Mr. George Bernard Griese, UC- A science and mathematics teacher, will teach mathematics and science at Walla Walla College Academy next fall. He, his wife, (Betty Scheve) and their two children, Patricia and Danny Drake, plan to leave Lincoln in the late summer or early fall. At Walla Walla, Patri- cia will major in architectural en- gineering, and Danny will attend the academy there. Originally from New York City, Mr. Griese later moved to Michi- gan; in 1942 he was drafted into the army and was married in 1945 while still in service. As we sit down to write this, the lost editorial of the year, we wish that our paper were labeled the bugle for then at least it would not seem unseemly if we would toot our own horn. However, we invoke the trite saying, "If a man doth not toot his own horn, by whom then shall it be tooted?" We look back not only on the accomplishments of this year's staff but also those of the preceeding years. Under the administration of John Haffner and Ray Herber, the paper finally started operating in the black and purchased a new typewriter and a file. Last year, Marilyn Dart and Jerrv Wadell teamed up to get the CLOCK TOWER office painted, a new desk, drapes, chair, lamps, elec- tric heater, wastebaskets, and a host of smaller items such as book- ends and a pencil sharpener. This year, thanks to Buddv Clark and a good campaign, the physical improvements of the CLOCK TOWER office have been many. The new asbestos tile floor was perhaps the leading item. Other im- provements added this year are: bulletin board, book rack and read- ing stand for old issues of the CLOCK TOWER, and an outside phone at all hours. President and Business Manager Jay Sloop has also sign- ed vouchers for usch items as questionaires and envelopes for a pub- lic relations file and a style book compiled and edited by the 1954- 55 CT staff. All in all, it has been a good year, and we have had a few good ideas and a few bad ones, and many times we have had no ideas at all. We would like to let you, the reader, know who was responsible for the CLOCK TOWER this year. Perhaps the greatest single con- tributor to whatever success the CLOCK TOWER may have had, is the Associate Editor, Ruth Sutter. Ruth, a senior English major, has work- ed tirelessly and efficiently all year long. For her dedicated service, sound criticisms, and hundreds of ideas, we extend our heartiest thanks to the greatest helper of them all. Sally Nugent and Merlin Reeder, Assistant Editors, have con- tributed much toward making the paper what it is. Merlin and Sally were in charge of the special Christmas issue. To the rest of the staff go the editor's warmest thanks for your work in making the CLOCK TOWER what it is and has been this year. To the business staff goes a real hand for the way they worked to make the year a financial success. Special thanks go to Buddy Clark and his helpers who made is possible to carry so many pictures and special features this year, through their efforts in a successful subscription campaign. The year is over for us now and the CLOCK TOWER is "put to bed" for another year. It has been fun. There has been some glory, BUT MOSTLY plain hard work. We are glad this is the last issue, but we are sure that we will miss the confusion of the CT office every oth- er week next year. We have fought a good fight, we have kept the faith, we have finished the course. Don Dick, E. Nuffsed George B. Griese In 1950 Mr. Griese graduated from Union College with majors in mathematics and education, and two years later received a master's degree in secondary education from the University of Nebraska. Besides his teaching at UCA, Griese has sponsored the junior and senior classes and the academy chapter of the American Temper- ance Society. He is also a Sabbath school teacher in the adult divi- sion. Mrs. Griese, from Cincinatti, Ohio, is a secretary at the Veter- an's hospital. They live at 4449 High Street. Student Bible Study Group Reaps Results The prison doors closed at eight in the morning recently behind Leon Martin, 25. Less than a half an hour later Martin was on the campus of Union College. Charles Cook, a ministerial student, met Leon at the prison and took him to the college to show him around. Martin had a direct interest in the college because he had friends among the students there. A group of these students are holding in the prison a class in Bible Doctrines, which Martin had been attending. < '"re at the college, lie was shown around by George Green, |ack Blanco, Harold Wolfe, and Charles Cook. From the campus Leon was tak- en to the Seventh-day Adventist welfare center where he chose some clothes he could use until he gets a job. Martin left Lincoln bound for Wichita Falls, Texas. CLUBLICITY Teachers of Tomorrow Club Walter Kennedy, captain of the local Salvation Army, contrasted the Scottish and American systems of education in his address to the Teachers of Tomorrow Club May 11. Concluding his presentation, he played his concertina and sang two Scottish ballads. The chapel programs on May 9 and 10 were under the direction of the Teachers of Tomorrow club. Elder W. A. Howe, educational sec- retary of the Central Union, pre- sented the merits of the teaching profession on Monday morning, fol- lowed by presentation of the club insignia to the members. Tuesday's chapel featured a quiz program with Winifred Metz as Dr. I. Q., assisted by Arnold Bridges, Mar- ieda Blehm, James McKee, and Cleo Swart. Business Club Members of Beta Kappa put on a play, "The Perfect Secretary" for their regular meeting May 11. In it were portrayed the "dos" and "don'ts" of a good secretary. The cast was as follows: Duane Huey, Richard Brinley, Sandra Frederick, Betty Jo Wallace, Dorothy Furga- son, Clyde Kinder, and Alberta Greene. Megacycle Club The club had station W0GVA/0 in operation during the campus tour of the visiting academy sen- iors. Merlin Dealy, W0GVA, gave novice examinations to two stu- dents at Maplewood academy on the last band tour. Another member has become li- censed. Jim Gilbert is now operat- ing from his room in South hall as KN0AWQ. Kappa Theta On May 4 the Kappa Theta meeting was held in the church annex. Mrs. Eden from Eden's Stu- dio showed slides of bridal pic- tures. Mrs. Dutton of Dutton's Flower Shop demonstrated various types of bouquets suitable for wed- dings. Those assisting her were Lena Moore as bride, Lee Thomp- son as maid-of-honor, Joan Norman as bridesmaid, and Vera Jeurink as flower girl. Kappa Theta girls planned a pro- gram on May 11 in honor of Miss Remley, their "other Mother." She was presented with a corsage of red roses and a steam iron from the girls of North hall. Those having a part in the program were Pat Petersen, Joanne Boulette, Myrna Clevenger, Altliea Rea, Beverly Thompson, Marjorie Naustdahl, and Jean Beltz. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Taylor BY JOYCE TORNOW In the September 15, 1949, issue of the CLOCK TOWER there appear- ed a news story on the front page with the headline "Taylor Joins Union College Teaching Staff." He was to teacli in the English de- partment and act as editorial ad- visor for the CLOCK TOWER. He did. But this was not the first that Union College had heard of Wil- liam H. Taylor. He had enrolled as a junior some years before, after graduating from SWJC with a pre- med curriculum. He was making plans to finish at Union and apply for admittance to CME. Plans do not always work out for young men between the ages 18-26 during war years and in Bill's senior year it looked as if his plans—plans for an August wedding and the medical school plans, must be postponed. Four years earlier, Bill had met his wife, Elsie Mae Dennis, at Keene, Texas. It had been love at first sight. Bill was working in the boy's dormitory when ELie Mae walked in with her brother. He couldn't even remove himself from the broom he was leaning on to introduce himself, but he knew he would meet that girl. He did. And on their first date he asked her to marry him. Four years they had waited and no one army was going to keep them apart for another two years. So the wedding plans were changed to February, 1942, and thoughts of school were dismissed for the time. But contrary to popular opinion, W. II. Taylor's name wasn't called bv the draft board and after one and one-half years with no call, he dared to try again to graduate. He did. In 1944 he received his B.A. degree in English. Medical school did not follow. Abilene, Texas, and Hup, two, three, four took Mr. T. away from his wife for sixteen weeks. After being discharged from the army, the Taylors came back to Lincoln. With the aid of an assist- antship and GI Bill, he earned his Master's Degree in English at the University of Nebraska. Another year in New York found the Taylor's living on an exclusive little peninsula. Mr. Taylor commuted on buses, trains and the subway every day to attend Columbia University where he was working on a Ph.D. Nineteen hundred and forty-nine and the family moved back to Lin- coln. Mr. Taylor turned his talents to teaching and working on the CT. At least these were the main and official duties of the man. Many other activities entered in. Sum- mers, he and his wife moved to the southwest where Mr. T. solicit- ed for the college. In the fall of every year, they moved back to Lincoln and school In 1950 the first addition was made to the family. This was Den- nis, named for his mother. Two years later in 1952, the second ad- dition was made, little Bill, named after his father. Mr. Taylor and the staffs work- ing under him have brought the CLOCK TOWER from a state of being $1800 in the hole to the point where there is now a balance in a reserve fund of over $1000. One other in- teresting fact concerning CT edi- tors advised by Mr. T.—all are now happily married or planning soon to enter such a state. Mr. Taylor has been seen a great deal on the Union College Campus. Students know him, like him. and respect him. He has taken part in many activities, his six years on the Union College Teaching Staff. This year he is remembered as being in campaign skits, other programs, president of the Alumni Associa- tion, Public Relations Secretary, promotions, senior class sponsor, committees, and again as Editorial Advisor of the CT A news stoiy appeared in the February 17, 1955, issue of the CLOCK TowER-headline, "Tavlor Will Take Position at SWJC." ' What Is Good Music? This is the last of a series of five arti- cles on "What is Good Music?" written by faculty members of the music depart- ment. BY HAROI.D LICKEY It is a rather commonly accepted fact that our characters are formed by the trend of our daily choices. Living as we are in the final days of earth's history, we should be constantly aware of the eternal re- sults which are to be determined by the kind of character we are building from day to day. Our choices in the field of music, as well as in literature and related fields, is just that important. Every day we as young people are con- fronted with having to choose the kind of music to which we will lis- ten. In a very real sense, these choices will have an enobling and inspirational effect on our charac- ters, or will promote a sensualistic response which, if nurtured by daily feeding, will eventually in- capacitate the soul for experiencing the deeply spiritual tilings after which all Seventh-day Adventist young people and older ones alike should diligently seek. Yes, experience and observation will demonstrate that deep spiritu- ality and a love for the popular mu- sic of the day will no more form a homogeneous mixture than oil and water. Indeed, they are utterly in- compatible in the life of the Chris- tian. Even now, the skeptics may be heard to ridicule this position. Those who read these words and find them unacceptable should be kind enough to themselves to ex- amine their sense of values and see how their devotion to the spiritual aspects of life measures up to their devotion to the gratification of their desire to satisfy the appetites of their senses. Consideration of our relationship to the times in which we live should certainly cause each one of us to weigh this matter of daily choices in a very sober way. Let us each determine that we will not choose that which would weaken our con- nection with Heaven and imperil our eternal future. CLOCK TOWER, MAY 19, 1955 3 MAGNESIUM DEFICIENT? Consider the Rats How They Grow Chemistry teocher Douglas Brown and pre-medical student Warren Lovett examine the experimental rats. BY WARREN LOVETT Acad-o-gram STAFF It is the object of experiments to see and notate causes and effects. An example of this in the chemis- try department concerns rats and vitamin deficiencies. Four different diets were tried, having deficiencies in. Vitamin A, Niacin, Thiamine, and Magnesium. The rats were started on these diets when they were three weeks old, and the ex- periment has been going on for about four weeks. The results of the experiment have been very enlightening. The Magnesium-deficient rats were the first to show the effects. They be- came quite inflamed about the ears and the eyes. At the slightest dis- turbance they were very nervous, and, after a period of two weeks, one of them went into convulsions and died, another following shortly. The rats deficient in Thiamine developed a stiffness in the joints and also a slight swelling in the joints—a disease called Wet Beri- beri. In a period of about three weeks two of them died. As of now the rats deficient in Niacin and Vitamin A are still liv- ing, but the effects are very pro- nounced. The Niacin-deficient ones arc very small as is witnessed by the cue in the picture compared to die normal one. They are litter mates as are all these rats. The rats deficient in Vitamin A are slowly losing their sight, al- though they appear quite healthy otherwise except for a few bruised noses as a result of running into things because they can not see too well. By the way, if you want to buy some white rats really cheap, con- tact the chemistry department at any time between now and the time school is out. Jde&UanA... Dear Editor, So has another year gone the way of all good school years. I'm convinced, school is here to stay, but if it just weren't for the goin' to school part of goin' to school! Excluding basic training, which, for my money, should cater exclu- sively to 'regulars, your Uncle Sam (I'll claim him after I get out) has deemed it all well and good that my learning shouldn't lapse, con- sequently padding mv way to school, not once but three times. Another twist of fate (not to be confused with "volunteering" has placed me in a thing known as TI- &E . . . information and education, and. among other things, at least that keeps me exposed. That sounds collegiate enough.) Onlv a gang plank of fourteen days span the gap between "here and there," but thanks to a CLOCK TOWI/H. wh'ch. this vear has been nnf of the hest. we have lived next best to reality of student status. In- cidently, "we" includes Don Allen, Norman Keymer, and Ed Williams, all located within one dav by ox- cart! Ed is a bit remote from the rest of the crowd though, not yet having devised a suitable mode of navigating the rice paddies. Our appreciations to vou for vour continued support and loyalty. Con- gratulations to the CT editors and staff on this year's editions, though, a time or two, your Leditor columns could have been more particular! See va, LOREN DICKINSON Dear Editor, . . . Right now I'm on a direct assignment as a medical tech. to the Valley Forge Army Hospital, weather has been nice. It's well wooded with lots of hills around here. The hospital is about two miles from a little town, Phoenix- ville by name. Here on the post they have all kinds of facilities for con- valescent patients: swimming pool, golf course, ball diamond (its lousy), and tennis courts. I sometimes wish I were a patient —they have it made. Last week end I was down to D.C., and, since that was my first time therp, I really looked around. Laurie McLaughlin and I made a real fast tour; we had a gav time. Pvt. Francis J. Crawford US 55481347 9963 T.U. Valley Forge A.II. Phoenixville, Pa.

Editorial By talking to the students of UCA, you may find that not so many as would be expected are really anxious for school to close- some because it is their last year here and they will be leaving old friends, and some because of the lack of something to do this sum- mer, regret May 26. I am sure, though, that everyone agrees tint' this well-deserved vacation will give most of us and our sponge gray matter a rest and make us ready for school next year. If all work and no plav makes Jack a clidl boy, possibly the same effect might be expected of all school and no vacation. CLAIR JOHNSON UCA school activities were cli- maxed Monday night, May 9, as Arlo Krueger and Eleanor Larson were crowned courtesy king and queen. Attendants to the royal cou- ple were runnerups Betty Lou Car- lisle, Marvel Jensen, Kay Schwark. Harold Reeder, Larry Duffield. and Larry Winters. The two small pages, carrying the crowns, were Tuffy Schwab and Nancy Trubv. In honor of the king and queen springtime program consisting of readings, poetry, and music was given. Clair Johnson, Robert Willis, Walla Walla Wins MPA Paper Priie WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Ad- ventist Collegiate Press Association this week named the Walla Walla Collegian winner of the ACPA tro- phv for excellence in journalism in 1954-55. The Walla Walla paper chalked up 90 out of a possible 100 points in the ACPA Check List for Col- lege Papers. The Criterion, last year's award winner, dropped out of the running this year when it failed to submit regular issues for judging. Two major weaknesses which the judges found in most of the com- peting papers were faulty headlines and insufficient number of advance stories—stories that would actually be informing the student reader- ship of news thev did not vet know. The ACPA will report the find- ings of the judges on individual pa- pers to their respective college edi- tors. Actual awarding of the trophy— a silver loving cup—will be made bv the General Conference Bureau of Public Relations at the opening of the 1955-56 school year. To the staff of the winning paper the as- sociation extends its congratula- tions for a job well clone. (Ed.—Congratulations to Col- legian Editor-in-chief David Grau- man and his staff.)

"Yes. I'm to turn in four hundred words relating past events that have appeared in the CLOCK TOWER." "Sounds like another review to me." "Anna Ruth, maybe we could collaborate." "Fine! We could start out by saying something about the painful" Ingathering experiences that North hall residents had after having to take those Gamma Globulin shots when the polio scare was on." "Or maybe we could say something about John Westerberg's 'gold' mine, which turned out to be only fool's gold when put to the acid test." "Oh! yes, that's the time the ace salesman failed to sell." "That was about the time of the campaign when you were falling asleep muttering 'Get those subs!" "What a campaign! Your South hall colleagues battled long and hard, and we appreciated the fight but seems as if it was intended for the cup to reside in North hall even if it did keep making little trips to the south." "Or we could mention the enormous milk intake of Ed Owens, Kenneth Dedeker, and David Priest after being inspired by Tommy, the Baby Lion." "Great! Let us not forget our mature entertain- ment. And in the next issue was your little story telling about Bong Mo Lee nearly letting Laverne Hansen have a wreck." "That was funny! Laverne backed the truck out into the middle of the road, heard screeching brakes, jumped out of the cab and yelled, 'Bong Mo, I thought I told > ou to watch out for cars?" Quickly came Bong Mc's reply, 'No cars, truck.' " "I was looking over some old CLOCK TOWERS the other night, and I think some of your little 'chemical' formulas like Ba -I- 2Na —> Banana would be some good review material." "Anna Ruth, why don't we say something about all those animals that have been wandering through the dorms—for instance that clog that Allen Miller and Leroy Fields put in Melvin Campbell's and Bob Rentfro's room to keep warm?" "That's the dog that ended up in Leonard Suter's bed, wasn't it?" "That's right. Or maybe we could tell about the 'Decline and Fall" of Wendy Owen's chick." "But, Jon, lets stick to people for awhile. We could mention interesting and different people like Betty Jo Wallace, who goes to class with her pajamas on, or maybe LaVonne Ludwig, who brushes her teeth with hand cream. And then there's alwavs the genuine eccentric like Sandra Graves who sets a chair on top of her bed to study so her feet won't get cold." "You mean people like Carlos Swan-on and Ken- neth Dedeker who let their hair freeze when they come from the swimming pool; or characters like Ronnie Cornelsen with his one square inch of urani- um land; or the fellow who sawed off a corner of one of Mr. Lewis' cabinets just because he had bumped his head on it and considered it dangerous." "Then we could always mention something that happened at the school picnic, or at one of the ban- quets.' "Yes, but right now 1 don't remember anything particularly outstanding." "Well, sounds like to me we'll be able to work up something. When will you have time to work on it?" "Tonight?" "No, I've got to work. How about Sunday morn- ing?" "Have a lab then, but you can come on over and after I set up my experiments we'll work on the 'com- bined-column.' " "'O.K., see you Sunday around eight." "See you then." P.S. Your columnists are very much aware of the fact that "Overheard" has had no real literary value, but, if you have enjoyed reading about the happenings and mis-happenings from the two dorms as much as we have enjoyed gathering and writing the material, then the time that we have spent has been worthwhile. This school year has been quite successful in the sports field. A friendly competitive spirit has pre- vailed at all the sporting events, and everyone who has participated is a better person for it. Although sports are not the im- portant part of college life, every- one will agree that they have im- portance. There are things learned on the football field, baseball field, tennis court, or whatever it be, that can never be picked up in a class- room. As baseball began to fade away last fall, football came into the lime- light on the UC campus. Teams soon organized and began the tussle for the trophy. The Philadelphians and Koshers wrestled for the top place, but the Koshers went un- beaten for the season and thus cop- ped the cup. Volleyball, next on the roster, provided entertainment for the participating teams. The faculty team, though hard pressed by the Stags, finally came out on top for the trophy. FROSH PLAY AND PICNIC AT PIONEER PARK Sunday afternoon, May 8, found the freshman class, with guests, journeying to Pioneer Park for their main activity of the school year, the picnic. This vear the boys chose teams with Jack Hartley and Art Dick as their captains and played a game of Softball which ended in a tie. The girls also played softball with. Mary Harr and Diane Kel- strom as captains of the teams. Mary Hair's team was victorious. After the activities of the after- noon a supper was served. Freshman officers are Art Dick, president; Verlene Nesmith, vice- president; Neva Seamans, secretary; lack Hartley, treasurer; lack Robi- son, sergeant-at-arms; Jim Black- burn, parliamentarian; folin Covrig, pastor; and Dr. M.

EVERYTHING TO BUILD ANYTHING Congratulation SENSORS ©as© acc©p! our heartfelt wish your continued success ice Pharmacy Basketball, the delight of many a fellow on the campus, then began. After Christmas vacation the league went into full swing with the Lucky 7 and the Philadelphians battling to the line, and the Philadelphians finally coming out on top to placc right up there this time in the win- ner's circle. With the winter months coming to an end, the trend turned to soft- ball and track again. The school picnic was a big success with the freshman winning the track events 27 to 26Vi beating the sophomores by V> point. Softball, tennis, and golf are right now in the process of play- offs. Ellis Olson is leading in the tennis tournament thus far, and Bill Templeton and Doug Hill are in the finals straining for the win- ner's spot in the golf tournament. That about winds up the sport- ing events for the year on the UC campus. We had a lot of fun, and no doubt accomplished much in the line of personal sportsmanship. unyan -Noted At the beginning of the year I emphasized the need and the hope for an increased and accelerated musical program. I'm not facetious enough to think that the mere sug- gestion in the column would bring about the ultimate activity mani- fested almost weekly during this last school year. That there defi- nitely has been more music this year than in years past can be at- tested to by a quick resume of the year's musical events. it J k To acquaint the students with the various aspects of music, a monthly music chapel program was incorporated. Every feasible and practical phase of music was pre- sented during the short time allot- ed, and a greater appreciation of music was, I think, effected. A not- able step forward in group music was the forming of the Male Chorus by Mr. Lickey. This group became such a popular organization that plans are underway for this to be part of the school's curriculum. Pro- fessor Rhodes' Unionaires along with the Male Chorus and the Cot- lege Band helped to advertise Un- ion College throughout the central, north-central and western states. # J J. J o ^ The presence of the Union Col- lege Band at many of the school promotional and recreational acti- vities added that spark so necessarv to a successful program. If J J. J o k There have been many more mu- sical programs this year than be- fore. We had the new Student Tal- ent program early in the fall that let us glimpse for the first time the new talent that was to contribute to the parade of talent turned out at Union. The Soldiers' Chorus presentation of "A Soldier's Christ- mas" was probably as well received a musical program as any put on this year in a secular vein. I J J. J c k Then just recently the "S. S. Mu- siciana" was performed for the Col- lege View area with unusual recep- tion by the audience. f J J. J * h I could enumerate for some time on the different musical lyceums, departmental recitals, programs, and such, but all of you can re- member what they were and how they helped to add to our enjoy- ment of the school year. t J J. J o k The music department is plan- ning for the coming term an even fuller, more entailing program even than this last year. With the acqui- sition of an orchestra instructor, together with the other instructors, there will be afforded to the musi- cal aspirant almost any kind of in- struction and participation to be offered anywhere.
