Mitchell, Krampert Named 1967 Student Missionaries Jerry Mitchell and Karla Kram- pert are the new student mission- aries for 1967-68. Their names were announced at die close of the Dec. 9 MV meeting. These two students were se- lected from die 23 applicants on die basis of their abilities, past ex- perience, and ease and competence in associating with others. "A ma- jor consideration was the ability of the students to promote the student missionary program on campus fol- lowing their return from the mis- sion field and the degree in which die student body would respond to them," one of the members of the committee choosing the two stu- dents stated. Mitchell is a junior pre-med stu- dent from Fort Worth, Texas. Last year he attended Southwestern Union College, Keene, Tex. Pres- ently he is the head usher of the Usher's Club and one of the Golden Cords photographers. Last year he was the photograph- er for the college paper at South- western Union College and the sophomore class pastor. He was the MV leader during his freshman year. He has spent one summer colporteuring in Austin, Tex. For die last two summers he has worked for die Forestry service in the Plumas National Forest in Cal- ifornia.

His father is a nurse at the United States Public Health Hos- pital at Fort Worth. This is one of the two hospitals in the United States for narcotics addicts. Karla is a sophomore English ma- jor from Kenosha, Wise. She is pres- ently the associate editor of the CLOCK TOWER and the secretary of the MV society. At Wisconsin Academy she was die senior class valedictorian and an MV leader. She enjoys languages and likes to write. These are the reasons she gave for taking an English major and a German minor. When asked what she expected to accomplish during the summer in the mission field, she said she hoped to benefit both the mission ancl die school. "One can't bring back a good experience unless he is of service in die mission field." Twenty-three students turned in applications. The 13 young ladies who were not chosen were Lynette Avey, Connie Beck, Eldonna Chris- tie, Elsie Flemmer, Lelia Galbraith, Lynda Kostenko, Donna Jean Ny- man, Sharon Potter, Kathleen Swanson, Marybedi Watkins, Elaine Wendand. Cheryl Wheeler and Lorene Yackley. The eight other men besides Mitchell were Mike Burton, Stuart Draper, Larry Hallock, Ed Harlan, Bob Holbrook, Larry Otto, Eu- gene Rittenhouse and David Sam- ple. No. 11 Ebert's Film 'Great West' Here Dec. 17 "Journey Through the Great West" will be narrated by photog- rapher John Ebert Saturday eve- ning Dec. 17 in the Union College auditorium. The trip begins in California and then zigzags through Arizona, Colorado, Utah, South Dakota and back across Wyoming, Idaho and Washington. Ebert's pictures portray the rest- less spirits of pioneer western trav- el. A few of the film sequences in- clude : Monterey Peninsula, Seal Island, die great Redwood forests, Disneyland, and Mohave Desert, a hike through the Grand Canyon, the ascent of Devils Tower, a Jack- son Hole Rodeo, Seatde's famous Space Needle and several national parks. Ebert, a participant in 30 expe- ditions to different parts of the world, is an authority on expedi- tionary operations and has taught courses for college credit on travel and wilderness exploration. Humorist to Address ASB On Jan. 6 American humorist and psychol- ogist, Dr. Clayton Rogers, will speak at die ASB Convocation on Friday, Jan. 6. Dr. Rogers' topic, "Funny Tiling About Humor," should reveal his flair for story telling and originality which has won for him guest ap- pearances on the major television networks. He is recognized as one of the top-ranking speakers and hu- morists on the American platform. Dr. Rogers spent the first 16 years of his life on an Illinois farm until he moved to Chicago. It was there, during his freshman year in college, that he became interested in humor as the result of a public speaking course. During the past 24 years, Dr. Rogers has appeared in all but three states, doing what he likes best, making people laugh. Some Student Council members have questioned the wisdom of hav- ing the ASB spend over three- fourths of its total convocation budget on this one program. Dr. Rogers' fee will be more than $375. The CLOCK TOWER staff wishes each reader a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR See you Jan. 12. Members Review History Tour During Tomorrow's Convocation The six Union College students who went on the 1966 three-contin- ent history tour will present slides and anecdotes about the tour in convocation tomorrow. The six are filling in for tour di- rector, Dr. George Thomson, who is currently receiving treatment at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Lincoln for sciatica, a back condition. The six a r e Cheryl Bean, Bill Bliss, Linda Gail Burton, Bob Christensen, J e n e i c e Ordelheide and Donna Parmele. Among the tour highlights were Mt. Sinai, Moscow, East and West Berlin and Normandy Beach. Next summer the Union College history department will sponsor a similar tour in conjuction with An- drews University, Berrien Springs, Mich. Dr. Richard W. Chwarz, chair- man of the history department at Andrews, will work with Dr. Thom- son. Because only a limit of 34 may be taken, the directors are attempt- ing to reserve this tour for students only. Also in conjunction with An- drews, a graduate history course about social and cultural Europe will be offered. According to Dr. Chwarz, the students at Andrews are showing considerable interest in the tour. The display in the student cen- ter this week has been devoted to the tour. It has featured pictures and artifacts which Dr. Thomson and the tour members collected last summer. Also, at 6:30 on Saturday night, more pictures of the tour will be shown at the "Christmas Around the World" program in the student center. Brochures and more information about the 1967 three-continent tour are now available at the history de- partment office which is located in room 207 of the administration building. 2 CLOCK TOWER December 15, 1966 ¥ CLOCK JCWCR Opinions expressed in the editorial column are those of the editors.

DAN PAULIEN EDITOR BEVERLY BEEM MANAGING EDITOR KARLA KRAMPERT ASSOCIATE EDITOR BILL BLISS NEWS EDITOR J4ow Sine 3d Our Worship? We would like to quote a short section from Arthur Hauck's Dec. 12 chapel talk on the eighth commandment. Ever since Eden, it is tragic what has been stolen from God or taken from man in the name of religion. Let us take just one case in point, a perennial point of contention, compulsory worships and chapels. First let me clarify a gross misnomer, there is no such a thing as compulsory worship. You cannot make anyone worship, you can only require their attendance, and that raises the question concerning fines for meetings that often achieve no other purpose but to see if people will come to them. Let's take chapel. If I had to post a thousand dol- lar bond, or better yet, if I had to give every one of you a dollar bill for the right to occupy your time, then after the meeting I would stand at the door and if you felt that I had earned the dollars worth of time you would pay me back, I'm afraid that I wouldn't take the risk. Yet if somebody chooses to miss this meeting it will cost him a dollar whether I earned it or not. Ev- ery chapel speaker must earn the right to demand over 500 man hours in the name of religion. This kind of ethic with a pious dollar sign is hard to realize es- pecially when the dollar so conveniently satisfies the piety. This kind of religious thievery casts an aspersion on real spontaneous manifestations of genuine reli- gion. But before applauding these rather caustic com- ments, let me remind you of the implications of the old adage, it takes a thief to find one. The pendulum swings abruptly to those who are stealing from time uniquely reserved for the worship of God. The gross lack of honor, even among thieves, make corporate worship, even when not compulsory, impossible. The challenge to each of us is clear. We and only we our- selves are responsible for our own religious experience. Group worship can never take the place of private worship. Is there enough private worship on this campus? We think not and in our next edition we will discuss some of the reasons why this unfortunate situation exists. THEOLOGY SEMINAR Letters To The Editor Generals or Politicians? The newest word on Vietnam is that it is going to cost billions of dollars more than was originally planned. Nearly half a million of the na- tions finest youth are in Vietnam, and every week one hundred plus of these youth are killed, not tak- ing into consideration the hundreds more that are wounded. Many people of the United States are beginning to wonder if it is worth the price. Why shouldn't they wonder? It is obvious to near- ly every American that this is a po- litical war we are fighting; a war that changes widi the political at- titude of our leaders. If it is ad- vantageous for a certain political party, they stop the bombing of North Vietnam. To them it doesn't matter how many die. A war helps the economy, and the longer it lasts the better it is. Why is this a political war? Why not put the war in die hands of our generals? Why leave it in the hands of our president to use it to political advantage? Is our country pursu- ing the same course of action it pursued when President Truman replaced General Douglas McArth- ur, because McArthur thought the only way to fight a war was to win it? I think it is. Then what kind of a victory are we going to win? It will be another Korea. It won't be a victory. It will be just another parallel with the Communists on one side and the United States and her allies on the other, with the threat of invasion at any time. It will be a place where our enemies can cross over and ambush our men like they did in Korea recently. Why not use all of our military strength, excluding atomic strength, to bring our enemies to the real- ization that they can't win? Why waste our best youth in a long drawn out war? If we are going to fight a war, let's fight to win. Let us put the war in the hands of our 'Thanks! For making it a bit brighter over here.' Christ's Birth: Divinity Clothed With Humanity BY NORMAN JARNES When man fell, the principle of selfishness replaced that of love in human nature. Man's physical, mental and moral powers were per- verted to serve sin, and as a result they were weakened. However, it must be remembered that these de- generate powers are not sinful. They do not constitute character. Rather, they are talents which God has given us that we might form characters in harmony with His law. (4T 606) Satan claimed that with weaken- ed physical, mental and moral powers, mankind could never ex- pect to keep God's law by reaching a state of sinlessness. Therefore he concluded, that these requirements were unjust. This argument must be met. God had to prove to the universe that His government was just and that His laws could be kept by all if they would only exercise complete faith in Him. And so, He who was one with the Fa- ther stepped down from the glo- rious throne in heaven, laid aside His royal robe and crown, and clothed His divinity with human- ity, thus bringing Himself to the level of man's feeble faculties. (R&H Dec. 11, 1888) Christ came to show that the func- tion of man's powers could be sin- less when completely controlled by the principle of love. But how could Christ be born sinless when every child since the fall of man inherits what is termed a "sinful nature?" In other words, every child is born possessing the principle of selfishness. (Ps. 51:5; 58:3) It must be affirmed that Mary had no sinless nature to pass on to Christ. The only nature He could receive from her was a "sinful na- ture." If Christ took this nature, how could He be our Saviour? Yet Inspiration testifies, "... He took upon Him our sinful nature." (R&H Dec. 15, 1896; see also MM 181) But then we read, "We should have no misgivings in regard to the perfect sinlessness of the human nature of Christ." (5 BC 1131) There seems to be a contradiction between the above quotations; but in the solution to this problem we see unveiled the hope of humanity, for Christ's incarnation reveals what we may become through par- taking of the divine nature. We are prone to forget that when sinful humanity is fully united with divinity through the fulness of the Spirit, it becomes sin- less. (TM 506) In Christ we see humanity born "of the Holy Ghost." (Matt. 1:20; Lk. 1:35) Christ not only took sinful humanity, He also took divinity. By uniting sinful hu- manity with divinity through the operation of the Holy Spirit, that humanity became sinless. Christ in the weakness of hu- manity was to meet the tempta- tions of one possessing the pow- ers of the higher nature that God had bestowed on the angelic family. But Christ's humanity was united with divinity, and in this strength He would bear all the temptations that Satan could bring against Him, and yet keep His soul untainted by sin. And this power to overcome He would give to every son and daughter of Adam who would accept by faith the righteous at- tributes of His character. (I SM 2:23; see also DA 664) generals and not in the hands of a political party, namely our pres- ident. HOWARD REYNOLDS, senior theology major Card to a Dead Soldier Today I wrote notes in several Christmas cards for the men in Vietnam. One I addressed to David J. Branstrom, and this is what I wrote: "Dear Dave, I'm 21 and you're only 19, but to you and all the other guys over there I owe unex- pressible appreciation. . . . "Most of us think of all of you over there every day and realize that you're faithfully doing our part as well as your own. Thank you a thousand times—and if you can have a happy Christmas, please dol" It's 12:25 Saturday night right now. Just ten minutes ago I heard the FM radio announce that a Lin- colnite, David Branstrom, was kill- ed in Vietnam. As I tore open his Christmas card and re-read my own message to him, I couldn't help but sense a deeper debt to Dave—a man I've never seen be- fore—and to all the others like him. And I couldn't help but wonder how much we really do think about those guys and really appreciate fully what they're doing lor us as we go to school and enjoy the lux- uries of relative freedom. LARRY HALLOCK, junior theology major Union's Indifference Recently Union College was in- volved with class elections. Voters; as never before, did not turn out for class organization. When the time came to nominate class lead- ers, the majority of voters were elsewhere. The seniors with 160 members were able to recruit 55 voters. Not badl Well, considering what another class had been able to do, the seniors were to be com- mended. The juniors had so few students show up for election that it was decided to postpone the election until another time. The class elections are just one example of what happens often at Union College. Very few students care enough to taken an active interest in the affairs of student re- sponsibilities. Union College is suffering from an internal disorder—indifference. It shows up in every facet of school life, worship, sports, proj- ects, elections, etc. We have too long let a few students handle the responsibilities of leadership. We have too often neglected our duties as a part of the whole team. A team, if it is going to be successful, must have 100 per cent participa- tion by its members. We are the members. Let us remember that a better Union begins with me.

Hauck said, "I am not concerned about things that are stolen, but rather with the taking from someone else that which dis- tinctly and uniquely belongs only to that person." A couple of ex- amples of this are the freedom to choose and the freedom to become himself. • Andrew White, area manager for the Dale Carnegie courses, spoke at the ASB convocation Dee. 9. He centered his talk on the theme, "We are almost limitless in what we can accomplish spiritually, emo- tionally and mentally." He com- mented that the United States is the richest nation in the world "only by the co-operation of a lot of people." • New metal desks and filing cab- inets will be added to the registrar's office very soon, according to Reg- istrar L. W. Welch. • Harry M. Tippett, associate book editor of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, reminded the 163 seniors at the Senior Rec- ognition assembly, Dec. 2, that graduation did not mean success, but it was what they did with their lives after graduation that deter- mined their success. • Major Glen T. Beauchamp, who has served two tours of duty with the Marines in Vietnam, addressed the students at joint worship, Dec. 8. Major Beauchamp, who return- ed from Vietnam last January, is now in charge of the Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program at the University of Ne- braska. In his comments on die war in Vietnam, Major Beauchamp said, "We need a sense of person- al involvement and commitment, whether on the battlefield or here at home. Our servicemen have brought a measure of hope to a people who are struggling to keep their nation free." Clubs and Organizations • Dynamic lighting and sound ef- fects, changing scenes, student nar- ration and music are all to be part of the MV Christmas program to be held tomorrow evening at 7:15 p.m. "The object of die program is to tell the same old story in a way that will be relevant to us as stu- dents, with the emphasis on the love of God through the gift of His Son," says student coordinator Larry Hallock. • "Inspiration" was the theme of the Mid-day Meditations given last week by Jay Roberts, a junior the- ology major. This week's services are being held by Karen Paulik and Walter Nuessle. • "A minister is able to live ad- equately and comfortably on the ministerial salary," stated Elder Floyd Bresee at the Ministerial Aux- ilary meeting Dec. 5. The basic monthly salary of the SDA minister is approximately $100 below the av- erage of other denominations; how- ever, the total annual income in- cluding benefits is $1400 over the average.

Nurses Get Pediatrics Experience BY JUDY NELSON Student nurses in the pediatrics rotation crawl out of the VW bus still yawning. As they enter the large Fitzsimons Hospital, Mrs. Ha- zel Rice, instructor in nursing, tells each of them their program of ac- tivities which includes observation of open-heart surgery and the car- ing of children on the pediatric floor. One student smiles as she looks at her first patient, Debbie, who is fifteen months old, has a congen- ital heart anomaly and probably will not live longer than three or four years. Doug is five and must be taken to the X-ray deparment for an in- jection of dye so his kidneys can be filmed. He thinks the wheel chair a rare treat The student nurse has become security for him so he turns to her when technicians explain about the mosquito bite he will have. "Is it a poison mosquito?" When she smiles and tells him no, he is satisfied and cooperates for the injection and X-ray. In the pediatrics clinic, mothers come carrying, leading or pulling reluctant and fearful offspring. How could eyes get so big and round, the nurse wonders. At the same time she hopes her smile is reassuring and friendly. They are trying to be brave, and a shy smile is a reward to the student, who needs a little reassurance herself, before making the injection. Two black-eyed boys, six years of age, come in with their father. How cute they are: identical twins with identical diagnoses—1 e f t in- guinal hernias! The work day ends. It is back for class at the school. The student reviews her activities of the day. The cold breakfast and rush across the city in die early dawn to this huge veteran's hospital has its re- ward: the satisfaction of being able to extend love as well as trained service and to be looked to for com- fort and security.

AT YOUR BOOKSELLER At Your Favorite Bookstore tw, 4 CLOCK TOWER December 15, 1966 (Photo by Bud Gooch) Dr. Laurence Downing being interviewed in the Guidance and Counseling office by CLOCK TOWER reporter Robin Simmons. CT INTERVIEW Downing Specializes In Listening BY ROBIN SIMMONS "The most common problem among students here at Union is parental pressure or student com- petition for and toward some un- known and foggy horizon." said Dr. Laurence Downing, director of counseling at Union College. "We try to help the student talk out his feelings and help him form an accurate mental image of him- self." Just over a year old now, the Counseling and Testing Center is seeing twice as many students as it saw last year. "I would say we see about 25 or 30 a week. Of course, it comes in seasons. Just be- fore the nine weeks exam there is an influx in the number of students we see per week. During the spring, for some strange reason, we also have an increase in the num- ber who seek our a d v i c e," Dr. Downing said with a wink. The Counseling Service is a place where students may go and always find a responsive, listening and interested person to whom they may air their problems, com- plaints or even advice. "Sometimes it's hard for me to sit still, keep my moudi shut and listen. It is often just being a good listener which helps a lot. Helping a person evaluate himself is prob- ably the most beneficial thing one can do here," commented Dr. Downing. About a third of those who seek advice are concerned specifically with their grades. One of the more pressing issues facing counselors to- day is what to tell the student who is more "hand-minded" rather than academically-minded. "Right now the General Conference is consid- ering this problem with the thought of perhaps establishing trade or technical schools," said Downing. "It seems that our educational system emphasizes few careers," Downing said. "It is one of our jobs to help the student realize that there are many types of jobs one can successfully prepare for and still remain in one of our Advent- ist colleges."

At the present time each grad- uate wishing to teach in the sec- ondary schools has to apply to the state where he desires to teach in order to be certified with that par- ticular state. Accreditation would mean that all those graduating from Union College who have met the require- ments of our secondary education program will have full accredita- tion in all fifty states and in some foreign countries. Dr. E. B. Ogden, chairman of the committee working on the re- port to be submitted to the Na- tional Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, is working to- ward the deadline in the spring when a team from NCATE will be on the Union College campus to examine Union's secondary educa- tion program. The report of the NCATE team will go to the Validation and Ac- creditation Committee which meets in July. "We will know by Sep- tember whether we are approved," said Dr. Ogden. Union College at present is pro- visionally accredited for its elemen- tary education program and will be inspected by the same NCATE team next spring for full accredita- tion.

We'll start with the hardest gift problem of all: what to give the man who has everything. Well sir, here are some things I'll bet he doesn't have: 1) A dentist's chair. 2) A Mach number. 3) A street map of Perth, Australia. 4) Fifty pounds of chicken fat 5) A pack of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. . . "What?" you exclaim, your eyebrows leaping in wild incredulity. "The man who has everything doesn't have Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades? What arrant non- sense!" you scoff, making a coarse gesture. But I insist. The man who has everything doesn t have Personna because everyone in the dorm is always borrow- ing them And small wonder! Wouldn't you be there with an empty razor and a supplicating sidle if you heard some- body had super-blades that were super-sharp and super- durable; that scrape not, neither do they nick; that shave you easily and breezily, quickly and slickly, scratchlessly and matchlessly; that come both in Double-Edge style and Injector style? Of course you would! So here is our first gift suggestion. If you know a man who shaves with Personna, give him a safe. Next let us take up the thorny problem of buying gifts when you have no money. Well sir, there are many won- derful gifts which cost hardly anything. A bottle of good clear water, for example, is always welcome. A nice smooth rock makes a charming paperweight. In fact, one Christ- mas back in my own college days, these are exactly the gifts I gave a beauteous coed named Norma Glebe. I took a rock, a bottle of water, a bit of ribbon, and attached a card with this tender sentiment: Here'8 some water And here'8 a rock. 1 love you, daughter, Around the clock. Norma was so moved, she seized the rock, smashed the bottle, and plunged the jagged edge into my sternum. Here now is a lovely gift for an American History major -a bronze statuette of Millard Fillmore with a clock in the stomach. (Mr. Fillmore, incidentally, was the only American president with a clock in his stomach. James K. Polk had a stem-winder in his head and William Henry Harrison chimed the quarter-hour, but only Mr. Fillmore of all our chief executives had a clock in his stomach. Franklin Pierce had a sweep second hand and Zachary Taylor had 17 jewels and Martin Van Buren ticked but, I repeat, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fillmore alone had a clock in his stomach. Moreover, Mr. Fillmore was the first presi- dent with power steering. No wonder they called him "Old Hickory!") , , But I digress. Returning to Christmas gifts, here s one that's sure to please-a gift certificate from the American Society of Chiropractors. Accompanying each certificate is this fetching little poem: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Joyous sacro-iliac! May your spine forever shine, Blessings on your aching back! May your lumbar ne'er grow number, May your backbone ne'er dislodge, May your caudal never dawdle, Joyeux Noel!

'Southern' Britisher At UC BY JIM ROSENTHAL "I've found nothing to compare with Union's friendliness anywhere in the world," said Phil Brailsford during a recent interview with the CLOCK TOWER. Brailsford should be an expert on the subject since he has lived on four continents: Europe, Asia, Australia and now North America. The 19-year-old freshman chem- istry major was born in Chelmsford, Essex, England. His parents were for a time teachers at Newbold Col- lege where his father headed the science department. He lived for 15 years in England and then lived three years in Aus- tralia where he attended Avondale College and the University of New Soudi Wales. Brailsford's parents now live in Poona, India, where his father teaches at Spicer Me- morial College. Brailsford contrasted the United States and England by saying that English culture seems more firm- ly established than does that of the U.S. Phil says diat England is con- fronted by current problems sim- ilar to some in die U.S. West In- dians entered England by the thou- sands up until a few years ago caus- ing a cultural conflict which the English people haven't yet resolv- ed. Adjusting to the peculiarities of American life is challenging to any foreigner. He says that Americans drive on "the wrong side of the road" and this bothers him a lit- tle. He has had some interesting experiences with his British accent —"Somebody asked me if I was Southern," he said. Phil talked about education in England. In England, "one enters school at about five years of age. He attends two years of primary school followed by four years of junior school. At the end of junior school (at about 11 years of age) the student sits a state examination consisting of two parts: one-half general knowledge and one-half IQ. If he fails the state examina- tions he enters secondary modem school from which he enters one of die trades. However, if he passes the state exams, he enters grammar school from which he is expected to go on to the university." There are only six Sevendi-day Adventist schools in the whole of England: four grade schools, one secondary school and Newbold College. A serious problem exists due to the fact that Newbold is patterned after the American educational system which means diat the Eng- lish government does not accredit it. Phil thinks that "You have the best denominational school system possible," here in the U.S. Phil's main reason for coming to the United States was to take pre- med and later to attend Loma Linda University. His parents want- him to attend an SDA school to complete his education. Adventist schools in England and Australia have very little to offer pre-med students in the way of sciences.

Christmas Trees Lighted By Santa A large Christmas tree near the rock pile was lit 6:30 Tuesday night, Dec. 14, at the annual Christmas tree lighting service. D. J. Fike, instructor in English, gave the inspirational thought for the evening. When Santa, Ray Kelch, appear- ed, Billie Claridge sat on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas. When Santa said the magic word, the huge Christmas tree was lighted. Santa told the students that he was going to Viet Nam to see our service men and he wanted the stu- dents to bring in all their Christ- mas cards and presents for him to take with him. Hot chocolate and donuts were served to all and Christmas music could be heard coming from speak- ers on the ad building. The large tree that was featured at the lighting service is only one of five trees on campus which are decorated this year. There are two large trees and tiiree small ones. This is four more than were dec- orated last year. The decorations and electrical service for the five trees cost about $270. 6 CLOCK TOWER December 15, 1966 CITY BASKETBALL LEAGUE Union's 'Peanuts' Lose Two BY RICK MABASCO Union College has a representa- tive in the city basketball league, Class B-2. The men that comprise the team call themselves "the Pea- nuts." The members are Pat Logan, Jerome Zecb, Larry Unruh, Dan and Virgil Poleschook, Richard "Buzz" Prowant, Bob Blehm, Terry Kreiter, Ed Pafczer and Jim Ander- son. So far this season, the Peanuts have played two games. The first game was against the Tigers. The final score, 41-35, found the Pea- nuts on the short end. The Peanuts decided diat they lost because they had no defense and no rebounding. High scoring honors went to Dan Poleschook who scored 18 points. Two Staff Ladies Win Photo Contest Two Union College staff mem- bers have had their photographic talents displayed in the centennial issue of t h e Nebraska Panorama Engagement Calendar. Miss Ruth Whitfield, director of food sen-ice, has two photographs in the calendar. "The Big Snow," a picture of the 20-inch snow of 1965, and "Jets," a picture of wild geese in migration. "Frost," submitted by Miss Pearl Hall, associate professor of Ro- mance languages, is a photo of Union's Clock Tower seen through the frost-covered trees. Miss Whitfield and Miss Hall both took their pictures "just for fun" and later entered them in a contest sponsored by the Engage- ment Calendar. Miss Whitfield's and Miss Hall's photos were chosen along with a group of 54 entries from all over the state. The second game found the Pea- nuts in no better shape than the first. They played the Bearcats last Monday and the final score was 41- 20. In this game, the Peanuts had no organization, no teamwork and fur- diennore were out-classed. High scoring honors went again to Dan Poleschook widi 11 points. The team finds this class a lit- tle bit tougher than expected and they feel they were placed in the wrong class. But widi a little more practice, die team could win some games, so long as Dan Poleschook never has an off day. Welfare Club Sponsors Christmas For Orphans The newly formed Sociology- Social Welfare Club is sponsoring a Christmas party for the children of Whitehall Children's Home on Dec. 18. According t o Rita Walraven, club president, two club members will be host and hostess for each Whitehall child- Each club member will have an opportunity to work with a child individually. The social director of Whitehall will determine which children will come. Party activities include games, refreshments, a Christmas film and the arrival of Santa Claus as played by Junior Lewis. The club was formed to give so- cial welfare and sociology majors and minors an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of these fields through practical application. Club members are planning to visit the state penitentiary, welfare agencies and state homes for chil- dren. Other club officers are Junior Lewis, vice-president; Barbara Taylor, secretary-treasurer; and Virgil Carner, sponsor. (Photo by Jeff Baker) J. C.
