VOL. XXXIII  UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 4, 1959  NO. 6  
Crandall Conducts  
Session, Tells  
Of Need for Writers  
"Most Seventh-day Adventist col- 
leges are  sadly negligent in the  
training of the youth to write!"  
Thus stated the one in charge,  
Elder Crandall, at the Writers' 
Conference sponsored by the 
YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR Nov. 20-23  
here at Union College. The Confer- 
ence was in session Friday, Satur-
day night, and Sunday until noon.  
Thirty-five attended a cafeteria  
dinner at the termination of the  
meeting.  
A short devotional by Pastor  
Murray Deming in the Rees Hall 
recreational room opened the meet-
ing. Afterward Miss Virginia Shull, 
the Union College hostess, intro-
duced and turned the program  
over to Elder Crandall, the present  
editor of the INSTRUCTOR.  
The subjects: short-short story,  
public relations and the writer,  
script writing, and the narrative 
were presented respectively by  
guest speakers  Mrs. L. W. Welch,  
Mrs. Everett Dick, Elder W. A.  
Howe, Mr. Arthur Hauck, and Mrs.  
J. C. Turner.  
Later a student panel discussed  
the purpose  and effectiveness of  
campus publications. Editor Cran-
dall, impressed by the assertions,  
declared that "Union College is 
unique among S.D.A. schools in 
holding a concept of the present  
day movement."  
Elder Crandall, stating that  
"writing encompasses all and 
undergirths all aspects of this  
denominational movement," intro-
duced a panel of five secondary  
English teachers who revealed what  
should be done and is being done  
to strengthen this field.  
In revealing his main burden,  
"the appalling lack of good manu-
scripts being submitted to church 
publications," Elder Crandall read 
the letters of 12 denominational 
magazine editors. They said the  
fact that the pre-edited material 
was not improving was alarming.  

SIK To Entertain at Banquet Monday  
Student Performers  
Play in London  
Town Setting  
The lights were lowered and the  
audience hushed to a silence, as  
the curtain drawn back unfolded 
the setting of the seventeenth an- 
nual Amateur Hour.  
The theme, "Foggy London  
Town," was portrayed in a back- 
drop of a typical London street  
surrounded by actual old-fashioned 
light posts. The script read by 
Roy Lawrence was written by Beth 
Wells.  
Sectional winners of the $10 first  
prizes as announced by Bob Bock- 
mann, Amateur Hour co-ordinator, 
were: Jane Nowack for her  reading,  
"Mom, Can't I"; Wayne Judd for 
his vocal solo, "Die Beiden Grena-
dier;" Garland Millet for his dra-
matc reading, "Daniel 3;" Ruth  
Ann Ha'gen and Loren Wade for  
their piano duet, "Russian Sleigh-
ride;" Sammy Roberts for his ac- 
cordian solo, "Spanish Guitars;"  
Mike Korgan, for his vocal solo,  
"Blue Star;" and Penny Shell and  
Lora Wood for their novelty por- 
trayal of "Buggy goes Jet."

the students and village folk in  
the preceding week-long drive for 
food.  
The drive was climaxed by a  
meeting in the College View church  
Friday, Nov. 12, where six persons 
reflected the thoughts of the audi-

MVrs to Inaugurate 
Operation Friendship  
To put a purpose into the aim  
of the Missionary Volunteer So- 
ciety this year the executive com- 
mittee has decided to foster a new 
type of evangelism with the youth  
of this  area. In short, friendship  
is to be the mode of evangelism.  
This new endeavor is not a com- 
plicated series of Bible studies  
which requires a religion major to 
give, nor is it an operation which 
requires only those entering some  
phase of denominational work.  
Operation Friendship is a project  
in which Christians are friends to 
those who have lost their faith  
either by disheartenment, inter- 
marriage with non-believers, or by 
losing social contact with Seventh- 
day Adventist youth.  
For a launching date of this  
operation, the College View church 
board has inaugurated the week of  
Dec. 5-12 as Hospitality Week.  
Through the aid of Elders Deming,  
Allen, De Booy, Williamson, and Mr. 
Gemmel, the plans have been out- 
lined whereby Missionary Volun- 
teers work in pairs. Their primary 
purpose is to display Union College  
as having a welcome mat at every  
entrance, whether it be to a build- 
ing or to a heart. 
'A Man Called Peter' 
Showing to Benefit  
Home and School  
The Home and School Association  
for the Elementary School will  
hold a benefit program in the 
College auditorium on Saturday 
night, December 5.  
The feature film, "A Man Called  
Peter," will be shown. The film  
depicts the life story of an out- 
standing minister of our day and 
his service to the United States 
Senate.  
Boxed candy will be sold by the  
Home and School before and after 
the film is shown.  
Proceeds from the program will  
be used to buy new equipment for  
the Helen Hyatt School.  

'AROUND  THE WORLD'  
TO BE BANQUET THEME  
"Around the World" is the theme  
of the Sigma Iota Kappa Banquet  
to take place in the college cafe- 
teria Dec. 7 at 7 p.m.  
Members of Kappa Theta and  
Sigma Iota Kappa and their dates,  
as guests, will find this theme  
throughout the semi-formal oc- 
casion. Not only does the menu in- 
clude foreign foods, but the enter- 
tainment is music and acts from  
various countries. The program, 
which will be presented in the gym,  
also includes films featuring travel.  
Jerry Schnell, as committee co- 
ordinator, has been working with 
Evan Swanson, chairman of the  
food and ticket committee; Nor- 
man Graham, chairman of the pro-
gram committee; and George  
Fischer, chairman of the decora- 
tion committee.  
Those working with Mr. Swanson  
are Bill Hanson, Don Allen, and 
Fred Saunders; those working with 
Mr. Graham are Don Nicolay, 
Terry Campbell, Don Bunch and 
Buddy Borris; those working with  
Mr. Fischer are Don Berglin, Jerry  
Gilbert, Jerry Thayer and Richard  
Carlson.

time help established writers in  
preparing materials designed by  
the editors."  
Faculty members may also submit  
manuscripts in the Free Lance  
Division, which is open to all 
Seventh-day Adventists not cur- 
rently enrolled in a course in writ-
ing.  
Top awards are  the same as last  
year's—one first award of $100 and  
two second awards of $75 each—  
with the addition of three third  
awards of $50 each. Manuscripts 
that do not receive awards but 
are considered acceptable for pub-
lication will be purchased by the 
Instructor at its regular 1960 pay- 
ment rates.  
Major requirements in  the Free  
Lance Division are that the manu- 
scripts must be a single, unified  
narrative, that it contain a min- 
imum of 3500 words, and that it  
be submitted under a postmark not  
later than August 11, 1960. Bro-
chures giving complete information 
on the details of the program are

Ou the balanced jClfe  
"To everything  there is  a season, and a time  to every purpose  under heaven: A time  to be born, and a time  to die;  a time  to plant,  and a time  to pluck  up that which  is  planted;  A time  to kill,  and  a time  to heal;  a time  to break down, and a time  to build  up;"  (Ecclesiastes  3:1-3) . . . and so the preacher goes on and on, ex- panding  his  thesis  on the proper time  and relation  to every purpose  under the sun. Isn't  it  wonderful  how God  has provided  a balance  to  all things!  If the Preacher were to be on the Union  College  campus, he  would undoubtedly  continue  to philosophize  by saying  there is  a time  ;o study, and a time  to relax;  a time  to work and a time  to play;  a  time to eat, and a time  to refrain  from eating;  a time  to worship  and  a time  to socialize;  a time  to get, and a time  to give;  a time  to relax,  and a time  to work. Seventh-day Adventists  boast of a balanced  con- cept of living.  In fact, this  concept is  germane to the fundamental  philosophy  of Christian  education.  
Variety,  we are told,  is  the spice  of life.  Having  lived  in  areas of  uniform  climate,  I know the monotony of changeless  seasons. It is  good to have winter  and summer; it  is  good to study and to play;  it  is good to have a time  with  God  in  worship,  and a time  with  friends  to socialize.  Happy  is  the Union  College  man or woman who can look  at life  in  its  total  and effect a proper balance.  Suppose we were to  use the modern and beautiful  Rees Hall  lobby  for skating;  suppose  we were to use the old  vacated dairy  barn for a music  recital;  suppose  we were to use our beautiful  church edifice  for a student center. How  ridiculous  even to think  of these unreal  situations.  No, there is  a  time  and place  for all  things  under .heaven. There may appear to  be inconsistencies  in  the administration  of affairs  on the campus as  viewed by various  individuals  or groups, but if  the principles  as set forth  by the Preacher has any validity,  then apparent inconsistencies  often  disappear.  
Let us thank God  for a proper sense of balance  and appropriate- ness in  the affairs  of life.  D. J. Bieber,  President  
On Sacred Music  
In recent years there has been an unfortunate trend in religious  
music. Prominent in this current fad are the songs of the radio cowboys. 
These "hymns" have incorporated religious lyrics and set them to a 
swinging, popular-style tune. Very few of these actual songs have pene-
trated the standards set for our church music. The danger seems to lie  
in the temptation of some singers to sing sacred gospel songs in the 
style of the popular music of today.  
Not only is it displeasing to God to hear this display of poor musical  
taste in church services, but visitors to our church would surely find 
such an irreverent form of music distasteful.  
Very few departures from a high standard have been made in our  
own local church; in fact, our music faculty has set an excellent ex- 
ample for us to follow. But the very occasional slip-ups on this point  
seem to warrant a suggestion that we follow in this part of our worship  
the example of Him who is "altogether lovely."  
On School Royalty  
The recent Writers'  Conference brought the opportunity  for your  editors  to review  the objectives  for publishing  this  school  paper1. The  question  of allowing  critical  student opinion  to be published  was  raised and discussed.  One  student summed up the opinion  of many  when she said,  "Union  is  our school,  and we're  proud of it."  This  is  the opinion  of your staff, also.  Yet within  these pages we want to give  the thinking,  consecrated  student of this  college  the opportunity  to make those constructive  comments that he thinks  would  make Union  a school  that we could  continue  to be proud of. In this  issue  we are publishing  one of the  first  letters  to the editor.  Many have asked why no more of these  have been printed.  The reason is  quite  simple;  no more have been  received.  We would  like  to urge that "if  you have any comments about  campus life  or improvement  of the CLOCK  TOWER,  you write  them out and submit  them to the editorial  staff. Letters should  be  signed,  though upon request the author's  name will  be omitted.

J^editor  
Dear Editor:  
Union is terrible! What is there  
to have school spirit about? Per-
haps this is what some of the 
students are  saying.  
The students of Union should be  
proud of their school because of 
the excellent record in spiritual,  
scholastic and cultural standing  
compared with other colleges.  
After all how would you feel if  
Union had just passing standards 
to be an accredited college? What  
self-pride could you have?  
A feeling of co-operation between  
the students and faculty promotes 
enthusiasm, a vital part of school  
spirit. When an individual forgets  
himself and unites his interest 
with that of the school, adding his  
loyalty and enthusiasm in its sup-
port, he has school spirit.

New Book Shelf  
Have you been asked to tell a  
story for Sabbath school or Story 
Hour, and have you felt that you 
just couldn't hold the interest of 
your listeners? Here is just the 
book, entitled Storytelling by Ruth 
Tooze, to help you develop your 
story telling talent by offering con-
crete suggestions.  
What makes a good color picture  
—not the camera, not the color  
film, but you. Fred Bond, the au-
thor of Making Better Color Slides, 
gives simple rules that can be  
adapted to pictures that you want 
to shoot, and that you'll enjoy  
showing your friends.  
There is an Unseen Intelligence  
shaping events in the life of one  
Lyn Lindsay, whose philosophy is 
expressed as "Religion is all right 
for those who think they need it,  
but it's not for me." This story is  
one of far-ranging scope, of con-
trast, and suspense and interest— 
of how a Soldier of Fortune became 
a soldier of the cross.  
Millions of times more powerful  
than fire is atomic energy. In  
Total Atomic Defense the author  
emphasizes that we can have in  
America a defense that will spare  
our homes, industries, and resources 
from the weapons of atomic war- 
fare by keeping cities from being 
attacked rather than by trying  
to put out fires and bind up  
wounds after an attack.  
If you want fascinating and in- 
spiring reading of women who have  
by means of a small beginning 
made a positive contribution to 
their field of interest, then you'll 
like Modern American Career Wo-
men by Eleanor Clymer. And you'll 
be wanting to accomplish more  
yourself.

Parts and Departs  
What is Union and the Clock  Tower coming to? Someone actually 
had the nerve to ask a student  
opinion question, and the Clock 
Tower had the courage to print it.  
(See College View — last issue  Clock Tower). Moreover, the four  
students, when the question was 
asked concerning couples sitting  
together in church, actually gave 
a frank answer.  
As for me, I, with trembling  
hands, am inclined to agree with  
all that was said by the four  
students, and, of course, the com-
ment by the one staff member.  
But, may I also hasten to add, I 
do not advocate such a change.  
We cannot disagree with the  
fact that a large percentage of the 
rules at Union College are made  
because of a minority group, as it  
is with any society. If it were not  
for this minority group, our college 
would be a better place in which 
to live.  
To return to our question, it is  
this small group who would not be 
able to concentrate on the sermon; 
it is they who would not, under  
such a plan as suggested, add to  
the reverence of the service; it is  
they who do bring inconsistencies 
into our church.  
Let's face it,  these people  are  here, and because of them the ma- jority  suffer certain  disadvantages  and repressions,  which  for them  are not necessarily  needed.  
Concerning the question some  
say, "But students would be more 
reverent if they were sitting with 
a special friend." Then others  
reply, "If a person cannot main-
tain an attitude of reverence while  
sitting with his or her friend, how 
can that person be expected to do 
so when sitting with one of the 
opposite sex. And may I bring the 
young ladies into this as they com-
prise a part of this group.  
Because, as one of the staff  
wrote, ". . . there isn't really any 
thing basically wrong in couples  
sitting together," perhaps we  
should take a different viewpoint  
than to disregard completely this  
subject or to reject it as insigni-
cant. Let us examine the problem.  
I believe the important principle  
this exposes should not and must  
not be ignored. The question itself  
is not basic, but the principle it  
uncovers is a fundamental prob- 
lem demanding recognition.  
Should the governing body of a  
super highway set the speed limit 
at 45 m.p.h. because of those who 
cannot drive correctly at 65 m.p.h.; 
or, should those incapable drivers 
be taught, by some means, to drive  
correctly at the speed of 65 m.p.h.?  
Thus we have the basic problem.  
Most of those comprising Union  
College recognize it. The next ques- 
tion is what is there to be done 
about it?  

a dark brown suit, beige vest, and  
cordovan shoes. Gray tinged his  
hair. His forehead reflected the  
light from the window. On the  
mahogany desk lay notes, memos, 
copies, letters to acknowledge, a 
lamp, and three books. A small, 
army-green, three-drawer file chest 
was to his left. One had to ascend 
24 steps and go through four doors  
to reach this office. On one of the  
doors was written "... Russell R.  
Strom Jr., Attorney at Law."  
Mr. Strom, who is the teacher of  
the newswriting class, confesses he 
had no idea he would ever teach.  
He had 'graduated from the Uni- 
versity of Nebraska Law School in  
1952 with the intention of being a  
lawyer, not a teacher. However,  
due to the shortage in the English 
department this year he agreed to  
teach. And, as perhaps a lawyer 
would, he enjoys the disagreements, 
arguments, and dissenting pro- 
positions of the classroom.  
Former CLOCK TOWER Editor  
Because his father, a newspaper- 
man, moved frequently, Mr. Strom 
stated that he has lived in such 
cities as Chicago, Cleveland, Sac-
ramento, Reno and Minneapolis.  
He was born at Montrose, Min- 
nesota, in 1920, the second of seven  
children, four of whom have  
attended Union College. Mr. Strom  
was graduated from Union in 1949  
with majors in religion and history. 
He was editor-in-chief of the  
Clock Tower in 1948-'49.  
"I wanted to be a  lawyer," he  
reflected, "because I was interested  
in the problems concerning people 
and their relationship to one 
another . . . government and soci-
ology.  
"I enjoy helping individuals  
find solutions to their problems. I 
like courtroom procedure. But," 
he sighed, "only about 10 per cent  
of my work is in the courtroom."  
Allen Memorial Winner  
Mr. Strom is one of the first two  
Seventh-day Adventists to graduate 
from the University of Nebraska  
Law School. He was also co-winner  
of the Allen Memorial Competition  
in his senior class.  
Lawyer Strom was married in  
1955 to Miss Ann Tolliver, who had  
just completed her lab technician's 
course at the White Memorial San-
itarium. She had previously grad-
uated from Union College. They 
now have three children: Toni Lee, 
Rex, and Sheree Ann.  
When asked if he had a pet  
peeve, Mr. Strom replied, "Yes I  
do. I dislike any limitation upon a  
person's individual liberties, espec-
ially the suppressing of another's 
viewpoint. People should be able 
to speak out. Why not? Truth will 
win out."  
In reply to what his key for  
success is, he smiled. "... a goal,  
. . . persistence, and hard work."  
"God has a place for me," he said  
after recalling many of the danger- 
ous circumstances he had passed  
through during World War II and 
peacetime. God has been with me."


DECEMBER 4, 1959  CLOCK TOWER  
K appa  Z)heta  
By Stella  Ramirez  
Alas, our few days at home went altogether too fast; and we  
now find ourselves back at school at the old grind, but with a pleasant 
memory of good food and sleepfilled (?) nights. Sometimes I think 
that our Mothers wonder at the vast quantities of food and sleep that 
we seem to consume during our brief visits at home.  I hope that Judie  Fenner's  parents gave her an extra treat for  
her hard and magnificent work on the Amateur Hour. You worked 
like a trojan, Judie,  and Rees Hall is proud of you. And it is no less  
proud of Donnajean Calder  for her work. And if we admit all, some  
of the young men over in South Hall deserve our praise.  
Seems to me as if these club meetings are getting better and better.  
The last one, which was somewhat like a variety show, was a riot! 
Geni and Mary Kube  gave us a practical and hilarious demonstration of  
how to look slim and trim. Perhaps by now someone or someones have 
scraped enough money together to help Joy Montgomery Inc. on the 
mortgage for the cow which they dyed with Rit (or something similar).  
A repeat number which grows on me more each time I hear it is  Bobbie and Audrey's "Sympathy" song. Good job on this and all  
the other programs, Beth and fellow co-workers!  
The most important announcement made during the club meet- 
ing was presented by Arnt Krogstad,  president of Sigma Iota Kappa.  
By now everyone knows about the event which is to take place next  
Monday night. Just hope that the fellows are as good about asking 
for dates as the girls were last year. We won't bite, honest fellows!  
I hear some of the faculty members have the secret service out  
searching for students studying. So many things are taking place  
this first semester that I hear, strictly through the grapevine, that  
"the ole gray matter ain't used like it used to be."  
Hope that our Denver campus students will come out to visit us  
again sometime. The future sick people have very nice attendants to 
look forward to.  
During Thanksgiving vacation, a few of us who remained went  
down to visit the Jewish synagogue. The service was very interesting, 
especially the parts presented in Hebrew. How many of you (parti- 
cularly those reared as Adventists) have every visited a church 
service of another denomination? Not only is it educational but some-
times quite inspiring.  
And now that I've given helpful hints, made some observations,  
and done my reporting, let's get down to some good ole gossip!  
Have you heard:  
About the future plans of the CT editor?  Co-Co and BB's bread baking? 
That some of the Rees Hall girls are reducing?

Refresh Yourself at the CHAT  

By Bill  Swan  
On my way down from a last- 
period German class on fourth 
floor, I recently stopped by the 
chapel and slipped into a back  
row seat. There in the busiest  
time of the day I relaxed in that  
reverent solitude of the chapel. It  
was there that I could commune 
with God who is seldom thought of 
during these busy hours, but Who  
is ever directing us.  
From that time on I realized the  
value of Power Hour. Power Hour is  
fashioned with the busy person in 
mind. It is not long. It is not a 
place where complex theology is 
discussed. Power Hour is simply an  
organized brief period of medita- 
tion, which is concluded with a  
short inspirational talk and prayer. 
For those who have not yet attend-
ed Power Hour I send you this in- 
vitation. Power Hour is the pause  
that refreshes, a spiritual break  
for the busy.  
I would like for all of the readers  
of this column to read the front  
page article on "Operation Friend- 
ship." Here is the easiest way that  
we can practice Christianity. Throw

are. The world needs your friend- 
ship.

Sigma 3ota  Kappa  
By Monte Burns  
Wasn't Thanksgiving vacation wonderful? If only our few days  
could have been prolonged by a week or two of being snowbound. Then  
there wouldn't have been any need to come back at all, for Christmas  
vacation would soon start. Just think—six weeks of leisure! Make up  
vork? Oh, who worries about such! Aren't the powers of imagination  
wonderful? For me they have to be. Imagine getting snowbound in 
Texas!  
Last week as the final frantic preparations were being made on  
the Amateur Hour decorations inside the gym, a very amusing situa- 
tion developed outside. A huge search light had been rented for the 
evening and its beam was sweeping the sky in erratic arcs. Suddenly  
a car drove up and came to a screeching halt. A man jumped out and  
began to holler indignantly, "I'm going to call the sheriff and have  
him put that light out; and if he won't do it, I'll put it out 
myself, even if I have to bust it to pieces!" Finally, after quieting  
him down some, we found out the source of his indignation. It seems 
that the beam cast by the search light was bothering—and you'd never  
guess it—his turkeys. Just imagine all of his turkeys out in the middle 
of the barnyard with necks stretched skyward gazing at the light 
beam going around and around. Poor things. Bet they got so dizzy  
watching that light that they couldn't walk a straight line for the  
next two days. Anyway, the belligerent fowls probably needed a  
little bit of excitement before they ended as someone's Thanksgiving  
dinner.  
No, we didn't have to shut the light down. The turkeys just had  
to suffer through it. X have since decided to go into the "sunglasses  
for turkeys that are bothered by arc lights" business. I'd have at  
least one customer!  
It has been rumored that Roy Lawrence, who abides in the Castle,  
is sometimes hesitant about answering the telephone. In fact, he 
sometimes just plain refuses to answer it. One such occasion took place 
not long ago when Arnt Krogstad was trying to convince Roy that his 
presence was required at the telephone booth. After a few attempts  
Arnt finally got a bright idea. "Say," he said, "if I'm not mistaken,  
it's a lady friend of yours on the line." Roy, finally stirred to action, 
quickly made his way to the telephone, picked up the receiver and 
said softly, "Hello, honey—hello, honey—" pause "Honey, are you there?" 
Whereupon there came forth from the other end of the line, "Well, 
ah, this is Dean Culver speaking."  
Due to the early deadline of this issue of the CLOCK TOWER, the  
"Campus Man of the Month" for November will be featured in the next 
issue. For information on this matter consult your previous CLOCK 
TOWER which explains how the man of the month will be selected.

"Denver T)ata  
The three-week "It Is Written  
crusade held in Denver's Tabor 
Theater closed this week end. Many 
of the students were in nightly at 
tendance, some aiding in the mus- 
ical portion of the program. Not 
only have Elder Vandeman's mes  
sages brought us into closer com-
munication with God, but it has 
been a thrilling experience to see 
former patients as well as fellow  
hospital workers present.  
Various of the senior seminar  
classes are being shared with nurs- 
ing personnel of Porter Hospital.  
These included a lecture by the at- 
torney for the Colorado State 
Nurses' Association concerning mal-
practice in nursing. Miss Mary  
Walker, director of Nursing Service,  
Denver Chapter of the American 
Red Cross, also spoke to both groups 
regarding the head nurse's respon- 
sibility and ward management in  
the hospital during disaster con- 
ditions.  
Senior student, Marlene Eng- 
strom, president of the Colorado 
Student Nurses' Association, Dis- 
trict 2, announced that a student  
committee from our department of  
nursing will be in charge of the 
financial planning for the district  
this coming year.  
The CSNA is a state organization  
which is subdivided into districts.  
Its number includes nursing stu-

will meet certain requirements.  
Representatives are chosen from 
each school to attend the monthly  
meetings. From Union, Evelyn Col- 
son and Dorothy Goodwin are dele-
gates. The main purpose of  CSNA  
is one of improving relationship

Powerful Varsity Wallops  
Alumni In Basketball Game  
College days were recaptured by  
a number of Union College  alumni  
as they played the varsity in a 
game of basketball. The reason for 
the alumni gathering was the Cen-
tral Union Secondary Teachers' In- 
stitute. Playing for the alumni 
were doctors, dentists, lawyers,  
boys' deans, teachers, and con- 
struction workers. Although they  
were outscored 40-27, the alumni  
showed outstanding spirit and en-
thusiasm.  
In the opening moments of the  
game the two teams stayed within  
a few points of each other. The  
alumni had the lead at 14-12, but  
from then on, they just couldn't  
find the hoop, and lack of practice  
made a big difference. Joe Simp-
son, now dean of boys at Sunnydale  
Academy and former high scorer  
for the league while here at Union,  
1,874,027  People Did Not Die  
Fifteen years ago, before the  
wonder drugs were discovered,  
death claimed 10.8 out of every  
1,000 people in the U.S. But  
today, the death rate is down 
to 9.2 per 1,000 people—the  
lowest in history. This means  
that 1,874,027 people DID  
NOT DIE in the past 15 years 
—thanks to the antibiotics, the  
hormones, and the other miracle 
prescriptions which are now  
available. That's why we  say:
