CT Campaign Opened Yesterday outer CT Campaign Closes November 17 VOL. XXVIII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 21, 1954 NUMBER 3 Feudin Mountaineers- vie for Trophy (up; Jemison Stresses Practical Christianity Total (lock Tower (ampaign Goal is 3700 The CLOCK TOWER subscription campaign moved under way at joint chapel yesterday morning. Circula- tion manager Buddy Clark, a soph- omore from Denver, Colorado, in- troduced to the students the goals, the campaign plans, and its leaders. The goal being sought by the students is 2200 subscriptions; the total goal, which includes publicity subscriptions and campus papers, is 3700. Following the traditional proce- dure, two sides are competing for the gold cup trophy, awarded to the side soliciting and receiving the most subscriptions. The men's side is the "Martins," captained by- Carl. Bauer from North Platte, Ne- braska; the women's side is the "Coys," led by Barbara Oliver of Akron. Colorado. The names arc symbols of the "feudin" mountain- eers." The clinical campus is under the "Coys" division. Village leaders are Norma Jean Draper and Louis Johnson; Academy leaders are Nat- alie Deming and Harold Reeder. During the joint chapel the Un- ion College band, directed by II. Lloyd Leno, led in pep songs. To close the session, the students wrote their first campaign letters, which are set up as "chain letters." Closing date of the campaign is set at November 17. UC WINS ZONING DEBATE IN LINCOLN Union College opposed and helped defeat a motion before the Lincoln City Council last week which would have allowed light industry to start in the College View area. The motion for a zoning change in the area between 40th and 48th streets on the Burlington railroad about one mile south of the campus was made by the C-G Grain Com- pany of Topeka, Kansas. The Com- pany had planned to erect a 6- million-bushel grain elevator. The proposed $4-m i 11 i o n structure would have been Lincoln's largest elevator. President Harvey C. Hartman ex- plained before the City council that it is not the purpose of the college to oppose industrial expansion but to encourage residential develop- ment southward from Lincoln. He further pointed out that the pro- posed plan would have limited resi- dential expansion to the east. President Hartman revealed that the college considered a residential suburb more conducive to a good college environment than an indus- trialized section. He also pointed out that residential values would drop in the area if such a plan were carried out. President-Elect Marguerite Widener Presides At Meeting of Lincoln Music Teachers Association Mrs. Widener, Mrs. J. Wesley Rhodes, and Fulbright Scholarship winner, as she plays The Lincoln Music Teachers As- sociation held its first meeting of the year last Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. in the recital room of the Music hall. Marguerite Woodruff Widener, newly elected president, served as hostess for the occasion. She was assisted by Marguerite Klinker, Margaret McGregor, Mild- red McFarland, Betty Christensen, and Grace Finch. UC School of Nursing Exhibits at Convention Nursing students presented a dis- play at the convention of the Colo- rado Nurses' Association on Octo- ber 12, 13, and 14. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Evelyn Bergman, "The College of the Golden Cords" was represented by a replicia of two hemispheres with several figurines of the missionary nurse, the teacher nurse, the hospital nurse, and the civil defense nurse. Miss Mazie Herin, director .of the School of Nursing, attended the con- vention of the Nebraska Hospital Association in Omaha recently as a member of the Nebraska State League for Nursing. Mr. Rhodes listen to Miss Winnie Owen, for them. Winnie Margaret Owen, pianist, and J. Wesley Rhodes, tenor, con- tributed musically to the program. Miss Owen received the Fulbright scholarship to Paris as the winner of the Lincoln Symphony Audition held last spring. Mr. R h odes is chairman of the Union College mu- sic department. * COMING EVENTS * Elder T. H. Jemison, week of prayer speaker counsels with freshman Cleo Johnson. UC Band Debut Invites Audience Participation The Union College Band, direct- ed by II. Loyd Leno, presented the chapel programs October 7 and 8 for upper and lower division stu- dents. Numbers presented were; "On The Mall"—Godman, "US Field Artillery March"—Sousa, and "Men of Might"—Meretta. Each section of the band, wood- wind, brass, reed, and others, dem- onstrated their own way of tuning up and played singly their part of the tuning chord. Two students were picked from the audience to conduct the band in part of a number. Joan Norman and Jerry Lewis were the conduc- tors for Thursday's chapel; Lou Anne Kiley and Ivan Knopp con- ducted on Friday. This was the first of eight chapels to be presented by the music de- partment. Date to remember: Combined College and Academy Band Con- cert December 7. MA CHANGES TO UD AND LD SEMINARS The religion students met in the chapel for their first meeting of the semester to select a committee for the election of the ministerial asso- ciation officers. To give opportunity for more experience, the cluli voted to divide the regular seminar group into upper and lower division stu- dents, to meet at the same time on every other Friday evening in dif- ferent rooms. The officers for the upper divi- sion seminar are as follows: Ralph Williams, vice president; Eugene Johnson, secretary; James Herr. . chorister. The name of the presi- dent has not vet been released. The lower division officers in- clude: president, Leslie Bietz; vice- president, Robert Chase; secretary, Neva Seamans; chorister, Ivan Knopp; publicity secretary, Laurel] Peterson. At the first meeting of the organi- zation, Elder T. II. Jemison spoke to both groups. He outlined specific habits that those who are to enter the ministry must have. Union College's fall week of prayer closed with the quarterly communion service Sabbath, Octo- ber 16. Elder T. H Jemison, whose subject for the devotion week was "An Adequate Message," spoke at the eleven o'clock service in the college auditorium. Elder Jemison, associate secre- tary of the Ellen G. White Publi- cations, was given a large platform rocker by UC students and staff in appreciation of his services. This chair was presented to him as a surprise in the chapel service Fri- day morning. "I hardly know what to say—except, thank you very much," said the surprised speaker when Curtiss Dale and Ralph Watts presented the gift from the Student Association. Jemison's emphasis was on prac- tical, workable Christianity. Presi- dent Hartman said that Jemison's presentation, which has an educa- tional background, should elimin- ate the students' decline from a pinnacle of emotionallv-caused re- ligious enthusiasm. He stated that it should encourage clear thinking and determination to live better lives. Elder Jemison stressed extensive Bible study as a way to grow closer to God, to develop spiritually, and to live happier, Christian lives. Before accepting his present po- sition, Elder Jemison was in the Pacific Union College Bible depart- ment, then he served as chairman of the religion department at Wash- ington Missionary College.

Our constitution does not invest in the student leaders the responsibility and authority that some of our sister colleges have to work with. However, the CLOCK TOWER feels that there is sufficient power and leeway in the present set-up—at least for the present. Some proposed ideas in constitution changes would be as fatal to a healthy normal student-faculty relationship and balanced Chris- tian training as giving a four-month-old child an H-bomb. Not only would the Association be likely to kill itself but it could wreck many existing worthwhile situations on our campus. When after working completely within and to the limits of the constitution, a feeling of inadequacy arises, then let cries of reforms and amendments be heard. Progress is limited to the boundaries of the constitution but only when we have reached those boundaries in our development of student government. We feel that there is much improvement to be made, not so much in the organizations of the SA themselves, but in student AND faculty support of and interest in them. Let's not cry progress until we, the students (and let us re- emphasize) AND faculty, have made some along that line ourselves. Recently SA constitutions were passed out to all students, and those faculty members who could find time to be present in chapel. The percentage of those readily able to produce a copy now is probably below one-half of the SA members. (The SA includes as members both students and faculty.) Those able to hold an intelligent conversation on the subject are likely but a handful. Proof that the foregoing is a very low estimate would be wel- comed in many quarters, including the CT office. Further evidence of interest in and support of the SA would be a large and enthusiastic attendance at the Student-Staff Council meeting Wednesday morning, October 27. The agenda to be discussed at 9:35 a.m. in room 211 of the Administration building is the (1) parking situation and (2) a student union at UC. Let's have such a large crowd of enthusiastic SA backers that Student-Staff Council meetings will have to be held in the chapel. Let's work within our constitution. If that proves unsatisfactory, then the CLOCK TOWER pledges its support of constitutional amend- ments deemed advisable for progress. E. NUFFSED 'Penned from the heads of the Eds PRAYER WEAK? OR WEEK OF PRAYER? Student reactions have been many and varied concerning the recent autumn week of devotion. One word stands out of the various discussions from both student and staff groups: "practical." This em- phasis on the quick and the living has left little time for the emotional action and then reaction that usually accompanies a week of prayer. But all is not gained. True, religion was presented calmly, col- lectedly; but it was received more than calmly: lethargically. Perhaps this is not true in all cases, but a certain lack of spirit- ual activeness on the part of this college group has caused the inflec- tion in the above title. Are we weak in prayer? Are we taking things in the course of their matter without real thought to their import? Certain things are vital in this business of living. Differences in people's opinions of this create differing values. Only as we move with our values do we really live. Living is active. As soon as there is passiveness there is disin- tegration. Spiritually, every Christian knows the more-than-danger of this. Knowing does not mean doing. It's only the start, and when students stop it, as they sometimes do when hearing practical religion outlined, their Christianity becomes passive. Every Christian should know how much energy he must place in his activities to make him live. The realization is not enough. It's the alive, active, vital doing that will strengthen the weeks of prayer at Union College. Bouquets to. . . Students who yesterday enthusiastically started out this year's CLOCK TOWER Campaign. The twenty-eighth group of publishers is anxious to see the energy last until November 17, closing date of the campaign—and then throughout the year, to be manifested by interest: letters, news reports; comments, all will do. Ajjte.n. Qia&uatia+t Dr. Cecil R. and Berniee Jenkins Lovell, '26 and '29, of Loma Linda, California, recently visited at the home of Mrs. Lovell's sisters, Anna Jenkins, '15, and Margaret Jenkins Eitel, '19, in Lincoln. Shirley Burton, '49, dean of girls at Oak Park Academy in Iowa, spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. Verle Cowin Morris, '26, in the City. Mrs. Wilbert Dale of Iola, Kan- sas, with her two small children, spent a few days recently with her sisters in the dormitory while her husband, Wilbert, '51, conducted the fall week of prayer at Enter- prise Academy in Kansas. R. Lee Kretz, '46, a former dis- trict pastor in the Texas Conference, was called at the beginning of the fall school term to Centralia, Mis- souri, where he is serving as church paster and Bible teacher at Sunny- dale Academy. E. S. Reile, '49, has accepted a call to the Kansas Conference where he is to serve as educational and MV secretary. Mr. Reile has been working in the Colorado Confer- ence as secretary of the laymen's department and press secretary. Emory and Louise Syfert Gusso, '51 and '49, of Paradise Valley Sani- tarium in California, arrived Octo- ber 4 in Denver where they will work at the Porter Sanitarium and Hospital as cashier and a member of the supervisory staff, respectively. Janis Bascom, '48, Idella Krueger, '54; Merlene Ogden, '50; and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gunst, '54, all teachers at Platte Valley Academy in Nebraska, visited with relatives and friends at the college over the week end. W. K. Chapman, '45, pastor of the Lincoln City church, conducted the fall week of prayer at Platte Vallev Academy the week of Oc- tober'3-9. AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE. . . Who dun it? No one knows. What the garish dummy symbolizes will remain secret. But for a few short hours last week the bunchy form wavered under Union's strongest tradition its clock tower. A prankster left silent witness to this truth: that whatever goes on under its timed and timeless eyes, the clock tower remains nobly firm. Mission Band Organizes The new officers of the Foreign Mission band for first semester are: leader, Richard Stephens; assistant leader, Don Nelson; secretary, Dor- othy Furgason; pianist, Kathy West- ermeyer; chorister, Bob Chase; and sponsor, Dr. E. M. Cadwallader. A film, "The Challenge," has been shown to band members. On October 22 Mrs. Dick will tell of customs and conditions of the people in Haiti. News Notes Dr. Ola Gant, head of the sci- ence and home economic depart- ments of Philippine Union College, was a recent campus visitor of Miss Hall, Mrs. Minium, and Miss Max- well. Clara Neal, a student at Union College last summer, had an article published in the Nebraska Educa- tion News for October 8. Her sub- ject was the Union College history tour of 1954. Fifty-four former Union College students are presently enrolled at the College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda and Los Angels, Cali- fornia. Union Collge is represented in five of CME's six schools according to the roster published in The Medi- cal Evangelist. CLUBLICITY The departmental, educational, and social clubs have, for the most part, elected officers and laid plans for the coming year of activities. The following list includes those reporting clubs who have chosen officers up to date.

We are expecting enthusiastic and ener- getic competition between the young ladies and the young men again this year. The trophy cup went to the young ladies last year in a very close contest, and both sides will be working hard to win it this year. Completing campaigns success- fully is a tradition at Union Col- lege. Our student body does not fail in a campaign of any kind, and the CLOCK TOWER campaign is no exception. It is natural that we have to set goals for our campaign be- cause a certain number of sub- scriptions and the resulting income are necessary to make it possible to print our school paper without in- curring operating losses. Last year, from the thousands of subscription letters that were mail- ed, only 900 subscriptions came back in the mail. The remaining 1,200 subscriptions necessary to complete the campaign successfully came out of students pockets or were charged voluntarily to stu- dent accounts on the final rally day. That is the kind of spirit prevalent here among our student body. The CLOCK TOWER staff feels sure that there are more than 900 par- ents, relatives, friends, and faithful alumni who are interested in Union College enough to subscribe to the college paper. Should it be neces- sary for the students to dig into their own pockets to make a cam- paign successful? You'll be getting those letters soon. Plan now and put aside that $1.50 for your subscription to the CLOCK TOWER and speak to others about doing it also. You will get your money's worth. It will be like another letter from those you are interested in on our campus. And, we appreciate your interest. ROBERT E. FIRTH Business Adviser )rt er.

Robert Klein and Arlo Krueger, drivers, set out for the old college farm. Singing and laughing, they pulled up to a huge bonfire, which everyone en- joyed. Mrs. Heitzmann played her accordion, and Mr. Morfo'rd told stories. On a slightly cool night the hot cocoa and marshmallows were appreciated. Tired but happy, they all piled on the racks again and headed for home. Yvonne Mcllwain, Sam Wagner, Marilyn Harper, Wesley Welch, and Joanne Larson will plan all the entertainments for the first nine week's period. Mrs. Reginald Device recently visited the English III class and told about the part of her trip abroad which was spent in Eng- land. News Notes What: Betty Carlisle's birthday party?

Betty's Mother had done a grand job of not letting Betty in on the secret. One of the gifts that Betty is es- pecially fond of is a huge yellow "dog" to set on her bed. Saturday night, October 16, a large group of the academy young Librarian Smith Attends Convention at Topeka Miss Floda Smith, Union College Librarian, recently attended the annual meeting of the Mountain Plains Library Association held at Topeka, Kansas, October 7-9. An estimated 400 librarians, who represented the Mountain Plains Library Association and the Kan- sas Library Association, gathered for this joint session in commemo- ration of the Kansas-Nebraska Cen- tennial. The Mountain Plains Library As- sociation includes the seven-state area of Nebraska, Kansas, North and South Dakota, Colorado, Wy- oming, and Utah. Plans for region- al library service and cooperation, and reports on library legislation were discussed. Miss Julia D. Bennett, director of the Washington office of the American Library Association, said that twenty-seven million people in the United States do not have ac- cess to library service. She em- phasized the fact that more people than librarians must know of the library shortage in order to put across the library services bill. Miss Smith was one of about forty librarians who visited the University of Kansas campus and libi ~ary in Lawrence, Kansas, Fri- day morning. A panel consisting of Frank Glenn, book dealer; Richard S. Howey, professor of economics; and Joe Rubinstein, head of special collections at the Kansas Univer- sity library; discussed book pur- chasing for libraries. Elections Fill Vacancies Members of the promotion and courtesy committees, and students to fill positions on the Golden Cords staff and the UC chapter of the American Temperance Society were elected in chapels of October 18 and 19. Students elected to the promo- tion committee are Barbara Oliver, Joanne Rosenthal, Beverly Thomp- son, Marvin Stephens, and Harold Heath. The newly-elected courtesy com- mittee members are Ralph Wil- liams, Allen Karls, Thomas Hinde, Georgia Strieker, and Estelle Kras- ko. Joan Bitzer is the new Golden Cords secretary, and Melvin Camp- bell assumes the task of publicity secretary for the local ATS chapter. ERH EH bv Estelle Krasico Our prayer bands meet every Wednesday evening, and, although it is not compulsory, the attendance has been one hundred per cent. The following are our prayer band leaders: Mary Zummach, Margaret Amyx.

Peterson, Kathy Prentice, Jo Anne Rosen- thal, and Jackie Schimke. Now turning to the lighter vein of happenings: Janet Westin finds it very hard to stay awake during study period. One night when Jo Anne Boulette and Lois Loukkonen walked into her room thev found Janet tossing the clothes out of her dresser drawers. When they asked her what she was doing she only muttered a few words, crawled back into bed and fell into a sound sleep. Well girls, have you ever seen a dream walking? When De Launa Keith asked for her lyceum ticket, she was told that they couldn't find it. Upon investi- gating she found out she had a new name—"De Louse" Keith. One evening Lois Loukkonen, in a hurry to get her hair shampooed before lights out, rushed to her room, grabbed a tube and raced for the sink. She gave the tube a big squeeze and began sudsing—a-la-Colgate tooth paste! A number of the girls earn their pen money by little jobs on the campus or in the community. Ellen Holt is one of our faithful girls who does housework one day a week. It seems as though the mistress had purchased a new vacuum cleaner and was inquiring of Ellen as to how it was working, and how she liked it. and didn't it pick up the particles nicely? To know Ellen is to hear her agree: "But my what a time she by Jon Owens South hall recently acquired three new chairs in the outer lobby. These chairs are reserved for our visitors, and from the number of people occupying them lately it seems that they are certainlv verv com- tortablc. The only trouble is that most of the "visitors" arc only visitors to the Jobbv from first floor, second floor, and third Hoor. Well, Kathy Prentice, don't you think you have been gone long enough? Anyway, we hope vou en- joyed these flowers that we sent, but most of all we hope that you will be back attending classes soon. On a trip to southern Colorado recently, John Wes- terberg picked up a soil sample containing little specks ot glittering mineral. "Gold," thought John, "or maybe uranium.' But when Ronnie Nelson and Charles Sims go!: through panning the sample, John had his doubts- especially so when the ore started to react with hydro- chloric acid in the test for fool's gold. For a while though, Westerberg was attempting to sell shares in the mine before he disclosed its location. If you don't believe that old adage about too many cooks, then lie sure to take a look at Ronnie Cornelsen and LeRoy Field's latest haircuts. It seems that when Bob Rentfro was cutting their hair, he had just too much free advice directed at him. The result was an abundance of hair on the floor and a deficiency of it on the boys' heads, particularly on Ronnie's new bald. spot.

OCTOBER 21, 1954 JZunyan J\lote3 Eddleman Allocates Alligator to Budding Biologists Do you envy other people their jobs? Does it always appear that the other fellow has the "snap" job or the "padded" profession? The begrimed m e c h a 11 i c envies the white-collared bookkeeper his neat cubicle and ruled ledger sheets. The bookkeeper wishes he could have the advantages of the open country- side and fresh air afforded the farm- er. And the farmer bemoans his lot of ceaseless work, early hours, and the uncertainty of crops in compari- son to the steady employment of the factory worker. just what does this have to do with music? I'm not exactly sure, but it doesn't sound bad for some patent-m e d i c i n e seller or some- thing, does it? Actually, I am trying to get a point across, and, if you'll bear with me, I might yet be able to make the point. Among the generally considered "p a d d e d professions" is that of teaching music. I. like so many of the uniformed public, thought that a music teacher really "had it made." That was my opinion on the subject until this year when I changed my major to that of a teacher. I found it's not just sitting and listening to each student or prepar- ing daily assignments. It means that vou must be a combination psycho- logist-instructor; a taskmaster and host; an escort and messenger, a teacher and—a friend. I say think twice before you em- bark 011 this "made-to-order" job. Think twice and then go ahead and motivate your first thought. I think vou'll find it's reallv a full-time job, but if you've thought it through this far, you'll enjoy it. Union GI Reports On Service Retreat It was my privilege to attend the Servicemen's retreat, held at USA REUR, Religious Retreat House, Alpine Inn, Berchtesgaden, Ger- main'. This beautiful little city is located in the foothills of the Bavar- ian Alps, of southern Germany. The scenic beauty reminds us of the Cre- ator's love for his children. "Jesus Is Coming Again" was the central theme of the congress. The opening retreat address was given by W. H. Bergherm, associate sec- retary of the National Service Or- ganization of the Seventh-day Ad- ventists. Elder Bergherm was a chaplain in World War II in the Pacific. He had just returned from a tour of the Orient, and he brought greetings from Korea. He pointed out that now is the time for us to serve God as well as our country. E. W. Dunbar, secretary of World Young People's Missionary Volun- teer Department of Seventh-dav Adventists, was the guest speaker for the eleven o'clock Sabbath serv- ice. He reminded 11s that the world- wide work is fast finishing. Harold E. Kurtz, pastor of the National Service Organization of Europe and a graduate of Union College, was responsible for the ac- tivities planned to make our visit a pleasant one. During our stay we were taken by bus to visit the world famous "Eagle's Nest" which was Hitler's old tea house in the days of the Nazi Regime. We had a wonderful mountain- top worship service, in which Elder Dunbar gave an inspirational ser- monette. The last day of the congress was opened by a stirring flag raising ceremony which reminded us of home and the true meaning of the "Red, White, and Blue." Then came the farewell which we always have to say on this earth. I am confident that I can speak for the whole group who attended the congress: it was truly a great help for our everyday needs. I want to extend many thanks from the service men over here to those who made our retreat possi- ble. —RAYMOND STOREY INTRA MURALS Since 1924 ACCURATE Wotch Repairing at MORSE'S Doug Eddleman, Orange, Texas, exhibits Special care will be given to "Tex," Union College's Texas alli- gator. The nine-inch, two-month- old amphibian recently arrived by air mail parcel post from Orange, Texas, the home of sophomore Doug Eddleman. "Mom and Dad sent the alligator to me," said Doug. "It came from Cypress Bayou." Eddleman gave the" animal to the biology depart- ment', and it plans to simulate Texas conditions by humidity, tempera- ture, sand, water, cypress and Span- ish. moss. A record will be kept of 'Tex," the gift to the biology department. his growth (weight and length). Doug says that his pet should reach a length of one and a half feet in about a year. He gave no definite answer to the question, "What are you going to do in several years when he has grown large?" A tank of sand and varying depths of water has been made for Tex. Cypress knees and Spanish moss are 011 their way to complete the amphibian's home. "Tex would be glad to get away from his habitat," stated Doug, "if he knew that alligator steaks are great delicacies in the deep South." N urses Of Prayer Prayer is the key to heaven. By prayer we are able to look into heaven with an open eye and lis- tening ear, and hear what God an- swers to us. Prayer brings us up to God so we may better receive His message to 11s. When Jesus dwelt among men. He was oftentimes in communion with His Father. During his trials with Satan He prayed. Before His crucifixion He remained in the Gar- den of Gethsemane pleading for strength to endure the trial. How much more do we as sinners need to depend upon the key to heaven. Before we can unlock the door of our home we must fit the lock with the proper key. Before we can start the motor of our car we must have the proper kev. Before we open the post office mail box we must fit the proper key. These three illustrations are daily occur- rences to the average person today, but how many endeavor to go through each day without using the kev to heaven and tune in the heart. We must take part in prayer cir- cles, but above all we must not neglect our secret praver, for it is life to the soul. How thankful we should be that we have the privi- lege of prayer. Let us each strive to make this a better vear, a year of prayer. JANELLE ALLEN Heard a definition of a committee once. It's a group of the unwary appointed by the unwilling to un- dertake the utterly unnecessary. Heard 011 "The Halls of Ivy." nosis Of Career Why did I choose nursing as a career? Patients often ask me this question—and then I think to my- self, "Why did I really choose nurs- ing? Is it the pretty white cap, sym- bol of purity and service, the black stripe across the top of the cap. meaning vou have reached your goal?" Maybe it's the fact that you know everyone at home is proud of you and your achievements, or possibly because a nurse in the community is looked up to b e c a u s e of her knowledge and ability. Is it because you are giving lov ing, tender service to those who need your care and cannot help themselves, or doing vour part to help stamp out sickness and disease so the little children may grow up healthy and strong? I have decided it is not just one of these things, but a combination of all of them, and more too. To be able to help someone spiritually as well as physically is most reward- ing. In helping someone else to find the Master in their time of sickness and need, one is drawn closer to Him. There are many reasons for my choosing nursing, reasons that only someone else who really knows the satisfaction of service to others can fully understand.

With all ten teams making a grab for the league lead, a merry-go-round of wins and losses has occurred.
