UC Library Acquires New Video Technology Union College has long been known as a leader in technology among Adventist and other colleges. Union leads the way with computer terminals in each dorm room and well-equipped computer labs. The Union College Library was a leader in having on-line catalogs available in the library and in students rooms. Recently, Union College took another step forward by obtaining video disc systems and an extensive video disc library. Library-goers may now check-out these video discs for personal use. This step up in technology was due to a generous gift to Union College by John and Susan Croker, owners of Laser Disc Enterprises near Atlanta, Georgia. Union College's library is one of the first to make video discs available. Video discs are digital information carriers that are shaped like a record but look like compact discs. They have the digital sound of compact discs and video resolution that out-classes video tape. The discs are reasonably priced, from $20 to $120, and have several clear advantages over conventional video tape. The clearest advantage is the exceptional clarity of the picture as compared to video tape. For instance, a single frame can be frozen without any loss of picture clarity as each frame is individually recorded on the disc. Also the disc format makes finding spe- cific sections of the program easy to ac- cess, as the discs have "chapters" or frames you can jump directly to without fast forwarding or rewinding, as in com- pact discs. Each disc also has a clear plastic coating to keep the disc from getting dust or other particles from getting on the disc and lowering clarity. And since the "sty- lus' ' is a laser, nothing actually touches the disc, making video discs virtually wear- free. DeForest Nesmith, associate librar- ian, says, "The equipment is superior in almost every way compared to video tapes." The only disadvantage of the disc system is the fact that a user cannot record on a video disc, but in the library setting, this is a small consideration. The Union College library currently has 230 video discs, including National Geographic Specials, recordings of sym- phonies and concertos by the world's fin- est performers, NOVA specials, Cousteau programs, and several movie classics, such as Gone with the Wind, Romeo and Juliet, and Casablanca. The library has a list of all discs available. For those who do not own video disc players, the college now owns three. They can be found in the library, the Dick Building and the music department in Engel Hall. Thediscscanbe checked out just like books, and use of the players may be arranged. The video format can be used in classrooms as an effective tool. For example, in the music depart- ment, to teach piano students a technique, a frame can be stopped and played in slow motion to show exactly how a certain portion of the selection is to be played. Also, the video disc format can be used for more that just motion picture-type uses. For example, 6,000 works of art from The Louvre have been transferred onto laser disc. With the push of the button, any one of the works can be brought to the screen in full color and sharp clarity. The library has already had biology classes and chil- dren from Kiddie Kollege view the discs. The library will continue to expand its viewing library and make this new tech- nology available to teachers, students, and the community. by Timm Chapman and Valerie Wool/ord Faculty and Staff Vote Cut in Pay The faculty and staff of Union College are personally committed to helping Union balance its budget. By a significant mar- gin, the faculty and staff voted during Assembly on February 21 to "roll back their wages equal to the cost of living for the fiscal year '90-'91," said Dr. Don Purlsey, Vice President of Finance. The pay-cut, which was suggested by a faculty member, will reduce next year's budget by approximately $144,000. How- ever, this money-saving measure does not automatically go into effect. The Finance Committee must review the proposal and give its stamp of approval. Then the com- mittee sends its recommendation on to the Union College Board members for final approval. Myrtle Bowleg, Assistant Dean of Women, said that she is' 'willing to tighten my personal budget and make that sacrifice in order to help the school." UC faculty and staff continue to exem- plify their spirit of caring and committment to ensure Union's future success. by Sharon Bartter Editorial Sharon Batter Editor For being the shortest month of the year, February is packed with a lot of honor.

Now February 11,1990, will be remembered as the day a people's hero was set free. Free at last. Nelson Mandela, after twenty-seven years, was finally released from prison. This man of quiet strength maintained his dignity and remained a symbol of hope for the South African majority throughout his 10,000 days in prison. In May of 1988,1 went to a graduation party with my parents for a high school graduate with whom I was not acquainted. In fact, I did not know anyone at the party. It was a big family bash at a big family mansion with a lot of big family presents. I watched quietly these people who had so much privilege. They had worked hard for their monetary success. But there was something disturbing about it. As we were about to leave, my parents were introduced to a close friend of the graduate's parents. These people were from South Africa. They were white. Since my mother was born and raised in Africa, they instantly had a topic of con- versation. I listened with one ear to what they were saying while observing what was going on with the party. I suddenly heard the word apartheid mentioned. That brought my attention back to the nearby conversation. In his British accent this South African businessman was talking with obvious distaste for the economic sanctions the U.S. had placed against South Africa. They were affecting his business dealings. And he went on. He remarked that the blacks had no place in a govern- ment. They were an uneducated people. They had no qualifications to become involved with the South African govern- ment. They were holding the country back in every possible economic way. And he said apartheid was only a creation of the media. With his every sentence, I had to struggle to keep my jaw from hitting the floor. But then the big bomb was dropped. I looked over at my parents, and being the conservative British they are, they were nodding their heads with affirmation at his every conjecture. A repulsive, sickening feeling flooded my stomach. Icouldhardly believe what I was hearing, let alone what I now saw. I wanted to get out of that party. I felt trapped in a dark stairwell. But more so, I wanted to tell this man what I thought of him, of his ideas, of his disregard for others. I didn't say a word. As politely as I could, I suggested to my parents that we had to be somewhere very soon, and they got the hint. As soon as we left the front doors and were out of hearing distance, I let it all out. I really let my parents have it. I asked them how they could stand there and agree with someone whose ideas were so fundamentally anti- Christian. They didn't have an answer for me—something they admitted only after trying to fill me with excuses. But do you know what bothered me more than what that man said, what has stayed with me more than his words? It was what I didn't do. I didn't say anything. I didn't agree; I didn't disagree. I simply didn't do anything. That inaction filled in me a memory that to this day is insistent. It is a reminder to never again just stand there and listen. Never again can I just let someone like that get away with thinking it's okay to treat people that way, espe- cially just to make a dollar. In that sense, I am grateful for that experience. It taught me a valuable lesson. As I think back on it, I can't help but wish I had it to live over again and tell what was on my mind at the moment. Most likely I'll not have that chance. But I can be sure not to let it happen again. Nelson Mandela would have been dip- lomatic. He would have spoken up. He would not have remained silent. I am again reminded of the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: "The ultimate tragedy is not the brutality of the bad people but the silence of the good people." It may be minor, but I feel a tragic sense because of my silence. The pages of history have been filled with some incredible accounts this month. Who would have guessed that Nelson Mandela would have been freed? And who would have believed that the Berlin Wall would have fallen just a few months prior? Perhaps the only believable fact in all of this is the power of people to unite and bring change. We can collectively right the wrongs and make a difference. We can help to erase those painful memories of the last century, of slavery, of war. We can help to write new memories of no more apartheid, or freedom for all, of peace on earth. 2 - The Clocktower February 28,1990 Opinions Worship Behavior: Disappointing Dear readers: One of the sad things I find at Union and at other church schools is the way people talk and pay no attention during religious services. I don't let it bother me or take offense because it would keep me from getting something out of the service. Telling these people to shut up would only make them mad. Jesus would never tell someone that his behavior was offen- sive. During chapel on Tuesday (the 20th), I was distracted by people who were talking. They were all in a buzz and turning their necks and pointing their fingers. They all had an amused look on their faces—the kind of look one gets when he hears juicy gossip. As it turned out, everyone was all in a buzz because this friend of mine was lying down on the pew with his feet up on his girlfriend'slap. The people who found this so amusing made sure that everyone knew about it. If these people were listening to the speaker, they never would have noticed this guy lying down. If they were con- cerned that other people were listening, they wouldn't have made sure that every- one knew. Someone lying down in church doesn't distract me; people talking does. There was a time in my life when I didn't want anything to do with God or His church. One big reason for feeling this way was all the "concerned" people who felt they had to tell me that my behavior was not good. I think that God can save atheists when they honestly believe what they do and show love to others. I don't think people should lie down in church, but I also don't think they should talk either. The people talking in church took the time to write my friend a snotty note telling him what he was doing was wrong. This really makes me mad because I think these people are being hypocrites because they don't have any good excuses for their behavior. They are supposed to be Christians. My friend is an atheist. And as long as these "Christians" keep helping him out, he just might stay one. When or if any of these people read this, they'll probably say, "If he doesn't believe in God, why is he here?" Well, these people are not very Christ-like, and they are here. Thanks for being such a good witness to people. Disappointed, Eric Mechalke "It's a fax from your dog, Mr. Dansworth. It looks like your cat." February 28,1990 The Clocktower -3 Campus Ministries Beware of Yosemite Bears Dear friends at Union, I have really enjoyed hearing form all of you—keep those letters coming! I've also enjoyed receiving The Clocktower and learning about the happenings at home. Before I came I had in mind the Califor- nia stereotypes made popular by the Beach Boys: everyone spending a lot of time on the beach, surfin' and gettin' tan, Tan, TAN. On the flip side, I had also heard that California is super fast-paced. I quickly discovered that neither of these assump- tions is true of the general populace. People may be fast-paced in the cities, but not where I live. Camp Wawona is located within Yosemite National Park. Quite a few people told me this place would be extremely wonderful and I would not be working—I would be taking a paid vacation. Let me assure you—Craig Carr, Stephanie Huset, and John Larson—I DO work. Most weeks I work anywhere from 60 to 80-90 hours. Although the job does seem endless at times, I have time occasionally to see the sites of Yosemite. It is highly visited with over three million people planning their summer trips to include this acclaimed area. Yosemite is celebrating its 100th birthday this year and has several pro- grams and activities planned, including a visit by President Bush on October 1. The Wawona area is home to many birds and animals. I see Steller's Jays quite often, as well as crows, woodpeckers, and sometimes spotted mule deer and black bear. Bears used to come quite often and raid the garbage cans. Then they started breaking into people's cars to get food. Oneofthelocals, who knows better than to leave food in his car, had a bear break the driver's window of his car. He swears the only thing in his car was his dirty laundry. A different bear has even learned how to open a camper shell and drop the tailgate without leaving a scratch on the pick-up (however, he has not learned how to close it when he leaves). Even the deer can be dangerous around here as they will attack a person who has been feeding them when the food is gone. Three cats come and visit me every evening (Peaches, Creampuff, and Pee Wee). Peaches and Creampuff are of a breed called flamepoint—a cross between a siamese and an orange-striped tabby. They look siamese, except that their markings are a peachy-orange color rather than the traditional brown. Pee Wee is harder to describe, but he almost looks as though he is a lion in miniature. Something we don't have very much of here is wind. I can actually arrive at my destination look the same as I did when I departed, instead of looking as though I went through Chicago en route to church. Although we didn't feel the earthquake here at camp, we still talk about it occa- sionally. I was able to visit the area of the quake in the middle of December. It was amazing how much of the damage was still visible. People had plastic coverings where their chimneys used to be. Roads were cracked and broken. The kitchen at the campgrounds in Soquel, CA, had suffered quite a bit of damage. One of the grills had comeoff its foundation and flipped upside- down onto the floor. The big mixer had moved four or five inches. That may not sound like much, but I'm talking about a machine so heavy that four men have trouble moving it. With the earthquake, people fighting in church, and all these people to feed, life stays interesting, but I'm sure it doesn't compare to sitting in classes, taking notes, cramming for that big test tomorrow, etc. Hopefully, all of you Denver people have just recovered enough from the Super Bowl to be able to function properly.

In my hand is a radio-controlled mike. Around my neck, a necklace dangles with the proud VW in- scription boldly circled in a silver band. Stanley, Dave, and Dondi are speaking with a Brooklyn-like inflection. I notice that they all have gold teeth, and Daveeven has a diamond implanted in one ivory. I also notice Stanley and Don are drinking from White Castle cups. My clothes are most fly. I am now aware of a roaring audience of about 100 people, and I peek through the curtains to see Penny Roberts reading a lengthy poem. She exits, and Dr. Fitts approaches the stage with his guitar and promptly pumps out the acoustic version of Steppenwolfs "Bom To Be Wild." The crowd goes wild with excitement. Next, Kevin Devnich, Brian Horman, and Derin Scott lift the entire gym—audience included—and proceed to spin it on their fingers like a basketball. Then Dave Johnson and Gary Bohlen- der play Nintendo hockey (as only they can), and the audience again is amazed. Surely, talent is not at its peak, I think, but then Timm Chapman eats fire without burning his hair while Gabrielle swallows swords. This earns a standing ovation. Then, unexpectedly, Floyd Orr tight- ropes the entire length of the gym, high above the audience without a net. Next Rich Carlson does his comedy act, and while he laughs at his Bronco jokes, the crowd breaks out into intermission. Dave turns to me and with his mouth half-full of a White Castle tuna burger (39 cents) he says, "Our rap really isn't that bad, Peat, but these acts are hard to fol- low." I reluctantly agree as I watch in shock as Tommy Leatherman sings Kenny Rogers "Lady" to a now-leaping audience. With this, Stanley, Dondi, Dave, and I are just about to give up, but we realize it's worth the college try. l CfN SEE W< UTU£ TMffiN CATS ARE 90 MUCH MORE POPULAR. (Reader: Now make that movie dream sound when characters are coming out of a dream and the camera gets all out of focus.) I awake. I'm on Hagele's desk. He's been telling me about the ASB talent show tryouts on March 19th and how a Def Jam Rap in the show on the 24th could win us some much-needed cash. Amazingly, I had dozed off while he was talking.

Also in the clean shaven category is Morre, though he is trying hard to remedy this. "I'm grasping hard for the nigged look," he told Clocktower reporters. While speaking of grasping for some- thing to do, Troy Wood's weekend activi- ties come to mind. Many Unionites have just returned from the 3rd annual snow weekend. It seems the Hoehn woman has a slight backache after this event, as upwards of 40 Union stu- dents were seen riding on Mary Jane's Backside. * Gary S. was definitely out-of- control. He was clocked at 35 in a 30 zone. He was quoted as saying, "I am out of control, Dave, waaaaaay out."

There's something for every sports fan here, so, you guessed it: just do it—read on! Congratulations are in order for our ladies' Witness Team members. Their last game of the season was a victorious one. They beat Friends College 40-10. Ask Mark Perlberg and Gary Schlisner if they recaptured their carpet bowling crown this last Sunday the 25th. This fast paced sport brought a lot of excitement to the fans. The Minnesota Timberwolves went on a team-record four-game winning streak a little more than a week ago. Now they are only twenty-three and a half games out of first place and sixteen games back from the Nuggets. Mark Fenton is sponsoring a hall vs. hall bench pressing competition to be held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 4th. Get five guys together from your hall and go pump some iron. The Union College Witnessing Warri- ors finished their season last Thursday night at Wesleyan. Even though they lost, they played respectably. Their final stand- ing is eleven and eleven. This season is the best the team has ever had. Sorry, Kansas City fans, but Bo does not know negotiations. Baseball is still at a standstill because of the lockout and now no one may ever know who is better this year—the Royals or the Athletics (although this writer would have to go with the Royals). Peat wanted me to say something about the probable all-time record set by his A League team. Way back on January 25, his team scored eighty-six points on their way to beat Jeff Deming's team. Jeffs team scored sixty-six to make a combined total of one hundred and fifty-two points. I guess one could say they were scoring machines. Dave Johnson's team proved that they deserved to be number one by beating their closest opponents, the faculty. Barring any upsets, Dave's team should remain on top of the B League standings. If this holds true, this will be Dave's second champion- ship team this year. Way to go, Dave! It looks like the Minnesota North Stars may move to Oakland. Oh, well, they are not that good anyway. Is it possible that Minnesota may be singing the Blues? The race for the A League champion- ship is heating up. Two teams are tied for first, and two are one game behind first with eight intramural games remaining. Fred Beranek's team looks to be the early favorite. Check out these remaining weeks and see who has the most poise down the stretch. Congratulations go to Stan Hoehn for scoring his first three-pointer during a regular BWT game against Wesleyan. Don't forget that after Spring Break hockey season begins. Go home, buy a stick, and participate in Union's most nonviolent sport. It may just be rumor but I heard Buster Douglas' next opponent is Murray Cox. The fight is to be held in two weeks somewhere in Lincoln. Ask Murray for more information. The Freshmen and Sophomores play for the right to have the most talented basketball class on the last day ofFebruary (no, it's not the 29th). The Freshman are looking smooth. In his Junior Class basketball debut, Greg Rosenthal shot one hundred percent from the three point line. His shot from the comer looked better than Larry Bird's. The girl's intramural season has been marred by ties due to double forfeits. Come on, girls, help your teams out by showing up and participating in the pro- gram for which you signed up. After all, that's why the captains picked you. Missouri and Kansas are now the undis- puted number one and number two after last week's upset of Georgetown and Duke. See you in the final four (although we expect to see Kansas jump to the number one position). Enjoy the week in sports, my fellow fans! Calendar 8- The Clocktower February 28,1990
