Camp meeting tiiis year promises to be outstanding once again. Those who attend will find it a source of spiritual refreshing and blessing. There will be a number of visit- ing speakers. Those from the Gen- eral Conference will be W. R. ^ach, secretary of the General inference; A. O. Dart, assistant .cretary of the Educational De- partment for Parent and Home Education; and W. H. Bergherm, associate secretary of the National Service Organization. F. D. Nichol, editor of the Re- view and Herald, will be present as well as F. A. Soper, editor of Listen magazine.

Elder Theodore Carcich will be the speaker at the Saturday evening (Continued on page 2) Union College Is "Mrs. Jester, will you please call the power house and tell them that it's cold up here on third floor?" "Will you have the maintenance department check the windows in my classroom? One of them won't open and rattles like an old Ford when the wind blows." "Oh, Mrs. Jester, do you know who has a nice, roomy, but cheap apartment for rent?" So on and on all day long for Nany weeks and months, Mrs. ster has answered complaints, moothed ruffled feathers, and ironed out many perplexities. And in the adjoining office, Mr. Jester has listened patiently to many students as they reason with him about wanting to leave their assigned jobs and find other em- ployment. Or perhaps a letter from Dad has inspired a student to work more. Student labor and accounts—what huge problems! But Mr. Jack Jester has been wrestling with them patiently and efficiently for the past three years as assistant business manager in charge of student accounts. More recently (February, 1956) he was elected to be assistant business manager in charge of the account- ing department. Mrs. Jester, as Mr. Dunn's sec- tary since 1947, has been a veri- ble information bureau and trouble-shooter" for the business office. Her pleasing voice over the telephone and her winning smile as she greets the public have made for her a place in the hearts of all who have found it necessary to make use of the business office ac- commodations. But now Union College is losing the Jester family, for they have ac- cepted a call to the Oregon Con- ference where Mr. Jester will be the assistant treasurer. They will leave for Portland in August. Classes Will Begin at 7:30 After many years, the Union College staff voted last spring to change the weekly schedule of classes at Union College. Begin- ning next September, classes will begin fifteen minutes earlier at 7:30 a.m. and die morning section will close at 12:00 noon. There will be one class period in the after- noon beginning at 1:00. Some of the laboratories will begin at 1:00 p.m. and some at 1:55 p.m. In general, students having a labora- tory beginning at 1:55 p.m. should avoid any class at 5:10 on the day of his laboratory. Chapel will be held during the fourtii period on Mondays and Fridays, instead of during the third period. The following is the new sched- ule of classes for next school year: 7:30- 8:20 First Period Classes 8:25- 9:15 Second Period Classes 9:20-10:10 Third Period 10:15-11:05 Fourth Period Classes and Chapel 11:10-12:00 Fifth Period Classes P.M. 1:00- 1:50 Sixth Period Classes 1:00- 4:00 Laboratories 1:55- 4:55 Laboratories 4:15- 5:05 Physical Education Classes 5:10- 6:00 Music Organizations and Physical Education During the last several years, new classes have been arranged for the students of differing abilities and interests. Some of diese are Survey of Business, General Ac- counting, Survey of Biology, a five- hour section of General Chemistry, Human Growth and Development, Introduction to Literature, Soci- ology of the Family, Marketing and Meal Planning, Nutrition, Fresh- man Mathematics, Speech, and a number of courses in die various major fields. The new schedule is being de- veloped, and will soon be released to the teachers for study and ap- proval. Chemistry Department Receives $2300 for Nurses Will Go to Colorado in August Losing lis Jesters - Going lo Oregon Mr. Jester graduated from Union College in 1951 with a business ad- ministration major. After his gradu- ation he was assistant manager of of the college press for three years. Since 1954 he has been connected with the business offices of the college. His extra-curricular duties have included financial advisor of the Golden Cords and the sponsor- ship of various missionary bands of the MV society. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jester have taken an active part in the College View Sabbath School and church. The Jesters have two little jokers —David, 8, and Tcrri Jo, 5. David is very interested in model railroad- ing which is one of his daddy's hobbies. Terri Jo keeps busy fol- lowing her big brother around, in true little-sisterly fashion, to sec that he stays out of mischi :f.

August 9 finishes the college course and makes these students eligible for degrees. Charles Simmons of Freeburg, Illinois, Miriam Bercha, religion major, and Edward Ilaffner will receive the Bachelor of Arts degrees. Edgar Browning of Lin- coln receives the Bachelor of Arts in Religion degree. Receiving a Bachelor of Science degree are Isabelle Howard of Lincoln, with an Elementary Education major, and Merrill Wall, with a Business Administration major. Helen Kainer of Redfield, South Dakota, will re- ceive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. J. Wesley Rhodes, head of the Union College Music department, will receive his doctorate this month from Columbia University Teacher's College. He completed his work in June. Union welcomes Mr. Rhodes back from his year's leave as Dr. Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes' project was a plan for the revision of the musical training for secondary school music teachers. For this he studied die needs of a number of academies. Harry Robert Wilson was Mr. Rhodes' major professor. Mr. Rhodes will receive the degree of Doctor of Education. Biochemistry Project The Union College Chemistry department has received a research grant of $2300 from die United States Health Service to finance a project in Biochemistry for die coming school year. The research will be a continuation of the invest- igation carried on in the depart- ment last year. It deals with the basic structure and properties of certain proteins. The grant will pay for the sup- plies used in the project, salary for the teacher working on the project part-time, and student help. Myrle Marie George watches Douglas Beyer catch the butterfly as brother, Leonard, prepares to chase it if necessary. Beginning with the incoming freshman students, the student nurse will enter the Clinical Divi- sion on the Colorado campus one semester earlier. Instead of trans- ferring to the Colorado campus in February, she will go in August. Thus, under the new arrangement, she will be on the Lincoln campus one school year, on the Colorado campus two years, and then back to the Lincoln campus in Septem- ber for her fourtii year and gradu- ation with her class. To accomplish this new arrange- ment, several modifications have been made in the work on the Lincoln campus. The Speech Fun- damentals and Sociology of the Family classes have been left over for die senior year. The classes in psychology will be integrated for this first year class into the Psychi- atric Unit on die Colorado campus. .Anatomy and Physiology and Mi- crobiology will be united into a two-semester six-hour course. Survey of Chemistry will be changed to a second semester five- hour course, including one hour of laboratory. The other third semester courses will be moved to the first year. No changes have been made in the work on the Colorado campus, except as to the arrangement of the time the student will take her hospital experiences and nursing studies. The new outline of courses will be as follows: Basic Nursing Curriculum Lincoln Campud—Freshman Year Mr. and Mrs. Jock Jester at home with Dovid and Terri Jo SUMMER SESSION 1957 Wednesday, August 7 A.M. 7:30-12:15 Classes meet as usual P.M. 1:30- 3:30 9:40 a.m. Classes 3:45- 5:45 4:50 p.m. Classes 7:30- 9:30 8:35 p.m. Classes Thursday, August 8 A.M. 7:30- 9:30 7:30 a.m. Classes 9:454.1:45 10:45 a;.m.

Over $100 was realized as a result of the showing. The two dormitory clubs planned and conducted an evening of games, music and refreshments on Saturday evening, July 27, at Rob- ber's cave near Lincoln. As the last Saturday evening at- traction of the nine-weeks' session, games and a watermelon feed will be featured on August 3. The gymnasium has been open for skating several nights a week during the summer. The swimming pool, ball field, and tennis courts have been favorite recreational centers for the summer-time resi- dents of the campus. Off-campus activities have included miniature golf and ice skating at the Pershing auditorium, sponsored by the col- lege and College View MV society. Members of the summer social committee were PI. Lloyd Leno, chairman, Betty Christensen, Vic- toria Larsen, Betty Loga, A. Engel, Edith W a 1 g r e n, Jane Reding, Yvonne Arvidson, Ben Steiner, Glen Larsen, and Bill Edwards. Rhodes Receives Doctorate from Columbia University Page 2 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 2, 1957 THE UNDIAGNOSED Summer is here, and with it comes trying to learn the essen- tials of nursing, in spite of the weather. But, of course, it is not all study. The mountains seem to have an attracting force that must he answered. Glacier View Park, one of the most beautiful mountain scenes in Colorado, held many of us spellbound as we drove into the Seventh-day Adventist Youth Camp, on a Friday evening. Delia Henneberg, LaDonna Z e m p e 1, Marion Lincoln, and Erma Haff- ner decided that they would rather stay outside than sleep in the dormi- tory for the campers, so they pitched a tent on some huge rocks by the lake and did their own cooking and tried to sleep—hobo style. Doris Oshiro has acquired quite the reputation for being a sound sleeper. She vaguely remembers someone (the culprit has not been found) coming into her room late at night and telling her that she was supposed to get up and get ready for work. She evidently dressed for work, over her night clothes and went back to bed, for in the morning, she found that she had been sleeping in part of her uniform. Miss Helen Sullivan is going to be our dean for five and one-half weeks while "Mom" Cornell takes OPP'S Sinclair Service Dealer in Goodyear Products 4-9915 4103 S. 48th BLOOM TYPEWRITER EXCHANGE by Erma Crofoot her much deserved vacation. Mrs. Cornell plans to visit several places from Wisconsin to California. Emergency Room nursing is a new experience for Pat Dunn. A few weeks ago, a man came into the Emergency Room with a badly cut finger. Pat started to clean the wound, but another gentleman that had come in with the patient seemed to be in Pat's way, whenver she would reach for something. Pat asked him to step back so that she could get the patient taken care of, and finally he was asked to be seated. It was not too long until the truth dawned—much to Pat's embarrassment and the man's amusement. This "other man" was the patient's doctor. We are glad to hear that ten of the thirteen graduate nurses of the class of 1957 plan to work here at Porter Sanitarium and Hospital as Registered Nurses, after their train- ing is finished. Millie Odegaard has accepted a call to be dean of girls at San Pasqual Academy, near San Diego, California. Mary Ellen Hoyt plans to work in the St. Helena Sanitarium, in California. Ruth Kainer will soon become Mrs. Gene Gascay. We really enjoy having Miss Alice Smith with us this summer. Recently, she has been conferring with the Navaho Tribal Council at Monument Valley, Utah, about Navaho Health Problems. While preparing a patient for breakfast, Betty Campbell started looking for the patient's tooth brush. Not being able to find it, she asked the patient if she had one. One look revealed the reason. The patient had had an entire mouth extraction, just the day be- fore. Sunday morning Miss Pride, Miss Zahady, and Miss Germann started out for a day of hiking and "The Student's Store" Sale & Sen/ice Repair Work 323 N. 13th Ph.2-5258 Hornung's Hardware Across from campus 3923 So. 48th Ph. 4-1312 Attention Students- It will cost you no more to take your clothes to the Southside Cleaners, 4702 Prescott.

Time does fly, as my grandmother used to say. More than half of the vacation (?) is gone and soon dear old Union will open its doors once again to the hundreds waiting in registration lines. Here's hoping you, our next year's classmates, are enjoying your summer activities. And whether you be plowing or playing, we hope you're planning to he right back here come September. In the meantime, life goes on here at Union, more specifically in North Hall. Summer or winter, rain or shine, there seems to be certain perpetual 'goings on' here of a mischievous nature. One would think that summer's more dignified professional students would tend to halt such activity, but such is not the case. 1 am told that there are short-sheeted beds, mixed-up dresser drawers and knotted-pajamas found quite regu- larly among those who, nine months out of twelve, direct the younger set. For details you could check with Ruth Ann Stringer, Carolyn Stewart, Geneva Gillham or one of several others. Kappa Theta activities also flour- ish with the warmer (and believe swimming. Not until they were well on their way did Miss Germann realize that she was still wearing her cloth bedroom slippers. You can be sure that she did no hiking. Miss Amanda Sloane, one of our nursing instructors, took a short tour, as Private Citizen Consultant. She taught a class in Communi- cable Disease Control Under Dis- aster Conditions, at a Communi- cable Disease Control Conference, at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. This conference was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare and The Nebraska Department of Health. Her other speaking en- gagement was the Kansas State College in Manhattan, Kansas. She spoke to the students at the Disaster School for Civil Defense Workers, on the subject of Disaster Educa- tion in Schools and Colleges. rr . 11 me, it's warmer) climate. Officers, elected too late for the last issue, are: Sharon Odegaard, president; Polly M u n s o n, vice president; Dorothy Pratt, secretary-treasurer; Jane Reding, cultural secretary; Marcia Petersen, chorister; and Carolyn Carrick, pianist. Outstand- ing among the summer's programs have been, Dr. I. Q. with Phil Freitas as M.C., a watermelon feed and a varied talent program by the sons of South Hall. The latest bulletin from old Mexico reveals that Dean Remlcy is enjoying all that Mexico has to offer in vacations. She is scheduled to return to the campus about the time this CT is off the press. The welcome mat is out, Miss Remley. From various sources we hear now and then about former North Hallites. Among the newly enrolled nursing class at Loma Linda are Carol Hanson, Mary Lou Merickel, and Barbara Dickinson. Lillie Reiter and Margiann Munson are "probies" at Glendale Sanitarium in Southern California. Joan Marie Smith (1955-56) is employed by the Youth's Instructor. So goes the news from North Hall. Most of us can be found most of the time in the coolest place possible doing as little as possible. Nebraska Camp Meeting (Continued from page 1) meeting. The 11 o'clock hour speak- er each day throughout the camp meeting will be W. R. Beach. The other meetings will be in charge of the various other ministers visit- ing the camp meting.

Adron Tenbrook Lydia Beck REFRESH YOURSELF AT THE CHAT South Hall Quote and Misquote' by Norman Wagness The sun's glow sinks in the west- ern sky and the last golden rays meet the eyes of a group of men that might be relaxing on the entry porch or reliving the hap- penings of the day on the green campus. One person who spends more time on the roof than he doe on the porch is Ben Steiner. It is hard to tell whether he likes the sun better than the evening shade or maybe he just wants to keep the looks of his much-commented-on haircut all to himself. Mr. Merle Harness from St. Paul, Minnesota, says that he is "im- pressed with the fine friendliness here at Union, and especially the good spirit of the North dorm." Mr. Johnson says that Merle is practicing a speech that begins and ends with "I do." Quote and misquote! Mr. I. O.

He likes the association and es- pecially "the food that the girls serve down below." Someone has said that it seems as if every year the freshmen are getting younger. This summer we have quite a young dorm-dweller. Though not a fresh- man, Scotty Baker is a regular and welcome "South Hallite." Lorenzo Greenidge, with a twinkle in his eyes, said to me as I was sitting in the parlor, "You know whom I just saw?" After practically going through the North Hall roster (lacking only 99), I said, "No." He replied, "The CLOCK TOWER editor and you have to have that in by 8:30." So here you are, Mr. Browning.

Campus scene The campus at Union beckons the occupants of both North Hall and South Hall to enjoy her natural beautv. From the campus where all mingle as one stu- dent body, they separate, each to go his individual way. A college education is more impor- tant today than ever before for both young men and young women. Whether you plan to be a doctor, nurse, teacher, minister, business man or secretary you will find Union College has much to offer you in your preparation for your life work. Perhaps it is because of the distinctive charocter of this physical structure on the campus and its commanding position evident for miles around that it has become the object of memory for every Unionite and a symbol of fellowship in life and study at Union College. A high scholastic level is maintained at Union College among both teachers and stu- dents. Many teachers are tak- ing advanced work during the summer months in order to offer the students the best in their field. Well-quailfied, Christian teachers devote their time and effort in class—and outside as well—to the training of youth. North Hall and South Hall —our "homes away f r o in "What would Union be like without the clock tower?" How often we hear those words. The tolling of its bells has become a part of the school and the com- munity. Its lofty spire silhouetted against the blue sky will ever remain dear to a Unionite. Though the schedule may be full, there is yet time for recreation and whole- some entertainment. The development of the physical and social aspect of life is Dr. Reinmuth's Greek class home"—house varied activi- ties: students rushing to and from classes, the well-planned worship periods, the dormitory clubs,the quiet study period and of course, the association of friends. Though North Hall may be old the spirit within her walls is young and happy. The new girls' dormitory is resembling more and more the beautiful building it will be when com- pleted. Union College Auditorium Music Hall The student who is interested in the fine arts may spend many hours in the music building while the future scientist finds Jorgensen Hall demands much of his time. The library at Union College calls the studious (and the less studious) to come within her walls to find necesary reference materials, an outsid reading book, to study or perhaps just to browse :h rough a book of lighter reading for eisure moments. Jorgensen Hall The beautiful parlor in South Hall South Hall is a new modern structure which also houses the cafeteria and a lovely, spacious dining room. Union has many opportuni- ties for the student who needs to work much of his way in school. The furniture factory, college press, bookbindery, broom shop, laundry and cafe- teria offer work to many stu- dents. not neglected at Union College. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Most important of all is the spiritual phase of life at Union. Plow wonderful to astpciate with , friends of like ideals and faith; to work together, study together, play together and to worship together. Be at Union September 15 to join us for another wonderful school year! 7 The College View Seventh-doy Adventist Church Page 4 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 2, 1957 Editorial And Business Staff Editor and Business Manager Edgar Browning Associate Editor Mane Redwine Assistant Editor Lola Cleveland Alumni Editor Mrs. E.

Illuminated Clock Tower by night . . . Bell-tolls on the hour and half-hour . . . "Halls of Ivy." These have given us a feeling of "belonging" to a mature and dignified institution of learning. Having recently left the beautiful mountainous country of southeastern Tennessee—home of the Great Smokies National Park we hardly expected to find such scenes of natural beauty surround- ing Union College. We rather had visions of flat, open, unattractive country. It has been a pleasant surprise. Having come from a section of country that through the years has had a reputation for "hospitality," we have also been agreeably surprised at the warm welcome we have received and friendly atmos- phere we have observed. This is true not only of students and teachers of Union, and members of College View community, but also of people and businesses of the city of Lincoln. Never in our experience have we been more sincerely welcomed. We were scarcely moved in before city hostesses called on us. Thereafter by phone and mail, many businesses made us feel welcome and important, and we were invited to visit stores and business places where we were given everything from free television service to free groceries and tickets to a ball game—and free lunches at two of Lincoln's best known stores. All this has given us a real feeling of "at-homeness." We like it. We had heard lots about Nebraska weather—hot and dry and windy. But we haven't seen much of it. They tell us "This is unusual." We have been very agreeably surprised with the weather. Summer weather at Union doesn't sap one's energy like it does in some places. The low, low humidity, and air conditioning make working at Union very pleasant. We heard that it didn't rein much at Union—maybe 15 to 20 inches a year. We were used to an annual rainfall of three times that amount. Well, lo and behold! within two weeks there was a storm which dumped 4V2 inches on Union in seven hours! That is more rain than we had seen in such a short period in our memory. That really was unusual! Our first Sabbath at Union we took part in the ordinances of the Lord's house. We have taken part in many such services through the years, but never do we remember one more impressive. It is wonderful to worship in a church again. This is the crowning ceremony and the high point of the week. The church at Union may be old, but it is beautiful. We have felt lifted nearer to God as we left its doors. "First impressions are lasting" so they say. That being the case, these impressions will remain with us a long time. We are most happy to be with you at Union. Elder and Mrs. W. B. Higgins T)ime (Pxeciou3-yitaty (Be Stolen "Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory. Of no talent He has given will He require a more strict account than of our time." COL, p. 342. The value of time cannot be measured in dollars and cents even though at times we are guilty of evaluating in such terms. It is far too precious a commodity to evaluate thus, for the right use of it has eternal consequences. To every person has been allotted the same amount of time—no more—no less. But what we do with our allot- ment of this priceless commodity may decide our destiny. Charles Quarles once wrote, "Make use of time if thou lov'st eternity." "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of" is a well-known gem of truth from B. Franklin's pen. When we waste time, we are trifling our lives away. Another author observed, "T ime. wasted is existence; used, it is life." As Christians, we have no time to waste, no time to devote to selfish pur- suits, no time to play with sin. "Procrastination is the thief of time." Are you allowing this thief to steal your God-given talent? So much depends upon the right use of our time, even during these hot summer days when we are apt to think of many unimportant things to do. A few moments here and a few there, are often frittered away, and we little realixe how these bits of time add up. It is the duty of every Christian to develop habits of order and thoroughness in the use of his time. Let us be diligent in the use of this talent, remembering that "Nothing is so dear and precious as time" and that "Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend." V.L. The Editor's Final Line The summer is post except for tests. What about the harvest, I wonder. Have we accomplished what we came here or stayed here to accomplish? For some of us, this summer has meant the finishing of our college course. That IS something accomplished! The heat has really been on this summer in many ways. (And the CT office has no air conditioner.) Teachers have kept us sweat- ing over grades and learning. The class periods have been as pleas- ant as the teachers can make them, however. We hope you enjoy page three. Thanks goes to Lola Cleveland for this feature. Never neglect to boost for Union College and for Christian education. by E. N We often say Union's graduates form a circle around the globe. The writer has just returned from a trip around the world and has found that in almost every country where he stopped, he found Unionites. Space forbids mention of more than a few of those he met. In Hawaii he found the office of president of the mission occupied by Cree Sandefur, '38. His wife is the former Mildred Priest, '39. In Guam Francis Crofoot, '47, is secretary-treasurer, and he will shortly welcome James Pogue, '44, and his wife, Lola Jane Rowland, '44. Elder Pogue will be the presi- dent of the Guam Mission. At Manilla Willis Hackett, '39, holds forth as president of the larg- est mission in all the Orient. As his responsibility, he has over 30,000 members and has three academies, a large college, a press and a large sanitarium to look after. At Hong Kong "Mr. Golden Cords" himself, Elder J. P. Ander- son, met the writer at the airport in his capacity as Transportation Agent. He was a member of the class of 1906 who presented the golden cords as a class gift to the college. He went to China that same year, and now after half a cen- tury he is retiring and returning home. His optimism under difficul- ties, his unfailing fund of humor, and his appreciation of sound scholarship mark him as a worthy son of Union College.

ATS Feature Senate's Oldest Member Es Example ot Temperance The U.S. Senate's oldest member, Senator Theodore F. Green, 89 (D-Rhode Island), advises skip- ping coffee at banquets—"so you can" sleep through the speeches"! The robust senator gives this ad- vice in an interview with Doctor- Editor J. DeWitt Fox in the August (1957) issue of Life and Health, a national health journal. A hard worker, a long walker, and light eater, Senator Green be- lieves that a person should "keep a clear conscience, let moderation be your motto, enjoy your life, and work and take regular exercise," to achieve life's happiest goals. Up at 7 o'clock each morning, Congressman Green breakfasts lightly at the Army and Navy Club, then strikes out on a two-mile walk to Capitol Hill. He usually returns to his University Club room at 11 p.m., after a day that sees him in the role of chairman of the impor- tant Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and an evening walk, streetcar or bus ride, in full eve- ning regalia to one of Washington's dinner parties. He has had a sympathetic in- terest in streetcars, transit lines, and their employees since he helped put the Rhode Island Company on a paying basis some 35 years ago. A nonsmoker who sprints up flights of stairs in the Senate Office Building, "Tarzan" Green, as his fellow senators call him, believes his walking habit pays dividends. "It gives me more time to meditate as I stroll along," he says. He feels that his Senate col- leagues "would benefit by more ex- ercises after sitting all day in com- mittees and Senate sessions." His zest for life is the envy of colleagues half his age. The oldest man ever to sit in the Senate, Green is among the wealthiest yet the most unpreten- tious; among the most cultured yet the meekest. He doesn't drive a car, is a bachelor, and is among the most sought-after dinner guests in Washington. He was the most reputed tailor of the Capital for his cleverness. All of his dresses suited his clients perfectly, whatever were the tat- ter's height, corpulence, age or gait. 1-Ie was called upon one day by a mandarin who ordered a cere- monial gown. After having taken the meas- urements, the tailor respectfully asked how long the mandarin had been holding his office. "What relation could that have with the cut of my gown," asked the mandarin testily. "The closest relation, my Lord," the tailor replied. "You know that a newly-promoted mandarin, im- bued with his own importance, carries his head high and throws out his chest. We must take that into consideration and cut the hind flap shorter than the fore one." "Later, we will gradually di- minish the inequality of the flaps which come to the same length when the mandarin is half way in his career. "Lastly, bent under the weariness of his long services as well as under the burden of years, when he onl; aspires to join his ancestors in heaven, the gown must be longer in the back than in the front. "That is why a tailor who does not know the seniority of the man- darins could not clothe them fitly." from The Times of Viet Nam Union's Future A boy, born to Sgt. and Mrs. Wayne Page, '56 (Marian Syfert), on April 11.

Brewers are weeping into their beer because their product failed to show any increase in sales last year. Lest they reach for "happy pills" to ease their despair, American Brewer has rushed forward with some suggestions to change the trend: "Make the serving of beer predominate at all industry events. We are producers and sales- men of beer. We must also be consumers. "Each employee is a potential salesman, and all must be encouraged to not only drink beer hut promote its usage among families and friends. Could not brewery unions, which have a big stake in our industry, co- operate in this direction?" What about a new ad campaign with "A beer every lunchbox" as a theme? in Camp Meeting prices are now in effect on al trade books, Bibles, and records. —10% discount COME IN NOW!
