Vol. XXXIV £ I a r tSy§l® u w r r UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, January 18, 1962 No. 8 Hegslad Promotes Religious Liberty Elder Hegstad is scheduled to speak in M.V. Friday evening and for both church services January 27. Danny Fausset, president of the religious liberty club, said that a special discussion group is also planned for 3:45 Sabbath after- noon in the South Hall worship room. Fausset said that one of the pur- poses of Hegstad's visit is to show that Liberty magazine can and should be used more as a tool. Elder Hegstad will also be visi- ting several workshops being con- ducted ins the Central Union. Union To Be Featured On K0LN-TY Series Television station KOLN-TV in Lincoln has given to Union College two 30-minute programs in the "From the Campus" series. The first Union College program will be on Sunday, February 18. It will be a film featuring student life at Union. Mr. William Rankin, instructor in speech and English, is director of the filming on campus. Current plans are to have the film include pictures of many of the depart- ments, both educational and in- dustrial, in action. All of the departments have been contacted, and facts about their students, instructors, and courses have been gathered. These facts are being worked into the script by Mr. Verne Wehtje, instructor in English. The filming will be done in the next two or three weeks. The pictures will then be edited to fit the script. Aside from the tele- vision program, this film will also be used in campmeeting promo- tions this summer. The objective of this program will be to project to the public the image of Union College as a sound educational institution of- fering spiritual training along with general studies and a study-work program. Other Nebraska colleges co-op- erating with KOLN in the series arc Nebraska University, Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney, Doane College, Nebraska Wesley- an, and Hastings College. The second Union College pro- gram will come in April, but no definite plan,s for subject or con- tent have been made.

Kern page 2 CME Acceptances page 3 Program Log page 3 Polluted Thinking page 4 Yl Prints Stories By Campus Authors Tho Youth's Instructor has re- cently published stories written by three Union College students. Cecil Franklin, a math major who graduated last year, wrote "The Shadows are Never Lifted" as a class project in Creative Writ- ing taught by Verne Wehtje, in- structor in English. It was pub- lished in the January 2 issue. "Because They Cared", pub- lished in the January 16 issue, was written last year by Karen Lair in Freshman Composition under Mrs. L. W. Welch. In the December 26, 1961 issue, "Determination" by Clayton Sher- man was published. It was written for an academy project. Supper Dates Scheduled For Tuesday Evenings Donald Tan, ASB president, and Miss Ruth Whitfield, director of the college food service, have ac- cepted a recommendation, from the Student Staff Council for an open supper night every Tuesday even- ing. The first open supper evening was January 9. This action means that each person may choose his companions for supper. A group of four may sit at one table if they come as a group and inform the person directing the seating. A couple may occupy one table if they so desire, but it would be preferable if two couples occupy one table, says Miss Whit- field. The party rooms will be avail- able for a group with a minimum of six if arrangements are made at least one day in, advance with Miss Whitfield. Adventure Film Slated For Jan. 27 Program "Northward to Adventure," a personally narrated adventure pro- gram, will be featured at 8:15 p. m., Saturday, January 27 in the Union College auditorium. John Ebert's color motion pic- ture has been rated third among tho top ten by a national survey of illustrated lectures. It is a story of a 10,850 mile camping and moun- taineering expedition from Iowa to Mount McKinley National Park in Alaska. This program is being sponsored by radio station KVUC. All net proceeds will go for new station equipment which is "badly need- ed" according to one of the an- nouncers. "This is to be Mr. Ebert's sec- ond appearance on campus;" Mr. William Rankin, instructor in speech and English said. "He is be- ing invited back because he was so well liked." Wally Shultz, announcer for KVUC, exclaimed, "I thought the program was terrific. I would miss my home leave over semester break to see Ebert again." Band Concert Climaxes Music Emphasis Week A Winter Concert by the Union College Winds will conclude the current Music Week program series this Saturday evening. Directed by Dr. Melvin Hill, music de- partment chairman, the group begins its performance at 8 in the auditorium.

Hi program of music week. as they will appear in their first formal House Report Simplification Needed, Says Advisor Dr. Welch The House of Representatives is doing its best this year, said Dr. L. W. Welch, dean, of student af- fairs, but its procedures need to be simplified. Linda Lair believes that the House is getting things done. "Of course," she says, "some people sit and never say anything, but enough do get up and speak that we do get some business done." Buddy Borris, speaker of the House, said that, "Many times, all we have to do is mention something that needs to be done and bring it to the attention of the proper person, and it's taken care of im- mediately." A good example of this is the new mat in the girl's entry to the cafeteria. The minutes of the meetings re- veal that some business has been done. They elected the Supreme Court at the beginning of the year, and since then, many various com- mittees have been elected. The latest suggestions have been for a mat in the girl's entry way to the cafeteria, for meal prices and menus to be posted each day, and for a travel bulletin to be set up to help riders and drivers discover each other at vacation time. Richard Booker, chairman of the meal menus and prices committee; reported that he couldn't do any- thing until the bill was passed by the administrative council, so noth- ing had been donp yet. Dr. Welch said, "I think thev are trying real hard. The chairman has worked diligently to accomplish his purposes. Don Tan has worked hard to help, and the members are trying to make something of it, but they still have some problems." He continues, "The technical procedures required to get business don,e effectively are too great. They need to be simplified, and they could be improved greatly by mov- ing in the direction of a Student Council. This is just one solution that looks to me like it might' be helpful." In MS Contests The Union College Chapter of the American Temperance Society is sponsoring four contests this spring. Milton Erhart, chairman of the contest committee, announced the dates as follows: Poster—March 2; Jingle-March 9; Essay—March 23; Oratorical—April 1. Prizes will be offered for each of these events. The first prize Ora- torical winner will receive a free trip to Washington, D.C. Students questioned gave several reasons for entering an,y of these contests. Jane Nowack, last year's Oratorical winner, thinks Temper- ance activities are a good way to make money. Jane also listed her liking for speech and writing and tho desire to practice these hobbies as another of her reasons for en- tering the contest. Interest in the subject or a good idea, fun, and the chance to win also received votes as reasons to enter these con- tests. "Our real purpose in promoting these contests is the value these materials are to our Temperance Education Work. The entries give the Temperance leaders ideas, vis- ual aids, and helps in carrying on his work," said Erhart. "Most of all they keep us well aware of the Temperance work here on our cam- pus." This year's club is especially trying to do work in the communi- ty, and these contests will be added help toward Christian service. Remodeling, Repairs Progress In Fire-Damaged Music Hall Fire in the Union College Music Hall caused extensive smoke and steam damage over 100% of the building on the evening of Jan- uary 3, as students were returning from Christmas holidays. Duane Kruger, a 1961 graduate, sounded the alarm at 9:30 p.m. and three city fire trucks came to the scene. "Spontaneous combustion was the apparent cause, as flames began in the first floor janitor closet, where oily mops and rags were stored," said Dr. Melvin S. Hill, music department head. The actual fire was contained in the janitor closets on first and second floor. But the smoke and steam were circulated by the ven- tilating system, Hill continued. Vernon S. Dunn, business man- ager, said there will be no ac- curate estimate on the loss until a complete investigation is con- ducted. "However, the loss could be $10,000, $20,000, or perhaps high- er," he said. "Damage was com- pletely covered by insurance ex- cept for a few personal items of tho instructors," Dun,n commented. Dr. Hill said that city firemen believed that the concrete and steel construction saved the build- ing from total loss. Tremendous quantities of heat were generated, but flames could not spread. The $17,000 pipe organ installed last year appears to be undamaged, although the organ manufactures haven't seen it yet, said Dr. Hill. The pipes, which have collected considerable dirt, must be cleaned, and the walnut finish re-oiled. The building will be completely redecorated before it is reopened for classes, according to Dr. Hill. Tho remodeling previously sched- uled for this coming summer will also be done at this time. The receptionist's area will be rebuilt with a new desk and loung- ing area in the decor of Rees Hall lounges. Acoustical ceiling material will bo replaced, new electrical fixtures will be installed, and the entire interior of the building will be repainted. Some electrical wiring and heat- ing ducts in the west part of the building must also be replaced. Meanwhile, students arc attend- ing classes at various scattered places in the campus area. Students returned from Christmas vacation January 3 to see smoke and steam pouring from Engel Hall. The blaze caused an estimated $10,000 damage. CLOCK TOWER January 18, 1962 E. Kern First World MV Leader M. E. Kern, '98, Dies by Dr. E. N. Dick Research Professor in American History Word has reached the college that M. E. Kern, the man for whom the Kcm Courts housing unit was named, passed away a short time L"'0 Professor Kem, as he was so well known throughout the denomination, was a loyal Unionite, and his contributions to the Ad- ventist church brought great credit to his alma mater. Milton, a green country boy from Mis- souri, was one of the 73 students who reg- istered at Un^on College the day she opened her doors, September 30, 1891. Emest and purposeful, he was receptive to the ideals of the new college, and dur- ing the second year of school when a little group of students organized a voluntary prayer band in the cold, unheated attic of North Hall, young Milton was among the number. Out of this grew the first foreign mission band of Union College. When Kem's class, 1898, was in its senior year, the members wanted to do something by which they would be remembered. Since the class of 1896 had placed a rock bearing a plate marked '96 on the front cam- pus, the class of '98 decided to outshine them and place a whole pile of rocks there. Finding an especially large one, they decided to make a base of smaller stones and place the mammoth one on this. In this way the famed "rock pile" originated. Established Golden Cords Upon graduation Milton accepted the principalship of the College View public school. It was while teaching this school, almost entirely Adventist in attendance, that he started the College View public li- brary. He initiated his crusade by having a debate in his school on the proposition that College View should have a public library. The chil- dren carried home the enthusiasm thus inculcated and the matter soon became the talk of the town. The town council at first scoffed at the idea but eventually agreed to vote a small tax. Volunteers aided in the work and in time the li- brary was installed in the waiting room of the local dentist's office. From that grew the Carnegie public library located on the southwest comer of the campus. In 1901 tlie Union College board invited Kem to become dean of men and history teacher. He taught secular and also New Testa- ment history. As a result of this experience, he wrote the New Testa- ment history textbook which was used in Adventist academies for a generation. One day in the spring of 1906 die treasurer of the senior class, J. P. Anderson, asked Professor Kem for a suggestion. He was seek- ing ideas for a class gi^t. To Professor Kem goes the credit for the original suggestion of a map to which cords could be attached to in- dicate the whereabouts of missionaries who had formerly been stu- dents. Thus was bom the idea of the golden cords, Union's greatest tradition. The college usually sent Professor Kem to attend camp meetings and visit the homes of the people to recruit students each summer. He became so interested in youth and was so well received by the people diat the Central Union Conference asked him to care for the young people's work in addition to his college teaching. Seminary President In 1907 when the General Conference Young People's Mission- ary Volunteer Department was founded, he was elected world leader and organized and molded that work. During the school year 1907- 1908 the General Conference MV office was in the building just east of where the U.S. post office was located until December of last year. A young lady, recently graduated from Union, acted as secretary and ran die office with occasional direction from Elder Kern. In the spring he moved to Washington, taking the office with him. He served as world leader of Adventist youth until 1930, the longest period leadership in die history of the department. While he was carrying this responsi- bility, ho also served for four years—1910 to 1915-as president of tho Washington Foreign Mission Seminary, now known as Columbia Union College. Ho served as secretary of the General Conference from 1933 to 1936. In 1934, when the church was starting the Seventh-day Advent- ist Seminary, he was asked to take charge of this project also. Even- tually this became a full-time job. He dropped his work as secretary in 1936 and continued at the seminary. For nine years during the for- mative period of diat institution he served as president. While a student at Union, Professor Kem, met his life companion, Miss Floy Pierce, who through the years worked by his side and as- sisted him in the endeavors which brought success to him in his leader- ship. Their daughter, Geneva Kem Alcorn, also a graduate of Union College, is a faculty member at Lynwood Academy in California. Factory Purchases $15,000 Sander; WiH Save On Labor, DeVice Says Furniture parts are sanded eight times faster with the new sander that the Union College furniture factory has recently purchased, than with old, conventional methods. "This new sander not only sands 70 feet per minute, compared to eight feet per minute formerly," reports R. J. DeVice, general man- ager of the College Furniture Man- ufacturers, "but it also does two sanding jobs in one. It replaces both the old drum sander and stroke-sander." DeVice explained that the Yates American, three-belt, oscillating, endless-bed-sander is the latest development in furniture sanding. "Even though this new sander cost about $15,000," continued DeVice, "it should pay for itself in three years." "It not only saves $3,600 on labor, $1,000 in sanding belts, and the cost of the depreciation of a $7,000 stroke sander each year, but it also saves one half of the cost of operating the old drum sander. "Besides saving on, operating cost, the three-stage sander, with the combined action of belt and drum sanding, will produce a su- perior finish with much faster overall production," he concluded. Mrs. Margret Klien, with the help of two or three girls, usually operates the sander. Often two persons "feed" the machine and three persons "tail" it. Mr. George Draper and Mr. Paul Pierson are the mill-room foremen in charge of operation of the new machine.

Sounds Of Music Are Everywhere Since Practice Rooms Abandoned by Betty HiUs The music hall stands silent. No more musical medleys of voices, pianos, saxophones, or various other instruments drift through die win- dows to the population, outside since die building has been aban- doned. But if you are observant, you'll know that die music majors are still around. You just have to hunt a little bit harder to find them since diey are now practicing in a dozeq or more different places. This doesn't mean you can't hear them, it just means that you don't know where die noise is coming from! Students are using six practice rooms in Bancroft Courts and two in Kerr} Courts that were set up in empty apartments. They are prac- ticing anywhere diey can find a piano, organ, or play their instru- ments without too much opposi- tion. Hard On Listeners It's not only inconvenient for the music student, but also wearing on the listeners. Doris Miller and Sharon Smidi complain, "It's terrible! We're al- ways running back and forth from the annex about ten times a day." Sharon related, "One day I had a class in the annex and a music lesson the next class period over there, and I was so happy because I had two periods in the same place. And that was tlie day I would leave my music in the dorm!" Another music studen,t honestly declares, "It's hard enough to force Senior Student Nurses Finish Baby Care Class Senior nursing students on the Colorado campus are completing an instructor training program in mother and baby care from the American Red Cross. The instructor training course is "usually restricted to graduate reg- istered nurses and is rarely made available to students of nursing," reports Miss Amanda Sloane, as- sociate professor of nursing. On completing diis course the nursing students will be authorized bv tho Red Cross to teach classes in. mother and baby care. The group has completed an instructor's course in tho care of the sick and injured given by the Red Cross. Future plans in working with the Denver Red Cross include an instructor's course in First Aid and teaching assignments in the fields of study, says Miss Sloane.

In the courts, the howls come from those who have to live there. "I'll tell you what I think of it," said an occupant nervously, "It's driving me and my roommates in- sane!" It also works die other way. It seems as if Bill Baker's practice session has been interrupted re- peatedly by someone on the other side banging on the wall. Clarinet Next Door One resident of South Hall was overheard remarking to another, "At least you don't have a clarinet living next to you!" Some have the fatalistic attitude like Gwen Husted. "It's kind of a mess, but there's not much we can do about it." Dr. Melvin Hill, music depart- ment head, pleads, "Bear with us another month.

Martin Luther's writings in rare editions published during his life- time fonn the greater part of a new Reformation Collection of bound tracts and pamphlets re cendy added to the Andrews Uni versify Library. Twenty-two of the 34 volumes, some of which cncloso several separate tracts, are of Luther's writings. One of these books, Luther's A Christian and Well-founded Proof of the Judgment and of Its Signs, and That It Is Not Far Off (trans- lated title), was once owned by Ludier's own monastery at Wit tenberg. "When one considers that these tracts were printed less than one- hundred years after the invention of printing by movable type, he really appreciates the clearness of the type and the beauty of the printing," reflects Mrs. Mary Jane Mitchell, University Librarian.

Danberg, regional director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, in the December 15 chapel. "There are three great revolu- tions going on in the world today," said Dr. Danberg. "They are the revolution between the have and the have-nots, the technological revolution, and the communist rev- olution. But diere is still a greater revolution and its outcome will greatly affect if not decide tlie out- come of the other three. It is the revolution of human relations. "The greatest asset diat Ameri- ca has in human relations is her missionaries," continued Dr. Dan- berg. "They present the greatest thing in the world, the love of God the Father and the love of man. People of different groups must work together as brothers with an "open hand of love," not as en- emies with a "fist of hatred," the speaker urged. "Brotherhood is essential in good human relations." "Union College makes an effort each year to present to the student body several speakers widi other religious viewpoints," said Dr. George L. Caviness, academic dean- brato collection. Two hispid pocket gophers and a hog-nosed skunk were also collccted. The field zoology class, taught by Mr. A. E. Perry, instructor in biology, consisted of: sophomores Rollin Bland, Roger Frick, Mutuku John, Duano Smith; Academy sen- ior Dean Jones; and college junior Ed Starkey. The main highlights of the trip included: watching a Christmas Evo celebration, seeing the water falls near El Salto, spending two nights in Mexico City, and seeing tlie Indian ruins of El Tajin near Posa Rica. "I believe it's the greatest thing Union College has ever sponsored," chemistry major Duane Smith said, "and all mammalogy students should take the trip for their own benefit." Most of the time the class camp- ed out and prepared their own meals, which consisted mostly of tropical fruits, canned goods, "raw and burned potatoes," said Smith. On Christmas day the class went swimming at El Salto falls, ob- served birds, set out about 600 traps in the evening and went hunting at night. During a two-day delay in Mexico City because of car trouble, most of the students went sight seeing an,d bought souvenirs. "I diink we learned a lot more from handling and preparing the animals than one would in a class- room." said Melvin Lake, a biology major. "You also leam a lot when you travel in another country and see how odier people live."

New plans were made for extended activities at the regular club meetings on Wednes- day, January 10. Ono of the larger items of busi- ness coming up now is die elec- tion of new officers for the second semester. Most clubs hold elec- tions, although for some the same officers remain active for an entire school year. Ministerial Conference The Ministerial Association heard a talk from Elder C. R. French, Nebraska public relations secretary, on tho importance of correct press and radio relationships. "There is a real power in press and radio," he said, "but we must be sure it is used in the correct way." Nurses Club The nurses' club has finalized plans to join district three of the Nebraska State Student Nurses' Association, Kathleen Lund, presi- dent, reported. They are also planning to raise money for Project Hope, a large medical ship which sails the coast of the South Seas giving aid to the islands and countries there. Teachers of Tomorrow The Teachers of Tomorrow Club has passed a constitution which will govern the activities of the club reports Warren Thomas, presi- dent. At the next regular meeting a member of the Lincoln school system will be the special guest speaker. He will lecture on some of the problems that face the school systems of Lincoln. SPORTS "A" League Basketball Teams Organize For Winter Games by Dan Duff Santa Claus, vacation, and the New Year's bowl games have come and gone. Semester exams wait around the comer. In bowl games, Alabama, the nation's first ranked team, won the Sugar Bowl; Louisiana State de- feated Colorado of the Big Eight in the Orange Bowl; Texas beat Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, and Minnesota beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl. If you watched your TV closely during the Cotton Bowl, you might have seen Ed Connell rooting for Texas. I was unable to, aldiough Ed said he would stand up and wave. If Ed looked happy on his re- turn from vacation it was because Texas came through. It appears certain that Nebras- ka's new football coach will be Bob Devaney from Wyoming. The Wyoming University Board of Re- gents has not released Devaney from his contract yet. If Dr. Rene Evard has been easier in his chemistry exams late- ly it is because the chem depart- ment volleyball team retained the intra-mural championship. The chem team got an assist from the biology department who defeated the P.E. team in the final round of games. Prior to this round chem and P.E. were tied. Tlie intra-mural basketball sea- son is underway. Two practice games have been played in the "A" league and the regular season be- gins after the semester break. It looks as if basketball may be on the upswing at Nebraska. The Cornliuskers have two wins and a loss in Big Eight league play. In- ability to win road games has plagued Comhuskers in recent years. If coach Jerry Bugh's team can win road games they should finish high in the Big Eight Con- ference. The UC gymnastics team open- ed its exibition season with dem- onstrations at the sports social. The first tour for the team begins Feb- ruary 8 and includes exibitions at Platte Valley Academy, Campion Academy, and Denver Junior A- cademy. Byron Bradley was chosen to serve as this year's team cap- tain. Bradley's specialty is the trampoline.

Eager to "get onto the ice," students and faculty members be- gan to line up about 30 minutes early for the A.S.B. skating partv. Events of the evening included a hockey game, a period of skating for ladies only, a period of skating for men only, several "skates" for couples, and plenty of time for the "all skate." Frosted cake doughnuts and hot chocolate were served by the A.S.B. social committee under the direc- tion of Edwina Jay as chairman. Roy Colson and Bob Camp were tho hockey team captains. Colson's team won 4-0. Members of Colson's team were: Jerry Thayer, Wayne Judd, Leslie Kirkegaard, Doug Anderson, Floyd Andersen, Roger Anderson, and Jim Cassidy. Camp's team included Larry Misenko, Jerry Aitken, Ronnie Knapp, Wayne Anderson, Pierce Marco, and Perry Hart. "Boy, that was nothing but plain work,' remarked Rollin Bland, as ho spoke of the evening's activities. "But I surely enjoyed it." "It would be fun if I could only keep my ankles straight," added another student who was just com- ing off the skating rink.

Sponsors Lecture Reading Group The lectem reading group spon- sored by the speech department met for die first time January 10. Mr. William Rankin, head of the speech department, has been work- ing to promote the lectem reading group. "The purpose of the group is for the students' improvement and en- joyment in reading," said Mr. Ran- kin. Members of the group will pre- pare dialogues, plays and readings to be given before the group for criticism.

Reports on acceptances into the school of dentistry have not yet been released. Strieker And Burbach Involved In Accident Out of the many thousands of miles recently traveled by Union College students, just one accident resulted in injuries. On January 2, as Ted Strieker and Rodney Burbach were re- turning to the college, die car in which they were riding blew out a tire and overturned. Both were taken to the Way- noca, Oklahoma, hospital, where they were treated for injuries. Ted was released that day but Rodney was held for observation and later transferred to a Shattuck hospital. Ifc was released Friday, January 12. CoSiege Network System Urged By Station KVUC A radio network is now being proposed by the UC radio station that will serve six Adventist col- leges across the nation. The coast to coast network's aim will be to co-ordinate the radio stations owned and operated by Seventh-day Adventist institu- tions. The network is to be called CBN, the Collegiate Broadcasting Network. The name was proposed by Dave Young, sophomore theol- ogy major and assistant organizer of CBN. Dany Eads, sophomore speech major, is acting as a co- organizer, and Mr. W. I. Rankin, instructor in the speech department is die adviser. Pacific Union College, La Sierra College, Southern Missionary Col- lege, Columbia Union College, and Emmanuel Missionaiy College arc now being contacted. It is hoped that these colleges will be in favor of exchanging technical and programming ideas. CBN is also planning to have a program exchange system set up among the college stations in the near future. Ceiling Lowered KVUC lowered the ceiling in the main studio and control room during Christmas vacation. The purpose of the remodeling was to create better acoustics. Tom Tally, senior religion major and engineer at the station, did the remodeling work. He said, "It helps the acoustics about 30%." A horizontal partition was placed about six feet below the actual ceiling. It was finished with acoustical tile. A flourescent lamp replaced the old globe-type light. Tally said that a paint job was next in line on the remodeling program. Early Birds Dorm students are waking each weekday morning with the help of a new morning radio program on KVUC, "At Dawn with Dan and Dobie." The program is broadcast from the studios of KVUC at 6 a.m., providing its listeners with a wor- ship thought, news, weather, good EXAMINATION SCHEDULE FIRST SEMESTER, 1961 - 1962 Note 1: Named classes have several sections meeting for one ex- amination.

Opinion Poll Radio station KVUC's pro- gramming is a great improvement over previous years' programming, according to a recent poll. A poll taken by program di- rector David Young shows that over 70% of those polled listen to KVUC. Those who don't have radios report that they enjoy the programming over the dormitory inter-com systems. Many congrat- ulate the station and ask that its management continue present plans for expansion. "Our major complaints," said Young, "were that KVUC is hard to tune in on the radio and that we weren't on the air long enough each day." More religious music was asked for by those answering the poll questionnaire. It was requested that campus news be presented more often. "Our goal is to please our col- legiate listening audience," said Young. "Now that we know what they want we will be able to draw nearer that goal." 35 VIS© PROGRAM lOO 760 On Your Radio Dial SATURDAY - A.M. & P.M. 7:00 With God at Dawn - Dan Fausset 8:00 Sounds of Sabbath No. 1 - Gwendolyn Horn 8:30 Sound No. 2 - Les Werner 9:30 Sound No. 3 - Sabbath School 11:00 Church Service - Walter Shultz 12:00 Tlie Sound of Worship - Loma Linda University 1:00 Miracles — Bob Jones University 1:15 Hymn History — Bob Jones University 1:30 A Time For Singing — Voice of Prophecy 1:45 Sounds of Sabbath No. 4 — Walter Shultz 6:00 Sound No. 5 - Walter Shultz 4:00 Sound No. 6 - Steve Gifford 5:00 Sound No. 7 — Kent Seltman SUNDAY - Listen for play-by- play reports of A & B league Basketball games starting Jan. 14, 1962 1:00 Sunday Serenade — Walter Shultz 1:15 Sunday Report — Carl Anderson, Commentator 1:30 Sunday Serenade — Walter Shultz 2:00 Engel Hall - Fine Arts Guild 3:00 Sunday Serenade - Walter Shultz 4:00 Mutual News - Mutual Network o: 00 Sunday Serenade — Walter Shultz 6:00 Sign Off 7:30 Music for the Collegiate — Walter Shultz 8:00 Mutual News - Mutual Network 9:00 Mutual News — Mutual Network 9:30 Sign Off MONDAY 6:00 At Dawn With Dan-n-Dobie 12:00 Paul Harvey - ABC News 12:15 Dinner Music - Walter Shultz 12:45 Paul Harvey - ABC News 1:00 Music of the Masters - Tom Talley 2:00 Mutual News 4:00 Mutual News 4:05 Concert Hall - Brigham Young University 4:35 Music of the Masters 6:00 Sign Off TUESDAY 6:00 At Dawn with Dan-n-Dobie — Danny Eads & Walter Shultz 7:00 Sign Off 1:00 Tuesday Serenado - Walter Shu 2.00 Mutual News 2:05 Co-ed Comment — Ardis Dick, Commentator 2:15 Tuesday Serenade — Walter Shultz 4:00 Mutual News 6:00 Sign Off 7:30 Music for the Collegiate — Walter Shultz 8:00 Mutual- News 9:00 Mutual News 9:30 Sign Off WEDNESDAY 6:00 At Dawn With Dan-n-Dobie - Danny Eads'fc Walter Shultz 7:00 Sign Off 12:00 Paul Harvey - ABC News 12:15 Dinner Music - Walter Shultz 12:45 Paul Harvey - ABC News 1:00 Music of the Masters — Tom Talley 2:00 Mutual News 4:00 Mutual News 4:05 Songs of France 4:20 Music of the Masters — Tom Talley 6:00 Sign Off THURSDAY 6:00 At Dawn With Dan-n-Dobie - Danny Eads & Walter Shultz 7:00 Sign Off 1:00 Thursday Serenade — Dave Young 1:30 Master Works of France — French Broadcasting system 2:00 Mutual News 4:00 Meet the World - Dave Young 4:15 Thursday Serenade — Dave Young 6:00 Sign Off 7:30 Music for the Collegiate - Wal- ter Shultz 8:00 Mutual News 9:00 Mutual News 9:30 Sign Off FRIDAY 6:00 At Dawn with Dan-n-Dobie.

Pay Student Performers There are two favorite topics for the gripers on campus -the food and the Saturady night programs. You have to eat, but despite many persons misunder- standing, you do not have to attend the programs. Suppose you do want to attend, but do not like the pro- grams. Can you do anything to get better programs? Yes. But before any change can be made, there must be some pressure from you, the student. The activities committee reports that for Saturday and Sunday evening programs from $150 to $300 is spent for ad- venture type programs and from $100 to $600 for musical programs. For student-produced programs they spend up to $250 One possible solution to some of the problems of the committee has been the suggestion of many that more stu- dent programs be presented. These are always well liked and well attended. But there are problems here too: for instance, students do not have time to prepare them and faculty mem- bers are overloaded now to the point that they do not have time to push and sponsor diem. If time is then a problem for student programs, why not pay student performers so that their time is worth it? ^ Some of the money which is spent for "mediocre" per- formances could be spent to pay student musicians to present a musical. Two of the better pianists or a pianist and an in- stramentalist could work up a program and be paid for prac- tice time. Not only would it make their extra practice time worth while, but would be of great help to them in their major field. . An annual contest could be held by the music depart- ment, the music faculty acting as judges. The winners could then present a full Saturday evening concert. Or the students who spend hours and hours painting backdrops and writing scripts to go along with programs could receive some pay. Programs such as the "Talent Review" could be made really worth while to the participants by making the prizes large enough to work for. Dramatic programs could be presented by student groups and departments. The players would receive money to work with, not only for settings, but for practice time. This is a field in which we are very weak. Students would enjoy a few programs of this type. You, the student, may be able to think of more ideas. Elder Sydney Allen, chairman of the activities committee, reports that most of the programs for next year will be chosen by sometime in April. If you have some sug- gestions for programs, they should be presented to him or the committee before that time. Polluted Reasoning? KVUC broadcasts for "Sabbath listening." But doesn't someone have to work at the station just as on any other day? There's a danger, too, that as we turn on the radio to listen to sacred music, we may turn the dial to get better reception and hear things that are not conducive to proper Sabbath observance. Sabbathkeeping sets Union College and Seventh-day Adventists apart. Not only do we keep a different day, we keep it in a different way. This is an ideal theory; but is it fact? Campus activities cast doubts on practical application of this theory. The practice periods of choral groups presents a question. Music can be a great spiritual experience but isn't a little more involved in a regular practice session? Perhaps ration- alization has convinced the director and members that be- cause it's in preparation for a sacred program, it is keep- ing the Sabbath. The end result may be a fine Sabbath occupation, but certainly the hours of practice could be of much more spiritual value if used in the study of God's character and His revelation. A busy program and physical fatigue might make cer- tain things seem necessary, but God planned the Sabbath to help us gain spiritual strength from missionary activities and the study of Gods word. Today God might say of Union College residents as He said of Israel: "My Sabbaths they greatly polluted" ( Ezekiel 20). dune mt»rr Editor-in-Chief _ Associate Editor Assistant Editor _ Assistant Editor News Editor Dick Stenbakken Pat Phillips Ardis Dick Betty Hills Kent Seltman Mary Melsted Ed Starkey Paul Gnadt Colorado Campus Editor Columnist — Sposts Reporter Typist Nancy Cachero Reporters Roy Bellinger, Jerry Birdwell Daniel Duff, Gary Gray, Joe Hieb, Dale Johnson, Ruth Atkinson, Leslie Kirkegaard, Kent Seltman, David Young Photographer — — Roger Anderson Editorial Advisor Verne Wehtje Business Manager Duane Ytredal Secretary-Treasurer Bonnie Statser Advertising Manager Jim Kellogg Bonnie Campbell Paul Joice Circulation Manager Financial Advisor Subscription RATE: $2.00 per year.

Odd, Ordinary Orchids Make A Growing Hobby by Betty Hills "What else could I do with an empty greenhouse?" asked Mrs. Norman in an interview. "So re- membering that orchids grew in greenhouses, I sent off for my first orchid plant. "That was four years ago when we moved into a house with a greenhouse," she said, "and now, I have fifty orchids, and another dozen on order." Mrs. Thelma Norman, wife of Dr. C. L. Norman, the school doc- tor, is also a nurse. The mother of four children, she is also taking several classes, New Testament ipistles, oil painting, and Gennan. After finding herself stuck with an empty greenhouse, she has become fascinated with the hobby of or- chid growing. And, her enthusiasm is very catching. Orchids Everywhere "I raised them on die porches, ip the kitchen, and all over the house at first," she said, "but they kept increasing until I finally had to put them in the greenhouse. "J wanted them where I could watch them," she explained. Her orchids vary in size from less than one inch across to one that is seven inches across. "Some varieties get as large as nine or ten inches across," she said. aro also fascinated with them. One day, her next-door neighbor brought a friend over to look at her orchids. "At one time," Mrs. Nor- mal} related, "this friend's goal has been to get six orchids all at once. So when the big prom came up, she accepted dates with all the boys who asked her, on one con- dition—that they get her an or- chid for her corsage, and have it delivered to her house before the prom. Sure enough, six men asked her to the prom—and each one got her an orchid. The night of the prom, all six boys showed up, but she didn't go with any of them. She stayed home and admired her orchids!" Black "Cat" Orchids There's a good business in selling orchids to hobbiests, but "don't let those fancy adds in papers and magazines take you in," she warns. "One time I sent off for a black orchid, and they sent me a picture of a black cat, (named orchid, of course), and since'then, I haven't gotten anything from that com- pany. They let me down, even though there are no real black or- chids," she explained. One time she paid $17 for a beautiful lavender orchid, "but I don't do that any more since I At $1.50 by the dozen or $17 apiece, Mrs. Norman's hobby has grown to over 50 orchids—even with purple spots. "I've branched out from the or- dinary corsage orchid to die more unusual ones, like the brown and pink ones, or the brown and white ones. You can get them in almost any combination you'd likel" she exclaimed. "I like the green, ones with the purple spots, and then I have a swan orchid with a little figure of a swan on it. One even has a little teddy bear inside." Her favorite orchid is the Mil- tonia, or pansy orchid. "The last one that bloomed," she said, "was a deep red with a white center, and it was so fragrant, you could smell it through the entire house. It lasted for four weeksl" One Prom—Six Dates Through her orchids, she has met many interesting people who have found out you can get other orchids much cheaper," she said. "You can buy the regular corsage orchids for $1.50 a plant when you order them by the dozen," she said. "I never have sold any of them," she said, "I just enjoy them on the plant." Most of her plants are epiphytal, that is, they live simply from air and water. Each year a plant puts up a new growth, and ordinarily, die new growth will bloom, and then it never blossoms again. But, it provides food for another new growth, and then that new growth blooms. Soon, they have to be divided and separated into differ- ent pots. This is the way new plants are usually obtained. •Stark Reality South of the Border I was fortunate tliis Christmas in being able to spend my vaca- tion in Mexico on a field zoology trip. Although this was primarily a biology trip I observed many things about the people and the country, that wore unrelated to biology. I found some of the friendliest people I have ever met, anywhere. Everywhere we went people greeted us like old friends, and never did we find anyone who was openly an- tagonistic to us or to the United Stales. In Mexico City, we did see several signs such as "Cuba Si - Yankees No" but since this is a uni- versity town, a higher number of communist sympathizers and anti- Americans would naturally be ex- pected. This friendliness was hard for me . . . , . t0 interpret. It is easy to assume that it is clue to a particular friendship for Americans, rather than to the Mexican s natural amicability. This idea is a mistake, because Mexico is a country that is strictly for herself and no one else. The sooner we realize this, the better it will be. She does not care to become aligned with any major world power. Although I'm normally distrustful of any country that calls her- self neutral, I do appreciate Mexico's position. Mexico has enough ot a job ahead of her in improving her economy, standard of livii2 and educational system to keep her busy for some time. Only if she is able to improve the living conditions of all her people and become economically more independent, can she hope to resist the world powers anxious to have her align herself with them Since she will not commit herself to the American side in the cold war, we should be sure that she doesn't commit herself to communism. Mexico has not done so yet and won't if she can keep an improving herself. The only way to be sure of this is to help her by maintaining a practical foreign aid program. At present we have such a program which has been successful. Our aid should come in the lorm of help rather than a gift. As long as Mexico knows that we have a sincere interest in border^ W° ^ ' t0 W°rry ab°Ut commu™m south of our & Stu^ Many Serious Money Problems (Please Send Lots) (ACP)-Often there's more be- tween die lines than on them in a collegian's letter home.

In fact, I often find myself studying until 4:00 in the morning (I don't start until 3:30). I find that my studies present a real challenge to me (I'm flunking). Did you know that this college ranks among the top ten in the nation (the soccer team is first in the area)? It is really wonderful how all my professors have that rare qual- ity that strikes a chord of respon- siveness deep with me (hatred). They are all very brilliant and exhibit this genius in a thousand ways (they are oddballs who ex- pect us to go to class). My roommate is a very nice guy (he lets me use his Bio notes). In fact all the students here are wonderful and I have made many new friends (she is a real doll). Our floor counselor is a real swell guy, too, and gives us lots of helpful advice (we threw him in the shower last night). Mrs. Poffingarger, our house- mother, respects and admires my ability to get along independently (she locked me out last Saturday). You will lie glad to know that my math teacher said it was a pleasure to have me in his class (he thought I was a visitor). I really love it here but I sure do miss home, especially both of you (please send money).

If you want to grow them at home, you can keep them in, the bathroom or the kitchen window, because that's usually the most humid place in the house. "You could even grow one in your dor- mitory room!" she exclaimed. "Water them about once a week, and as long as there is good air circulation an,d plenty of sunshine, that's about all they need," she said. Tho temperature may go down to as low as 28 degrees for several hours at a time and not hurt them. "Some people fertilize their plants, but I've had £*ood luck without fertilizing min,e," she said. I can't grow a petunia," she ex- claimed, "but orchids thrive on a little judicious r^eglect."
