Vol. XXXII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, January 16, 1964 No. 8 Plymat & Ivy Discuss Alcohol, Society, Man "Tho greatest evil in the United States today is imitation,'' Andrew C. fvv, Ph.D., M.D., told Union College students Thursday and Friday of Temperance Education Week Jan. 6-10. Dr. Ivy went on to say that a great many people drink because they see others doing it. He explod- ed the thcorv some people have that if they control their drinking it isn't wrong, by pointing out, "It may not be wrong for you, but your example may cause someone else to stumble. The social drinker is a common cause of alcoholism." The week of emphasis began with a talk at Monday chapel service by William N. Plymat, president of the Preferred Risk Insurance Com- pany of Des Moines, Iowa. Ho presented the idea that man is able to solve his drinking prob- lems and should do so. "The very first step, of course," said Plymat, "is your decision to solve the prob- lem. . . The final act should be a statement firmly made to yourself: 'I am going to solve this problem.'

Cooper's Jan. 18 Film Talk Features Pan-Am Highway Don Cooper, film lecturer, will present "Sourdoughs to Senoritas," Jan. 18, beginning at 8:15 p.m. in the college auditorium. Cooper's profession, according to Gerry E. Thompson, principal of Helen Hyatt Elementary School, as a lumberjack has taken him to several countries including Argen- tina, Mexico, the Philippines, and the last 14 years he has spent in Alaska. Cooper took up photography as a hobby and was recommended to Jack Douglas, narrator of the tele- vision program "Bold Journey", for his photography work. After showing one of his film lec- tures on Douglas' TV program, Cooper was told by a lecture agent that he should begin a lecture tour. Thompson stated that he has been on the lecture circuit for five years, and this is his fourth appearance on this campus. Prayer Week Theme Christ in the Bible "Show Me My Saviour" is the theme of the student promoted MV Week of Prayer beginning Feb. 2. Ten student speakers from various areas of study will give talks on finding Christ in different books of tho Bible. Tho Week of Prayer series will begin on Sunday night and con- t i n u e through Sabbath morning worship on February 8, including joint worship every night and three separate chapel programs. Gary Bogle, Don Schneider, Mar- vin Ponder, Kent Seltman, Ken Matthews, and Kit Watts each have a New Testament book to expound. Preaching from the Old Testament will be Rodney Burbach, Manuel Vasquez, George Miller, and Tam- my Dietrich. Last year Cooper was scheduled to show "Sourdoughs to Senoritas" but due to a damaged film, Cooper presented the "Inside Passage to tho Aleutians" and scheduled last vear's film lecture for this year. "Sourdoughs to Senoritas" is a story of the Pan American Hiway. It begins from a gold prospect in tho Arctic and continues for 10,000 miles of scenery down the coast ending in the jungles of Guatemala, according to a film preview release by Cooper. Thompson remarked that the fact that Cooper has been here four con- secutive years is an indication of his popularity with his audiences. Open Nights Slated For Dates, Friends Wednesday and Thursday even- ings have been declared "open nights" by a cooperative project of the Collegc Food Service and the Associated Student Body. This eve- ning, Jan. 16, the service will he available for the first time this year. "We have deliberately called this 'open night'," declared ASB presi- dent C>ary Bogle, "To emphasize that tho program is designed lor all students—not just those who date. Anyone may eat at special tables with three of his friends." "With this open night plan, per- sons wishing to sit at the same table should come through the same line," stated Miss Ruth Whitfield, food service director. "They will tell the dining .hostess the size of the group after their meal has been totaled, and she will direct them to a table." See editorial on p. 4 for details. Krebiozen and Ivy Healed Controversy Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, who is linked with Krebiozen— one of the hottest controversies in science today, told his side of the story to Union Col- lege students last Friday, Jan. 10. "The present controversy," stated Ivy, "is about testing and not about the seicntific aspects of the anti- cancer serum." Dr. Ivy is taking his stand against the American Medical Association and American Cancer Society to keep the issue from dy- ing. Ho traced the history of the drug from its beginnings in 1951 and noted that none of the groups would agree to sponsor a fair, unbiased test on the drug's effectiveness on hu- man cancer. "They have nothing to lose," he declared, "but one of mv co-workers, Marko Durovic, has over $1,000,000 invested." "I don't know the reasons that these groups refuse to test Krebio- zen, but the only reason I can pos sibly imagine appears to be that they fear results of the test will be favorable." He explained the logic of this kind of cure by relating that every time the body is injured the cells rapidly multiply to repair the tis- sue. Cancer results when the rapid cell growth is not arrested. "I first got the idea in 1917 that some sub- stance must stop the cell growth," ho said, "and Krebiozen shows some promiso as a retarding agent in our experiments and with our patients Pres. Bieber Meets Leaders in the East UC President D. J. Bieber away from the campus this week attending various meetings and conferences in the south and cast On Monday, Jan. 13, Bieber met first with the board of Southwest- ern Union College, at Keene, Tex. From Dallas he traveled to Wash- ington, D.C. to attend the annual meeting of the Association of Ameri- can Colleges of which UC is a member. Also while there he at- tended a meeting of SDA college administrators held at Columbia Union College. A visit with alumni in the Boston area was last stop Bieber made be- fore returning to the UC campus. tho later part of the week. Thurs- day evening at a special meeting in the college gymnasium, Dr. Ivy spoke concerning acute and chronic alcoholism. He stated that the nature of al- cohol was not that of a food or nu- trient but a drug. Commenting on the size of the problem, Ivy stated, "Ninety-five per cent of the prob- lems in the military services and in American colleges are caused by drinking." Showing the economical effect on Americans, he said that the $11 billion annually used on alcohol were not thus spent, it would save the American tax pay- ers $57 billion. At the Friday chapel in the Col- lege View Church, Dr. Ivy emplia- sized the moral virtue in abstaining from alcohol. He said, "The great- est challenge to educators and re- ligious directors is to show the people how to entertain, relax, and enjoy themselves without the use of alcoholic beverages." Immediately following the Fri- day ohapel Dr. Ivy spoke to bio- logy, chemistry, and physiology stu- dents. He showed intricately how alcohol works chemically, as a doc- tor would see it, on the body, es- pecially as it damages the irreplace- able brain cells. Ivy was heard on the "Hazel Stebbins Radio Show," on Station KFOR in Lincoln, where he further commented on the alcohol problem. Two temperance films were shown at the Tuesday evening joint worship in the collcge gymnasium- Becky," a recent film portraying how non-drinkers are affected by the drinking problem, and "One in 20 Thousand," the film which shows lung cancer as the end re- sult of cigarette smoking. im y:r>Mct W&mm m a ^mmrn cc^mwficw mm m. mi w m mmf •m* m mi, - m to South Hall, W.

Kinney-Lindstrom Gift $10,000 For Rees Hall A $10,000 gift from the Kinney- Lindstrom Foundation set up by one of the 73 students who attend- ed Union College in it's first year of operation in 1891 was announc- ed today by D. J. Bieber, UC pre- sident. The grant will go toward the fi- nancing of the Rees Hall addition whioh is scheduled for occupancy next fall. This gift is part of the $140,000 in special gifts the college is raising for the residence project. The college has now received $85,000 from the estate of Dr. and Mrs. William David Kinney, both UC alumni. The 1960 addition of South Hall was partially built with $75,000 left in the will of the Kinneys. A five member lx>ard adminis- ters the proceeds of the Kinney- Lindstrom Foundation. These funds are awarded to educational, scien- tific, religious, or charitable organ- izations or purposes in behalf of the Kinneys "We greatly appreciate the con- sideration given Union College by the board of the Kinney Founda- tion," said Elder D. W. Holbrook, director of college relations and in charge of fund raising. "This fund will be carefully administered for things that Dr. Kinney deeply believed in." Harvey C. Hartman, UC presi- dent 1950-58, stated in the funeral sermon for Dr. W. D. Kinney on February 28, 1957, "He attended Union for three years. He made good grades. He received an inspir- ation to become a medical doctor, and he attended the University of Illinois where he received his med- ical degree." Dr. Kinny was married to Miss Ida Lindstrom in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1904. He practiced in Da- venport, Gravity, Colfax, and Fort Dodge, Iowa. President Bieber congrotulotes Elder and Mrs. Deming with their going away gift, a Mognovox Stereo. Pastor Deming Accepts Challenge At New Kettering Hospital Church Elder Murray W. Doming, pastor of the College View Church for 13 years, has accepted a call to organ- ize a new church in connection with the Kettering Memorial Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. His official duties will begin with the Hospital's opening (January 15th, 1964.) Deming graduated from Andrews University in 1932. His ministry in- cluded II years in Indiana and 7 in Oklahoma before he came to our college community in 1950 with his wife and seven children. Four daughters have graduated from Un- ion with sons John and Mike well on tho way. Foresight, action, and persever- ance have characterized his en- deavors here. The "2% Plan" for church operation was initiated in 1951 and has since provided for consistent up-keep as well as the purchasing of new equipment. The Helen Hyatt Elementary School was by Kit Watts another BIG project as well as th? Collego View Academy which stu- dents occupied less than two year? ago. But perhaps the purchase and development of a church recreation area, Woodland Acres, has been dearest to his heart in recent months. These indeed are monuments to our pastor. But who will forget the rainy Sabbath mornings when he remind- ed us of the blessings in our Nebras- ka weather; or his enthusiasm for Ingathering and caroling bands; or his commending the choral groups for their participation in the wor- ship services; or his fatherly de- light in the frequent Infant Dedi- cations; or his mellow voice at the vesper hour suggesting quietly, "And now at the close of this Sabbath day, Let us bow our heads and silently pray." Students who have attended Union Collcge and scattered around tho world still think of Elder Dem- ing and Union as synonymous. And we who have been privileged to en- joy his last months of service here wish him well—the man who has been promoter, friend, and shep- herd. ... Editor's Note— This is our thank you, for an issue devoted to one man symbolic of our esteem and appreciation would pass into dust before the broom of pos- terity. Pastor and Mrs. Deming, man in all of his creative art could never capture on a page divine art that you have brought to even the tiniest heart. God speed you to your new challenge. 2 CLOCK TOWER January 16, 1964 LLU Schedules June Groundbreaking For New $15 million Medical (enter LOMA LINDA-Ground will be broken in June for Loma Linda University's new $15-million medi- cal center here. In an announce- ment yesterday University President Godfrey T. Anderson set ground- breaking for June 7—Sunday of commencement weekend at the uni- versity. The new groundbreaking date is accelerated more than three months from the September date for which it had originally been scheduled. Disclosure of the stepped-up con- struction timetable follows an- nouncement last week that the uni- versity has divested itself of the Los Angeles hospital it had owned and operated since 1918. The $7.5-mil- lion White Memorial Hospital and Clinic in East Los Angeles is now owned by the Southern California Rowland at Bio. Work- shop Discusses Science and Religion Dr. Neil W. Rowland, professor of biology at Union College dis- cussed among other things related to science and religion, radiocarbon dating at a workers meeting held in Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 14. He discussed the problems, meth- ods, pitfalls, and reservations con- nected with the interpretations of scientific data and the difference between the general accepted in- terpretation and the interpretation by Seventh-day Adventists. He said that "within limits it is proved accurate and that there is good cor- relation between specimens which have established historical dates and the dates obtained by the ra- diocarbon method as far back as the flood.'' He indicated that since we do not have established historical dates for specimens beyond 6,000 years, it is difficult to accept the dates at- tached to a speciman because there is no way to check the method by historical dates, and because only a small amount of radiocarbon is left within the specimen. This may indicate that the radiocarbon after the flood was greater than before the flood. Mrs. Dunn in N.D. Hints To Home- makers Nutrition and food preparation are the subjects that Mrs. Anne Dunn, professor of home economics, will present at the Institute for Seventh-day Adventist workers in Jamestown, N. D., from Jan. 20-24. Tho medical department of the General Conference recently ap- pointed Mrs. Dunn as Instructor in Home Economics for the area cov- ering the Northern and Central Unions, and is sponsoring her trips which are aimed at Adventist home- makers. Last April Mrs. Dunn went to Casper, Wyo., for a series of lectures similar to those she will present in Jamestown, and she plans for more such programs in the future. Mrs. Dunn said that she has de- voted much time outside of her teaching responsibilities to plan and present these loctures and demon- strations to the various groups. Conference of Seventh-day Advent- ists. An agreement l>etween the uni- versity and the Los Angeles hos- pital's new owners permits educa- tional programs to continue there at least until the new hospital and medical center at Loma Linda can bo completed. Meanwhile the uni- vorsity is free to concentrate .all its resources in development of the facility here, roughly at the mid- point of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Redlands. Architects are rushing completion of plans for the huge medical fa- cility, according to planning com- mittee chairman Robert L. Cone. First in the order of construction for the complex will be a clinical sciences building, with patient-care facilities to follow within a few months thereafter, says Mr. Cone, who is vice president for financial affairs at the university. The nine-story hospital structure will have a normal capacity of about 400 patients, with room for accommodation of up to 500 should it be necessary. Its most striking outward feature will be three large circular towers in which patient rooms are to be arranged around a central nursing station on each floor. When completed the Loma Linda development will reportedly be the only complete university- related medical center between Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles. Architects for the project are Heit- schmidt and Thompson of Los An- geles, with Ellerbe and Co. of St. Paul, Minn., as consultants. UC Couple Injured In Holiday Mishap Two Union College students were injured in an automobile accident on Interstate 80 between Lincoln and Omaha during Christmas va- cation. John Needles, a freshman phys- ical education major, went to sleep at the wheel and his car left the road and went between two guard rails and crashed into a concrete abutment about 35 miles northeast of Lincoln. A passenger, Phyllis Neisner, a sophomore secretarial science ma- jor, suffered compound fractures in both legs, bruised right hand, shoulder, and left elbow, and a cut on the left knee. Needles' left arm was broken. Phyllis' mother, Mrs. Fred Neisner related, "The doctors ex- pected Phyllis to be in the hospital five months here in Lincoln, but now she's going to school in her wheelchair." Main Boiler Down Friday Classes Off A bad batch of oil and some plug- ged controls on the power plant's largast boiler caused tlie heat short- ago that brought chills to many oc- cupants of the Union College cam- pus Thursday and Friday of last week, according to Floyd R. Klei- man, superintendent of the Union College power plant. "We received a bad batch of oil and it plugged up some of the con- trols in the big boiler. We are still working on it and in the meantime we are heating with our two smaller boilers. But they can't carry all the industrial load with the school buildings too," Kleiman said Sun- day. Classes had to be dismissed Fri- day due to lack of heat in the class- rooms. Chapel was held in the Col- lege View Church instead of the Gymnasium.

Tho clinics—five in London, thirteen others throughout the rest of the country—use the "Group Therapy" method successfully ap- plied by Alcoholics Anonymous. Tho goal is to make a smoker more aware of the reasons for his depend- ence on nicotine, thus better able to rid himself of the habit. UC's College Players Tour Southland Open '64 Concert Season In Wichita The College Players started the 1964 College touring season by dip- ping into the warm South-land this past week end. Southwestern Union College and Wichita, Kan. were the first ap- pointments for the College Player.-, this year. Their program, "Moment Musicale," included Mendelssohn", "In Heavenly Love Abiding," Franck's "Panis Angelicus," and Sullivan's "Onward Christian Sol- diers." They were assisted by The TrumPets, Becky Christensen, or- gan, Jerry Lange, piano, Melvin Hill, French horn, Melvin Johnson, viola, and William Rankin, instruc- tor in speech and English.

Mutuku John Mutinga, student from Kenya, Africa who appeared on KUON-TV. KUON Airs Views of African Student Mutuku John Mutinga. senior biology major of Union College, appeared on the "Foreign Ex- change" program presented by KUON-TV last week. Mutuku John joined three foreign students from the University of Nebraska in a panel discussion comparing the different aspects of their native countries, such as so- cial and political customs. Accord- ing to Mutuku John, the purpose of the program was educational with the hope that a better under- standing might develop between tho foreign and American students. Apparing on the program \\ ith Mutuku John who is from Kenva, were students from Trinadad, Zanzabar, and India. KUON-TV televised the thirty minute program Wednesday night, Jan 28. Plans aro also being made for another similar program in February. 'There was so much going on at tho same time you had to pick out what was of particular interest to you," said Ronk. "Perhaps what I enjoyed most was the complete pub- lishers display. When all the books arrive I will receive fifty books free of charge.''

Phone 432-5502 January 16, 1964 CLOCK TOWER 3 Dick's "Tales of the Frontier" a Hash of Stories by Kent Seltman "History dipped in molasses" is tho latest offering from the literary chuck wagon of Dr. Everett Dick, research professor in American his- tory. Talcs of the Frontier, released last Fridav, January 10, by the University' of Nebraska Press, has 80 stories from tho days of Lewis and Clark to the Last Roundup. Re- lated in the frontier idiom, the ac- counts are cream from Dr. Dick's history pitcher. "I didn't try to emphasize the blood and thunder," drawled Dr. Dick, "but the frontier is the fron- tier!" And not very many people know as much about the midwestern fron- tier as Dr. Dick—he's now working on lxiok number 8. In fact his first book, the Sod House Frontier, was listed among the twenty most im- portant books between 1935 and 1955 in American History by the Mississippi Valley Historical Asso- ciation (the foremost society of American history scholars). "Most people think history is dry —they like stories. Well," he took his pen and flipped back his stub- lx>rn gray hair, "if they read Tales, they're sure as shootin' gonna get somo history." This latest Ixiok dips into the 19th century cauldron of Wiscon- sin, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Min- nesota, Indiana, California, and al- most magically comes up with a representative dosage of frontier his- tory and no bad tasting hangover. Dr. Dick, a veteran of almost two thirds of Union College's 72-year history, came to Union just 50 years ago to the college's academy in 1913, then returned as a college freshman in 1919 and graduated in 1924. With the exception of only six years since that time, he has been associated with Union College. In 1941 he pitched literary hay with D. D. Rees to write a History of Union College for the golden an- niversary of the school in 1941. Presently Dr. Dick is working on a history of Union College number two for the 75th year anniversary in 1966. This year Dr. Dick is on a full- time research assignment compiling basic information for a book, which he has plans to have published in Shop Monday and Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m..

"Yes, you're probably awake and in Nebraska," he quizzically quip- ped, "but Pike and some of the oth- er explorers crossed the Missouri River and didn't meet the chamber of commerce. Their reports went east: no crops will grow, limited grazing bv nomads might subsist, but the land won't support people. So tho early maps showed the area between the Missouri River and the lloekies as the Great American Des- ert." His current research stabs for the solutions to the problem of no trees and less rain. What did the Eastern pioneers do for rail fences without trees for rails—they invented barbed wire. What alxiut fires without wood—they burned buffalo chips. "A study of the changes in farm- ing practices and techniques and in farmers' attitudes occasioned by the plains environment by a scholar of Professor Dick's maturity and abili- ty will be a real addition to the his- ory of our state," stated Dr. W. D. A.eschbacher, who until recently was director of the Nebraska State His- torical Society. Why did he write The Sod House Frontier? "I had a brand new doctorate degree," explained Dr. Dick, "I felt that I should do some- thing for my field, so I began to write.'" That first book, The Sod House Frontier, is a social history of the immediate area—the infor- mation was right at hand. The book was royally received with a full front page spread on the September 1937 New York Times book review section. Favorable re- views were also written in the New York Herald Tribune, Ladies Home Journal, Yale Review, and the Sat- urday Review of Literature. "That book was a success because it was tho first thing written on that field —thcro was a vacuum, and the Sod House Frontier filled it." Both the Kan.sas and Nebraska State Histor- ical Societies have listed it among tho ten most important books on their state history. Dr. Dick has served on the grad- uate faculties of the University of California at Berkeley, the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, the University of Missouri and Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg.

Monday, Jan. 6, saw the season begin with Dean Simpson picking up where he left off last year, as the defending scoring champion tallied 35 points in leading his team to a 97-67 romp over Paul Gnadt's team. Simpson was deadly from out- side and unstoppable underneath as he led a fast break attack that put Simpson's starting five all in double figures. Steve Ericson's 19 points took defensive pressure off of Simpson for the winners while Gnadt scored 24 and Ed Rosaasen 18 points for the losers. Tho best rebounding team to tako tho floor this year and one with a good balanced attack is cap- tained by Wayne Widicker, and it was the latter quality that enabled Widicker's crew to pull a 74-69 victory goal out of the fire against Red Stevens' round-ballers. Stevens took an early lead behind the crowd- pleasing shooting of Terry Dietrich coupled with an occasional basket by Stevens; but two can't beat five, and slowly but surely Widicker's overall balance came through.

But Johnson's boys took advantage of Bartel's poor substi- tuting and the team's poor passing and with Bob Smith and Ed Storey each hitting for 15 points, upset Bartel 53-47. Only 5 players scored for Bartel, but 11 played as Bartel's starting five would have the lead at a crucial time, but then the sub's couldn't hold on while the starters rested. Johnson added 12 points for his team while Seegcr's 15, Bartel's 13 and Fulbright's 10 points paced tho victims. Tho score was 55-53, Klein over Achord, with 1 second left and Achord's ball out of Winds at mid- court. Tho ball was passed in to Captain Kiff and his desperation jump shot found the mark and sent tho contest into overtime. But you just knew that shot was going to go in, for it was just another exciting part of the sensational game. But not to bo denied victory because tho game was one. second too long, Gaylord Klein continued to thrill tho audience with his spectacular hook shots and although a second ovcrtimo was needed, Klein's team won 62-60. Klein scored 37 points for the night and Achord tallied 29 in a losing, but spirited effort. An exciting first round it was, and there's lots more to come.

It's midnight children dear Duck! Here comes another year!" —Ogden Nash Now that 1963 is just a memory, if you're the sentimental type,or his- tory, if you're intellectual (the pa- per has something for everyone) it's time for all thinking people to ral- ly around the resolution table, take a deep breath and dive in. Personally, I rather hesitate when resolution making time comes be- cause although they're easy to make (I have enough faults to support a book of resolutions), I always feel so abominably guilty when I break one. I go around for weeks peering anxiously over my shoulder at some imagined ax-bearing executioner with orders to decapitate me for be- ing so weak and when anyone savs. "I wonder who could have done so and so." I'm ready to blurt out the whole sordid truth— (I do so and so's very well). Then as I go around looking guilty as the proverbial canary- who swallowed a cat (or is it the other way) folks begin looking at m,' with side-long glances and frowns and knowing looks and then some - ono says, "Suppose she's ok," and someone else says, "Well??'' and on and on. So you see, one mea^h- resolution on my part and I set off a whole series of chain reactions that I'd rather forget.

Beggs Dr. Clifton The administration has recognized the need for improv- ing these services. There had been much loud talk concerned with student's being scholarly in chapel rather than else- where. Plans had even been proposed to demand the ces- sation of carrying books to the services. This was dropped because of its obvious impractibility, and the problem was attacked from an improved angle. This is primarily a result of the actions of the president who has directed his corp of subordinates through this new frontier. From where we sit in chapel and elsewhere it looks as if success is on the horizon and coming up fast. Yeo! It's the latest bestseller.

ASB Scores With Open Nite The ASB had scored again—no, not a spectacular hook shot by a 4' 5" guard shooting through the legs of a 6' 12" Public School Prayer by Richard Booker This issue of religion in public schools has been appearing quite frequently in the national headlines. The Associated Press listed the subject as one of the ten major news items of 1963. This topic promises to be a continuing source of debate in this election year, 1964. So controversial is this matter that people who have little con- tact with a United States constitution in the past, are consulting tho document as to the legality of the latest Supreme Court ruling, barring religious activities and teaching in public schools. In the 1962 "New York Prayer Case" the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional a state prescribed prayer that was being used for morning devotion. Then in the 1963 "Murray-Schempp Case," the court decided against all teaching and sectarian religious practices in public schools. The basis for Ixith of these rulings, is the first amendment, which provides for separation of church and state. The court considered any mixture of religion into a tax supported insti- tution a direct violation of the constitution. Many irritated and emotional people feel that the court is trying to exclude every phase of Christianity from the sohool life. However it must be noted that the court did not rule against the teaching about religion, but prohibited the instruction of a particular religious doctrine. Basically both of these rulings are in the realm of the American tradition of complete separation of ohurch and state. Morality and integrity should certainly be taught. But the public school should not become involved in religious teaching and Bible interpretation. Whose religion would they teach anyway? Parents and the church are responsible for the religious instruction of their children. This duty should not be pushed off on the state Public schools are free, in every sense of the word. They arc tor the children of every tax paying citizen. Protestants, Jews Cath- olics, Moslem and Atheist too, should be able to send their children there w.thout the child's home religious beliefs being impaired bv alien ideas. This is the true freedom of religion-to believe in ^ god, with variation if one chooses, or bebeve in no type of god at all Our system of government provides for those who are not satis- fied with the state system of education. They can establish private and church schools where their own particular philosophy of life and religion may be freely taught. A complete secular system of public education would seem cruel and a complete step away from Cod and Christianity. Yet the principle of religious freedom calls for just this. And if the'state .s going to be completely fair and stand by the constitution, then it must .safeguard the education rights of all the various re igious groups, the skeptics and atheist as well.

Sincerely, Neither will it be an infallible Sydney Allen method. It is only a first step and it can produce only a probable, never a certain, conclusion. The point in checking into the likes and dislikes of a creator is to find out if he is unworthy of our attention. We will have to be criti- cal of all creators. There are some, however, whose likes and dislikes are such that we need not spend any time on them at all. 1. Let me give some examples of the first and worst class of crea- tors. Rock 'N Roll music is written by people of this kind. Mickev Spillane is this sort of an author. I believe that a Christian may con- demn all works of this type because they are bad both morally and aes- thetically. 2. A further class of creators whose works differ from the above only in being better aesthetically would include such composers as Wagner and such authors as Hem- ingway. Wagner liked illicit sex. He wrote an idyll for chamber or- chestra on the occasion of the birth of his own lxistard son to the wife of Hans von Bulow, a friend of lii.s. Wagner liked the pagan gods. His overwhelmingly powerful operas magnify the exploits of these de- monic idols. His opera Parsifal is often performed around Easter, but its content has much more in com- mon with tho pessimistic paganism of Schopenhauer than it does with the Gospel resurrection story. Likewise, Hemingway is said to have believed that life is purpose- less— that is, that it simply amounts to "nada," the Spanish word for "nothing." Many of Hemingway's lxioks express a strong preference for those things which are con- demned in Scripture. Are we to say that no Christian ought ever to listen to Wagner or read Hemingway? I do not so hold, as long as one's attitude is mature- ly critical. I would certainly not recommend these works, however. Furthermore, I would recommend caution to anyone who for some reason or other found it necessary to use such works. 3. There arc other works of art which may not bo positively com- mendable from a biblical point of view but wliioh may be made use of by Christians because of their aesthetio excellence. I would in- clude in this class the music of Mo- zart (some of which is sublimely Christian, but some of which cele- brates the exploits of Don Juan) and the literary works of Words- worth (some of which teaohes pantheism). 4. Another class of art works which may be used profitably by some Christians are those works which "ring true to life" to a re- markable extent even though they may not be explicitly Christian. At- tention to these works might be justified on the basis of (a) aes- thetic excellence, (b) fidelity to the truth in describing both good and evil aspects of human exis- tence. I would include Beethoven's music and the books of Shakes- peare, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky in this category. 5. Christians may recommend wholeheartedly that class of art works which are explicitly Christian And which are so excellent aesthet- ically that they do not lose their power after one has been repeated- ly exposed to them. The music of naoh, Brahms, and much of Han del belongs to this class. The books ot such men as Milton, Bunyan. Browning, and Dante also belong in this class, I think. Resolution Gossip (Continued from page 3, col. 61 However, I've been listening carefully as I've circulated around campus and I've HEARD some resolutions, some pretty wild reso- lutions and once one of the prime objectives of the CT is to keep it's readers informed, I herewith list a few with a free literary comment. (You lucky reader you.) I heard one of the girls in the courts the other day resolve not to complain about the long, cold walk up to the Ad Building every a.m. for her 7:20 class-She is dropping it and moving into the dorm. Several girls have determined they will not 'date around" during these 366 days. They stubbornly in- sist they are settling down. I'd laugh, except I cannot take niv eyes off those watches on their right arms. One village student I heard about has resolved to spend more time eating in the cafeteria. He wants to get next to the masses. The residents of South Hall also make resolutions. One I heard about was, they resolve to be more polite and chivalrous in '64. They have determined to do only the polite things, for instance—when they fall on the slippery sidewalk anytime this year, they will stubbornly re- fuse to budge until some girl helps them up. So, you are making resolutions and I must confess I have made one too. I have resolved in the year 1961 to absolutely . . .excuse me, but 1 have got to be going— that guy with the ax is back there again and I don' like the look in his eye.
