Vol. XXXI mtuT UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MAY 9 No. 16 Union Evacuates in National Alert Golden Cords Ceremony Honors Former Unionites in Friday Eve Service Golden cords were hung for ten Union College alumni on Friday evening. May 2. The an- nual ceremony which honors Unionites who have served as foreign missionaries was a part of the activities of the alumni homecoming week end. Elder Caris Lauda, class of '35, spoke at the honor service on "Our Golden Cords — Into All the World." President Bieber, class of '36, officiated as the ten cords were hung. Also partici- pating in the program were Dr. I. F. Blue, class of '10; Evelyn Graves-Tidwell, Edmond D. Clif- ford, class of '41; and Calvin Gordon, class of '33. Presidents and vice-presidents of the junior and senior classes placed the cords on the two large hemispheres. Each cord was clipped and the end will be sent to the missionary for whom it was hung. The ten are Violet Clark, Guam; Francis Crofoot, Guam; Rodney Dale and Marie Musta- Dale, South Africa; Edna Maier Harris, Brazil; Gloria Mackson, South Africa; Maxine Hill- Ordelheide, Siam; L. Dwight Taylor, Peru; Palmer and Alice Tyler-V/ick, South Thailand. The program was under the direction of the Foreign Service Band. This band was first started at Union in 1892, the sec- ond year' of the school for the purpose of preparing students for the mission field. Since then 747 missionaries have had golden cords hung for them. Courtesy Royalty Chosen De Malo, the Magician In Mystifying Marvels Saturday night, May 17, Union College will play host to De Malo, the Magician, presenting his program of "Fast and Fascin- ating Mystification." The full variety program last- ing approximately an hour and a half will be accented by a touch of Oriental flavor, costum- ing, lighting effects and appro- priate musical b;.Aground. The main feature of the program will be an original illusion with fire, being introduced for the first time to Unionites. Supple- menting this illusion will be three or four other large illusions which will be performed in part with audience participation. Included in the expected one hundred non-Unionites that will watch this show of comedy and mystery will be prominent Lin- coln businessmen and several other magicians. Barbara Fox, David Erickson $5,000 Goal of Church For "Million Dollar" Offering on May 17 Five thousand dollars is the goal set for the College View church and Union College in the special "Million Dollar Offering" for world evangelism to be taken May 17. Part of a world-wide offering in our churches on June 7, the early date has been set here in order that there might be full participation by students, teach- ers, and community folk. Pastor M. W. Deming stated, "There will not be the regular foreign mission offerings taken in July, September and March." He feels confident that the church members will get behind the program and its slogan, "At least one day's wages for mis- sions on May 17." Elder R. S. Watts, president of the South African Division, will speak in the church services May 17 on Adventist evangelism around the world. Thirteen minutes after the alert sounded, the last carload left the cam- pus during the mass evacuation of the college Tuesday morning, May 6. Groups like those above queued up at four loading zones on the campus roail. CME Doctor Reports Lung Cancer Incidence Less in Adventist Men Two medical investigators re- ported recently that Seventh- day Adventist men have only one-tenth as much lung cancer as the general population. Adventists are similarly free of cancer of the mouth, throat and windpipe, and have only a little more than half as much heart disease, the researchers reported in a paper presented before the California Medical Assn. The researchers also produced evidence that smog is not a major factor in the origin of lung malignancy. Dr. Ernest L. Wynder of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York City, and Dr. Frank B. Lemon of the College of Medi- cal Evangelists drew these con- clusions from a study of 8,692 patients with cancer or heart disease in eight Adventist hospi- tals. Dr. Lemon is an Adventist and Dr. Wynder is a non-Ad- ventist. In the group of patients 564 were Adventists with 8,128 non- Adventists of corresponding age groups. Most of the men in these groups came from the smoggiest part of Los Angeles. Among the non-Adventist group the researchers reported 118 cases of lung cancer and only one case among the Adventist patients. This case was a 63- year-old man who had smoked for 25 years before accepting the Adventist faith and giving up smoking.

Three more indi- cated their desire to continue study of God's Word. A baptism will take place on May 10. The theme of the two-week series was "Survival through Faith," and appealing topics such as "How to Commit Suicide on the Installment Plan" and "Will Russia Rule the World?" drew attendance averaging well over 45 per night. The results of the efforts have been very gratifying to some 250-300 people who directly or indirectly participated through prayer bands, ushering, choir and other special music, trans- portation, typing, and other du- ties behind the scenes. Final Senior Recital Features James May 11 The last in the series of senior music majors' recitals this year will present Sam James Sunday night, May 11, at 8:00 in the Engel Hall recital room. The program will consist of numbers in James' two applied fields, voice and baritone horn. He will sing seven selections and play four, ranging from Schu- mann's "Two Grenadiers" to the contemporary "Foghorns." 1958 GOLDEN CORDS Unveiled Released; J. C. Turners Honored The 1958 Golden Cords was unveiled yesterday evening at a special program honoring Mr. and Mrs. Joshua C. Turner, to whom the annual is dedicated. Cleo Johnson, president and bus- iness manager of the yearbook, introduced the program, entitled "I've Got a Secret," by present- ing the quizmaster, Bob Kelley. A panel of six members, in- cluding Mr. Turner, was chal- lenged to discover secrets involv- ing the yearbook cover and ded- ication. Contestant Kathy Pren- tice, yearbook editor, read the dedication to Mr. and Mrs. Josh- ua Turner, which says, ". . . because — as teachers, counselors, friends—you have in- spired, guided, understood us . . . because, through your personal magnanimity and professional excellence, you have become an inseparable part of our beloved Union College . . . and thus, be- cause Union College will always mean the more to us for your having been identified with it ... we inscribe with your names this record in the Golden Cords of 1958, as a lasting mark of our deep respect and affection for you." The first 1958 Golden Cords was then presented to Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Honorary annuals were also presented to President D. J. Bie- ber Dean E. B. Ogden, sponsors Virginia Shull and W. B. Hig- gins, and printer James Ander- son.

Cooperating with local and na- tional officials, Union was picked as the college in Lincoln to evac- uate. At 9:00 Tuesday morning the Lincoln Civil Defense Adminis- trator opened a sealed envelope which told the time, location and extent of the simulated disaster which was to occur during the morning. At the designated mo- ment he sounded the city-wide alarm and all organizations par- ticipating enacted an evacuation of the city. Students from every part of the campus went to one of four major loading areas on the cam- pus roadway where cars were waiting to take them from the city over a special evacuation route. College President D. J. Bieber led the cars to a point of rendezvous several miles outside the city. Supervising the loading areas were campus civil defense lead- ers R. J. DeVice, Earl Leonhardt, Neil Rowland, Milo Anderson and R. E. Firth. Assistant leaders were in charge of traffic on the campus. Units of the Medical Cadet Corps blocked traffic along the evacuation route. Aux- iliary policemen from downtown Lincoln guarded the vacated campus while college policeman Bob Coy inspected all the build- ings. Union is the only Seventh-day Adventist college having a fully- organized civil defense set-up. The program is directed by Alice Smith, director of the Depart- ment of Nursing, and R. M. Rey- nolds, head of the Physical Edu- cation department. Neta Wheeler looks the part at left in her prize-winning reading, "Me and My Down-trodden Sex". Marion Pritchard and Jim Thompson spent more time in the air than on the mat in their trampoline act. Year's Second Capping Honors Largest Class of Students on May 16 Twenty-nine nursing students will be capped in a service on May 16 in the college auditorium. This is the first class to be capped under the new program which takes the nursing stu- dents to the Colorado campus in August following their fresh- man year. Speaker for the program will be Elder Theodore Carcich, presi- dent of the Central Union Con- ference. Two graduate nurses, Mrs. Wayne Voegle and Mrs. Dick Roderick, will act as Florence Nightingale and her assistant. These students and eight from Southwestern Junior College make up the largest class ever to begin their training at the Colorado campus of the Depart- ment of Nursing. The class includes Loelle Anderson Betty Bentzinger, Marilyn Clark, Evelyn Colson, Jane Crozier, Karen Ericson, Ruth Fames, Carolyn Duncan.

Rock Display Reveals Rare Specimens By Connie Wells 2 CLOCK TOWER, MAY 9, 1958 bitierA kata by Sally Saturley Workshop Delegates Travel in Style By Vcrlene Potter "We're off!" At 2:30 p.m. Tues- day, April 22, five happy and energetic students with sponsor Dr. Welch drove off the UC cam- pus to attend the eighth annual Inter-Collegiate Workshop held at Madison College. The group was proudly riding in a new 1958 Edsel provided by O'Shea Rogers Motor Company. Girls compris- ing the group were Nancy Mc- Phail, Sarah Jane Anders, Bon- nie Smith, and Verlene Potter. The fellows were rather out- numbered since Bud Siebenlist broke out with measles the night before departure and couldn't go, but Ted Wick and Dr. Welch held their own very well. They took care of driving the Edsel. "I think we're smart" was soon a coined phrase coming from Sarah Jane every time she thought of the new car and fun ahead. The first night was spent at Sunnydale Academy, and after breakfast the group proceeded in the direction of Tennessee. (Continued on page 4, column 3) SIK Reception Themes Southern Showboat Scene A typical Southern scene of moss-covered trees and a lan- tern-lit showboat docked at a pier was the setting in which the men of Sigma Iota Kappa entertained the ladies of Kappa Theta Monday night, April 28. The reception began with the serving of refreshments, after which a short musical program was given. Participants included Carolyn Rhodes, Sammy Rob- erts, senior girls' trio, Jerry Brin- egar, Hub of Harmony quartet, Jim Wilmot, Don Duncan, Le- roy Schultz, Van Knauss, and the Unionaires. Bob Kelley, garbed in a white suit and black string bow-tie, acted as master of ceremonies for the occasion. The evening was capped by a film titled The Long Grey Line," which portrayed the true- life story of a cadet at West Point. Fluorite, petrified dinosaur vertebrae, pudding stones — no, it is not a foreign language but a few of the rocks in the Chem- istry Department. Last summer, Elder F. A. Page, a former principal of Campion Academy, gave Union College a large collection of rocks he re- ceived from the family of a de- ceased rock collector. Included in this collection are valuable rocks such as gold, gold dust, and silver. Cabinets are being made in the classroom in which these rocks, added to some un- usual ones found at last sum- mer's Beginning Mineralogy class, will be displayed. "Rock hounds" will industri- ously walk miles in search of a rare specimen though most peo- ple think their find to be "just another rock." One of the rocks displayed is a crystal-clear salt crystal. The question which fairly raced into my mind while I was examining it was, "Does it taste like salt?" Being of a curious nature, I rub- bed my finger across it and tasted—it was salt! Pudding stone, formed from gravel which is suddenly pres- surized, places many tiny stones together in one hard rock.

Fluorite, used in refining alu- minum, shows up the most color- ful under the ultra-violet light. Under the black light I found them a whirlpool of color, look- ing much like blots of colored ink thrown on a sheet of paper. Out from under the light they were gray, not having retained the colors displayed under the light. Small rocks with delicate blue spots caught my eye. These, I was told, were cinder agates, a very uncommon rock found only in northeastern Colorado. Observation of petrified wood, although a quick glance would find nothing but "another rock," shows layers of the wood, the rings and even the bark of the tree. The most interesting of all the rocks displayed is the agatized vertebrae of a dinosaur. Just an- other gray rock and except for its size, nearly one foot across, I would have taken no particular notice of it. Closer examination revealed agatized bone tissue and veins of the pre-historic mon- ster. All these rocks and more are in the Science hall for your ex- amination.

With term papers and projects to complete within the next few days, most of us have "no time" for anything. The last-minute activities are all piled up and we ask ourselves "Why didn't we do this sooner?" Just two more weeks of school and then the unique test week. I say 'unique' because it is only once a year that we should be studying for tests but instead find ourselves out on the campus signing annuals and doing anything but study. Only the tests will be left when we go to press again, so I would like to take this opportunity to say a great big good luck to you all on your exams. If you are like me, you will need it. Perhaps someone should check with Donna Jean Calder on the broken and, by the way, repaired table that graces the hallway on first floor. Heard someone say she was at the bottom of things thus involved. Or did they say she was on the bottom of things! Celebrity of the week is none other than our editor, Sarah Jane Anders. While she was attending the recent workshop at Madison, it seems that she and Mrs. Potter were locked out of the house in which they were staying. The fact that Sarah had on a straight skirt and heels didn't seem to affect the 'monkey' in her. She just climbed a rock pile (which I am told is bigger than our own) and proceeded through a window and into the house. If anyone needs lessons on 'breaking and entering,' check with Sarah. North Hall has been blessed with the measles. The infirmary was kept busier than it had been in a long time. For a first-hand report on how it feels to be confined for the 'three-days' involved, check with Donna Leach, Merilyn Wheeler, and Nina Speed. I'm sure all three of them are fully qualified to tell you. The alumni have come and gone. The golden cords have been hung another year, upholding a tradition of Union College. As the years go by, the names will be forgotten but always there are prayers for those on the other end of the golden cords. Meet the Neat: La Donna Milholm is a freshman secretarial major from Denver who, besides being a very nice gal, has one ter- rific personality. The men's reception entailed a lot of work for those involved and was, thanks to them, one of the outstanding events of the year.

And we would like to throw a special bouquet to Jerry Nelson, the president, whose long hours of work made the program the success it was.

The school year of 1957-1958 is almost over. Has it been a success? Union College Academy has made big strides this year. We have a new annual, have taken a thousand-mile temperance tour, put on an Amateur Hour, and last but not least, we have had a good Student Association. But does this make our school year a success? Our school spirit has not been as it should be this year. The SOWER staff has had many headaches while waiting for the students to pay for their annuals. Even though the college was having class parties the night of our Amateur Hour, if' we students had good school spirit the auditorium could have been packed. Instead we sat back and said, "The people will buy their tickets at the door so why should we sell them now?" This definitely is not school spirit. Next year, let us back the activities of the various organizations of our school. Let every student be able to say, "I am doing my best." I am sure that if we do so, our school will be improved one hundred per cent. J.

We are taking our journalistic lives in our hands in putting down the above in print, since at this writing only the last- mentioned event has taken place. So you can see that the weather- man or any one of a number of things can make a liar out of me (which in itself would be nothing new). More now if we may about the SIK reception. Kudoes to Pres- ident Jerry Nelson and all the other officers of the club for a job well done. This bouquet extends also to all those fellows and gals that helped in any way in the decorations or preparations. The gym was, in this writer's opinion, more ingeniously decorated for this reception than we have ever seen it before. And now Jerry tells us that he and vice-president Bob Washington tore all the river boat and pier down in about an hour. "O Toil! Where is Thy Just Reward?" Freddy Norman and Lewis Anderson had a siege of measles last week, but both bounced back up again as lively as ever. Those who know Fred have a special nickname or term of respect for him: "Motor-mouth." Here again we are unable to give you any final results, but up to now, the Student-Staff Council subcommittee on the student cen- ter has pending before the House of Representatives a resolution for the members to poll their constituencies as to whether or not we really want a student center. So now it is up to you. Homer Simpkins has now invented a wire cincher for the tops of burlap bags (this is to keep cats from getting out!). By now (we hope) Orlo Gilbert and Jim Maxwell have shed those abominable beards that they were growing for "Holiday 1958." Shades of Bob Scott last year! Several weeks ago, Philler on the back page (which is, we think, entirely appropriate) stated that he wished that we would sing the school song(s) more often. For what it's worth, this column would disagree wih this suggestion and offer another (this idea stolen from H. Lloyd Leno of the music department) which is: Why doesn't someone, either student, faculty member, or alumnus write us a new one that we could sing with some conviction.

In approximately two more weeks this present school year will be spoken of in the past tense. Past events which have made favor- able impressions will be placed on the shelves of the mind's spacious cabinet, to be brought forth from time to time for cherished reminis- cent reviews. Sounds sentimental, doesn't it? One might as well face it; a good and wholesome school year is sentimental. The word "sentimental" may convey the connotation to some people of "going soft" or something of the sort. Can you find a more appropriate label? One of the many memories that a lot of us will remember, I presume, are the Sabbath services in the College View church. Each time I have entered its portals I have never failed to recognize the atmosphere of reverence that pervades. Maybe in your momory, as in mine, the church has been endeared. Why not make it lasting ? . . . . On May 17 the College View church will take part in a gigantic drive which will go on all over the world. Undoubtedly you have seen placards and posters which announced $1,000,000 as the goal for missions. As a cog in the machinery which will go into motion in the near future, our church is expected to per- form at maximum efficiency. A church isn't a church without the support of its loyal members. As the leader in this great drive for missions, our pastor, Elder M. W. Deming, has urged that the students of Union College take a part as befitting loyal Adventists. Our support is needed now as a segment of this concentrated effort. Our slogan is "At least one day's wages for missions on May 17." The goal is $5,000. Suppose we indulge in a little simple calculation. . . . .... There are approximately 648 students on the campus here at Lincoln. Since most of us work in the afternoon we'll assume an afternoon's work is comparable to a day's work. Averaging, let's says, $1.00 per hour, that would give us $3,240 for a five- hour day. This tentative figure just takes in the student enroll- ment. With our community ond faculty church members' contribu- tions added to this, I see no reason why we shoudn't reach our goal? If everyone should strive and make a sincere effort toward making this drive an overwhelming success, I can imagine that Elder Deming would be proud to know that he had the help of minute- men. It isn't every pastor that can say that. Also, this may be your last opportunity to contribute to a major effor of the College View church. Will you catch the vision? It's up to you. F.C.H. cZediioA Open letter to Northerner: (Shades of Frank Everiot, my few fans are rising up in youthful anger. An anonymous individual known only as "Northerner" has taken his poison pen in hand to blast me for my column of Philler in the April 25 issue of the CLOCK TOWER. If you inadvertently missed"reading it, the sub- ject was the burning of the home of Sherman Brown, a Negro, in a suburb of Lincoln). Dear Northerner: Its really a shame that you didn't sign your name to your letter as it might be filling this space. Your words were very entertaining. Any of them that will be repeated in my letter will be in quotes. You're so right, my face was very "red when I learned Brown lied and lived in open adultry." But then Northerner, does that fact justify the burning of his home by people who weren't even aware of his adultery (you mispelled that word)? Let me suggest that you re-examine the standard of values which permits you to call these home-burners "respectable citizens." I, with you, do not condone the idea nor the actions of the NAACP. However, if I were to run for the presidency of the local chapter, your letter would be my prime character reference. Which reminds me, my party card is due for renewal. You used a sentence, dear friend, which I wish had been in- cluded in my April 25 column. "Brown and the NAACP bene- fitted (tsk, tsk, your spelling again) by that fire, not the whites." These words pretty well sum up what I was trying to say. Now I'll take my "usual inaccuracies" and go. (By the way, my name is spelled e-i, not i-e.) Signed, Phil Freitas P. S. Don't forget to return Frank Everiot's typewriter. Meeting the alumni here on the campus, I projected myself back- ward 50 years. To us who are acquainted with a mere 20 years of time, anything before cars and airplanes seems nearly pre- historic, something we cannot quite comprehend. However, talking to the Golden Anniver- sary alumni on the campus, their spirit, their accomplish- ments, their enthusiasm makes you know that 50 years ago was only yesterday. Teddy Roosevela was president then, and the Union had only 46 states. The Spanish-American War was over—and no brush with the Mexicans yet. This was the era of the Gibson girl with leg-o'-mutton sleeves and high pompadours. Men were showing off their mustaches. Workshop (Cont. from page 2, column 3) Workshop was scheduled to start at 7:15 p.m. and UC dele- gates rolled into Madison at 7:00. When Sarah Anders was in- formed that she was to have a part on a panel discussion that night, she seemed quite alarmec' but after a few quick-change minutes she was on deck and did a very lovely job in discus- sion. Though there were meetings scheduled all day and into the night, it was not all work. All delegates took off Friday after- noon and Madison College pro- vided a guided tour to the Her- mitage—home of Andrew Jack- son, the capitol building, and Parthenon—patterned after the one in Athens, Greece. Since eight colleges were rep- resented, there were many new friends made and some old friendships renewed. Friday night the AUC and UC delega- tion joined in a short walk and ended up at a faculty member's home singing choruses. Sabbath afternoon UC joined with SMC delegates and visited Riverside Sanitarium and the Southern Publishing plant. Star of the show that afternoon was Bonnie Smith when she fell down the stairs with many, many fellows standing at the bottom—to help her up. Way to make a hit! Sunday morning at 4:30 the Edsel headed back to Union Col- lege. The group returned some- where near 10:00 p.m., thinking back on their many new friends and carrying many new ideas to help them better serve the stu- dent body for the coming school year 1958-59. And what was the campus like 50 years ago? There was no pavement in College View. I'll take that back, College View had about 18" of pavement at that time. Students came to Union in horse and buggy, even a cov- ered wagon. Elder James John- son from Blair, Nebraska, recalls the campus as having the three main buildings—the Administra- tion Building, North and South Hall. Three to four hundred students studied here that year, Mrs. Lillie George-Blue has come back to Union after spend- ing 25 of the 50 years in India. One summer she recalls she was the Dean of Girls at Union in ad- dition to teaching a missions class. Her reminiscences includes North Hall as the Sanitarium. South Hall was the dormitory for both boys and girls, the girls occupying the lower two floors and the boys climbing to third and fourth. She observed the more relaxed relationships be- tween the men and women and feels that it is a benefit. When she was in school, the social as- in the basement of the new dorm in 3V2 minutes. During the same evening a fire drill was carried on. Philler..

FIRTH Entered as second class matter at the post office at Lincoln, Nebraska, April 5, 1911, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. Accepted for mailing at special rate of postage provided in Section 1103, Act of Octobcr 3, 1917. Authorized June 17, 1921. Published bi-weekly by the Associated Student Body of Union College during the school year except during holidays, registration periods, and examination weeks. Also published once during June and August. It is a well-known fact that the average busy college student in reading his CLOCK TOWER will quickly glance through the entire paper for the possible ec- stasy of seeing his own name in black and white. He will then carefully peruse the Divers Data columns for some bit of humor, scandal, or philosophy, Leditors, the feature story; and the obitu- aries come next in that order if the busy reader has not already forsaken that august publication, the CLOCK TOWER. And if the dear reader is particularly indus- trious, is sick in bed with the measles, should be studying for a chemistry test, or is unusually intelligent (this for the protec- tion of my own ego) he may in- advertently catch himself read- ing Philler on the back page. Dear friend, if you have got- ten thus far in your reading, may I bow and kiss your hand? Yours is an extraordinary ac- complishment. A recapitulation of the news items covered in Divers Data (north and south) would hardly be worth your time. Every event of interest which may or may not occur between the time those illustrious words were set on paper by Miss Saturley and Mr. Kelley and the time you read them have been worn thread- "Warmin' The Bench" By Lennart Colson Wouldn't you know it. With all the sporting events that have taken place recently we still have nothing to write about. Why? Well the picnic with its soft- ball, track, golf and what have you events, was played yester- day (we hope!) and the results were too late for this issue of the CLOCK TOWER. Basketball season is completed. Volleyball, water polo, and gym- nastics are gone. Softball has been organized but early results are also too late for this issue. The ping-pong, badminton, and smash tournaments have bogged down so nothing there. Ho, hum. Anyone for tennis? There have been some tremor- ings from the golf front, how- ever. Dean Culver, the old pro, has already posted a 92 this sea- son. Other low scores posted in- clude: Tom Hinde, 83; Dick Roderick, 84; Whitey Ytredal, 84; and Len Colson, 75. Elsewhere on the sports scene the New York Yankees are off and galloping in t^o a*--—'->an er ee es •) i, •s bare by participative enjoyment, letters home, and casual campus talk. Far be it from me to re- hash those events into the entree of your reading. Rather, it would be my pur- pose to bring to your mind some of the earth-shaking events of our time and to see to it that your thought processes were di- rected to high and noble things. However, I too am overtly swamped with last-minute cram- ming, signing of annuals, picnics, swimming, and sunbathing. Therefore, with a slight pause for recognition of two outstand- ing individuals in Faces, I will release you to race with the wind or whatever other aesthetic en- deavor you may wish to pursue. These Faces in the Crowd: Andre Pichot, a second-semester student from Algeria where his father is president of the North African Union, is adjusting quite well to his alien situation. (An- dre has been dating quite regu- larly one of the outstanding fe- male personalities on our fair campus.) Our French friend, Andre, is interesting, intelligent, and very good-looking. Georgia Strieker, who is not a student, but is still considered one of us, uses her spare time for self-improvement intellectu- ally and spiritually. How many college graduates do likewise? t n Among the Adventist men, 99.5 per cent were non-drinkers and became teetotalers within five years after joining the church. Only 6 per cent of the males in the general group were non- drinkers. Ninety-one per cent of the Ad- ventist men did not drink coffee, 64 per cent ate no fish and 41 per cent consumed no meat, the researchers reported. One third of them drank at least three glasses of milk a day. Only 13 per cent of the males in the gen- eral group drank three glasses of milk per day.
