SCHOOL PICNIC Set for May 7 "Would it not be well for us to observe holidays unto God, when we could revive in our minds the memory of His dealing with us?" Thus read the first few lines of Counsels to Teachers, page 343. Too often as thoughts of a picnx come along, one begins to plan ways , of gratifying self. When on the contrary we should so order the day as to make it an occasion of honor- ing and praising our Heavenly Father. And so to this end your committee has tried to plan the school picnic which will be held May 7 at Pioneers Park. Buses will be arranged for trans- ' portation and we will take our de- parture from the campus as soon after 9:00 A. M. as is possible. Our first stop this year will be at the Pine Bowl. There we will open the day's activities by praising our Creator and in giving Him rec- ognition as the Giver of every good o thing. We are planning this activ- ity for 9:30. Do be there to join us in a program of praise and thanksgiving. Following this will be some recre- ational activities of a physical na- ture, which will be described in more detail later. Dinner will be served at 12:30. If present plans carry through the band will play for us for forty-five minutes after dinner, and this concert will be in the Pine Bowl. For those who desire, nature hikes are planned after the concert and we urge as many as will to give the next hour and a half to a def- inite consideration of God's great handiwork. Competent leaders are being arranged for these groups. The next two hours after the hikes will be given over to games and events of general interest and then we will go to the Pine Bowl for the last half hour of the day to give tribute to One who ever cares for us and provides our every need. The buses will arrive for the re- turn to the campus about 6:30 P. M. Supper will be served upon our re- turn. Come to the picnic and make it a "holiday unto God." IRC Enjoys Breakfast 5:00 A. M., Sunday morning, April 27, scrambled eggs with po- tatoes, scrumptious pancakes and syrup and a wonderful time all went together to make the Inter- national Relations Club early morn- ing breakfast a great success. Natural Science Club Plans Trip to Ponca Park Extensive plans are being made this spring by the members of the Natural Science Club for their an- nual spring outing. They are going to Ponca State Park, located ap- proximately one hundred and fifty miles north of Lincoln in Dixon county. The park is in the Ponca Indian country on the high bluffs overlooking the "Old Muddy." The naturalists will leave at one o'clock Friday afternoon. May 2, and will not return until Sunday noon, May 4. Attractions for the club consists of ten miles of nature trails and footpaths, flowers In profusion, trees of many varieties, and a vast variety of fossils. Deer, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, racoons opos- sums, and all the other animals na- tive to Nebraska can be seen there. It is the ultimate aim of the club that its members find a closer walk with God by diligently studying Him in the natural realm. Business Club Tour The Business Club left by bus today, on a day-long tour of Omaha industries. The group braved the elements to see how the Stock Ex- change, Omar Bakery, and other in- dustries in the flood-ridden city operate. This is the second tour the club has taken this year, with the first lasting only a half day. Credit for the success of the club and these tours goes to the club president, Bunyan Lambeth, who has worked untiringly in the interest of the club.

When we read the lives of men who have been eminent O £ for their piety, we often regard their experiences and attain- o o ments as far beyond our reach. But this is not the case.

The week-end rally was under the sponsorship of the College View M. V. Society. The occasion was high-lighted with a thirty-minute radio broadcast over station KF0~R in Lincoln. Upon considering a question which would be best suited for this column and in order to get the stu- dents' reactions, this question was chosen : "What do the words 'Youth for Youth' mean or what did they mean to you in connection with the youth rally?" Virginia Roberts: Young people working together to overcome tem- tation. Rose Evelyn Drake : Youth work- ing together for youth to help one another to the kingdom. Jerry McGill: There is no other power to win a young person to Christ that is so effective as the in- fluence for good of another young person. Gaylord Wheeler: Every youth should put forth every effort to bring more souls into the truth. Loren Dickinson: I think it means everybody for his neighbor. Ferman Mock. Youth who are privileged with this truth working for those youth who are not it the truth. Millie Mattison: A youth that knows this truth working for other youth so that they can learn to know and love it as he does. Bob Cooper: Youth working for other youth by sharing their faith. Calvin Mahlo: Youth should help each other overcome tempta- tions. Jackie Phillips: Adventist youth helping wordly youth. tf-iam Seniai to. So you want to be a college fresh- man. Here are a few words to the wise. From senior to freshman, from brilliant to "green," will prove to be quite a drop. And how does it feel to be a college freshman? Well, the beginning seems to be the most difficult part of any task. For example, think of our own United States. The going isn't so bad any more, but back at the be- ginning of the establishment of our country . . . Well, I won't go into a historical lecture at this point; just a little reminder to those concerned that they'd better study that Amer- ican History assignment. Of course, I'll receive a commission from Mr. Cleveland for this. Anyway, the beginning is diffi- cult. But I've always insisted that if a freshman can hold his temper, maintain his state of mind, keep his equilibrium, and have physical endurance to struggle through reg- istration week, then he has the "stick-to-it-iveness" to make a suc- cess of that first year. Now be- fore you break an arm patting your- self on the back, may I remind you that there are three other registra- tion weeks in which you must par- ticipate before that all important event, graduation. You'll want to know the answer to many questions. Here's one you'll aslc: "How can I ever learn to find my way around the cam- pus?" Don't think you're the first one to wonder. After all, there is somewhat of a resemblance be- tween the appearance of the Music Hall and that of the Library. But the freshman fellow who gives North Hall as his return address just can't really be confused as to where he is residing, or can he? After a good meal in the cafe- teria you'll wonder "Plow do I get out of here?" That question will not have originated with you, either. Just always remember, many fresh- men have gone before. You go in one door and out another. T was a bit confused the first time myself. Don't get discouraged though, the procedure will become very simple after a time. Even the old rock pile may cause you a bit of bewilderment. Once a freshman girl asked me, "Well, where did all those rocks in the middle of the campus come from?" I told her that they had been a class gift; and, trying diligently to be very informative, 1 endeavored to explain the annual procedure of the senior class of leaving some remem- brance with the old Alma Mater. "What's the purpose of the rocks?" she asked. I told her how invalu- able that old rock pile is to Union College. You've heard of marriages going on the rocks? Well, just think of all the marriages which had, not their ending, but their be- ginning on the rocks of the rock pile of Union College. I wonder how many proposals have been made there. You'll be fascinated by "Ye Ol' Clock Tower." It keeps perfect time. There's no doubt about it. The clock has four faces. None of them ever tell the same time. Con- sequently, it has four chances to be right; hence, the perfect time of day is always shown on the clock somewhere. I know I haven't answered all your questions. Let me leave you just one thought. Experience is not merely the best teacher; it's the only teacher. You get the idea don't you? Just come to Union and find out for yourself how it feels to be a "green college freshie." Acad-o-gram * NEWS NOTE Miss Shirley McLaughlin, class of '49, spent the week of April 6 to 13 at the college visiting her broth- ers, Bill and Laurie, and friends.

EDITORIAL Being seniors in the academy doesn't mean that we have come to the end of learning, even though we have completed in a successful manner our 16 units of schoolwork. When graduation is over, we immediately become freshmen, again, in a group of those who are more highly edu- cated than ourselves. We al- ways have new battles to win and more victories to gain that age and maturity will help us to overcome. In another space of years we will gain a college edu- cation which should give us an even better asDect of the life we have to live. Education is a work of a lifetime. We will never reach that attainment which each and every person desires until we re- ceive that graduation certificate from Him who is the great and masterful teacher, "creator of every good and perfect gift." Christ, our example, is our qreat teacher, and each day we should strive to pass the examinations He gives us in our daily livina. Martha Budd News Third prize and honorable men- tion awards were received by Kaye Swena and DeWavne Rhodes in a recent Instructor Pen League con- test. The Silver Chordettes and the Brass Sextet represented U.C.A. at the Musical Festival held on the Enterprise campus, April 10-13. The Silver Chordettes provided special music for the church service, April 19. Junior-Senior Banquet The annual junior-senior banquet was held April 23 at the Lincoln Hotel. The program was based on the "Gay '90's." Following the dinner a radio skit was given by Mary Ellen Feikes. She took the part of Mr. Thomas Heatter and his secretary, Miss Smith. During the radio program a vocal solo by Donna Chambers, musical reading by Margiann Mun- son, poem by Mary Ann Horton, and a piano duet played by Doris Stern and Pat Drake entitled, "Hol- iday for Strings," were given. The evening was continued with a song by the Junior Trio and a vocal duet by Donna Chambers and DeWayne Rhodes. Preceding the program the two class presidents, DeWayne Rhodes and Calvin Krueger, spoke to the banqueters. SENIORS Three years ago Darlene Herr came to spend the rest of her acad- emy days at U. C.

Upon inquiring his course you would find that he is majoring in biology. Between classes you'd more than likely see Dick Putnam standing in the halls talking to a special girl. In the furniture factory busily pounding nails, running machines, or the like are Jim Hagerman, Joe Schnell, Lamoine Pearson, ancl Jerry McGill. Jim and Jerry are pre- paring for the ministry and Joe is majoring in education, while La- moine and Dick plan to be veterin- aries. Setting up type, folding papers, or doing any of the many other necessary duties of a busy press are Shirley Cleveland, Edgar Browning, and Ralph Williams. Shirley soon plans to bc in the clin- ical division of her nurses course; Edgar has his heart in the minis- terial work; meanwhile Ralph says he'll stay by printing for a pro- fession until he finishes his lab technicians course. Going to the noisest building on the campus, the music hall, you'll more than likely meet Don Mc- Pherson busily practicing or just gabbing. Of course, Don plans to be either a music teacher or an evangelist. Paul Schwab spends his time taking care of his niece and nephew for he lives off the campus with his sister. Duane ITuey and his wife live down the street a little way from the school. Duane is majorina in business. On your visit at the library you'll no doubt see Laurene Stacey carrying a pile of books. Laurene is taking nursing ancl enjoys it very much. Sunnydale Academy Senior Class Officers Platte Valley Academy, Shelton, Nebraska.

The river was rising at the rate of .6 foot per hour in the early part of the evening. By midnight the rate of rise was a fool an hour. At ten o'clock a call went out over the radio for 1,000 workers. By 11:30 approximately fifty Union College students were on their way to the flood-stricken community. They traveled in al- most anything ranging from a '35 Plymouth to a '51 Ford. Upon ar- rival at their destination, following a 70-mile trip, the boys were directed to a parking spot by an acting policeman. After hustling down to the City Hall, they signed up for work groups, picked up a few doughnuts, cookies, sandwiches, and milk, then headed for the railroad tracks at the heels of their foreman. When they arrived at the dikes after a mile and a half ride on a hand car, they were greeted by the flickering light and pungent odor of many carbide lights placed at intervals along the dike and on the barges moored on its bank. Hundreds of men were passing sandbags along a line of men that stretched for blocks from the barge down a plant over the locks and along the top of the levee. The men at the end of the line were shouting for more sand- bags. The fresh work detail was quickly placed at the head of the sweating line and the sandbags really began to move along. Soon the men farther down were frequently heard uttering a different cry—"Hold it!" The sandbags were about 10 by 18 inches in size and weighed from 30 io 50 pounds. Some were scrawny and puny; others were solid, sturdy, and heavy, and still others, and the hardest to handle, were the long ones with earth packed in the ends but with little in the middle. The bags were labeled verbally by the men when they passed along as lead (heavy), gold (heavier), light, and worm or Dachshund (long ones packed on the ends and loose in the middle). Soon the men were moved on down the dike to unload a barge further upstream when the line got too far from the first barge to be practical. By this time many other Union College students had joined the sandbag crew. Some were on one barge and others on another upstream about 100 feet. Many were the remarks, wise- cracks, and friendly banter flung back and forth from one barge to the other by the boys from Peanut Hill. Army and civilian engineers patrolled the levees continually measuring the rise of the water and looking for low places and seepage. Army ducks cruised over the swollen waters like water- bugs on the mill-pond, carrying carbide lamps here and there and performing various other tasks essential io the effort to keep ihe water from reaching ihe power plant and all ihe land which would be inundated should a break in the dike occur. By dawn the water had reached its crest and receded. The crisis had come and gone. The dikes had held. Man had won again in his never-ending battle against ihe elements. SOUTH HALL Ray Herber has learned to make the most of his afflictions. When he came down with the measles last Monday, he sent his roommate J. W. Ilaffner (junior class treasurer) to get his money back for the banquet he would miss Thursday night. V A dreadful rumor has spread through South Hall. The front porch is to be torn down to make way for work on the new dorm. This means the daily watching of the parade of couples and girls from North Hall will have to be carried on from less advantageous points. V During the recent flood on the Missouri River, Union College's men did their share of sand bag- ging. This column wants to pay tribute to Ray Bailey, E. B. Blair, and the others who worked without pay. This should be a valuable les- son to the rest of us. (Moral: Al- ways get in the pay line.) V Bill Bell was watching the men removing the sidewalk south of the dorm the other clay. He turned to the other onlookers and said. "I've heard about it a lot, but this is the first time I've actually seen them roll up the sidewalks and go home." V Bill McCormick: "I had a letter from home and they had to shoot our dog." Llovd Boujour: "Was he mad?" Bill McCormick: "Well, lie wasn't exactly pleased about it." V Joe Robinson cheered everyone bv his presence here this past week end—especially his officers at Fcrl Riley. RavitUf Refxaite/L Every Tuesday evening I wonder to myself, "What enjoyment do people get out of just watching?" There they are, 25 or 30 people, just sitting and watching while others of us have all the fun skat- ing. Did I say we'have all the fun? Well, not quite. Some people think that a few changes in the skating procedure would add to the enjoy- ment. The following are sugges- tions : Margaret Newell: "We should have skating Thursday night, too." Althea Rea: "Get some new music." Owen Berthelson: "They should have less 'all-slcate' and more vari- ety in their organized skates." Anonymous: "Moonlight and flashlight skates would be appre- ciated." Betty Germain: "I wish we could skate on Thursday. I wish we would have more bell skates and when we do have hell skates, I wish they would time them so we get around to everyone. I wish when they have skates the students would all take part." Russell I-Iieb: "I wish they would have less 'all-skate.' It would help a lot if some of the bashful boys would ask some of Ihe girls to skate when they have couple skates." Virginia Christianson : "I would rather they would have less 'all- skate' and more organized skates like 'grand inarch,' etc. Ardell Rouse: "I wish they'd put a little rosin on the floor." Dick Putnam: "T would like to have more organized skates and not have (hern drawn out so long." Roy Jones: "I'm satisfied!" (T guess he meant with skating.) Calvin Mahlo: "I wish they would get some new music." Kenneth Mayes: "I think their music is getting old. T think the organization is all right."

NORTH HALL f f The monitor isn't seeing < Say, pardon me just a minute, before you go on to the next page, I'd like to tell you a little experi- ence I had last month. I received a letter from some select source, what was it now? Oh, yes, selec- tive service. They were inviting me to a little party that was being held in Omaha at the Fort Omaha army base. It was one of those all- men affairs. It was the craziest thing; they called it pre-induction physical. They invited quite a few of us from Lincoln. I think they asked too many because they had to charter a bus. Chartering a bus means they ordered a special one just for us. Oh, you knew that, sorry! We were a little late get- ting to the party, but they didn't seem to mind too much because they weren't ready for us, anyway. First they asked us into a cozy little room that would make a nine by twelve rug uncomfortable. I would say they had about 100 to 150 of them there, (legs, that is). It was about an eight-foot ceiling, and the room was filled with ap- proximately seven-foot twelve inch- es of smoke. The first game we played was just more or less to check who came and who didn't. One man sat in front of us and called out our names, and we were supposed to answer with army, navy, or marines, whichever we liked the best. If only I had thought fast enough to say civilian. The second game was a paper and pencil one, and some of the questions were simple. The lieuten- ant in charge warned us that no one would fail the test. For our next entertainment we all lined up, and then one at a time we held a card over one eye and looked down a long corridor to a little sign full of letters, but it didn't say anything. We had to read it. Now, that I think of it, I never have seen a sign that would say anything. After finishing this, someone barked, "Strip to the waist for your picture." Now this was just going too far. Whoever heard of strip- ping to the waist to have a picture taken ? X-ray it was. Well, we did and then somebody got into my shirt by mistake, and it was crowd- ed with both of us in there. Be- fore I could get my sleeve but- toned, I had to take my shirt off again. This time everybody had fun except we who had been in- vited. One man would push a stick in your mouth as if he were looking for a choplet. Another told us to follow his finger with our eyes, and then he stepped behind the curtain for a few minutes. The last thing to happen was a man took a big long needle with a supply tank on the end and stuck it in our arms. He only needed about a half a dozen drops, but I dare say he took at least a pint. Tn exchange, he gave us a little ball of cotton to hold on our arms. We had a lunch which consisted of a large quantity of proteins and vitamins thoroughly drowned in hot grease. For dessert, we had a cher- ry surrounded by gelatin, and this was called fruit jello. We were all tired but happy (?') to know we had passed our physical. by Vern Thompson The monitor isn't seeing double when she sees four heads protrud- ing from under the covers when she checks at night. It is just the sen- ior guests from the various acade- mies who are sharing a few days of college life with North Hall girls. Some of the girls have pushed their beds together and made them up as one huge bed. It looks a bit odd, but it makes much more room to sleep four - in - a - bed. However there are only a few who "waste their time sleeping." There is too much to be said and too little time to say it. Somehow they manage to get a little shut-eye before the sun peeps over the horizon. At any rate, we are glad to make new friend- ships and welcome these guests to return to spend a few semesters that will develop into a few years— about four to be exact. • The other day Vera Bergman got a letter from her mother who stat- ed she was inclosing a dollar to help Vera buy a few necessities. Vera looked in vain to find the dollar and at last came to the conclusion that either her mother forgot to enclose it or it had had the income tax taken out first. Measles have made a few spots around North Hall lately. Those who saw red spots on their faces as they looked into the mirror were Helen Stewart, Lois Thulin, La Verna Hopkins, and Bergitta Peter- sen. They have vanished now (the red spots, that is) and it is hoped no one will become afflicted with this pesky illness anymore—at least until after the visitors leave. Saturday night Miss Rees ven- tured into the parlor to fix a few of the drapes that had come un- fastened at the top. She was very surprised to find things weren't as they should be. Investigation re- vealed the two embarrassed girls were hiding behind the drapes. It seems Helen Stewart was lonesome and had sneaked away from the in- firmary to join her roommate, Ann Tolliver, in a midnight snack! When Miss Rees saw Helen the next morning, she remarked, ' I hope you didn't give those drape- any measles!" Some of the former students of North Hall paid Union College a week-end visit to enjoy the "Youth for Youth" Rally. Hulda Roehl, Dorothy Stacy, Margaret Peckham, and Gladys Dessenko, alumni of Union, were some of the guests. Pat Rushold, a Union College student from the School of Nurs- ing in Colorado, visited friends in the dormitory. Howard Runck was also a guest of Margie Naustdahl for the week end. Howard is also from the clinical division. What a fool does in the end, the wise man does in the beginning. Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn. Gymnasium Softball season is here and games are underway. Maybe that should have been "under water." At any rate six teams have registered at the gymnasium, and the plan is to play two games every Tuesday eve- ning between six and seven. The diamonds at the northeast and southwest corners of '49ers Field will be in use at the same time. Rosters filed at the gym are as follows: Southwesterners', Sonny Kinder, Don Allen, Marvin Stephens, L. Pearson, Jim Hottal, Don Cantrell, A1 Tucker, Harold Collum, Charles Moore, Charles Simmons, A. Curry. Hornets, Dick Dale, Adrian Zyt- koskce, Louis Sterns, Bill Temple- ton, Kenny Mayes, Bob McDaniels, Duane Shock, Ralph Watts, Myron Voegele, Ralph Boyd, Duane Beck- strom, Dale Chaffee, Art Wannen- burg. Team 2, Bob Miller, Bill Cavin, Harold Washington, Dick Roder- ick, Melvin Robinson, Dean John- son, Loren Dickinson, Crawford Pierce, Dean Erickson. Team 4, Charlie Moore, Gerald Schwarz, Cyril Miller, Fred Lor- enz, Ferman Mock, Gaylord Wheel- er, Ardell Rouse, Norman Mock, John Griffits. Merle Rouse, Jerry Coyle. Team 5, Mac McCormick, Mer- lyn Mead, Derryl Ogden, Floyd Swanson, Don Dick, Vernon Thompson, Richard Scott, Merlin Reader, Bob Loonier. JWuiic M£ Appearing in recital last night was Gwynne Lingenfelter, soprano. Gwynne is a senior music major who has appeared on many of our school programs and had the so- prano lead in the Messiah. She in- cluded in her program: Danza, Danza, Durante ; Devotion, Strauss ; Cupid's Captive. La Forge; and The Night Has a Thousand Eyes. Rachmaninoff; as well as other numbers from the classical and con- temporary composers, assisting her was Clyde Dick with his baritone horn. Putting an appreciative ear to the door of the Music Hall, we can hear new long playing records revolving in a new 3-speed Webster phono- graph. The music department re- cently received 18 new l.p. records, and everyone is reallv giving them the "rucli." Future recitals: May 1, Reba Oksenholdt and Daina Ramey. May 4, Bill and Doralee Murphy. J Seen in the Music Hall this week: Bunny Phillips with light blue paint all over her "lily-whites" ... the janitors have been over ambitious with the paint brushes lately . . . Bergitta Petersen with "an eruptive contagious febrile dis- ease" better known on this campus as measles ... Dr. Hare explaining the physics of music to the Theory 11 class. ButU Richard Wayne Jr. arrived at the home of Dick and Naomi Wihnot on April 1. He weighed S lb. and 7 oz. RaMlUuujA. The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. Expect nothing from him who promises a great deal. He who knows himself best, es- teems himself least. God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change- courage to change things I can— and wisdom to know the difference.
