waist—"lollygaging" is the Navy term for such relaxed behavior. Your midshipman may not chew gum in public, and you should not either while you are with him. The Navy man has conservatism drilled into him in all things touch- ing on social and naval behavior. If you do anything to make a big splash, by wearing too sophisticated clothes or too conspicuous and ex- pensive jewelry, by drinking, or by any attention-drawing behavior, you embarrass him, to say the least. He will wonder why he ever risked inviting you. —Amy Vanderbllt Complete Book of Etiquette p. 607, 608 (bold face ours) att'fc r.

The University of Nebraska provides some mighty fine exhibi- tions of Big Eight basketball. If you're a Nebraska fan though, I think you've picked a "dry" year. If Monday night's, Varsity-Fresh- men game was an example of Ne- braska's potential this year, I'm afraid there's a long season of hard knocks ahead. The Varsity did man- age to hold about a 20 point lead all the way, but, had the Freshmen been a little warmer and hit a slightly better shot percentage, Coach Bush might have experi- enced a humiliating defeat. However, should Nebraska pull themselves together into a team, and take advantage of the height they can put on the floor, they might pull one or two games out of the conference bag. Thursday night's game with Iowa Teachers will be a better preview, but I'm going to play it safe and remain a pessimist. Intramural teams on the Union College campus will be organized soon with the season's opening game slated immediately following Christmas vacation.

New Cafeteria Wi Open Next Semester Recent board action gave the final approval for completion of the new cafeteria which should be in use by the latter half of second semester. When completed, the cafeteria will contain the newest and most modern stainless steel equipment available. One of the most modern and up to date features of the caf- eteria will be the new serving deck, located in a room by itself and approached on either side by hall- ways for each line. This will change the now existing situation with the girls lined up along the dining room wall, and the boys lined up on the south stairway. Behind the serving deck will be a special "serve through" wall con- necting the serving deck with the kitchen proper. This wall will con- tain special compartments to hold the food prepared in the kitchen. Three of these double door compart- ments will be installed on each side of the serving deck, two for cold foods, and one for hot foods. One door opens on the kitchen side where the prepared food is slid into the compartment, and another opens on the deck side where the food can be removed as it is needed. This sytem will shorten the now existing long lines, as it will speed up the serving of the large quan- tities of food used. In an average day the potato salad calls for 250 eggs (this is for only one meal), and cooked pota- toes must be prepared in 200 lb. quantities. The average daily use of milk is over 50 gallons, not to men- tion the consumption of 200 lbs. of bananas, 6 boxes of apples and three or more boxes of oranges in a single week end. On special oc- casions when banana bread is made it is not unusual to use 70 loaves in one meal. In addition to the improved ser- vice provided, the cafeteria will provide work opportunities for about 70 students. This is second only to the furniture factory in student employment.

This sign bench, which was originally planned as a part of Rees Hall, is now being constructed by the South Hall cafeteria contruction crew. The labor cost is paid by the col- lege and the cost of the bench ma- terials by the class of '60. The seat of the bench is of white imported limestone from Bedford, Indiana, and the back of ceramic tile. On the back, which is facing 48th street, will be PEARL L.

Cold weather has recently hin- dered further developments but as soon as it gets a little warmer work will resume. Chris Christensen, director of its construction, reports that a pebble- finish walk will surround the bench when it is completed. This will be the second stationary bench on the campus and will com- plement the moveable wooden benches.

Originating somewhat shortly after .Man's ar- rival upon the scene, its perfection has been a product of practice and persistence. Manifesting itself in a thousand different ways, this art is seen in campus gossipers, unfaithful office workers, hasty conclusion drawers, careless dinner line patrons, loud C-Level John X, a Union College student wonders why he got all C's this last nine weeks. In most of his classes he was right on the line. In fact he even made B's on his nine week tests. His teacher could have logically given him B's. I wonder if the fact that John turns much of his work in a day late and often in barely legible pen- cil scribbling has anything to do with those grades. Maybe the fact that John never contributes to the class discussion, but gazes listlessly out the window could have influ- enced the teachers to draw the B line right above his name. Maybe these things didn't have any effect on his grades, but still I wonder. conversationalists, etc. Successful dentropedologists are most often kin to roses; they begin with bursting growing energy, blos- som into a blushing red, and then quietly fade away (when possible). Dentropedology, according to Prince Phillip of England: "The art of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it." Of course some people are better equipped for practice than others— they have larger mouths and small er feet. Have you noticed? Monkey Business? At a time when most of the ed- ucated world pays homage to the theory of evolution, it is an in- spiration to have a man like Dr. Marsh on our campus. Here is a man who is every inch a scientist, who has studied especially the origins of life and who says still, "In the beginning God . . . !" Dr. Marsh's visit here should have done much to strengthen our own convictions. The theory of evolu- tion creeps in to almost every field of study. To meet these false con- cepts we must have more of the kind of information Dr. Marsh was so able to give. Americanization or Natural Recources (ACP)—Washington State University's DAILY EVERGREEN took itself and its readers to task for ignoring what the editors call "a natural resource on our campus—foreign students." They come as strangers, says the paper, and seem destined to leave still strangers. "Why are foreign students accepted casually and, as one Danish student termed it 'Americanized?' " asked DAILY EVERGREEN. The Danish girl said, "American students are ready to accept exchange students, but on their own 'terms,'" Commented DAILY EVERGREEN: "American students are so anx- ious to tell all about and promote the good old U.S.A. that they forget to ask the foreigner about his country or his views .... Foreign students are willing to get to know Americans. How about a mutual attempt?" Many college papers, however, are making use of the talents and experience of exchange students. This includes American who have been abroad. Mvcntitiously yours By Jerry Aso Today is November 24. Thanksgiving Day across this wonderful nation; and today, for the first time, I'm not at home to enjoy the fes- tivities of this day of thanks. It's a strange feeling that comes over me as I sit in this room de- signed for comfort and beauty, and feel its walls become suddenly cold and dreary, closing in and stifling the feelings that are so used to flowing at this time. These trinkets that lie about my room suddenly show themselves as they really are, and I find no enjoyment in them, for this is Thanksgiving Day, and I should be home. "You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a womans club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town." (O.Henry "The Fourth in Salvador") Yes, I should be home, but in place of being there my memory will live and relive those happy moments, that seem to have been so long ago. Now more happy since it is denied me. I can see the whole family waiting for me to come home from school, those first few moments of reunion with those to whom I owe my life, past, present, and future, everything I have and am; though I hardly think of these things except here in my lonely, silent room, made more lonely and more silent by the harsh cold stacatto of my typewriter. I think of the talks later on in the evening, telling mom all about school, both good and bad, the successes and the failures, the joys and the heartaches; and though I know she's tired from a hard day's work, yet somehow her eyes seem to glow with pride, and intead of saying she's tired; she encourages me to go on, for this is her son, her very own. Dad Is more reserved, but after going to bed, you can hear them talking, and it isn't hard to guess what they're talking about. Next morning mom tells you. We're all glad I'm home. Thanksgiving Day and the house is filled with the sounds and smells of Thanksgiving, and even more than you had expected, this is a day of thanks. As my mind wanders back over the years to memories that are not for sale or rent, but only to be shared, I wonder that I had never realized how correct the poet was when he said "Home is where the heart is." For I am no longer lonely, I can see my wonderful parents as they pre- pare for this day of days, my brother and sisters, sometimes helping, but mostly sampling the fruits of mother's wonderful cooking. Dad, who is a real cook in his own right, seasons the food just to perfection, then anxiously waits for our smiles of overwhelming approval. I think Edgar A. Guest caught this idea in his poem "Home." It takes a heap o' livin' in a house t' make it home, A heap o' sun and shadder, an' ye sometimes have t' roam Afor ye really 'preciate the things ye lef' behind, An hunger fer 'em somehow, with 'em alius on ycr mind. The Golden Cords for 1961 is again silently taking shape. The year- book of Union College, it is one of those things which we as students pur- chase without even knowing it, enjoy the criticise, and take for granted, but all year it keeps growing into a finished product. /*• im Former Unionite Landlubber Sails High Seas To Germany Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a third of the way around the world from home? No Mom or Dad to boss you around. No brothers or sisters to nag. I'll tell you how it feels. LONESOME! If you don't believe me, try it some- time. And be sure you come by ship. That in itself can be an un- forgetable experience. I will not soon forget my first day out of New York City on the SS America. A sign had been placed on the door saying that it would be impossible to go out on the front deck for the time being. Why? Ac- cording to the seamen we had hap- pened upon a slightly rough sea during the night. Later ... I discov- ered was a slightly rough sea was like. It appeared to me that we were going through the ocean in- stead of on top of it. The waves were washing over the whole front deck. I couldn't help thinking that if this were a slightly rough sea. . . . As the boat would reach the crest of a huge wave the prow would nose down into the trough just behind and in doing so would momentarily leave everything towards the front of the ship completely free of grav- ity. You can imagine the effect that such action would have on the di- gestive tract! Mine was no excep- tion! When I reached the dining room I just kept right on going- straight to my bunk. Our first stop in the old world was at Cobh, Ireland. Since we were to arrive at sunrise, many of the pass- engers stayed up all night to be sure they wouldn't miss the great event. We actually couldn't have ar- rived at a better time. Off to our right as we rounded the cape we could catch glimpses of an old me- dieval castle looming through the mist—standing as a silent sentinel guarding this harbor for centuries. Two day later the SS America sailed into Bremerhaven, Germany. Much in contrast to our entry into Cobh, it was a typical cold, rainy German day. I was, however, much sin-prised at the ultra-modern term- inal building at which we docked. It was much nicer than any I had seen thus far. It's surprising the extent Germany has progressed since the war. My only concern has been that perhaps they have ad- vanced too fast for their own good. Especially is this true of the auto- mobile business! However, since this letter is get- ting quite lengthy, I'd better leave such subjects for a later date. Sincerely yours, Monty Burns (Editor's note: Monty Burns was at Union last year and is now in Germany canvassing among the servicemen stationed there. He would have been a senior minister- ial student this year had he re- turned. His address is: Monty Burns, Frankfurt/Main, Germany Am Kirchenberg 6, (Eschersheim). Campus Clatter Clarified by Clus well- tooth most Returning from vacation supplied with razor blades, paste and graham-crackers Union College student appear well- able to survive this lull between vacations. At all times of the year, parking seems to be a problem from which our campus is not exempt. Thelma Anders Simpon receiving a parking ticket, went dutifully to the ac- counting office to pay her fine. Upon returning to her car she dis- covered that the campus cop had again passed her way—unfortun- ately ! Another pressure which we must face is that of tests. Doubtless the pressure of tests lies more heavily on the seniors than any other per- sons. Evelyn Moore burst into her room quite exuberent over the re- sult of one test. Naturally her room- mate, Marlene Morfey, wished to show her appreciation and exclaim- ed excitedly, "I always knew that I rained with a broom!" With two December days gone our thoughts may be turning to the holiday season. Instead of just dreaming about a Christmas "like the ones they used to know" six girls in Rees Hall have solved in a most effective way the problem of Christmas shopping. Breaking their custom of exchanging gifts they plan instead to use their money usually spent in this way to make Christmas for a family who might otherwise go without. What are you doing with the 19 shopping Days 'til Christmas? In reflection ... As was brought out in the November 21 .chapel pro- gram, "True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence." Ed. p. 242. Is it possible that as Union College students we have failed to realize that the church contains God's presence as certainly in Monday chapel as in the Sabbath services? The com- motion resulting from the vast amount of visiting going on, at times seems to bother even the group of students who find chapel an excellent time to do the study- ing which their schedule had not previously permitted. I seriously doubt that any of us would even contemplate bringing a chemistry book to church on Sabbath. Should the church be considered less sacred during the week? GUnr Editor-in-Chief _ Associate Editor Assistant Editor Assistant Editor . Make-up Editor . Sports Editor Colorado Campus Editor . Columnists Cartoonist Leditors . . . Dear Editor, I would like to thank you for the promptness with which the recent issue of the Clock Tower was sent sent to me. It was really good to be in touch with ye olde Alma Mater again. I notice that the pulp material won out this year over the "glossie." You're doing a good job, too. Yours very sincerely, F. Clyfford Hazell (former C.T. assistant editor) Dear Editor, Just one more view of peanut hill. Perhaps the emblem has gotten out of hand and we're heading in the right direction with our extermi- nating weapons of derision. But in one department let's halt our march. For our students direc- tory Peanut Hill Populace is a clever, light-hearted name. Though F. E. Edwardly failed to discover the origin of the term (Leditors, last issue), it's quite carefully ex- plained by Dr. Everett Dick in the same publication. While our every jacket or note- book (or action) should not lable us "peanut-hill," to me this same lable on our directory is sort of a pleasant thing. Penny Shell Dear Editor, The Adventist youth of today are in a most discontent, provoked, and frustrated state. We wonder if our leadership is ever going to realize that we lack vision. It is high time that we as Adventists stop patting ourselves on the back and realize that we are behind in almost every field of endeavor. How can we ex- pect to finish God's work on this earth when we cling to spiritual, scholastic, cultural, and social med- iocrity as though it were a priceless possession? We must increase our faith, en- large our vision and make some drastic alterations if we hope to obtain victory and escape eternal damnation. A Student Dear Editor: I am enjoying the CLOCK TOWER very much this year and feel that you are putting forth a real effort to include the really significant news in our school pap- er. More power to you and your staff as you upgrade our beloved publication. Permit me however to point out two errors in the editorial S=D+ W+MW. The photosynthetic equa- tion was called a "formula." This word is usually reserved for a set of symbols which indicate the quantity and quality of atoms mak- ing up a molecule. Secondly the formula (used rightly in this in- stance) for carbohydrate was given as CH*J. The simplest expression for a carbohydrate is CffO since a car- bohydrate is an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the latter two elements oc- curring in the same proportion as in water. Allow me to indulge in a good-natured dig: if the author of this editorial had learned the pho- tosynthetic equation in a biology class instead of a chemistry cla'ss he would most likely have gotten it correct.
