THE
Clocktower
Chinese Acrobats To Perform This Sunday
Chinese Golden Dragon Acro­
bats and Magicians of Taipei will 
appear Sunday, October 6 at 8pm
by Sheridan Adams
in the Union College Auditorium 
sponsored by the Family Enter­
tainment Series. The group of 
twenty-two members represent 
2,000 years of culture in the arts of 
variety entertainment. They will 
perform juggling, kung-fu, gym­
nastics, acrobatics, balancing, ma­
gic and more. They will ride eight 
people on one bicycle, climb up 
and down a ladder with a person 
balanced on one hand on top of the 
head, pick up a jar using the sheer 
suction within the hand, and have 
blocks smashed on the back while 
a sharp blade is against the neck.
The show is directed and pro­
duced by Danny Chang. 
His
father is the director of the nation­
al Fu-Hsin School, which was 
founded by the Taiwan govern­
ment to instruct in ancient oriental 
arts. The Chang family has been 
considered the best in China. The 
group is made up of mostly his 
family and relatives, but it in­
cludes friends. Many of the troop 
have been featured in various 
tours before, but not together in a 
group. This year they started their 
first tour with their own show.
Joe Parmele said “The show 
moves real fast,” even though the 
show has about seventeen differ­
ent acts. ' Entertainment Series 
Season tickets are still available 
for $8. Admission is $6 at the door 
for just this show. The doors open 
at 7:15pm and the show starts at 
8pm.
Force Student Center
Volunteers
“They’re selected people. Peo­
ple who can interact and enjoy 
being with students,” says Dean
by Jeanne Assam
Gary Wisbey. 
He’s speaking of 
the volunteer workers selected for 
doing hostess work in the new 
student center. According to Wis­
bey, the volunteers are community 
people and church members, some 
are alumni, and some* are ASB 
officers. Their duties are to make 
people feel welcome, answer any 
questions they can, and basically 
just make sure that the student 
center is a clean, comfortable 
place.
“I’d also like to encourage the 
students not to give the hostess’s 
any static. If there is a program on 
the TV that is not appropriate, 
then the channel will be chan­
ged,” said Wisbey. 
Wisbey
A Positive
stresses that the hostesses are 
very important to the student cen­
ter, and without them, it would be 
impossible to leave it open in the 
earlier part of the day. “I’m very 
eager to have these folks feel wel­
come because they really are. 
They’re important. 
Without the 
volunteers we would only be able 
to open in the evenings. 
We’re 
not really in the position to' leave 
the student center open without 
supervision and have all that valu­
able equipment in there,” he said. 
With the supervision of the hostes­
ses, there is no need to worry.
Though the hostesses may be 
there to give the student center a 
more pleasant atmosphere, they 
are also there to be a friend to 
those who ask. “We try to stress 
to the hostesses tolerance to the 
students and also confidentiality. 
We want their experiences to
be positive,” said Wisbey.
Betty Pauley, a recently retired 
assistant principal at the Pound 
Public Junior High School may be 
one of those hostesses students 
will want to become acquainted 
with. “I don’t know a lot of the 
students yet, but I hope to as time 
goes on. I have a Peanut Gallery, 
and if a student comes in regular­
ly, I like to look and see who 
he/she is. I’m very comfortable 
around young people and I enjoy 
working with them,” said Pauley.
Miss Pauley explains that al­
though she and several of her 
friends, who are also hostesses, 
are not paid, it is something that 
they feel is worth their time. 
“We’re not paid, but they really 
do several nice things for us. Most 
of the people who are volunteers 
are older, their kids are gone, etc. 
They’re the ones who have the
time to come and do a little bit of 
volunteer work. It’s fun and we 
enjoy it.”
Both Pauley and Wisbey are 
anxious for more students to come 
in and use the student center. 
“It’s a very positive thing for both 
the college and the church,” said 
Wisbey. “The volunteer program 
may help church members feel 
more at ease with the college stu­
dents and vice versa. Basically, we 
just hope to add special touches to 
the campus for students.”

You Might As Well Do It Now... And Right
I got back to my room the other 
day 
and 
my 
roommate 
said, 
“Tom, I’m going to get you to 
the weight room....” I told him I 
doubt it. 
We bantered back and 
forth and it led to the place where 1 
in my mind had totally refused to 
become involved with the weight 
room no matter how much good 
that could be accomplished there. 
(And believe me. there is a lot 
of good that 
could 
be 
accom­
plished there.)
1 recall my childhood scenes 
where 1 was placed before the din­
ner table with supper in front of 
me and there was among 
other 
foods, vegetables. Oh great, not 
those slimmy things again. Mom?! 
Can 1 please just throw them on 
the floor or stick them under the 
table? 
Huh, please?! And 1 was 
serious, too.

have the urge to tell Dr. Leon- 
hardt that I think Minnesota has 
just been attacked by evil hordes 
of Iowans and that I need to 
defend Minnesota’s honor, but I 
don’t think that would have done 
too much. 
I wanted like the 
dickens to get out of there, but 1 
was caught as sure as if 1 had spit 
into th’e wind. 
It was a messy 
situation.
The 
overriding theme that I 
wish to bring out is that there are 
always some things that we really 
do not want to do and nothing, 
and 1 mean nothing, short of 
nuclear war will prod us off our 
fannies to do them. 
But some­
times they have' to 
get 
done. 
Like taking that Calculus II test 
or eating my (ugh!) vegetables. 
Without 
them, 
I 
can’t gfow, 
mentally or physically. Even the 
weight room idea. 
It may sound 
like it’s for the birds, but if 1 don’t
Crossroads:
do anything about it, I will end up 
looking like a 450 pound turkey 
and I can’t handle that.
Doing 
things that you don’t 
want to do, but have to in order to 
survive? What a theme if I were a 
theology student. But I’m not, so 
relax. 1 only have a few things to 
offer. 
Like this: You may not 
want to perform a task, but if you 
have to, you might as well do it 
with all your might to get it done; 
and second, if you don’t like the 
task at hand, you might as well do 
it right and do it right the 
first 
time.
1 can’t stand up and point to 
myself as an example, too many 
of you would get too good of a 
laugh. 
But I will point to Christ 
and say why not? 
Why can’t we 
strive to do our best even in the 
things that we don’t want to do? I 
can’t think of a reason, 
and 
believe you me, I’ve tried for
over 20 years on this one. 
Of 
course it takes less effort and 
guts and ingenuity to do less. 
Rewards of doing everything to 
the best of our ability are a better 
self-image, a willingness to help 
others achieve to the best of their 
abilities and a sense of accom­
plishment that cannot come to us 
other than through the persever­
ance 
of 
a 
sometimes
uncooperative taskr-
Maybe wc should stop thinking 
about how wc are going to be run 
down, hurt and eventually defeat­
ed by that which we fear. Could 
we 
not 
start to remember the 
little “Bible gems” that exhort us 
to: first, acknowledge God; seek 
His will; lean upon His wisdom 
and understanding; and finally 
trust in Him with all our might. 
I 
am not hammering at anyone in 
particular more than me. 
I dare 
you to try it. Just for a bit.

Give As God Has Given To Us
“Give as God has prospered you!” 
As often as 1 hear that statement

depression. How can 1 cultivate a 
generous spirit based on a com­
parison of my insignificant gifts 
and a God, that owns everything 
and gives me everything? 
As 1 
look at the magnificant splendor 
and majesty of God, when 1 see 
His love and kindness and pa­
tience with sinful human beings 
like myself, how can I ever pre­
sume that I can give as God has 
given to me? And yet, embod! 
with this concept is the basic prin­
ciple necessary for a complete 
understanding and giving. • Since 
God have everything for me I 
ought to withhold nothing from 
Him.
The problem is that 1 have been 
so saturated with worldly philoso­
phy, which is exactly the opposite 
of Godly philosophy, that I seem­
ingly cannot, or will not, take that 
essential step of giving everything 
I am or have to God.
Now I have nothing. 
My clo­
thes, my food, my car, my life, my 
money, 
everything belongs 
to 
God. 
He may choose to return
some of those items in the form of 
blessings. If He does I can have a 
new gratefulness for what He has 
bestowed to me. If He does not 
give something back but chooses 
rather to turn that something over 
to someone else by impressing my 
spirit of that person’s need, then 1 
am not yielding anything that be­
longs to me but only dispensing 
God’s belongings to those He 
shows me need help.
If 1 choose to hoard what God 
owns, and refuse the privilege of 
using what He owns to bring hap­
piness to others, then 1 forfeit the 
opportunity of experiencing the 
kind of joy that God intends for 
each of us to have.
Scripture plainly reveals in 1 
Timothy 5:8 that a conviction such 
as the one explained here would 
not necessitate the giving of every 
tangible possession but rather the 
development of a new philosophy 
which would asknowledge the ow­
nership of everything I am, or 
have, as God’s. Once 1 transfer 
this ownership of time, posses­
sions, money, and self to God and 
evaluate every expenditure on the 
basis of how it will benefit the 
work or reputation of God either in 
my life or in the lives of those He 
has called me to serve, then I will 
have begun to grasp the true prin­
ciple 
not 
of 
giving 
but 
of 
administrating all that God owns.

Student Center and Financial Plans Reviewed
Phase one of the four phase 
program to build up the Student 
Center complex has been complet-
by Kevin Miller
ed This phase included putting in 
a wall to separate the center from 
NAYM, opening one atrium win­
dow, putting in the fire escape, 
moving the deli to its present loca­
tion, and carpeting the TV rooms 
and lounge.
Phase two, which will be the 
moving of the NAYM offices and 
warehouse and the construction of 
:he Student Center Auditorium, 
ivill begin late this semester.
The last two phases, over the 
aext 4-6 years, will update the air- 
:onditioning and heating system 
ind will move all student services, 
student Health, TLC, and Campus 
Ministry to their new locations.
The estimated cost for this four 
shase plan, as outlined by ASB 
President 
Rand 
Strobel, 
is 
>500,000. 
That figure breaks
down to about $25 a square foot. 
There is good news though. To 
date the cost is due to the large 
amount of volunteer labor that has
T
been donated to the project.
All of the $500,000 cost cannot 
be absorbed by volunteer labor* 
how- ever. There are several legal 
restrictions on how a non-profit 
organization can raise money. So 
with the fund drives that the 
school is already involved with, 
there is really only one avenue that 
the ASB can take to raise money— 
a 
student 
surcharge. 
The 
surcharge would not take effect 
until next year, but at this time, it 
is the first plan in mind.
When interviewed about how 
this plan would be accepted, Stro­
bel responsed that, “No matter 
how hard you try, you can’t please 
everyone.”
When the process of the sur­
charge is broken down you find, 
according to Strobel, that, “The 
students are really only paying for
a small part of the whole,” the 
part of which the students can use 
at the time.
As the project won’t be complet­
ed until as late as 1991, Strobel 
was questioned about complaints 
of paying for a building that most 
students would never see the ben­
efits of. Strobel said, “There are 
always some who aren’t going to 
get to use it (the Student Center). 
I, myself, won’t get to use it. But 
at this point, there is really no 
other way that the ASB can raise 
the money.”
The students now are enjoying 
tennis courts and a skating rink 
that past students paid for by sur­
charge. 
The college will be 
helping offset the costs. At pre­
sent, the ASB has. budgeted 
approximately $10,000 to the pro­
ject, and moving of the Student 
services will be funded completely 
by the school.
What are some of the advantag­
es of the new ASB Student
Center? First, there is more than 
double the space that the old Cen­
ter had. The proposed auditorium 
will hold- 500 to 600 students and 
will be equipped to stage plays 
and other events that can be 
opened to the public. The money 
from ticket sales of these produc­
tions would serve to help pay for 
-the cost of the Center. There is a 
larger game room with several 
games now and more coming. 
There are two TV’s to satisfy the 
demands of the sports fans and the 
rerun lovers both.
There is a much larger lounge 
with computer terminals for the 
hacks and table games for the 
more traditional. There are still 
the lounge chairs, magazines, and 
soft music for those that like to sit 
and contemplate the stars. .
The Student Body is becoming 
quite a nice complex. If you have a 
skill and some spare time, an offer 
of some help would probably be 
appreciated.

Student Missions:
A Letter From Bob Nobuhara In Palau
Dear Students of Union College: 
Thank you very much for your 
letter of encouragement. 
It was
by Bob Nobuhara
really good to hear from you all!! I 
want to especially thank you for 
your pryers. The work in Palau is 
in need of all your prayers for the 
Holy Spirit to work on these stu­
dents and their families. We have 
about 70 students of which most 
come from backgrounds of differ­
ent religions. Some students don’t 
even know their father or mother. 
Teaching these kids is quite the 
challenge because they are not 
disciplined too well. 
It takes a 
total trust in God to.have Him 
work through us to reach these 
students , of Palau Mission Aca­
demy. Don’t stop your prayers!!!! 
Ask God to dump a ton of patience 
on me, OK? Thanx!
What is Palau like? _ Grab the 
nearest chair and sit down first. 
The Archapelagos of Palau are 
composed of more than 200 islands 
of which only a few are inhabited. 
From Kay Angle in the north to 
islands near New Guinea the 
islands of Palau are-{post magnifi­
cent!!! There is blue sky when it 
is not raining and the vegetation is 
thick and a brilliant green. From 
the King ’Fisher to the large par­
rots. 
the 
birdlife 
is 
beyond
description. Palau has 4 times the 
amount of marine life than the 
whole Carribean. The visibility is 
just great! About 60-100 ft. hori­
zontal and about 200-300 ft. down. 
Have I done any dives yet? You 
bet your life! Three to 4 dives so 
far. We dove off the outer reef, a 
place called the Blue Hole. It was 
a reef wall with tons of marine life 
within its beautiful array. 
Then 
we had lunch at a rock island with 
swaying coconut trees and a sandy 
white beach. Our next dive for the 
day took us 70 ft. down, into the 
channel to an old Japanese wreck. 
It was a battleship used during the 
war. What a sight it was with all 
of the soft coral and hard coral 
growing all over it. No sharks yet. 
We do have them though as well 
as the ferrocious crochodilles (salt 
water).
And to answer Andy’s question 
about the World War II relecks? 
Well, Ron and 1 for our afternoon 
off, headed up island for the day. 
We arc on the largest island of 
Palau called Babel Thuob. 
We 
went near a village called Nga- 
tpang. We drove until we came to 
a river which we could not cross by 
the jeep so Ron and I set out by 
foot with mashette in hand. We 
hiked way into the thick jungle and 
carrte upon some ridges where we 
found fox holes where the Japan­
ese had been. Then we saw an old 
motorcycle with a sort of sidecar 
on it, an old officers car by the 
jungle road, and a tank.
We then came upon a clearing 
which had a large hill in the mid­
dle of it. Ron and I hiked to the top 
and began exploring the area. We 
found the concrete foundation of 
an officers building in the middle 
which upon it we found old Japan­
ese coins. These coins dated way 
back before the war, 1918 or so. It 
was something else. Now Andy, I 
am afraid that if we mail you the 
tank, it would cost an arm and a 
leg and then you would be unable 
to attend Union: 
Therefore we 
came to the conclusion that if you 
come to Palau as an SM you could 
see it all for yourself.
Presently I am teaching 4 class­
es: Biology, Algebra I, Christian 
Living and Creative Writing this 
semester and Basic Speech next 
semester. 
It is a lot of work. 
Seems funny to be on the other 
side of the desk. Now I can sym­
pathize with the professors at 
Union College! I love it though, 
the students are great as well. I 
also am a farm supervisor where 
about 13 students and I work to­
gether to raise crops in the fields 
by the river. During our 15 minute 
break, we all jump in the river to 
cool off. The Palauan way is with
West Is New GM at KUCV
“What you need is someone 
specifically skilled in the arts, with 
a music background!” 
This is
by Nichole Parks
what a professional broadcaster 
stated when he came to look over 
the open position of manager at 
KUCV. The college then took a 
close look at their staff and chose 
Dr. Melvin West, a man with fine 
musical abilities that they felt 
would be a remarkable asset to 
Lincoln’s Fine Arts Radio station.
Dr. West came to Union College 
in February of 1981. Shortly after 
he arrived, he found himself in the 
position of Development director. 
This was a new ball game for 
Page 4
West, but he showed an outstand­
ing knack for this type of work. 
But teaching was still something 
that he enjoyed doing, and this is 
when the class “Arts and Ideas’’ 
joined our curriculum. “Many col­
lege students have been sheltered 
from the arts and I think this class 
gives them the opportunity to see 
culture and what it’s all about,” 
commented West.
Although most of his career has 
been centered around teaching in 
our Seventh-day Adventist colle­
ges, Dr. West is a professional 
organist. Deciding that develop­
ment was not as satisfying to him 
as music. West became the Minis­
ter of Music at the Westminster 
Presbyterian church, until this last 
'§ 11'
August when he accepted the 
managerial work at KUCV. '
“An exact job description would 
be hard to give, 
but brain­
storming is something I do a lot,” 
remarked West. Right now, Dr. 
West is establishing himself on 
the new job site, but already there 
have been a few changes. One of 
these is in the programming de­
partment. Beverly Johnson Wong 
is in charge of this area at the 
station, but in working with Dr. 
West, a decision has been made 
that announcers will now program 
their own music selections to be 
played when they are on air. Dr. 
West states, “This will reflect 
more of the announcer’s own per­
sonality when they are doing their
all your clothes on, and the Yapes' 
way is with most of your clothe 
off. We tend to stick with th< 
Palauan customs here.
I am also in charge of the ham 
bell choir, and I sponsor the Stu 
dent Association, and above all 
am the assistant boy’s dean. So t« 
keep out of trouble, I believe that 
have plenty to do. Thank you fo 
your love and encouragement.
A special greeting to all the Ir 
ternational Club members as we 
as the officers for this new yeai 
God bless you.
Love, Bob Nob
P.S. Connie, Deb is doing ju? 
fine. I talked with her this pa? 
Friday.
part on the air.”
There are some goals that Dr. 
West is hoping to achieve while 
employed at KUCV, both for Uni 
on College and for the community 
of Lincoln. “I would hope to be 
able to provide a culturally enrich 
ing experience for the student? 
here. As for the community, the> 
are used to this enrichment, and 1 
want to continue it for them.” 
With his variety of talents ane 
experiences, Dr. West will certain­
ly be a valuable asset to KUCV.
Football:
Peterson Defeats Roeske;
Doug Peterson’s squad defeat­
ed Reiner Roeske to grab a share 
of the three-way tie for first place 
in B-League football.
Peterson led 20-18 at the half, 
but Roeske marched right down 
field on their first possession of 
the second half. 
The 
drive 
culminated in a short pass to the 
left flat from 
Dr. 
Pursley 
to 
Roeske who ran it in for the TD.
The extra-point also went Pursley 
to Roeske, giving Roeske a 25-20 
lead. Doug Peterson led his team 
right back, though. 
Peterson, 
playing QB, took the option and 
raced 18 yards for the TD, making 
a super fake at the 3 yard line. 
The extra-point went Peterson to 
Steve Cleveland over the middle, 
giving the lead back to Petersoq, 
27-75.

to have received good goal play all 
season. They have given up only 
one goal in three games. Chavez 
stopped C/D’s best scoring chance 
when he made the save on Sieg 
Roeske’s penalty shot.
Pete Rozelle wants parity in the 
NFL, well we’ve got it here at UC 
in B-League flagball. 
Three 
teams are tied for first place (a tie 
counts as 1/2 a win and 1/2 a 
loss). 
Look for Roeske’s team to 
really bear down now, 
though, 
with the final 1/3 of the season left 
to be played....Kerr’s team con­
tinues to roll along; they’re the 
only team in A-League with more 
points scored than given up. 
Have the men in yellow ever been 
behind at the half? Have they ever
been behind at any time all sea­
son?...If Leonard Sabin could ever 
get all of his players at one game, 
for the entire game, watch out. 
Look at 
that 
team on paper; 
they’ve got all the ingrediants for 
a winner, it’s just been a case of 
not being able to field their team 
in full strength....Any early picks 
for the league of team MVPs yet?.. 
..It’s too bad that accurate records 
aren’t being kept on scoring. Rus­
sell Carleton and Gareth Burgess 
must have close to 10 TDs by now.
Kerr Alone As Unbeaten
On the ensuing kick-off, one of 
the most bizarre plays 
of the 
season occurred. Roeske (yellow) 
took the kick-off deep in their own 
zone and began to run it back. 
Yellow attempted a lateral which 
Doug 
Peterson intercepted and 
ran in for the TD. The extra-point 
went to Rick Earles and left the 
score 34-25 in Peterson’s favor.
Dr. Pursley kept his poise and 
brought yellow charging down the
field on their next possession. He 
completed several 
passes 
and 
used the clock well, finally hitting 
the always reliable Eldon Cline for 
a 25 yard TD strike. 
The extra­
point failed and the score was 
Peterson 34, Roeske 31. Peterson 
just ran the clock on their next 
possession, giving Roeske his 
first loss of the season, making 
Kerr’s team in A-League the only 
unbeaten flagball team.

Dr. Freidline’s Kidney Transplant a Total Success
He was very weak and had diffi­
culty 
teaching. 
His 
classes 
seemed to last for five hours,
by Jeanne Assam
rather than one. Dr. Freidline had 
failing kidneys.
“I hurt, my hemoglobin was ex­
tremely low, and 1 had very little 
energy,” 
explained Dr. Charles 
Freidline, professor of chemistry. 
"I was tired and I didn’t or 
couldn’t teach well. I got through 
my claskcs, but I’d often use my 
preparation time to rest rather 
than prepare for my other classes.
For three painfully long years 
Freidline suffered with failing kid­
neys. 
Several tests proved ■ his 
illness, and he was started on di­
alysis, which removes liquid and 
chemicals that the kidneys would 
normally remove if they were pre­
sent 
and 
functioning. 
Since 
January. 1984, Freidline has been 
on dialysis up to his recent opera­
tion on August 30. 
Freidline 
continued to define his illness by 
explaining that he had been born 
with a genetically-caused abnor­
mality that eventually led to the 
failure of his kidneys. ”1 have a 
syndrome called Nail Patella Syn­
drome, 
which 
isL a 
genetic 
abnormality-really quite crippling. 
Most of these problems were cor­
rected by surgery when I was a 
child. 
The syndrome is now 
known to lead to kidney failure in 
about 25 percent of the cases,” 
said Freidline.
This being such a discouraging 
ordeal since childhood, what kind 
of effect would it have on Frei- 
dlinc’s Christianity? “It’s been an 
important factor in making me 
closer to God,” said Freidline. 
“When you have some limitations, 
you’re more prone to see your 
need for God. In fact, I.committed 
myself to Him at a very early age. 
It was very sincere, it was very 
serious. It was life-long.”
According to Freidline, this is 
the first kidney transplant that he 
has had. He werit on to explain 
that he had opted for dialysis, 
preferring 
to wait 
for 
newer 
developments 
in 
anti-rejection 
drugs without so many side ef­
fects. Freidline feels that it was 
worth the wait. 
“The drug that 
I’m on now is called Cyclosporine, 
an anti-rejection drug which is 
much better than the previous on­
es, and it is with virtually no side- 
effects.” 
Ironically, 
Freidline

P.S. Don’t forget my birthday.
Although the call came as some­
what as a surprise, Freidline says 
that he was well-prepared. 
“My 
reaction was joy. I was happy. In 
fact, I can’t remember a surgery 
that I would rather have gone to.” 
Freidline expressed his grati­
tude and appreciation for those 
who made a special effort to make 
the situation a little easier for him. 
“I’m really grateful to all of the 
teachers who took care of my 
classes for me 
while 
I 
was 
recovering. I’m also very grateful 
to the students and faculty who 
were praying for me, sending me 
cards, flowers, and other things. 
A lot of people were very kind.” 
“I would also like to add that 
I’m really grateful to the students 
who have ministered to and en­
couraged me in the past few years. 
It’s really been a blessing, and 
that has been important to my 
surviving this ordeal.”

mentioned that if taken for too 
long, (over two months), it can 
effect the kidneys.
Freidline now states that he’s 
feeling better than he has in three 
years, and it all happened rather 
suddenly. “I was giving ajGeneral 
Chem exam. The secretary came 
in and told me that I had a phone 
call from the Renal Transplant 
Center in Omaha, and I of course 
knew what that meant. I went to 
the phone and the doctor told me, 
this is it. Wc have a.kidney for 
you. After some preparation with 
teachers, I went home, got my 
suitcase, and left for Clarkson Ho­
spital in Omaha. When I got there 
they hemo-dialyzed me, and also 
pulled about a pint of blood to 
cross match all the tissue factors 
and blood factors. By 6pm, I was 
in surgery. 
The operation was 
completed by 9 that same night. 
In less than 12 hours, the entire 
ordeal was over.”
