Vol. XLII Union College, Lincoln, Nebr., May 3, 1968 Alumni Weekend [vents To Conclude With Social A variety of programs has been planned for alumni weekend, May 2-4, at Union College, according to Mrs. E. B. Ogden, president of the Alumni Association. The classes of 1918 and 1943 were honored at the homecoming banquet last evening, May 2, in the college cafeteria. The class of 1958 was also recognized and the senior class of 1968 were the guests of the college. Elder O. L. McLean, graduate of the class of 1950, was master of ceremonies for the evening. Elder E. C. Wines, a member of the class of 1943, was the speaker for the College Honors Convoca- tion this morning. Students who were honored have carried a minimum of 12 hours in class- work for the two previous semes- ters and have maintained a B average. Exceptions were made for the freshmen whose averages were taken from the previous se- mester of classes. This year 193 students were recognized. Of these, 54 are freshmen, 36 are sophomores, 54 are juniors and 49 are seniors. Another event planned for the members of the Golden Club, the graduates of over 150 years ago, is a luncheon today at noon in the college cafeteria. The hanging of the golden cords for those missionaries who have answered the call to serv- ice in foreign fields during the past year will take place in the college auditorium at 8:00 this evening. Homecoming Sabbath School School Picnic Not to Be Rained Out This Year Photo by Bud (jooch Beginning Monday an exhibit of student work will be featured in Rees Hall assembly room as "Kaleidoscope" gets underway. Pictured are some of the entries. On the left are African profiles in needlework by Brenda LaFleur; a mosaic still life by Jackie • Krein; and a mosaic tile table top by Kay Werner. On the right are a pair of cathedral glass wall hangings by Vonnie Pierson and an acrylic abstract by Les Steenberg. These and other entries will be judged this week, with prizes given next Friday. Besides the exhibit, a composition recital of original student compositions, a Reader's Theatre, and the publica- tion of The Pendulum are also scheduled. See page four for details. ©Clock Tower The annual Union College all- school picnic will be held next Tuesday, May 7, according to Mr. Don Moon, faculty coordinator of the picnic, and Bob Blehm, chairman of the health and rec- reation committee. The picnic will not be rained out this year, as plans have been made to include a change to Wednesday, May 8, for the out- ing, if weather is not appropriate on Tuesday. Also, if the weather does not permit activities on Wednesday, the event will be postponed to the following week. Besides planned activities for the day, other activities, such as croquet, horseback riding (1.50/ hr.), golf (1.35/9 holes, $2.10/18 holes) and horseshoes, will be available. A treasure hunt and several prize drawings, all of which will provide cash for the winner, will be other events of the day. One must be present to win in any of the prize events, however. Prizes will be awarded for track, field, softbad and other game events. Students are requested to bring their ID cards for charging of food at the picnic. Below is a tentative schedule of events for Tuesday's picnic: 7-8 a.m. Field events—Academy athletic field (pole vault, high jump, long jump) 8-8:30 a.m. Assembly in gym; devotional, announcements, first drawing 8:30-9:00 a.m. Leave for Pi- oneers Park 9-11 a.m. Track and field events and games 11-12 a.m. 1st clue for Treasure Hunt, soccer game 12-1 p.m. Lunch—2nd clue— 2nd drawing 1-1:45 p.m. Balloon throw, egg throw (couples), pole walk 1:45-2:15 p.m. Tug-O-War Freshmen vs. School Freshwomen vs. School 2:30-4:00 p.m. 3rd clue—3rd drawing—final Softball game 4:00 p.m. Leave for school 5:15 p.m. Carry out supper 6:50 p.m. Worship (respective dormitories) 7:30-9:30 p.m. General recre- ation Dr. Hoffman to Direct Union College Inspection No. 20 will be in the auditorium, Sab- bath, May 4, at 9:30 a.m. Elder J. E. Chase, class president of 1943, will be the speaker for both church services. A sacred concert will be presented in the church at 2:30 p.m. "Image of His Face" will be the theme presented by Elder C. R. Lickey, class of 1943, for the Sun- set Vesper Hour in the church at 7:45 p.m. The final weekend event will be an all alumni social in the church annex Saturday evening at 8:30 for members of the alumni and their friends. "The annual homecoming pro- vides opportunity for former stu- dents to renew acquaintances," says Mrs. Ogden. Union College will be inspected by a team of seven members of the Nebraska CouncU on Teacher Education on May 9 and 10. Planning for inspection begins with a dinner Wednesday eve- ning, May 8, at 6:30 in the caf- eteria where a schedule for the inspection will be decided. Plans include checking ad- mission and retention records, records in all departments, in- terviewing students, studying the organization of the administra- tion of teacher education, stu- dent personnel, curriculum and instruction patterns, and review of general education, student teaching, the faculty and library. Chairman of the inspection is Dr. Harry Hoffman from Kear- ney, Nebr. The program is coor- dinated by Roger Hanson of the State Department of Education. After the college has been rated, a report will be written and sent to all members of the Nebraska Council for Teacher Education. At regular intervals the cur- riculum for public instruction is reviewed by the Nebraska Coun- cil of Teacher Education, and new policies and criteria for the approval of teachers and institu- tions in Nebraska are put into effect. "Union College is a mem- ber and accredited with Nebras- ka State Department of Educa- tion," reports Dr. George Stone, chairman of the department of education. ASB Salaries To Increase Salaries for ASB executive of- ficers will be increased for the coming school year. Most of the increases will be in the form of scholarships from the school. The scholarships will be one-half the amount of the officer's salary. The president's salary will in- crease $100 for a total income of $300; his scholarship will be $150. The remaining officers, executive vice-president, associate vice- president and secretary will all receive $100 salaries with $50 scholarships. Under the new business ar- rangements of the ASB, the busi- ness manager will receive a $200 salary and $100 scholarship, while the treasurer will be paid a $300 salary with $150 scholarship. Concert to Feature Krogstad Offiters of Golden Class-The Class of 1918 The annual spring concert of the Union College Concert Winds will be held May 4, at 9:00 p.m. in the College Auditorium. Mr. Norman Krogstad, asso- ciate professor of music at An- drews University, will be the fea- tured baritone horn soloist for the concert. Mr. Krogstad has been teaching at Andrews Uni- versity since 1963 and is currently working on his doctor's degree in music. The Concert Winds will accom- pany Mr. Krogstad in two selec- tions: "A Concerto for Baritone and Band," by Rimsky Korsakov and a lighter number titled 'Napoli." Also featured in the Spring concert will be a trumpet trio consisting of Doug Smith, Weldon Treat and Larry Crawford. A large part of the program is devoted to the lighter works of Leroy Anderson. This section in- cludes such favorites as Bugler's Holiday and Trumpeter's Lullaby. During the evening President Ray Fowler will present the "Band Man of the Year" award. This award is given each year to a band member who has made an outstanding contribution to the band. The individual is se- lected by the members of the band and the conductor. The name of the individual to whom the award is given is inscribed on a plaque which hangs in the en- trance to the music hall. A lawn concert of light music held near the cafeteria at 6:00 p.m., May 8, will be the final band activity for this semester. Harland A. Johnston Vice-president Above are three of the sixteen students in the class of 1918. Albert Werline, who will be on campus this weekend, is a retired history pro- fessor who taught for many years at CUC. Harland Johnston, who also will be on campus, is active in connection with a hospital in San Jose, Calif. Earl Beaty is retired, but he was an accounting officer for several years at Andrews University. Albert Werline President, Closs of 1918 2 THE CLOCK TOWER May 3, 1963 on the horns of a dilemma Approximately fifty percent of the students of Union College voted in the ASB elections on April 23. About the same number voted in the primary elections two weeks before the final elections. Why didn't the other half of the student body vote? Are they afraid to have some voice in their student government? Or do they think it just doesn't matter because the student government never does anything anyway. Maybe it never does anything because all of the students aren't backing it and therefore it cannot be a strong organization. Are students afraid to become involved? People who are involved in things have to work and they have to use their valuable time for the work. They are criticized for what they do and rarely get any thanks. They come up against uncooperative people and have to end up working harder than usual in order to meet deadlines. Are these negative aspects what one thinks of when he considers becoming in- volved? The positive aspects of involvement seem more important than the negative ones, especially in a college situation. Union College stu- dents are here for more than just book-learning. And they should be here for more than just social reasons. They are here to learn—to learn about life and people. In order to learn about life students must become involved in living and not just existing. To learn about people one must meet them, work with them and know them. Becoming involved in col- lege organizations and activities puts one in direct contact with a great variety of people and experiences. To live life to its fullest a person must do as many constructive things as possible. The editors are not saying that everyone should run for an ASB office. However, they feel that everyone should and can do some- thing for the ASB besides just coming to college and paying the dues that everyone automatically has to pay. It would not have been too difficult for everyone to have voted in the elections. Since that is a thing of the past, however, it would not be too difficult now for ev- eryone to take an interest in what is happening in connection with the ASB and Union College in general. If you are dissatisfied with the way things are, make suggestions to your ASB officers, even if you didn't vote for them. They are will- ing to listen and do what they can to improve our college and make it more enjoyable to you. The editors want to make the Clock Tower next year enjoyable to you, and they need your help. They would like your suggestions and would like anyone who is interested to be on the staff. They don't know everyone who is interested and talented, but want to know, so it is the students who will have to reveal their talents. They want all to be involved next year and have some school spirit, not apathy and non-involvement. If you are interested in working on the Clock Tower this or next year, please contact any of the editors or future editor. Lynnet DeRemer, Editor-in-chief-elect this is your chance . . . The editors have been placed in rather an embarrassing dilemma concerning the reporting of the recent ASB election results. The problem is due to a rather unusual phenomenon. Namely, the lack of tangible platforms among the elected "hierarchy" of the ASB. How is it possible for the Clock Tower to report on the plans for next year's ASB when the ASB president-elect has plainly stated that, "At the present time I have no platform?" We are only too aware of the fact that the lack of information about the election results which have appeared in the Clock Tower will lead to criticism of our reporting capabilities. But are we the only ones to blame? What about the officers who stood before the student body with- out a better "plea" than "I will do my best?" We most certainly hope that they will! Although the primary function of a newspaper is to report news that will be of interest to the readers, the rigors of journalism cer- tainly do not require the creation of news by the student journalist. No reporter can create a cover for the bewildered "student leader" who didn't really know what he could contribute to the student as- sociation. But rather he fancied himself as a student leader, and was elected due to little or no opposition. Fortunately, there are some dedicated students participating or planning to participate in the ASB to whom the above comments would not apply. ••••••••I Tower FOUNDED 1927 Editor-in-Chief Philip Brailsford News Edltori Lynnet DeRemer Joyce Bennett Editorial Assistants Daim Rock Photographers Bud Gooch Mike Coffee Artist Les Steenberg Business Manager Duane Miller Auociate Editor Jerry Moon Advertising Manager Russ Rexin Secretary Karen Gessele Staff Wrlteri Karen Astner Norman Finch Linda Kostenko Meredith Matthews Lowell Rideout Connie Wall Shirley Nightingale Managing Editor Linda Brennan Brent Balmer Bob Reynolds Virginia Vences Emie Pearson Darrell Holtz Mary Lou Sigmon James Erlich Don Soderstrom Advisors V.

Vice Pres.); Jerry Moon (Golden Cords); Don Krassin (Business Man.) Question: What is your opinion of the music presented by KUCV during the Sabbath hours? Linda Giles: From the pro- graming I've listened to on Sab- bath, the early afternoon presen- tations are representative of our good Christian music; however, I believe that some of the later afternoon classical presentations do not exemplify a proper Sab- bath atmosphere. On Sabbath we should particularly make an ef- fort to play Christian music that can't be heard on any other FM station. Mr. William Rankin: We some- times tune in to hear the sermon and we linger to listen to the recognizable music until about three. Jacqui Roberts: I think it's very nice for Sabbath afternoons. How About Superfluous? (ACP)—It probably started with Superman, says the Univer- sity of Kansas Daily. Then came the supermarket. Your car now may have need of a supercharger. Then there's the annual Super Bowl. One would hope institutions of higher learning would be above the above, especially our super- campus, but no. Since this term appears to be with us, for better or worse, let's strive to make more practical ap- plication of it than simply creat- ing peer group ratings. Imagine, for example, a con- versation of the future between an upperclassman considering next semester's classes and a younger member of the Centen- nial College who has just finish- ed choosing his courses early. "Hi there, kid. Are you on your way to the Union to fight yonder enrollment mob?" "No, m'lord," replies the under- classman blithely, in high spir- its, "for prior to this moment I have super-enrolled." Graduate instructors (super- students) who teach an honors biology lab would find it listed simply as super-frog. But you get the idea. We can only hope a few standard, famil- iar words such as mother, beauti- ful and hemorrhage will be un- touched in this fad to put every- thing in the super-lative. I like the classical presentations and the other type of programs presented. Richard Carlson: On the whole the Sabbath music is very Sab- bath, however, at times it seems to become just like any other concert. Darrell Holtz: I really don't dislike their music normally. It's kind of an in-between thing. It's not the kind of music I might ordinarily choose out of a stack of records but neither will I stand up screaming about it. Cheri Stephenson: I really don't listen enough. The times I have listened I have enjoyed it, though. Diane Semograd: I think we might have to cater to more peo- ple by choosing a better selection of music. I've heard many people say they don't listen because of the limited selection. I do think we need a little more variety. Sandee Pierson: I haven't had an opportunity to listen very much, but what I have heard hasn't encouraged me to listen further. Susan Rotan: I prefer our own recorded gospel music rather than classical. I think our own gospel music would reach more people. Dick Lorenz: It is a pity that we must listen to music that I feel is not really as inspirational as the Chapel recordings. How often do we hear the King's Her- alds singing Baroque or Renais- sance music? Can't students lis- ten to the music they like in- stead of what the music depart- ment likes? Errol Chamness: The music within itself is all right, however, I feel that the music department that selects the music which is played feels that all classical music is religious. I definitely do not feel that "The March of William I" or "The Queen Mary March" is Sabbath music. Tom Becker: I feel that the music and programs aired should be those that the student body enjoy. When I turn my radio on on Sabbath, it only lasts a few minutes because the music play- ed :s not college level music. I would like to see a change made.

The theme of the convention was "Dissonance and the Search for Human Dignity." The key- Students Required To Be Alarmed For those who have been won- dering why so many fire alarms, present Clock Tower news editor and next year's editor-in-chief, Lynnet DeRemer, traced the ac- tual routine of the last fire drill on campus on April 25. Jack Otto, Karl Segebartt and Roger Binder, all from the power plant, stage the practice drills once a month to meet the state requirements. Otto's job is to set off the alarm, which is located on first floor of the Ad Building. The other two men begin on fifth floor of the building, making their inspection and working their way down to the first floor. The drill is usually clocked at two minutes, thirty seconds to three minutes. Items inspected are closed doors and windows, hazards, es- cape routes and total clearance from within the building. Technically, the fire depart- ment is to be notified ten min- utes before any fire practice. However, recent accidental alarms, caused by shorts in alarm wires or by student mishandling, have been the result of regular fire department procedure. Music of Today To Be Presented An introduction to 20th cen- tury music will be presented in the "Music to Today" concert by the Omaha Symphony Chamber Players on Tuesday, May 7, at 8:30 p.m., at the Omaha Play- house. The program will feature "Avant Garde," an example of experimental music of the twen- tieth century. "The music will provide a strange but enjoyable experience," states Mr. Robert Walters, instructor in strings at Union College. A panel discussion on the com- positions presented will be held after the concert. Tickets are $2.50 and trans- portation will be provided from the campus. All interested stu- dents should contact Mr. Walters. note speaker for the convention was Dr. Anne Scott, professor of history at Duke University, whose topic was "If We Survive." Some ideas discussed at the convention were the youth's at- titude toward their society, the need for a better understanding and more patience between stu- dents and deans and the crucial nature of a dean's work in rela- tion to today's society. Miss Remley especially enjoyed the breakfast and luncheon table discussions which were held dur- ing the five-day convention. Over 1300 attended the con- vention including university and college deans and counselors from all over the United States. Elder L. E. McClain, dean of student affairs, Dr. Laurence Downing, director of counseling, and Dale Johnson, instructor in education and assistant dean of men, represented Union College at a convention in Detroit, Mich., Apr. 7-11, which was sponsored by the American Personnel and Guidance Association. This convention was attended by college faculty members who are involved in student personnel activities, such as guidance di- rectors, deans of students and student counselors. Representa- tives from almost all of the Sev- enth-day Adventist colleges were in attendance. Dozens of sectional meetings were held daily which dealt with a wide variety of topics ranging from selective service problems to student rights, civil disorder and techniques of counseling and guidance. The representatives from the Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities were fortunate to have had housing accommo- dations in Windsor, Canada, making evening meetings for their group possible. Dean McClain stated that the meetings were a real inspiration. According to him, our college's problems appear small in com- parison to those of many other educational institutions. "I at- tribute this to the select group of young people with high Christian standards that we have in at- tendance here," stated Dean Mc- Clain. Half of Golden Club Present by Mary Lou Sigmon Over fifty percent of the mem- bers of the Golden Club are pres- ent this week-end to attend the Alumni Homecoming, reports Mrs. E. B. Ogden, chairman of the Alumni Association. This group is unique in that it is the largest representation of the Golden Club ever to attend the annual festivities. Twenty-two alumni of the Sil- ver Club are being honored also. Among this group are six pas- tors, one conference president, one college president, one hos- pital administrator and one pub- lic relations coordinator. "The alumni of 1958 are also being honored, and approximate- ly twenty-five are in attend- ance," states Mrs. Ogden. This group is mostly compiled of teachers and ministers from ad- joining states. Below are listed the attending members of the Golden and Sil- ver classes: Golden Anniversary Class Dr. William J. Eckerle—Calif. Dr. Elsie Gibbs—Calif. Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Habenicht —Calif. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Johnston— Calif. Mrs. Lora Blackstone—Wash. Mr. and Mrs. V. P. Lovell— Mich. Mrs. Myrtle Persson—Calif. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Meyers— Wyo. The first Union College literary publication will soon be available to the students at the price of fifty cents per copy, according to D. J. Fike, one of the advisors of the Literary Club. The twenty-four page mag- azine, called The Pendulum and edited by Gisela Behrendt, will be available in the bookstore. Four five dollar prizes in the areas of prose, poetry, art and faculty submissions were select- ed. The judges were unable to determine a grand prize winner. "We hope students will take the opportunity to purchase one of the publications containing creative efforts of their fellow students," stated Fike. Silver Anniversary Class Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Foreign Mission Band Seeks Goal Offering This evening Foreign Mission Band will take an offering im- mediately following the hanging of the golden cords. "The pro- ceeds will help furnish new tables for the cafeteria at Spicer Me- morial College, in Poona, India," reports David Wolkwitz, foreign mission band leader. Last year a piano was pur- chased for Centro Educational Adventista, an academy in Hon- duras, Central America. "The goal for the offering which is to be taken tonight is $800.00 and will be matched by Spicer Memorial College to ap- propriate the needed funds," states Wolkwitz.

I am not certain of your sched- ule in the next month but I thought the students would ap- preciate hearing a little more of how their student missionary is being treated by Brazilian "wild- life." Some of these people can be- come quite wild but what is so wonderful is that many of them are becoming "wild" in their ac- tivities of soul winning. Brazil is going to be one of the world's most "fired-up" mission fields. It is inspiring to witness the great change that comes in the lives of these people just by pre- senting them the truth in the "Biblia Sagrada." Elder Scofield has given me the opportunity to work in an open field with the object of raising up a little group of believers. Most of you are by now famil- iar with my work in the medical posts in the Sao Francisco River Valley during the past several months. Every day was filled and overflowing with the many serv- ices in the medical work. I was thinking that there could not be a more challenging and exciting work than this. But how wrong I was, as I have learned that each new activity is just so much more exciting than the one before. I had thought I had reached the summit of enjoyment in working in these parts but leave it to Elder Scofield to show me a newer and yet bigger responsi- bility. The new location in Sao Joa- quin, a cute little villa some hun- dred miles in the heart of the Brazilian forest country. The new activities are starting an- other medical post as well as Bible evangelism. At this time may I sincerely thank the stu- dents and faculty for their gen- erosity shown in their thoughtful Christmas present of fifty dol- lars. This gift has actually made possible the opportunity of pre- senting the Bible to these people. Twenty-five Bibles were bought (all that Belo Horizonte had at the time). Many more lessons of the "Bible Speaks" or the "Biblia Fala" plan were purchased along with song books, magazines and leaflets. It should be evident that a little money from the States can go a long way in the mission field. Now to summarize our recent ... It might shake you up . . . ... or make you think more about your church. PERSPECTIVE A journal of dialogue for Sev- enth-day Adventist Laymen and College/University Students P.O. Box 4134 Burbank, California 91503 Two dollars / four issues activities. The medical post start- ed with a "real bang." We were very surprised at the response of the people. Even working with the attendants of our post near Remansinko, we had all we could do to keep up with the mass of people. Three hundred people were passing through the post on some days. On one of our first days over 200 "consultos" or physical exams were given; 180 teeth pulled; and some 220 vac- cinations given. Two days each week are spent working in the post. Then the attendants return by jeep to work in the many other posts in their valley leaving me in Sao Joaquin. This is where the fun begins. During the week I am found vis- iting the many friends that we have made through out work in the medical post. What a won- derful experience it is to talk to these folks and to present them a Bible with the well organized lessons to help them understand the practical Christ-centered life as presented to us in the Bible. We spent three or four days in the "mata" or woods, living with the families and working with them in their "farendas" during the day, and at night we have meetings in friend's homes where the neighbors can come to discuss and study the Bible. Then I can walk through the trails of the "mata" to another family, sometimes up to twelve miles away, to work and study with them. These walks have been a special blessing to me as the many wonders of Brazilian natural life become evident. It is an unforgettable experience to see some fifteen to twenty huge Arara birds making all types of racket as they leap-frog from tree top to tree top. All these experiences may sound exciting, but the best has been saved till last. There is only one church in all of this region and it is a Brazilian Christian church with about sixty active members. Several of our Bible students are members and have asked me to present this Bible program to the other members. They love the Bible and have lots of questions. Most of their doc- trinal philosophy is very close to the Bible yet some is quite dif- ferent. It is easy to show them the logical Bible views on these subjects. Some have such an in- terest that they study past mid- night in their search for the "Bible answers" to the questions in the "Bible Speaks" lessons. With such an interest as this it is not hard to be able to see results. Pray for us that we may lay a foundation upon which later workers can build to make this a "fired-up" region for Christ.

And mourners move in endless file, In screaming dirge lamenters pass— Silent, sobbing, shocked, deter- mined. And we are not resigned. And we are not resigned to placing in the soil The purest we possess, The bravest we contrive, There to be "Free at last." Free at last! Free at last!" And in the night we hear his voice His cry breaks through our shuttered souls— "I had a dream. . . . Let Freedom ring!" And we grip our hearts. And we grip our hearts and beat our breasts While shots tear through for- gotten sins. We flee the voice and find the past, There to be "Free at Last." "Free at last! Free at last!" And the ships sail on to their haven rest With secular thoughts of the landing's best, While on the shore a captain's hand Will not chart the course again. We stand aside while others bear The sailor to the ocean bier Set afloat on foaming blasts, There to be "Free at last." "Free at last! Free at last!" "Thank God Almighty! Free at Last!" We weep, we sob, in silence full we shake. While torturous gales impound our souls, The arid winds have curled the tender edges of our love. But he shall be like a tree, Like a tree by the rivers of water, Bringing forth his fruit in his season, Soon to be "Free at last." —Gerald F. Coivin Meetings Held At Dallas Site Dr. Everett Dick, Mr. Richard Booker, Mr. Cedric Ward and Dr. George Thomson were del- egates to the annual meeting of the American Historians at Dal- las, Tex., which was held April 17-21. This organization, stated Thomson, was formerly called the Mississippi Valley Historical Association. Mr. Ward stated that in going to Dallas, it was the purpose of the History Department to keep informed on the understanding and attitudes toward history. Ward said that history does not change but the attitudes toward the subject do change. Other reasons for attending the meeting as stated by the de- partment were representing Un- ion College at a progressive meet- ing, meeting informally with other SDA history teachers and searching for better textbooks. While at the meeting the group also met Dr. Charles Hirsh from the General Conference Educa- tional Department. Dr. Thomson stated that one of his reasons for going was to find some people who would like to tour Europe this summer, as eight more people are needed to fill vacancies.
