o m tv Vol. XXIX CLOCK TOWER, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 9, 1955 No. 6 Misfortune Almost Muddles Rea-Roderick Marriage Plans Reynolds and Lewis Aid Distressed UC Alumnus When Hard Luck Hits // Love found a way for Althea Rea and Dick Roderick, both former Union College students, through a route strewn with three auto accidents, a lost trousseau and almost a lost bridegroom. Althea, 21, and Dick, 23, an army private from Minneapolis, were married in Minneapolis, Sunday, November 27. On Nov. 9, Miss Rea, a graduate of the Union College School of Nursing, left Denver for Minne- apolis in her car. Her baggage con- tained her wedding gown and those of three attendants and the flower girl. After 31 miles the car broke down and had to be towed back. Four days later Miss Rea started out again. She lost control of the vehicle on a slippery bridge in Nebraska. It overturned and hung suspended by one wheel which caught in a guard rail over a 30-foot embank- ment. Miss Rea was bruised; the car was a wreck. At the home of a police chief, Miss Rea waited until Mr. Robert Reynolds and Mr. George Lewis arrived to bring her here to Lincoln. On the way, the trunk of Mr. Lewis' car flew open, spilling Miss Rea's wedding clothes on the highway. They didn't discover it until 150 miles later, and there was nothing to do but go back along the trail asking every likely person if they had come upon a stray wedding dress. Finally at Hastings, Neb. a man produced the clothes. But the end of Althea's bad luck was not yet. On the last hip of the trip the car skidded into a ditch and had to be towed out. Meanwhile, Dick Roderick was also trying to get to Minneapolis. His parents sent him money for plane fare, but it never arrived. He managed to get some money together and made it to the wed- ding on time. The newlyweds, finally united Sunday, said they planned on a quiet honeymoon. "Nature's Half Acre To Benefit Alumni The Alumni Association will pre- sent the Saturday night feature on December 10. The officers are pro- viding an evening of entertainment in the showing of the 1955 Acad- emy Award winner film in the na- ture section. This is a Walt Disney production entitled "Nature's Half Acre." Two other films will be shown to complete the evening. They are "Midwest Holiday" and "Christmas Near and Far." The admission for this Alumni benefit program is 50 cents for adults and 35 cents for children. CT Delayed Directory To Be Off the rress Next Monday The Student Association presents another service to the students and staff of Union College. On Monday, December 12, the student directory will be off the press and ready for distribution. The directory contains the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the students. This information is also given for the faculty-staff and the academy. The Association hopes that, as has been true in the past, the di- rectory will be very useful and a help to those who avail themselves of the information contained in it. State Social Workers Choose Or. Nelson for Committee Dr. Russell K. Nelson, head of the Union College History Depart- ment, lias been chosen as a member of the Nebraska Committee on Education and Training for Social Work. The committee is composed of social workers who have found real satisfaction in working in the profession, and of teachers who believe that social work is a chal- lenging career which should be followed by more people. The pur- pose of the committee is to stimu- late an interest among students in social work as a career of service to mankind. Three years ago Dr. Nelson in- troduced at Union College the first class in social work ever taught in a Seventh-day Adventist college. Since that time one or two other colleges have followed suit. CT -CT- 54 Cars to Ingather At Omaha, Wed. Night Come no snow and shine, Wed- nesday night, December 14, 54 cars are expected to leave to ingather in Omaha. The goal for the evening solicitation is $1200, according to Elder A. V. Wallenkampf, who, with Elder M. W. Deming, is in charge of the project. Each car should have a driver and five solicitors, most of whom will be college students and faculty members. At 5:15 they will start for the "gate city" and after work- ing about an hour and a half, come back here for refreshments. Last year the goal of $1200 was exceeded as 65 cars of Unionites and College Viewers raised $1229. Elementary School Children Entertain College Students with Musical Program By Nancy Cross A group of musicians from the elementary school gave the chapel program on December 1 and 2. Mr. Leno directed the program, which included twelve participants. The first three numbers, piano solos, gave one the feeling of being in toy land: "Peppermint Canes," "In the Little Clock Shop," and "At the Lollypop Parade," played respectively by Fifi Farag, Julia Ann Brown and Doug Brown. The Christmas atmosphere was created by the violin solos of Norita Nelson and Johnny Lanz, who plaved "Adeste Fideles" and "The Santa Claus Parade," accompanied by Miss Christensen. The chapel Steinway took on a variety of moods as the sonorous "Bells" was played by Karen Krueger; Chopin's w e 11- known "Prelude in A Major" and "Dangerous Journey" by Ann Jar- nes; "Mazurka-Glissando" by Randi Heinrich; "Garden at Evening" by Myrna Howe, and "The Music Box" by Huda Farag. An unusual note was added by a French horn solo, the familiar "Berceuse" from "locelvn," played by Janet Wasemiller. The climax of the very enjoyable hour was Mozart's Sonata No. 1 played by John Klaren with his teacher, Mrs. Widner, playing the second piano part. Concert Band Offers Tenor, Typewriter, Clarinet, Soloists Saturday evening, December 3, the Union College Concert Band gave its first concert of the 1955-56 school year in the college auditor- ium. The band, under the direction of H. Lloyd Leno, presented a var- iety of musical selections, including marches, symphonic and descrip- tive numbers. The program was opened with "March Carillon" by the American composer, Howard Hanson. The band then played, as a tribute to the Finnish composer, Jean Sibe- lius, for his 90th birthday, "Finlan- dia." Bonnie Reynolds, a freshman music major from Glendale, Cali- fornia, played a clarinet solo, "Con- certino" for clarinet, accompanied by the band. The next two num- bers, tenor solos, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Come to the Fair" were sung by Harold Lickey, instructor of vocal music at Union College, and accompanied by the band. Several modern musical pat- terns were in the next number, a "Fantasy for Band." "Caucasian Sketches" featured various h o r n calls and musical themes from the Dunn Announces Wage Raise Underclassmen Choose Officers For 1955, '56 On Monday, December 5, the sophomore and freshmen classes completed their elections of offi- cers for the 1955-56 school year.

LeRoy Anderson's "The Typewriter Song" was "typed" and played on the typewriter and bells by Merlene Multer and Carolyn Rhodes, with the band. The "Color- ado" march and "Our United States March" concluded the program. As an encore, the band played the march "Chimes of Victory." Narrator for the program was (Continued on Page 2) Harry Holder is a pre-medical student from Clyde, Texas. The other officers elected by the sopho- mores were Vice-president Kathleen Prentice, a business major from Moberly, Missouri; Secretary Patricia Gordon, secretarial major from Hutchinson, Kansas; Treasur- er Marvin Waite, pre-dental stu- dent from Hay Springs, Nebraska; Pastor Harold Heath, religion major from Portsmouth, Ohio; Sargeant- of-arms Wallace Specht, education major from Loveland, Colorado; and Parliamentarian John Evans, a pre-medical student from Vicks- burg, Mississippi. Sponsors are Mr. Harold Lickey and Mr. Milo Anderson. The freshmen class president, Harold Reeder is a pre-dental stu- dent from Lincoln. Other officers are Vice-president Francis Evans, a pre-nursing student from Vicks- burg, Mississippi; Secretary Jeanie Rogers, a secretarial science stu- dent from St. Paul, Minnesota; Treasurer Ted Wick, religion major from Loveland, Colorado; Pastor Marlyn Cline, pre-dental student from Wichita, Kansas; Sargeant-of- arms James Dickinson, a pre-med- ical student from Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Parliamentarian Leonard Wea- ver, physical education major from Fallon, Nevada. Sponsors are Dr. L. W. Welch and Mr. Arthur Hauck. CT Promotion Team Adopts Agitated Atoms Theme The effects and causes of agi- tated atoms is the theme of a series of promotion trips being given by Dr. D. K. Brown of the Chemistry department and Mr. Milo Anderson of die Physics department. The last three weekends they have been at Enterprise, Campion, and Platte Valley Academies. Next week they will be at Maplewood Academy. The program is a series of experi- ments with light. All three main types of light are demonstrated. Black light, or light reflected from a light source having certain wave lengths, is shown and people have a chance to see themselves in black light as portable lights are carried around the auditorium. Cold or chemical light, similar to that found in fireflies, is shown and explained. Mr. Anderson becomes a human conductor for electricity by touch- ing one pole of a spark coil and pro- ceeding to light some light bulbs by screwing them in his ears and holding them in his mouth. CT Recreation Period Begun College married couples m a y bring their families to the gym each Sunday for a recreational and so- cial period from 6:30 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. This program will start Sun- day, December 11. Student wages are scheduled to be raised 33% starting March 1, 1956, according to Mr. V. S. Dunn, Union College business manager. Beginning March 1, there is an effective change in minimum wages for employees of businesses in inter- state commerce. Several of the col- lege industries are within this category. The present minimum is 75<- an hour; the increase will be one-third over this present level. The college board has agreed that it is more fair when student's wages in all departments of the college, non-industrial as well as industrial, follow much die same pattern of increase. According to Mr. Dunn, the in- dustries will meet their increase by raising the prices of their pro- ducts. The college will make up its difference by an approximate ten per cent increase in room, board and tuition. This increase is plan- ned for March 1. The average dormitory student will have an added cost of approxi- mately $90 for the school year. The average student working 16 hours per week on the campus will have an added income of approximately $125 for the school year. This increase in wages will be an asset to all students working over one-third of their college ex- penses in campus labor. It is a part of the educational program at Union College to offer as wide a diversity of employment opportunities as possible to'those students who wish to defray a por- tion of their expenses while attend- ing college. CT ATS Chapter to Judge Temperance Jingles Interested in making some mon- ey? Like to participate in the first Union College Temperance Society project?

'PmttecC from the heads of the Eds Since the opening of the CT campaign this foil, there has been a certain amount of dissatisfaction from several of our campus read- ers in the quality of the CT as well as the procedure of financing it The dissatisfaction has now reached such an extent that the Student-Staff Council has voted that the SA officers appoint a com- mittee to give a complete study to the situation. This neutral committee, according to chairman John Westerberg, is planning to call all interested participants including the CT staff members, to voice their ideas and suggestions before the committee. After this committee has completed its hearings, it will then make recommendations to the Student-Staff Council. This council will study the recommendations and make its recommendations to the Admin- istrative Council. Then the recommendations, provided they aren't lost along the way, are given study by this council and if deemed worthy will be put into effect. It is my desire that these committees keep in mind that nothing on this earth is so perfect that a change could not be a benefit to the school as well as the student body. E. M. SI While I was listening to the band give its concert last Saturday night, an idea was renewed in my mind. Let's give Lincoln an oppor- tunity to observe the musical ability that Union College has. One of the objectives of the college is to be an asset to the Com- munity and Lincoln proper. It is an asset financially, culturally, and otherwise, but this good relationship could be increased. A musical concert composed of combined choir and band (or orchestra) would possibly be a superb way of adding to Lincoln's prestige. If this combined concert were to become an anunal event, it undoubtedly would become one of the social highlights of the season. This concert would need to be given in the spring and at such a location that Lincolnites would be glad to attend. E. M. One Man's Opinion: "Peace" and Prosperity The above slogan will be used tellingly by the Republicans in the next presidential campaign. It is a comparatively true statement since we are in a period of all-time high prosperity and uneasy peace. The Democrats will undoubtedly attack this slogan, and many of their state- ments will be comparatively true. This is all in the "good old American tradition" but is it feasible in modern-day politics particularly insofar as "peace" or foreign policy is concerned? The Republican Viewpoint The G.O.P. says, Don't abandon bi-partisanship now. Let us be united, for a house divided against itself cannot stand, but above all give us the credit for the peace because we are the party in power." In other words, don't attack us but give us the credit. What the Democrats say The Demos in turn say, "Don't take credit for the peace because we helped to make it with a bi-partisan foreign policy but stand assured that every mistake you (the G.O.P.) make in the field of foreign policy will be held against you because . . . well, you know how it is in a pres- idential campaign." In other words, we can use foreign policy as a cam- paign issue but you can't. The State department The State department says, "Boys, boys, let us present a united front to the world because they don't know about the "good old American" tradition of mudslinging. They might even think that you mean it." And so the controversy rages. News Notes A.F. of L. and the C.I.O. will merge this week despite John L. Lewis and they will swing a big, big stick. Fatherhood will again become grounds for draft deferment shortly. The Middle Eastern arms race picked up speed last week with Israels' receipt of Oueragan jet fighters from France to pit against Egypt's faster MIG-15s from the Soviet bloc. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, dictator of the Dominican Republic, spent three weeks in Kansas City, Missouri. His purchases amounted to almost $200,000.

Earl Sabo Jean Belt* Ronald Winters Canted Ga+ido-l by elby Mid-semester exams are a thing of the past, the quiet inspiration of prayer week lias been carefully, comfortably forgotten, Thanksgiv- ing turkey (mock) has finally been digested, and with the holiday sea- son bounding across the calendar as we hasten to meet it, the stage is sumptously furnishe il for a schoolyear drama known in some scholastic circles as the "pre-Christ- mas slump." Parties, gifts, and an- ticipated vacation frolics dominate the mind while scurrying snow and moon-filled skies of crystal form delightfully hazy veils drawn gent- ly across the rude realities of day reak living. Teachers uninitiated to the annual ritual tactlessly attempt to paralyze its tenacious toils by injecting the atmosphere with heavy assignments and ruthless quizzes, but to no avail; the victims remain entranced, like blizzard- fated tramps falling peacefully into the frozen sleep of death. Overdrawn? Perhaps. But let the popular tripping tongue of criticism rest for awhile on its owner as thoughts are turned aside from "gross injustice" ruling the halls of UC and "vengeful vindictiveness" of an unappreciated professor to consider the condition that you— you—you—you find yourself in. If you can find yourself. Why now? Because this very moment of leth- argic torpidity is the moment in which you need most to be nakedly caustic in critical self-examination. After all, we humans do so well criticizing aspects of our environ- ment about which we can often do absolutely nothing, why not turn our invective stream upon an object which can by our own will be made to meet the terms demanded? Consider first of all that factor doubtlessly uppermost in the minds of most modern collegiates—social standing. Just how well accepted do you think you are, and why? What characteristics do you posses which are assets in your battle to win friends and influence teachers, and how can you better develop them? Now, are there some ways in which you could improve, some manifestations of selfishness too predominant, some mannerisms far from attractive which would best be eliminated? How about your dress? Are you neat and tidy, if not the latest fashion plate, at least the ultimate in cleanliness and good taste? Stop and consider—per- haps even you have room for im- provement. It may be that social opportun- ities are unimportant to you, how- ever, when classed alongside the intellectual activities of the well- developed mind, and that to hold the key to learning receives your highest bid on the auction block of life. Very well, how may you inten- sify your concentration, a most im- portant attribute in this business of building big brains? Do you need to improve your study habits, perhaps in regard to regularity, organization? Or is it that envied perception to realize just what it is the teacher deems important that is eluding your grasping reach? Whatever it be, study your ap- proach to study all along the line, looking mercilessly for flaws—you just may be able to find some. Perhaps you belong to that wret- ched class known in some aristocra- tic societies as the epitome of human achievement, the "idle rich," but if you are fortunate enough to have to do something by the sweat of your brow to earn the daily bread and the college diploma the question of monetary remuneration for services rendered just may have some slight appeal to you. Where do you stand with your employer, and why? I suppose that's basic, but what is your attitude toward your work and the business in which you're engaged? These are items which might be a little bit hidden from superficial view. There are other questions to be asked. Ask them—and answer them. Ostensibly we are at a Christian college because, above all other considerations, we desire to pre- pare for a home with Christ in the future and equip ourselves to aid others also in this preparation. Per- haps in tliis mirror treatment we should also consider for a moment the image of religion we find re- flected. Just how real is it? A great philosopher has said, "Know thy- self." Do you? The church probably harbors more hypocrites than any other organization and many of them are so without realizing it. We always feel that at all times there is room for personal improve- ment, but here we should consider basic principles by which our lives are being guided. Are they what we profess? And if not, why not? Do we know the reason our lives so often show such a divergence between belief and practice? Would we find, in solving this dilemma, a solution to all the afore- mentioned problems? Only quacks are supposed to offer cure-alls to the ailing public, so we'll not con- sider such remedy here.

I think she's a big flirt!" Where have you heard statements like that? Was it you? As we all know, judging someone is one of the easiest things in the world to do. Maybe we don't even give it a thought, but nevertheless we judge. And it is not right. Re- member the text, "Judge not that ye be not judged." "Oh, but this doesn't apply to me. I'm a Christian and I don't do things like that." You have also heard that statement. If that person stopped to think for five minutes, chances are that he or she could think of many such in- cidents. There is a quotation that would do us all good to remember. It goes like this: "There is so much good in the Worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us. That it doesn't behoove any of us To talk about the rest of us."

Clash Party Last Saturday evening a large number of UCA students met in the basement of the church annex for an evening of fun. If you had entered w itliout knowing what was going on, you would "have wondered who had the best taste. Maybe there was a reason for those pink and red socks, blue and orange shirts and ties. Yes, it was the Academy clash party. The evening included "Prince of Paris" and "Musical Chair" and ended with cream-filled doughnuts and hot chocolate. Youth Fellowship "Empty Cupboard, Full Heart" was the title of 'the program pre- sented Friday evening by the Acad- emy Youth Fellowship. The pant- omime, with narration by Mrs. A. T. Jensen, told the story of old Mrs. Hubbard, who risked what little money she had on a worthless min- ing stock. Believing she had lost all her money and was destined to spend the rest of her life in a home for the poor, she pawned her em- ralcl brooch and provided a large Thanksgiving dinner for all her friends and neighbors. Mrs. Lov- ell acted the part of Mrs. Hubbard. Several academy students also took part. Marilyn Harper directed the program. Sabbath School Lee Rausten had charge of a special Thanksgiving Sabbath School program last week. Miss Smith read a story of a girl in the land of Goshen.Mrs. E.N.Dick gave a reading about Thanksgiving Ann who believed in "systematics" about giving to the Lord. Velmajean Knauss read a peom, and Art Dick sang a vocal solo. A clarinet, oboe, and flute trio by three college stu- dents, accompanied by Mr. Tilkens, concluded the program. Teacher of the King's English The mother of our English teach- er never allowed her daughter to skip school. She did such a good job teaching her to go that Miss Reid believes that is why she could- n't stop and so she is still going. im Miss Maude Reid Her academy education was com- pleted at Keene, Texas. Then on to Union College until 1930. Miss Reid completed her Master's de- gree at the University of Oklahoma in 1945. She has taught church school "for many years" in other places and then came to the Union College Elementary School in 1948 to teach girls and boys in fifth and sixth grades (I was one of those). By ending this in her own words, we can become better acquainted with Miss Reid. "The children of one of my first church school pupils are here at Union now. I think I know how grandmas must feel. Proud!" Lee Rausten CT -CT- By Bob Romans Thanksgiving dinner is over and only pleasant mem- ories of home, loved ones, and mother's pumpkin pie remain in our minds. Of course, we'll never forget father's kindly advice to "raise those grades" and our promises to try harder, even if it means less time with our girl, and (perish the thought) more studying. Many a fast ski run is being relived and re-run in late-hour discussions in South Hall. Just about every night you can find Dave Emde, Tom Bringle, Bob Iluffer, Jim Maxwell, Kenney Mayes, Dick Milholm, and almost any Colorado resident now living tempor- arily in South Hall, arguing the merits of taking the "Balch" run at Winter Park through the slalom gates or clown the main chute. The coming Christmas vacation should replenish ideas and also restock the boys' dorm with crutches and casts. Bouquets and many thanks to Miss Whitfield and her dining room help for the high caliber food they serve us.

Basses, baritones, and what have you try to out-do each other, usually in different keys. But the most sterling performances come when the cafeteria turns on all the hot water, thus causing ice-cold water to gush from the showers. Then, and only then, do these budding amateurs strike a note of genius, but (b-r-r-r) what an inspiration! By Wendy Owen "Roommate, do you think that dojigger on the thingamabob that goes up and down should jaga- mahop that way?" This question was heard in the hall. And since it was a very definite question, it got a very definite answer. "No, the flipadoodle of the dojigger is broken, so we'd better leave a note at the desk for someone to fix the jigabob on the thingamabob." The standard joke that has probably appeared in every column anyone has ever read, was slightly modified the other day by Jo Thompson. She came in after the lights had gone out and picked up what she thought was a tube of hand cream. The next morning she shocked north third into hysterics by appearing sleepily with chlorophyll toothpaste spread all over her face. In the few minutes between the end of morning worship and the first class bell, a parade of dust mops and brooms can be seen on every floor. Rugs are shaken, lamps dusted, and rooms put in apple- pie-order in preparation for the daily room check. Many mothers would be proud of the beautiful rooms that this results in. I wonder if the same thing can be said of South Hall? Zerita Hagerman was heard complaining about some of her class work the other day. "I have projects in every class, but I just can't seem to get one in Marriage and Family!" "That's all right, Zerita; the wise man once said, 'All good things come to him who sits and waits'. Maybe you just haven't found a good sitter and waiter." The worship room was quiet. Piano music drifted over the room and everyone sat in silence and quiet meditation. A regular evening worship was proceed- ing when suddenly the fire bell rang and then rang again. Girls jumped; frightened looks appeared on every face. Where was die fire? It took a few minutes to convince the students that it was only the tardy bell, and no fire at all. That's all right, Delores, we know that an array of buttons to press sometimes can confuse a person to the extent that she can make a little mistake. After all, variety is the spice of life. Orchids to the monitors for their lovely bulletin boards on each floor! At last you can save that des- pairing feeling of having climbed an extra flight of stairs because you didn't realize you were on your floor. Onions to the people who tromp down the stairs to worship! Until we get that carpet back on the floor, everyone should be as light-footed as deer. Methodist Bishop Stresses "Fallacy of Bigness" Idea H. Bascom Watts, visiting Meth- odist minister, told students in chapel, November 28 and 29, that "there exists in the world today a fallacy of bigness." He'used Matthew 18:20 as his text. "Where two or three are gath- ered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Using this text Watts applied the promise to books, dollars, and ideas. "People are important to Jesus," he said. "All these others (books, ideas, dollars) are important only as thev contribute to humanity."

Mr. Hauck stated, in his talk entitled "This Is Where I Come In" that "Our voices are the mirrors of our personality j Whatever has to do with human life, has the same to do with salesmanship. We are constantly selling ourselves and our ideas. It is the human touch that sells. Our voices, our looks and our facial expressions tell it all."

DECEMBER 9, 1955 Oh the h/au "P^tJ4iti?y^MOaLyouOo-" Chorale Concerts r t lw Ernest Schwab of the Union Rank- in which he , 0t} Thursday morning With Loren Dickinson Noticed quite an aggregation of collegiates out Denver way as of Thanksgiving. From Louisiana's mitey Bill Wilson comes word that skiing a few of the Rockies' more prominent slopes was some fun. Bill was there but don't ask him how much of the vertical excercise he got down the grades. But speak- ing of down grades, again noticed quite a rush of business on Miss Anderson's office of late—too late is the cry! Most "untimely" was it that both grades and cherubs arriv- ed home together for what could have been Happy Holidays. En- trance through the front door and an open arms reception is no longer the collegiate way of saying,"School is out, I'm home now." (Don't re- call ever using that approach any- how ). Friend Ike got a miscue from the weatherman in proclaiming De- cember 1, Safe Driving Day. In fact, it was precarious maneuvering the Florsheims from Acl building to science hall at 7:30 not to think of what the 12:15 rush hour must have caused with campus traffic from all corners to the cafeteria. Wonder what the terror of 101 was doing that day? So next time, which will be the last school day of year 1955, no less, follow our nominations for Person- alities of the Year. And if you have a selection, let's hear it. Who knows, a friend of yours might be named "Student of the Year." On second thought, reserve that one for us. M u c h—but much—searching will need be done. And By the Way, remember; if you growl all day, naturally you'll be dog-tired at night.

This week's quotable quote- Betty Collingsworth in Music Fund- amentals class attempting to hold up a scheduled test-"Just a minute, I've got to get my Perfect Fifths and Major Sixths mixed up." You ;an see how nerve-racking that class must be. Evidently carried away by one of Mr. Tilken's numbjrs at his Saturday night recital, one feminine auditor was heard to exclaim, "My, he sounds so much like Liberace." Mr. Tiikens reacted rather laconi- cally when he heard about it, and said, "I guess I should have had a candelabra upon the piano." Frank- ly, this reporter would rather hear Tiikens than Liberace (no offense, Liberace fans!) At a recent concert appearance of the Golden Chords Chorale it seemed that a certain little black bow tie was causing Professor Rhodes considerable consternation. It appears that even though he traded bows with one of the fellows for the second half, the latter proved more troublesome than the former. Perhaps a good old-fashion- ed non "clip-on" bow-tie would be the most appreciated present the choir could give Mr. Rhodes for Christmas this year! Couple of weeks ago at Sabbath School, we were pleasantly sur- prised when the special music pre- sented was an oboe and clarinet duo by Nancy Cross and Bonnie Reynolds. The calibre of music was elevating and it set this writer to thinking how nice it is to have active on the campus this and other ensembles such as a string quartet and a wood-wind quintet (at least I have heard that there is to be a wood-wind quintet; I surely hope so). At present also, Mr. Tiikens, Mr. Howard, and three local musicians have formed a quintet which rehearses Sunday pi'rhts. I believe this all points to a greater cultural awakening here at Union College. Arthur Howard by Ernest Schwab As the bus drove up, a young lady stepped in and before deposit- ing her fare, asked the driver, "Does this bus go to Union College?" Being a good-natured chap, the driver replied, "You say Peanut Hill?" Thinking he had not under- stood, she repeated, "Union Col- lege." Pie said, "Sure, this takes you to Peanut Hill." Realizing the girl was now quite flustered, he ex- plained to her that "Peanut Hill" is an o 1 d nick-name for Union College. Probably m a n y readers have heard this expression. Many believe it is a mocking, derisive term, but it is far from this. Just how did this name come about? Let us turn back the pages of time to about 1891. Lincoln in 1891 was a very small town. It had no parks and few pla- ces of entertainment. The street car line had just been completed from Lincoln to College View. It was also the year that Seventh-day Ad- ventists were beginning to practice health reform. A local man, Mr. Weis, had a store located just west of the Union Bank in which he sold peanut products, including peanut butter and roasted peanuts. During the summer months band concerts were held on the campus of Union. The campus was like a large park and many people on their Sunday holiday would ride large open summer trolleys to Union and have picnics on the grounds. It wasn't long before hundreds were gathering every Sunday. Mr. Weis, probably real- izing the potential, hired some small boys who went about selling roasted peanuts. Peanuts were rel- atively new then, but they went over "in a big way", just as they do now. So, with the park-like grounds, concerts, and the inevitable pea- nut vendors, Union College, which is located on a prominent hill, be- came known as "Peanut Hill." Thus w h e n hearing the term "Peanut Hill," don't feel offended. Feel proud, because it is a land- mark in Lincoln history, a land- mark which recalls pleasant mem- ories to "old timers." SPORTS SCENES By Rob Johnson Volleyball of '55 closes a very successful season which will long be remembered as the year the Faculty eight were squeezed out of first place honors. The trophy was taken by the powerful Poten- tates who were undefeated through- out the season. The very high cal- iber of volleyball play and sports- manship which was prominent this season made it unusually interest- ing. Members of the winning team are Kenneth Dedeker, Harry Hart- grove, Ronnie Nelson, Dale Palmer, Leonard Shockey, Barry Siebenlist, Bud Siebenlist, and Norman Woods- Volleyball-Final Standings Potentate's 7 0 Faculty 6 1 Koshers 5 2 Village 4 3 Oilers 3 4 Buffs 2 5 Academv 1 6 Cadre ' 0 7 _ Seven "A" leagues and eight "B"' league basketball teams are sched- uled in what promises to be one of the biggest and best basketball seasons at Union Collegs.

Patricia Petersen Fred Reed We Always Try to Please! REFRESH YOURSELF AT THE CHAT On Thursday morning, Decem- ber 1, the Golden Chords Chorale, under the direction of [. Wesley Rhodes, presented a pre-Christmas concert in the Trinity Methodist Church in Lincoln. The concert was sponsored by the "Thursday Morning Lecture Club," a prominant and exclusive women's club in Lincoln. Many outsiders also enjoyed the program since "guest day" was being ob- served. The concert included several special Christmas numbers and also numbers from the choirs stan- dard repertoire. A few included were "Angels From the Realms of Glory,""Go Tell it on the. Mountain," and "Lamb of God." As their con- cluding number in the concert, the choir sang "Sleep My Jesus Sleep" featuring Myrna Bauer and Arlo Funk as soloists. Assisting in the program were Mr. Tiikens, Mr. Howard and the Melodiars. On Dec. 12, at 1:30 p.m., the choir will present a similar concert in behalf of the Nebraska Federated Women's Club in their new club- house.

Then there's the professor who, to speed up activi- ties in a recent faculty meet, seconded his own motion. UNIONITES AID HOMELESS Each Tuesday evening a group of students under the leadership of Millie Hall conducts the worship program for the children of Cedars. On Friday nights a group from the College View Church are in charge of the worship period. The Cedars Home is called "the home between homes" and was established for the children of de- linquent parents. For several years girls from North Hall have shown their interest in these children by giving them clothes and inviting them to the campus for visits. This year a new project was begun-the Tuesday night worship programs. Group singing, special music, stories, and chalk-talks geared to hold the attention of youngsters help these under-privileged child- ren to realize that someone cares. CT Dixon Guest of B K Thirtv-two people attended the first Beta Kappa supper club meet- ing on December 1. Miss Dorothy Dixon, personnel manager of the Russell-Stover Candy Company, was the after-dinner speaker. How did Miss Dixon first obtain her job? She answered an advertise- ment in the newspaper for a secre- tary with the firm. After a few months the personnel manager left and Miss Dixon was asked to fill the vacancy. Being a personnel manager is an interesting job. Meeting" people and hiring new employees are just two of the opportunities and duties. How to fill out an application blank correctly was emphasized. Your hands reveal a great deal, be neat, and dress appropriately were some of the helpful hints given to the Business Club members.
