Higher Education with a minor in administration is tlie graduate field of President Bieber, He has done some of his work at Stanford University but will study toward the degree at the Berkley campus of the University of California. "La Sierra is beginning a 5 mil- lion dollar building program similar to Union's," remarked Bieber. "They have rccendy outlined a ten-year Master Plan of the cam- pus." President Bieber came to Union in 1957 when H. C. Hartman left the presidency to become admin- istrator of Boulder Memorial Hos- pital in Boulder, Colorado. "Only one person has been pres- ident of UC longer dian President Bieber," observed G. L. Caviness, academic dean. "H. A. Morrison was president for eight years from 1914 to 1922." Hartman and M. L. Andreasen share seven-year UC presidency honors with President Bieber. After graduating from Union in 1936, President Bieber went to Oak Park Academy as teacher and accountant until 1939. Then he taught at Maplewood Academy from 1939 to 1941 then moved up to principal for four years. He ob- tained a master's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1945. From 1945 to 1949 he worked in Hawaii as principal of Hawaiian Mission Academy, and from 1949 to 1957 he was principal of Mon- terey Bay Academy in California. His wife, Eva, has been director of health here at Union for the past 6 years. They have one son Don, who will graduate from Union on May 31. Dr. Fowler Fills Presidency Dr. R. W. Fowler was elected the new Union College presi- dent in a special meeting of the college board on April 28, announced Elder R. H. Night- ingale, chairman of the board. Presently business manager here at Union, Dr. Fowler came here last year from Pa- cific Union College where he 'served as president for eight years. Dr. Fowler was presented at a special convocation of the students by Elder Nightingale on April 29. "The new president is not only an alumnus of Union, but also a man of experience who has served as academy principal and college presi- dent," stated Elder Nightin- gale. "Union should continue to move forward with a strong educational program for Ad- ventist youth of this territory under the leadership of Dr. Fowler." UC's 21st Annual Honors Convocation Fred A.

The invocation will be given by E. E. Hagen, '35, and the benediction by W. J. Hackett, '39. The program is being directed by die campus Foreign Mission Rand. Miss Pearl L. Hall is sponsor of the group. John Peter Anderson, a Union College graduate and a mission- ary to China, started the Golden Cords idea in 1906. Since that time a golden cord has been hung for each Union College graduate who has gone into foreign mission service. Senior Class Picnic Scheduled for May 4 The annual Senior class skip day will be May 4 at Fremont, Nebraska. "We had planned to go to Tuttle Creek Dam near Marysville, Kan- sas," class sponsor Robert Britain said, "but because of the distance and the fear of windv weather spoiling our water activities we decided to go to Fremont." The lake at Fremont is only sixty miles away and it has more coves and inlets for wind protec- tion whereas Tuttle Creek is over a hundred miles and is exposed to north-south winds. Water sports such as skiing, canoeing and swimming will be the main activity for the day, but a softball game will interrupt the water sports right after the picnic dinner. Rascher, Navy Band Here May 16 and 17 Sigurd Rascher, "world's finest saxophonist," and die world fa- mous United States Navy Band will present concerts in the College Auditorium May 16 and 17. Sigurd Rascher has appeared as soloist with more than 150 sym- phony orchestras in Amcrica, Eu- rope, and Australia since 1939. More recently he completed a con- cert tour of Australia, New Zea- land, and Europe. The 1964 Spring Concert Tour for tlie Navy Band will take the Rand through the states of West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Ne- braska, and Wisconsin. This i.s tlie Band's first Coast to Coast Spring Concert Tour, with day by day personal appearances. New Trash House Plant Replaces Incinerator A Union College landmark of many years will soon be removed and a newer facility installed. The old incinerator built in 1950, will be taken out and a new trash house will take its place. Mr. Kleiman, manager of the power house, who is in charge of building the new facility, stated that "the old incinerator has served its purpose, but has been too dirty and smoky." A trash house is being construct- ed which will house a two and one- half ton truck into which trash will be dropped and then hauled out. "To eliminate any excuse for trash blowing over the campus when it's being hauled to the incinerator it will now be hauled in bags instead of carts. The trash will be dumped through a chute in the top of the trash house into tlie waiting tmck. Because the power house has just purchased a 35,000 lb. per hour boiler and will be installing it soon, progress on the trash house has been slowed. "All in all this new trash dis- posal service will be much cleaner and more efficient than tlie pres- ent," said Mr. Kleiman. "We hope to have this service in operation by early this summer." class of 1914 and the twenty-five- year Silver Anniversary class of 1939. Mrs. Virginia Ogden, Alumni As- sociation secretary, said, "I know of eight 1914 alumni and twelve 1939 alumni that will be present They will be coming from Wash- ington, D.C., California, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, South Dakota North Dakota, Nebraska, Massa- chusetts, and Wyoming." The activities for the weekend will begin with a banquet on Thurs clay night. Mr. E. E. Hagen, class of '35 and president of the Alumni Association, will be the master of ceremonies. The main feature of the evening is to give recognition to the honor classes ancl to receive the 1964 class into the Association The 60th anniversary of the As- sociation also will be celebrated. Friday at C:20 a.m. a College Honor Convocation will be held in tlie college auditorium to honor those students with a grade point average of above 2 point. The Honorable Fred A. Seaton, Secre- tary of Interior in the Eisenhower administration, will be the speaker. A tour of the campus ancl a Honor Class Reception is also planned for Friday. The capping service for tlie sophomore nursing students will be held at 6:45 p.m. in the Col- lege View Church.

Friday evening tho oldest tradi- tion of Union College will take place in die college auditorium—the Hanging of the Golden Cords. Thirty-five cords will be hung. Elder N. W. Dunn, class of '24 and associate secretary of the Gen- eral Conference, will give the ad- dress. At both church services on Sab- bath Elder W. J. Hackett, class of '39 ancl president of the Atlantic Union Conference, will be the speaker. Elder D. W.

At sunset vespers, E. D. Dick, class of '14, will give tlie meditation mes- sage. Saturday evening's activities will include a social ancl business meet- ing of die Alumni Association fol- lowed by a program called "Prom- enade" sponsored by several col- lege departments. The twenty-first annual Honors Convocation, a traditional part of Alumni Weekend, lauds Union's top scholars tomorrow at 9:20 a.m. in the college auditorium. Nebraska's politician and news- paper publisher Fred A. Seaton, will deliver the main address after the presentation and recognition of honor students by Dean Caviness and President Bieber respectively. An alumni scholarship and several other awards are to be given out also. "B" average All tiiose recognized must have a "B" average or more in the last two semesters. The freshmen, of course, need a GPA of at least 2.00 in only one semester's work. The main speaker, Mr. Seaton, has been involved in Republican politics since he was eighteen years of age. He is probably most well known for the four years he spent as Secretary of the Interior in President Eisenhower's cabinet. In 1960 Seaton was mentioned by many as a vice-presidential candi- date. More recendy in 1962 he ran for governor of Nebraska against Frank B. Morrison and lost the election by a very close margin. Both Lincoln and Omaha gave a majority of their votes to Seaton. Stand on balanced budget While on the national scene Seaton continually took his stand for a balanced budget. He also spoke out for the admission of Democratic Alaska to statehood while other Republicans were drag- ging their feet. While campaigning in Nebraska two years ago he came out against a state sales tax or income tax. A native of Kansas who worked his way through Kansas State Col- lege, Fred Seaton in his first po- litical venture campaigned in Kan- sas for Herbert Hoover in 1928. Since moving to Nebraska in 1937 Seaton has accjuired several inter- ests in mid-western newspapers and radio stations. He is also presi- dent of KHAS-TV in Hastings. This is where Mr. Seaton now re- sides with his family. He has four adopted children, two of whom are war orphans. One is German, the other, French. It was in Europe that Seaton, among others, met General Eisen- hower and urged him to seek the Fred A. Seaton Presidency in 1952. When "Ike" came dirough with a sweeping victory Seaton unexpectedly re- turned to Nebraska, where he had already made a name for himself as a member of the Unicameral and later die Judicial Council. But instead of seeking a public office he returned to his farm. But the next year when a cabinet office became vacant, Eisenhower remembeerd Seaton and brought him to Washington. "Fred A." as his earlier associates called him, had already had a brief flurry with big-time politics while serving out the U. S. Senate term of Senator Wherry upon his death in 1951. But it was as a member of the cabinet that his influence definite- ly began to be felt. While in Wash- ington he was labeled a "liberal" and an excellent politician. To this clay, however, he considers himself to be a newspaperman. After moving up the ladder to administrative assistant to the Presi- dent, Seaton helped to organize an- other victorious campaign in 1956. Later in the year when die Sec- retary of die Interior resigned, Seaton was offered die job. At the time many western Republicans including Senators Hruska and Curtis, had been in favor of an- other Nebraskan, Clarence Davis, who was already working in die Department of the Interior. Most Republicans later agreed, however, diat Seaton did a very creditable job while secretary. Now 54, Fred A. Seaton has not revealed any future plans in poli- tics. Regular chapel seating will be observed during this special con- vocation, but visitors are welcome to sit in the balcony. Music Keynote for Living Theme of May Music Week Union College will observe Mu- sic Week May 3-9 through activi- ties sponsored by the ASB Program Productions Committee with tlie cooperation and assistance of die Music Department. On the afternoon of May 2, in Engel Hall, Marvelyn Loewen, or- ganist, will present an Hour of Praise in music and verse. Sunday evening, May 2, three senior stu- dents join in the presentation of their senior recital. They are Norma Franz, organist; Aida Trevino, pi- anist; and Harold Williams, organ- ist. The Monday chapel and Friday convocation will carry out the 1964 theme, "Make Music Your Keynote for Living." On Sabbadi afternoon, May 9, the Hour of Praise will feature vari- ous UC students in solo and group presentations. "National Music Week is a vol- untary expression of interest in mu- sic and reflects the desire of die friends of music to advance the art as a cultural contribution to educa- tion and to spread the enjoyment of music," stated Dr. Melvin Hill, chairman of Union's music depart- ment. 30 CLOCK TOWER November 14, 1963 Top: "Lucas" a cloy sculpture by Manuel Vasquez rests on music ond art—all a part of Koleidoscope.

GC Team Visits UC Affiliate Gemmell Represents Union A Union College affiliate, Antil- lian Union College in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, was visited by a Gen- eral Conference study group April 12th through April 16th. Each year Union College sends a representative to counsel and inspect the school. Union's main sphere of interest revolves around our affiliation with them on our former two-year elementary cur- riculum. Dr. Cecil Gemmell, chairman of die education department, rep- resented Union College; Elder E. E. Cossentine, secretary of the department of education for the General Conference, represented the General Conference; and Dr. Walton Brown, secretary of tlie de- partment of education for the Inter- American Division, represented the Inter-American Division. "At the close of our investiga- tion," Dr. Gennnell stated, "the college made a request for a closer affiliation in connection widi their proposed four-year program." Antillian Union College is tlie only Spanish senior college in the Inter-American Division. But pre- sendy they offer only a senior col- lege curriculum in education and religion. "The academy and college en- rollment now totals 284 students," said Dr. Gemmell. "Tlie school has made tremendous progress in its physical plant and academic struc- ture in tlie last two years." An alumnus of Union College, Samuel E. Cole, class of '49, is now serving as academic dean. Thyra Ellis Shows Machine-Reporting A machine-reporting demonstra- tion by members of the Stenotype Institute of Jacksonville Beach, Florida was presented in Chapel Monday, April 20. The Institute is owned and oper- ated by a Sevendi-day Adventist, Mrs. Thyra D. Ellis. She was accompanied in the demonstration by Cliet Palmer, a 1962 graduate of Campion Academy. Mr. Palmer passed the Institute's graduation test speed of 225 words per minute after 9% months of school. He is now reporting with the Thyra D. Ellis and Associates firm. Eugene Kilgore Joins Business Dept. Now Writing Mi. Thesis At Rutgers Eugene Kilgore will join the Union College business department next year, announced Dr. Paul Joice, chairman-elect of the de partment. SUC Visitors Arrive Give UC Once-Over Sou til western Union College sophomores, thirty-eight strong, ar- rived on die campus last Sundav to give Union a prospective look for next year. After the Texas visitors had reg- istered and had supper, they at- tended a Vesper Hour diat had been planned for them, in which Elder M. D. Hannah, their form- ei pastor and now the present pas- tor of the College View church, was the speaker. Monday's activities included a tour of the campus industries and a visitation of the classes in the field of their interest. Monday evening a special pizza party was given and was followed by the traditional basketball game be- tween the SUC visitors and the SUC alumni now attending Union. R. L. Britain, dean of men, con- ducted a tour of Lincoln for the group Tuesday morning. The tour ended with the SUC visitors having dinner in the cafeteria. Kilgore, manager of the New Jersey Book and Bible House since 1959, is now writing his thesis for the M.A. degree in economics at Rutgers University. "The addition of Mr. Kilgore will provide the necessary academic balance for the department," stated Dr. Joice. "His experience and degree will round out the oflerings necessary for a good cur- riculum." He will teach survey of business and the economics courses. After serving on the industrial staff of Mount Vernon Academy from 1948 to 1956, he received his B.A. in business administration from Washington Missionary Col- lege, now Columbia Union College in 1959. He is a native of Rochester, New \ork. He and his wife Imogene have one daughter, Donna Jeanne, age 14. KUEHL'S Midwest Health Food DI«tr.

Mrs. Ruth Robertson, the 23- year-old nurse, along with two army nurses worked without any days off those last two weeks. "He (MacArthur) was alert and his mind was clear until he slipped into that last coma," Mrs. Robert- son told her motner-in-law. "He was nev^r demanding. He talked a lot, about almost anything -sports, politics. "Mrs. MacArthur is a fine per- son—one of the most gracious ladies I've ever met. ' I know she was upset, but she kept herself under control at all times. "She kept herself busy and tried to keep up with t)ie mail and things that had to be dnne when the gen- eral was gone. "Those last few days were hard ones. The tension was high and the family was there so much of the time .... \V v worked so hard."

Now, I hate to be the one to burst anyone's bubble of creamy! dreams of the glory that will be j ours, but there is one improvement going forth on this beloved ground that I view with emotions not untinged with pure loathing. Lest someone label me "old- fashioned," "heretic," or worse, let me hasten to explain that I'm all for progress. Nobody, but nobody enjoys the electric can opener more than j ours truly, and the push buttons that adorn our age I view with [lure ectasv; but I do not care much for progress that ruins my view or brings me face to face with a solid brick wall. This is precisely what the new Rees Hall wing has clone to me. Time was when anyone living on the soudi side of the building gazed musingly upon die verdant green of a well-kept lawn; but to- day, if one can gaze at all, one's eyes rest upon a mixture of mor- tar and bricks widi no vestiage of beauh- which I call Rees Halls' by Joyce Morse answer to the Berlin Wall, unless, of course, to you beauty is a neatly arranged pile of brick held to- gether by some stud' that looks like concrete. It used to be that when my watch stopped and I needed to get the correct time, a dash to the window, a pull of the sash, a peak through the glass, and I knew im- mediately—I was 15 minutes late. Now, however, all that is changed. Mv watch stops and I wonder what time it is, so I hie myself to the window, peer furtive- ly through the drapes (diey are closed constantly now—construction problems, you know) and stare at the Berlin Wall. Now I realize that any good Master Guide (I'm still a Busy Bee) can tell the time by the sun- so I attempt it, decide I have 25 minutes left and arrive just in time for dismissal. (Yes, girls, I know there are clocks in die hall, but I LIKE to live dangerously.) Psychologically, tiiis wal is bad— at least it is for me (Psycholog- ically that is!) Let's say I have a problem (I have several, but one will suffice) and I have to solve it. Now, any good psychologist can tell you that one of the best ways to solve a problem is to widen your view. Shop Monday and Thursday 9:30 ajn. to 9:00 p.m. Other Days to 5:30 p.m. OF NEBRASKA "Go to the windows," they say, "look out upon the great wide world and find peace." So I listen to this piece of good advice and go to my window and look out upon a scene unsurpassed any- where—except in Berlin—the Wall. Mentally and emotionally I'm al- ready facing a stone wall and now as I gaze longingly out my rain- splattered window, I'm still fac- ing a wall. Do you realize what this can do to one! It just sets me back emotionally 20 years, that's all! And believe me, I can't afford it! People tell me that die wall is necessary. "New ahat kind of a ladies' dorniitor)' would it be," they ask me, "with no north wall- especially in the winter." I realize all this, I know they're absolutely right, and far be it from me to wish a draft)' abode on anyone. But, if some day, someone chances to walk between the new Hall and there finds a sane, sen- sible, but highly emotional co-ed niediodically hacking away at the bricks widi a fingernail file, just know diat I've had it. I can take no more. Don't call President Bieber, Miss Remley, or die Lincoln City Police just drop coins into the receptacle placed there for your conveniences. I may need it for die hospital bill, and besides I hear our tuition is going up next year. Dr. Archer Discusses Religious Liberty Drs. H. E. Westermeyer and R. K.

Mumps and Rain Highlight Sports The rain in particular and the lousy weather in general that we are having would be enough to make one content to just lie in bed and watch die ball game, un- less this was your 11th day of confinement to the same four walls and you hadn't seen the grass on the front lawn in what seems like years. Well fans, that's how it is when you feel that little pain in )Our jaw and you realize you just traded your softball spikes and glove for dicrmonicters, pills, and the mumps. The mumps diemselves don't really bother me as I had been told they would, but it's diat just lying there and doing nodiing but waiting and waiting. But fi- nally after 11 long days, in which time I saw 17 people and lost 10 pounds 1 think die doctor will let nic leave tomorrow. And now with the wealth of in- formation I gained from the play by Paul Gnadt on the diamond the last week and a half, I'm supposed to write an action packed sports article and let you know who's on first in UC softball circles. To tell you die truth I don't know and until I get out of diis room and see if I can throw a ball again, after rec- ognizing one, I don't really care. But 1 will tell you anyway cause I'm a nice guy. The rain has washed away most of die action since die leagues tried to open the schedule. Dupper led off the A league with a 10-3 victory over Fleming. The rest of Duppers' schedule since that win has been washed out. Fleming played Johnson to a tie, then pro- ceeded to beat Stevens. Stevens then beat Johnson. The A league games have all been close contests and thev are real crowd pleasers. You not only have to be an of- fensive softball fan to enjoy the B league, vou must also be a math- matician to keep up with die scores. It's like ever)' team is the San Francisco Giants except they play to the tune of scores like die San Francisco 49ers. Ed Connell's team seems to be the one to beat. It was Connell's team and Terry Kaiser's crew diat met in a battle witnessed by the visiting Academy and High School Seniors. A defi- nite mistake by die intra-mural de- partment, diese two teams played anything but softball.

Instead dies- saw a B league corned)' of errors diat would have made ole Abner Doubleday regret inventing the game. It was terrible. Anyway it looks like we're now paving for that wonderful football weather we had in October and November. All you farmers can have this rain, we want to play ball.

Another interesting statistic reported was that the percentage of Negro students enrolled in Oma- ha Technical High School had risen in recent years from 14 to 43',1. Featured speaker of the day was Dr. Glenn Archer, Executive Di- rector of Americans United (PO- AU). Dr. Archer mentioned in his address that he had spoken at many Seventh-day Adventist campineet- ings during recent years, including five straight yearly appearances at the Michigan canipmeeting, which has an annual attendance of ov er 12,000. Dr. Archer described the relig- ious situation in the world as cleat- 1) demonstrating that where the church was allied with the state it became weaker.

He told of efforts by Americans United in Kansas and Colorado to stop the employment of nuns in public schools.

Dolco Batteries Telephone 488-9903 "it Was Yesterday" MV Program Features with UC History Depicted Much of tlie history of Union ion College was brought to view in an MV program directed bv Ken Schelske in the College Auditorium Friday night, April 24. Mrs. E. N. Dick narrated "It Was Yesterday" as many scenes from Union's past were brought to life- still life, that is. The unique thing about the program was that each scene used real people and real props but everything stood motion- less just like wax works while nar- ration described the event. The first scene showed W. W. Prescott and the locating commit- tee discussing various possible sites for Union College. Then the audience was shown a delegation from Lincoln, Nebraska, meeting with this committee and finally winning their support. Other live 3-dimensional "pic- tures" included an early foreign mission band and productive re- sults. A more modern contribution of Union College was Dr. Dick's Med- ical Cadet Corps. These young men were portrayed in action during World War II. The vesper hour was depicted to show how Union's youth have felt through the years about Ves- pers.

Second Floor 4 CLOCK TOWER November 14, 1963 This Was The Man That Was A man of the hour came-now he is almost gone. Seven years ago Union was progressively growing. The physical plant was not deteriorated into shambles, but its president had retired from the field. David J. Bieber was chosen to carry on the work of leadership. The building and expansion program continued at the inherited rate. But this was foreseen as inadequate for the future. After many months of background study, The Ten- year Master Plan for the campus was announced. Now after two more vears of drawing and revising plans and locating funds, construction is set for the accelerated paec beginning this summer- However, we ale not materialistic enough to believe that the only success is measured in tangible physical growth. An unprecedented spirit of unity has welded the studentry and faculty together this year. There have been no riots, threats, nor boisterous appeals. This we believe is the fruitage of a strong leader who has recognized problems and remedied them before the acute stage. But now, rather than basking in the resort-like pleasure of student and faculty unity and a well-oiled construction ma- chine, President Bieber and his wife have chosen to accept another challenge-to help study and guide in the very signifi- cant future of our sister-La Sierra College. But wc need not despair, for we will have a new presi- dent, and he will be heir to an enviable situation. Union's Facets Incorporated Kaleidoscope has been described as a fe*vol of the arts \ good name, a fine idea, and even Nebraska s soppy weather haven't detrac ed from the festive atmosphere. Those in charge are to b, congratulated, those who con- tributed will be duly honored, and those of us who have wit- nessed have appreciated. Kaleidoscope is a welcomed new idea to Union. We have long suffered from thick tongued artless silence with only an occasional brilliance to slake our collective thirst. The very idea was considered an impossibility because of a mark- ed rcluctance on the students' part to participate. However, the facultys' use of class assignments won the day. Origirialitv in Adventist circles has always been woefully neglected. Sydney Allen in a recent column mentioned par- rot-ism as a disease on most college campuses. Union has certainly not been an exception. New ideas here are at a premium, not because they do not exist, but merely because laziness far cxceeds idealism. Now the problem is simply how to keep the ball rolling. First of all we would suggest that faculty keep their progative of chairmanship. Secondly, make the event noteworthy so that students will desire to contribute of their own volition. Third- ly, keep an open mind to suggestions. For instance the "Job Story" in Monday's convocation was a flop due to a number of things, but'primarily to the acoustics. A reading of that length is just too difficu't to portray under the exist- ing circumstances. As individuals God gave each of us particular talents and wc feel that it is a very real sin not to give these talents a bite of fresh air when the opportunity is offered. \ "My hu5bond has taken up 'people watching'" PEN PREVIEW Was Shakespeare a Naughty Man! by Sydney Allen Every once in a while a student involved in cultural interaction.

After a decade of considering the case for this protest against our schools, I am a firm adherent to a point of view which opposes it. auuvr pfteea EDITORIAL STAFF Ken!

A look at horror To a person born in a Christian Your Brother Minority by Ray Roth The chosen heroes -\f this earth have in the past been in the minor- ity. There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that we enjoy today, that was not bought for us b\ the blood and tears and patient sufferings of the minority. It is the minority that has stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the histon of this world. We notice that each generation has always been busy in gathering up the scattered ashes of thc martyred heroes of die past, to deposit them in the golden urn of a nation's histon-. Look at Scotland where they are erecting monuments—to whom? to the Covenanters. They were a minority whose history when read would make your blood run cold. Look at that girl, of whose innocent stata- gem the legend has come down to us, and see how persecution sharpens the intellect as well as gives power to faith. She was going to the con- venticle. She knew that the penalty for going there would be death if discovered. On her way she met a company of troopers. "My girl, where are you going?" they asked. She could not tell them a lie; she must tell the truth. To tell them she was going to the conventicle would mean death, and would at the same time reveal its place to these soldiers; and die lives of her friends would be endangered. "Let me go!" she said, "I am going to inv father's house. My elder brother is dead and he has left a will, and I am in it; and it is to be read today." "Go, ni_v girl," said one, "and I hope you will receive an equal portion." These were the minority, that through blood and tears and seourgings —dyeing the waters with their blood, and staining the heather with their gore-fought tlie glorious battle of religious freedom. Minority! If a man stands up for the right, though the right be- on the scaffold, while the wrong sits in tlie seat of government; if he- stands for the right, though he eat, with the right and truth, a wretched crust; if he walks with scorn in the by-lanes and streets, while falsehood and wrong ruffle it in silken attire,-let him remember, Uiat wherever thc right and truth are, there is almost always a minority, and God himself stands within the dim future, and keeps watch over His own! If a man stands for the right and the truth, Uiough every man's finger be pointed at him, though every woman's lips be curled at him in scorn, he stands in a majority; for God and good angels are widi him, and greater are they that are for him than all they that be against him!

This is the time even-one It feels awesome, sad, frightening has always been talking about when challenging, and wonderful home, insight into the situation of the unbeliever will often be lacking. The reading of Shakespeare can make one a better Christian, then, not urging one, explicitly in that direction, but bv giving one a glimpse of the horror of the non- Christian alternatives. A Christian who has had such a glimpse is a better Christian. If this is not so, why, then, does the Bible go to such explicit lengths to picture the agony of sinners? Well, I can hear someone say— isn't thc Bible enough? I would certainly agree that our schools ought to give the student a thor- ough knowledge of thc Bible story before they arc given a knowledge of Shakespeare. But, there mav come a time when a person will not listen to thc Bible but might listen to Shakespeare. Paul found such a situation on Mars Hill and did not hesitate to quote Greek pagen poets. Some people say this was a mistake, but if so, he con- tinued to make the same mistake, because he quoted a pagan poet to Titus in one of his last letters. We need scholars Adventists simply cannot accept tho current or classical canons of literary criticism. There is a tremendous need for literary schol- ars in our Church to develop a set of standards based on our own view of life as shaped by thc Scriptures interpreted with the help of Ellen G. White. This is what Mrs. White is getting at, I think, when she argued against the classical Latin and Greek cur- riculum for all students and when she argued in favor of die study of the Bible in our schools at all levels. If we expose our students solely to works which advocate ideas with which we agree, the more intelligent and critical among diem (i.e., die potential "great minds," spoken of as products of our sys- tem and leaders) will often deduce that we have done this because works which disagree with our position are so ovcnvhelminglv rational and convincing that we dare not let them know about them! This is an unfortunate implica- tion! Any view gained simply be- cause no other was made available is not held very solidly! Our schools ought to prepare students for life and we should follow thc example of the Bible by portraying both the good and bad aspect of life and thought. Now for a couple of good books.

The story of Harriet Bedell, who held such an office in the Protestant Episcopal Church as a worker among die Indians in Oklahoma, Alaska, and Florida is just as thrill- ing as any missionary story I know anywhere.
