CLOCK TCWOl Vol. XLI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, December 8, 1966 No. 10 Viet Nam Veteran Here Tonight To Promote UC Card Campaign (Photo by Bud Gooch) The Christmas star which has been placed on the Clock Tower is visible for several miles in all directions. J. C. Turner, superintendent of grounds, and Don Smith, maintenance super- visor, combined to place the star above the Clock Tower. Other campus decorations will be lit next Tuesday evening at the ASB Christmas tree lighting to be held on the campus lawn near the rock pile. Major Glen T. Beauchamp, who spent two terms of service in Viet Nam and returned this year, will tell of the life of the American soldier in Viet Nam, tonight at 6:45 in the gym. This joint worship is part of die second annual campaign to send Christmas cards to soldiers in Viet Nam which began here on Tues- day, Nov. 29. Last year Union College sent over 2000 cards to servicemen. This year Nebraska Wesleyan Uni- versity students, with student co- ordinator, Linda Witthalin, are uniting widi Union College in sending the cards. "The program grew last year out of die many protest movements on college campuses. Even though tiiese have died somewhat, we feel that encouragement for the service- men is still a necessity," comment- ed Jim Rosenthal, student coor- dinator of the project. Cards are being sold at the col- lege relations office during the day Missionaries to be Announced The announcement and dedica- tion of die two new student mis- sionaries will take place tomorrow night during the MV meeting in the church. The challenge of mission work will be presented by Roy Harris, instructor in religion, and by John FelkeJ. die present student mis- sionary, in a new tape he has sent. The Dec. 9 announcement of die new student missionaries is about two weeks earlier than last year's announcement just before Christmas vacation. Don Roth, chairman of the MV Student Missionary Committee, was in charge of the campaign to se- lect the student missionaries, but the actual selection was done by a special committee headed by Dr. R. W. Fowler, president of Union College. This committee met three times before deciding upon two names from die 25 who had ap- plied. The 15 member committee consisted of nine students and six faculty members who have a wide knowledge of die student body.

Names and addresses of Ad- ventist soldiers as well as all Ne- braska soldiers will be in die col- lege relations office. "The messages inside the cards can point to a number of different themes," says Kermit Netteburg. also student coordinator. "Natur- ally these men are lonely at Christ- inas time, so a note of encourage- ment is very good." "Another thing we will stress in the cards," Netteburg adds, "is the religious aspect of Christmas. Our cards will have a religious theme, and we hope that many of the mes- sages will remind the soldiers of [esus Christ." The campaign will close at the Christmas tree lighting to be held on the front lawn of the campus, Dec. 13. The cards will be collect- ed as part of the lighting ceremony. "Our goal is 2000 cards again this year," says Rosenthal. "But we should go over diat total." Now nine days old, the cam- paign is "going well" according to Netteburg. "Sales are actually bet- ter than we expected—close to 500 at the week-end." Junior Class Elects Officers were made available Oct. 23. By Nov. 8, 14 young ladies and nine young men turned in applications. (lasses Plan Parlies For Saturday Night The senior class will attend an ice hockey game in Omaha for their class party, Saturday night. Dec. 10. The game which will be played at Ak-Sar-Ben Arena will be between Omaha and St. Louis. A barn party is the juniors' choice for evening entertainment. The party will begin at 6:30 be- hind the administration building with a hay ride to the site of the party, a barn outside die city. Lar- ry Vandeman, class sergeant-at- arms, is in charge of the program, which will include group and folk singing. The sophomores' party, which will be held in the Christian Rec- ord recreation room, features the theme "King of the Road." Greg Wahlen, class president, encour- ages all sophomores to come dress- ed as "vagabonds." He explains that that is a more sophisticated term for 'hobo." The film, "When Comedy Was King," which features Charlie Chaplin and the Keystone Cops will be shown. "The Lonely Bull" is die name used for the freshman party, which will be in the gym and will fea- ture Mexican food and a general Mexican flavor. Activities for the evening include a Skit by Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Fike, a "bull fight" and a newsreel from 1901. Jan Schultz, a social science ma- jor from Topeka, Kan., was elected president of the junior class, Nov. 16. The other officers are vice-pres- ident, Marybedi Watkins, a home economics major from Jonesboro, La.; treasurer, Clyde Cooper, a chemistry major from Cortez, Colo.; sergeant-at-arms, Larry Vandeman, a theology major from Denver, Colo.; and secretary, San- dra Thayer, a secretarial science major from Gillette, Wyo. Bob Hol- brook, a theology major from Washington, D.C., is class parlia- mentarian and class pastor is Glen Gessele, also a theology major from Denhoff, N.D. The junior class officers on the Denver campus are Terry Harvey, president, and Marlene VanTuyl, secretary-treasurer. Sponsors for the class are El- don B. Christie, instructor in his- tory, and Dr. Rene Evard, profes- sor of chemistry. Lawrence Wig- gins, instructor in nursing, is the Denver campus sponsor. The early 7:20 meeting was at- tended by only 54 out of an ap- proximate 175 students classified as juniors. The junior class met a week earlier but because diere were only 35 present, a motion was made to postpone the election for a week in hopes that more juniors would attend.

DAN PAULIEN EDITOR BEVERLY BEEM MANAGING EDITOR KAKLA KRAMPERT ASSOCIATE EDITOR BILL BLISS NEWS EDITOR Cards -Make 3rLend3 For the second year Union College is sponsoring a cam- paign to send Christmas cards to American soldiers servingJn Viet Nam. Aside from the merit of such a project with which very few would argue, there is one aspect of this program which makes us especially happy. Union College is cooperating with Nebraska Wesleyan University for this campaign. Contact with students from the other educational institiuons in Lincoln has been neglected for too long by most Union College students. We would like to congratulate card campaign coordinat- ors Kermit Netteburg and Jim Rosenthal for taking this long- overdue step and establishing friendships beyond the limits of our campus. Qetting, Unzipped The CLOCK TOWER has run afoul of our government's bu- reaucracy. Circulation Manager Harvey Kilsby had made sure that we were following the Post Office's new regulation mak- ing it necessary to wrap all second class mail by individual zip code. The IBM 407 was programmed to print a label with just the zip code which was then affixed to a wrapper and put •around the CLOCK TOWERS destined for that zip code. Last week we received a call from a local postal official tasking us to please print the city and state along with each zip code. It seems the Post Office Department, which thought up the zip code idea in order to speed our mail along more effi- ciently has forgotten to teach its employees how to decipher the five-digit code. Cditor'd ^Notebook Next week, the CLOCK TOWER will print a six-page edition. This final issue before Christmas vacation will feature an ex- panded letters-to-the-editor section (your letter is welcome); the writing of Bobin Simmons, Norman Jarnes and Judy Nel- son; and the photographic talents of Bud Gooch. •jt D.

J. Fike Financial Advisor Dr. Paul W. Joice The editorial by Karen Altaian (Nov. 10, 1966) and the letter in the same issue by Eldin Ehrlich dealing with voluntary/compulsory attendance gives considerable food for thought and as an academy board member for many years I feel that a change of some kind is needed at both the college and academy levels. Just what that change should be is still questionable but one thing has impressed me through the years that I have been involved with the problem as a student in both academy and at Andrews where I slept through more 7:30 classes than I care to admit. That is the simple fact that by the time a student reaches acad- emy age, the patterns of his life are so well established that I ques- tion the value of trying to force more than a minimum of do-good- er effort down his rather reluctant throat. I think perhaps that there are compromises that would not be objectionable, but perhaps we are losing sight of some of the more important aspects of Christian ed- ucation. It is easy to quote scripture and E. G. White to support almost any position in a matter of this kind, but I recall an oft-quoted statement from the Catholic Church to the effect that "Give us a child until he is seven years old and he will be a Catholic for the rest of his life." I believe this statement and the fact that we lose about 80% of our own youth more or less points a stem finger of reality at all of us. It's a case of "too little, too late" for the 80%, and the odds favor the majority of students in our schools being in the 20% by the time they reach college. Not long ago, an academy stu- dent, discussing this subject with me, made the statement that the morning worships weren't worth THE BOOKSHELF getting up for, and I am inclined to feel that this may be part of the problem. I believe in morning and evening worship, but I prefer to be aware of my surroundings and able to appreciate what is being said, hardly a condition prevailing after a hard night's study or some other similar circumstance. My personal feeling is that morn- ing worship for most students is a near total loss for the above reason and that perhaps schedules being what they are, a selected word of wisdom and prayer for a few min- utes in the first couple of periods would be helpful, and a formal morning worship period discon- tinued. This should satisfy the rigid ritualists and the "law" if there be such and provide some- tiiing for those who would not take the time for personal morning de- votions. In today's high speed so-called civilization we may have to take a cold hard look at the facts of life and up date our worship traditions. In some schools, a first period chapel has solved (?) the problem but the fact remains that the ground work should have been laid 18 years or so ago. ROBERT FORMAN P.O.

BY JANICE ROSENTHAL After a close run between Wen- dell and Broderson in die women's volleyball league, there was a lot of excitement over die tournament which has been going on for the past two weeks. Broderson's team finally did come out on top in the league but Wendell's team put up a hard fight. Rosenthal played a close game widi Broderson losing by only two points in two games. Rosenthal's team then lost to Tyson after a three game match, thus eliminating them. Dobson lost to Avey and Broder- son being unable to score well at all. Wendell and Broderson played a very close game to determine who would play Avey for the championship. Broderson won by scores of 10-8 both games. Their team is very well organized and has excellent teamwork. Everyone was tense at die final game of the tournament last Thurs- day night. Broderson's team won both games, widi scores of 12-4 and 15-5. Avey's star player, Mar- ilyn Bounds, played an excellent game, but die team just couldn't seem to get together on dieir plays. Broderson's team looked like a championship team. Judy Broder- son herself was die lend player, doing an excellent job, and Sue Grubbs' good serves helped the team on to victory. ALICE'S CAFE Lincoln's Finest In Dining 4013 So. 48th BY J. WAYNE HANCOCK The Union College Band pre- sented its second concert of the year, Saturday night, Dec. 3. Under the direction of Dr. Mel- vin Hill, chairman of the music department, the band performed two large works of music along with several marches. Also fea- tured were student conductor Bar- bara Favorito and the trumpet trio, consisting of Brenda Christensen, Barbara Favorito and Larry Craw- ford. In commenting on the perform- ance Dr. Hill said, "I feel after conducting this concert that this is probably the best college band I have ever had die privilege of directing."

The discussion of the "extra 40 cents" was bantered between visit- ors and council members for some time. Finally it was summarized by council member Terry Dietrich. "The real issue is whether or not die extra amount will be spread among die banqueteers or die en- tire student body." Ann Jarnes, ASB Social-Cultural Committee chairman, proposed that the budget be accepted as it stands. The ASB will carry the additional cost per ticket. It was moved, seconded and carried unan- imously. ning was, "Suite of Old American Dances," a five movement suite by Robert Russell Bennett. The second large work perform- ed was "Tulsa" by Don Gillis, a descriptive piece of music telling of the settling of Oklahoma and the coming of the white man and the discovery of oil. This piece also described die struggles between the white man and the Indian. Spodighted in this work was the percussion section. "Crown Imperial" a majestic type work written purposely for the crowning of a queen of Eng- land was conducted by the student conductor Barbara Favorito. A Spanish number, "Flamingo Trum- pets" was played by the trumpet trio. The meeting concluded with an open discussion of sending a Union College delegation to the Model United Nations Assembly to be held next semester at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln. Robin Simmons, who was a del- egate to the Collegiate Council on the UN convention in New York City, explained some of the pur- poses and benefits in participating in this sort of activity. Councilman-at-large, Dick Mc- Carver, who voiced die original in- terest in the model UN assembly, was appointed to gather specific information as to cost and dates of the meeting and bring diis to the next Student Council meeting.
