This Week: Culver Almost Disappears, p. 1 SM Letter from Japan, p.2 Mega-Sports! p. 4-6 THE Union College Student Newspaper Vol. 60 No. 13 January 23,1986 Culver Warmed by Small Fire Before Christmas Break Early Sabbath morning of De- cember 15, residents of Culver Hall were told to leave the dorm by Tom Berg on account of a fire. Greeting them outside were two pumpers, a ladder company, a fire/rescue unit, a battalion chief, two police oars, an ambulance and other fire support personnel. The fuel for the fire two old mattresses that were being stored in a vacant room in an unused hall Dn second floor. Students heard a smoke alarm activated in the smpty hall and investigated. It vas then that the alarm was pulled and the Lincoln fire depart- ment responded in haste. The cause of the fire was not determined, but police conjecture that the fire could have been smoldering on or in the mattress for days without setting off the alarm. The room that the fire was in is to be locked as well as the hall fire door closing off the room from the rest of the second floor. Several students observed people that were strangers to second floor and possibly the college coming from the room and hall that the fire was in. During the fire alarm when students were being evacuated, some students refused to leave. They remained in the building while the fire department was involved at the scene. (It is the policy of the school not to forcibly remove the student from a build- ing where an alarm is sounding, but rather to urge the student to contemplate the consequences for themselves.) The majority of the students, however, exited the building in good time and smooth order. Damage was limited to the two mattresses that were charred. The room will have to be scrubbed and painted before it is to be used for use. Adjacent rooms may also be scrubbed to remove the smell of smoke. The hall carpet will be shampooed to rid it of the smoky smell and the debris ground into it during the dowsing of the fire. A dollar amount of damages is not availab- le, but is said to be negligible. There were no injuries. On a related note, if students should observe a fire, pull the alarm and dial '911' to inform emergency personnel of which building the fire is in. The college is not directly hooked up to the fire department, because of city ordinances, and relies on a notifying company to relay the information to the fire depart- ment. The notifying company does not have the equipment to isolate where the alarm was pulled and inform the fire depart- ment. Campion Brass to Perform for Sabbath Vespers The Campion Brass is drawn :rom Campion Academy's 70- member concert band. Membership in the ensemble is by invitation based upon auditions at the start of each school year. On behalf of Campion Academy, the Brass has toured extensively throughout Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. This is their first appearance at Union College and as the student members of the group are seniors, this is likely to be .their last as the Campion Brass. Stephen Hall is the director of he Brass and his wife, Gail, is a eatured vocal soloist with the Jrass. The Halls received Bache- or of Music Education degrees rom Andrews University in 1973, where after doing graduate work at Central Michigan University, Stephen received his Masters of Music Education degree. While at Andrews, Gail studied voice with James Hansen and Rudolph Strukoff. Following eight years of teach- ing at Cedar Lake Academy in Michigan, the Halls spent two years at Pacific Union College in Angwin, Calif, where Steve taught band and brass both for the college and prep school. Gail also taught, voice and choir, for both schools. This is the Halls' fourth year at Campion where Steve is the band, Brass and orchestra director. Gail teaches keyboard and is the school regi- strar. They have two children, Jennifer, 10, and Amanda, 6. Special Vespers Concert College View Church, 5 pm Opinions Editorial: Anyone Can Be Average; It Takes Talent to be Stupid.... Have you ever been amazed at the humor in people? I can't get over how absolutely incredible it is to observe people act or react in the most (and the only word to fit here is...) hilarious fashion. Oh, I don't go out of my way to watch people be stupid—they have a habit of doing it on their own, and quite well, thank you. And I don't mean "stupid" in the hateful sense of the word that you gave to it when you told your playmate (when you were about six or seven or nineteen) that they were stupid. I prefer the meaning, "Boy, after observing the obvious around you, you deserve what you got." Still not in the hateful sense of the word, rather a word that will let out some frustration because I can't fall to the ground and laugh hysterically in your face.

After being told that there is a fire in your residence dorm, you should: A) evacuate immediately; B) leave after calling your girl- friend to meet you outside and bring marshmallows; C) refuse to leave the building for whatever reason, like you don't want to. There were some students who would not leave Culver Hall during the fire before Christmas break. Granted the fire turned out to be measley and basically unexciting, but when that puppy burns to the ground because the fire wasn't that small, then see who laughs last. Thinking of what to do with uncooperative people in situations like that can lead to a lot of laughs provided you're with people in the same thought pattern. Case number two.... No Letters Dear Union College Students, Thank you for the Airogramme letter. It was great to hear from so many of you. Also thanks to "Rufus" and Jill Downey for keeping us SM's informed. It's great to get tetters from people at home. As I read the letters from Bob Nobuhara and Laurie Edwards, I felt a slight twinge of guilt. It just seems that they are sacrificing more than I am. (Except for that diving, Bob.) Not that I don't sacrifice, I do. Now I have to listen to Monday night football on a short wave radio instead of watching it on T.V.! And all the games are played on Tuesday morning here. There are times when I honestly do not feel like a missionary here in Japan. I had always thought (before coming to Japan) that being a missionary meant sacrificing bodily comfort for the cause of God. Here the only real discomfort I've felt has been cooking for myself. Either my conception of being a mission- ary was wrong or things have improved over the years. I am being kept busy though, after all, this is Japan. I think I've discovered why this country is so successful, they work. Someone somewhere coined a phrase that goes like this; parking signs went up last Thurs- day or Friday telling people not to park on Prescott Street on Mon- day. At the unrealistic hour of 8:30 am, cars were being towed. More than one individual provid- ed entertainment trying to persuade the police that they either didn't see the signs or that the officers had questionable heritage in rather animated fashi- ons. Try to resist the temptation to hit the knees in total laughter and you can't. The third case isn't mocking anyone, it's just one of those things that may happen in a basketball game to anyone. As a player spies that they have a free approach up the slot for an easy two points, the opponent casually sticks out a foot and trips the would-be scorer. The manner in which the tripee ate the wood sent "Nothing works like work". I'm convinced the Japanese have adopted that phrase. Last year Ed Moore told us in class that the key to being a successful student missionary is being flexible. He was right. So far I've done many things that I never expected I would do and some that I am not qualified to do. But people here don't seem to know or care if you are qualified to do a job. They just see an opening to fill it. I teach are here to fill it. I teach con- versational English, group and private Bible classes, Sabbath School, preach and help with Revelation seminars. This quar- ter I've also been put in charge of "remodeling" the school. That includes cleaning walls, ceilings, floors and painting the inside. Also this quarter I've been asked to direct a choir. That's right— Ray Pelto is in charge of a choir. I told you I was doing things I wasn't qualified for. Flexibility. I live with 8 other people in a two apartment com- plex. Seven Americans and one South African - no demonstrations please. It's great to have the English speaking company, but there are times when our flexibili- ty is truly flexed. But in all reality, all of my "roommates" are great people. a few friends and me into hysterics watching the scene over and over in our minds and then trying to title or caption the scene. Five minutes may not seem a long time, but it is if your eyes have run out of tears and your stomach and side cannot take anymore laughter. So, ok, maybe "stupid" is harsh, but only in sound. In my dictionary, I am pointed back to the word "stupor" which denotes "mental confusion; daze". That is where the humor comes in. But you have got to share it. And Idon't mean it in hateful way. If you can share the exerience with the experiencee (and share a laugh), then do it. T.B. If you've ever thought aboui being an SM, I want to encourage you. There is a need for dedicatee1 SM's here in Japan, as well as many other countries. And don'i worry about the fact that you maj not be qualified, for where we art the weakest God is the strongest And if you've never thought aboui being an SM, think about it. The experience is well worth the occasional loneliness, the lack oi mail (thanks Debby and B.J. foi writing) or the occasional cultura misunderstanding. Until next time, this is Raj Pelto saying, "Good-bye fron Osaka, Japan." P.S. Make some time anc write! Page 2 LINCOLN 5500 "O" -1407 "Q" GRAND ISLAND 2325 N. Webb Rd.

Phonation Surpasses Goal— Raises Over $70,000 Union College's fourth Annual Fund phonathon has surpassed its goal of $70,000. Students, local Institutional Advancement alumni, faculty and staff telep- honed 2,088 alumni during November 11-25 and raised $71,079 for the college's Annual fund. Approximately 26 percent of this year's Annual Fund dona- tions was contributed through the phonathon. The remaining dol- lars will be collected through personal solicitations and mail- ings. The total amount projected to be received from alumni is $184,000, which will be put toward the overall Annual Fund goal of $380,000 for 1985-86. If the amount is reached, Union College will receive $26,000 from the Business Executives Chal- lange to Alumni (BECA). BECA is the college grant program which sets the alumni giving criteria to be met by Adventist colleges nationwide. Colleges who meet the specified criterion will receive pre-determined amounts of monies from BECA to help them fund their programs. The money from this year's Annual Fund phonathon will fund scholar- ships; renovation of the student service centers and the Fine Arts building; Kiddie Kol- lege; and Union's Center for Christian Growth. Dino has done it again! Regal Reign is a marvelous album, full of joy, worship, praise, and love. by Cindy Tachenko Dino is a charismatic and capti- vating performer, and listeners will quickly become caught up in the jubilation of his music. Each song on this effort is a winner. The arrangements of "The Holy City", "Via Doloro- sa", and "And He Shall Feed His Flock" bring new excitement to these traditional favorites. Sensi- tive and subdued background instrumentation enhances rather than overpowers Dino's artistry. Regal Reign offers music that penetrates the heart and soul. Karol Rich to Sing For Vespers on Friday Night On Friday evening, January 24, Union College is pleased to welcome sacred recording artist, by Nichole Parks Karol Rich to the Friday evening vespers program.

"To me,", says Rich, "My last two albums are bonuses from the Lord Jesus...who just so happens to be my best friend as well as Lord and Savior." This album will provide old and new Dino fans hours of listening enjoyment and maybe even a few goose bumps. Available now at the Campus Store! Minutes of the ASB Senate are available at the ASB Desk in the Student Center for public reviewal. They are bound in a notebook for easy access. For further informa- tion, contact Debbie Chit- tick.

B-Ball Boomin' and Jammin'! Even though the faculty b-ball team suffered a loss in its season opener, they'll still contend for the league title. They're getting a well-balanced scoring attack with Forbes, Dickerson and Barker, and always show more poise than the other teams.... David Thiele has established himself as quite a 3-point marksman....The women's league looks balanced, but look for Krueger and Sloan to battle for the #1 spot....Cornforth's team is small, but led by their spirited point guard, Shelly Hedger, they could be a surprise....Cheri Car- rick pumped in 11 points in her initial game at UC on a variety of jump shots....The new 3- point line (in 6-8 inches from the first couple of games) will open up the 3-Man Volleyball/B-League game. The threat of the outside shots should open up the lane a little bit. The second semester athletic calendar's first event was the Schick Super-Hoop 3-on-3 Basket- ball Tourney. Thirteen men's and four women's teams entered, with games beginning on Jan. 7. The girl's tournament ran through Jan. 9 with the championship team con- sisting of Jill Swanson, Terri Schlegel, Tracy Fenwick and Judy Sloan going undefeated. In the men's competition, the battle went into overtime with the team com- posed of Mark Murray, Devin Scott and Robert Laing emerging victors. All entrants received razors from Schick and the cham- pions and runner-up received overnight bags and sport bags. 3-Man Volleyball/A-League W L TPts. W L TPts.
