CT INTERVIEW ASB Reveals Plans BY THE EDITORS "One of the first projects of the ASB is to revise the Inside Story ," says Jack Krogstad, ASB president. "It has been eight years since the student handbook was revised, and both the administration and stu- dents have felt a need for a more up-to-date handbook." A faculty-student committee to study the handbook will be formed. Dr. Fowler will appoint die fac- ulty members, and the Student Council will appoint the students. Don Both is chairman of a com- mittee already working to revise the non-social aspects of die book. Faculty approval is needed for the revised handbook. Krogstad says that the cooperation of the faculty is most important for die success of the project. He feels that the students are ready to work. Sev- eral faculty members have indicat- ed to Krogstad that they support the revision 100S. The ASB has sent questionnaires to the faculty members for ideas and recommendations. A public meeting for students to voice dieir opinions may be held. The first meeting of die Student Council was yesterday morning at 7:20. The Student Council has 21 members, including executive of- ficers, committee chairmen, pub- lications editors, dorm club pres- idents, two faculty members chos- en by Dr. Fowler, and the two sponsors, Dr. Bene Evard and Mr. Lee Allen.

Impor- tant business cannot be decided until these are elected, although a quorum can be achieved without them. Brenda Christensen, vice-pres- ident of the ASB, is the presiding officer. Brenda says she plans to hold a Student Council meeting ev- ery week. She believes regular meetings will help the ASB make systematic progress. She also says that every student should know what is going on in the Student Council; therefore, minutes of each meeting will be posted in prom- inent places. Every student at Union College is a member of the ASB, and the ASB is supported from the $200 paid at registration by each stu- dent. Of this $200, $20 goes to the ASB. Three-fourths of this goes to the publications. The CLOCK TOWER and the Golden Cords get $7 each, and the Peanut Hill gets $1. The rest of the money goes to the various committees and pro- jects of the ASB. The ASB gets no direct subsidy from the school except for special projects like the Student Center, which was re- modeled in the summer of 1965 under ASB president David Kin- sev. Begular office hours are being set up for the convenience of the students. The ASB office will be open six or seven hours a day for students to come in with ideas, suggestions or problems. Eddie Feigner and his four-man softball team, The King and His Court will be playing in Lincoln Saturday night to conclude the MV Bally Weekend. Feigner, famous for his fastball pitches, will be playing against a nine-man softball team captained by Gene Johnson from the UC biology department. Other mem- bers of die college team are Dennis Bartel, Harry Cummins, Wayne Fleming, Buell Fogg, Stan Hardt, Bon Hixson, Don Moon, Derryl Og- den, Bon Scott, Ed Storey and Jer- ry Thayer. Game time is 8:30 at Sherman Field, which is located on South Street just west of 9th Street. At 6:30 Feigner will give a pitching demonstration in the UC gym. Feigner's under-arm delivery from the pitching mound was once clocked at 104 miles per hour, but it is for his wide assortment of pitches and tricks that he is best known. He claims his variety ot speeds, curves, windups and dif- ferent types of pitches enables him to toss three games in a row with- out re-using the same pitch. Feign- er, a Seventh-day Adventist, will give a short talk on temperance, Christian sportsmanship and his opportunities for Christian witness- ing. Tomorrow night in the gym Eld- er P. M. De Booy, Central Union MV secretary, is the speaker for the initial meeting of the MV Bally. Traditional torchlight prayer bands on the campus will follow. Sabbath morning services will be at Pershing Auditorium at 15th and M Streets in downtown Lincoln. Sabbath school will have a special mission feature—a film and tape re- cording from John Felkel, UC's student missionary in Taiwan. Eld- er Erwin Gane will give the lesson studv. Elder Euel Atchley, General Conference temperance secretary, is the speaker for the church serv- ice. The MV evangelistic plan for 1966-67 will be presented. A test group will be sent out to exper- iment with it and report to the au- dience. Sabbath afternoon activities in- clude a new student talent program of music and the MV evangelistic pageant. Elder Floyd Bresee from UC's religion department will tell of his recent soul-winning activ- ities. Members of the MV Executive Committee and committee chair- men are Jere Webb, MV leader; Kermit Netteburg, Bible confer- ences; Barbara Ehlert, music; Eu- gene Rittenhouse, evangelism; A1 Mazat, MV Probe; Dean Rogers, publicity; Rex Bell, Union for Christ Rally; Jan Schultz, student- to-student organization; Don Roth, student missionary; Mike Burton, sunshine bands, Larry Hallock, program productions, Benjie Leach, temperance; Karla Krampert and Pat Okohira, secretaries. All Students Attend New 7:20 a.m. Chapel All-school chapels and convo- cations are being held at 7:20 a.m. this year. Dr. R. W. Fowler, president of Union College, said the early time is being tried so all students can meet together. Last year freshmen had their own chapels at 2:10 p.m. on Tues- days and Thursdays, while all other students met at 9:20 a.m. on Mon- day and Friday. "This arrangement did not seem to be popular with the new stu- dents," said Dr. Fowler. "They felt that with afternoon classes and their own chapels it was harder to get to know the upper class- men." Other times for an all-school convocation have been studied. The main obstacle to an 11:20 chapel, according to Dr. Fowler, is that all students would descend on the cafeteria at once. Evening chapels were considered also, but the inconvenience to vil- lage students and the conflict with the dormitory programs ruled them out. Dr. Fowler acknowledged that the 7:20 time is not ideal, and that there has been some problem in arranging for guest speakers at that hour. Since the new chapel period comes during the time when a sec- ond breakfast was served in the cafeteria, an attempt was made to reschedule breakfast hours on Monday and Friday. According to L. E. McClain, dean of student affairs, no arrange- ments could be made for a later breakfast because the cafeteria management felt it could not serve a breakfast after eight and still be ready for the noon meal. At present the only breakfast hours on Monday and Friday are from 6:15 till 6:50 a.m. On other mornings a second breakfast is served from 7:30 till 8:00. Ogden, McClain Named Deans; Caviness President of Newbold Dr. E. B. Ogden, professor of mathematics, has replaced Dr. G. L. Caviness, as academic dean. Dr. Caviness accepted the presidency of Newbold College in Bracknell, Berkshire, England. In a previous administrative change, L. E. McClain replaced Dr. L. W. Welch as dean of stu- dent affairs. Dr. Ogden. who is serving as acting dean during this school year, was dean at Union College from 1946 until 1958, when Dr. Cav- iness accepted the position. He graduated from Union Col- lege in 1922, received his Master's degree at the University of Ne- braska in 1925 and his doctorate from Boston University in 1936. Dr. Ogden has served on the Union College faculty continuously since 1938 and prior to diat taught here from 1926 to 1933. L. E. McClain comes to Union from Loma Linda University where he was dean of students. He has also served several years as an academy principal. Mr. McClain received his BA and MA from Walla Walla College. As dean of student affairs, Mr. McClain will direct all student ac- tivities for both dormitory and village students. Two special groups to which he wishes to de- vote more effort this year are the freshmen and the village students. He would like to see both groups become more active in campus ac- tivities. The previous dean of student af- fairs, Dr. L. W. Welch, is now serving as registrar and director of admissions. Helping him on a part- time basis is Miss Marie Anderson who retired from the position of registrar last year. Miss Anderson is assisting juniors and seniors in properly arranging their class schedules for graduation. 2 CLOCK TOWER September 22, 1966 0CLOCK Jcwai Opinions expressed in the editorial column are those of the editors.

Seventy-five per cent of the CLOCK TOWER budget comes from the ASB, the rest from advertising and paid subscriptions. The CLOCK TOWER receives no financial subsidy from the administration or staff of Union College. Since the students through their ASB fees make our pa- per's existence possible, our primary purpose must be to serve them. We will endeavor to keep them informed and to repre- sent their interests in any way we can. This does not mean, however, that we feel we must op- pose the administration of Union College. We do not believe that the interests of the administration need, be, or in fact, are opposed to those of the students. The editors believe that a goal of all student organiza- tions should be to create a climate of understanding between the facidty and the students. The CLOCK TOWER supports the administration of Union College. We support not only the individuals serving as ad- ministrative officers, but we support the principles which guide them. From time to time we may take exception to a certain part of the total program. Rather than simply throw- ing rocks from our fifth-story window, we plan to discuss the situation with the men in charge. We will try to understand their position and we know they will trt/ to understand our's. We may leave still in dis- agreement, but we hope never to leave in anger. The editors believe that many conflicts can be avoided if the full facts are known. Understanding is needed before co- operation can be achieved. An atmosphere of friendliness be- tween administration, faculty and students can best be achiev- ed if each group is aware of the reasons for the positions of the other groups. The CLOCK TOWER will endeavor to present those reasons fairly and impartially. It is the sincere hope of the editors not to create strife, but rather strive to help create a climate of understanding in which real progress can be achieved.

THE BOOKSHELF White's '64 Election Book Records GOP 'Blunders' BY RIC GREEN- November 1963 to November 1964 was one of the most signif- icant years in contemporary his- tory. President Kennedy was struck down by an assassin's bullet. Pre- mier Khrushchev toppled from his Kremlin pinnacle of power. In die British parliamentary elections, the Labour party upset the Conserv- atives by the smallest possible mar- gin. Terror and bloodshed flared up in the Congo. In Vietnam, the U.S. responded to Communist prov- SPOTLIGHT ocations by bombing P.T. boat bases in the North. It was in this climate of fear and confusion, engendered by world events, that the 1964 Presidential election campaign commenced. Theodore W. White skillfully chronicles this contest between Republican Senator Barry Gold- water and Democrat Lyndon Johnson, in his latest book.

Jaye Fike Financial Advisor Dr. Paul W. Joice White begins his narrative with that event which is so shockingly vivid in our memory—the assas- sination of President Kennedy. Not only does he relate the far-reaching effects it had on American politics, he also compassionately portrays the shock and grief manifested by Americans. The legacy of President Kennedy is discussed in this first "tear-jerking" chapter. From the death of the President through the transition of power to Lyndon Johnson, the author pro- gresses to the chapter, "The Re- publicans: Rendezvous with Dis- aster." This portion relates the fra- tricidal struggle within the GOP over die Presidential nomination. The victorious primary campaign of Senator Gold water is analyzed. Governor Rockefeller's romance and marriage to another man's wife, 15 years his junior, injects scandal into this chapter. In a succeeding chapter, the Democratic convention is reported. The account, however, is something less than compelling. Since the master politician, L.B.J., had the convention under his thumb, it lacked the spontaneity and ex- citement found in the Republican free-for-all. Mr. White attempts to fadiom the sea of controversy surround- ing Senator Goldwater. While White refuses to sling mud at the Senator, the candidate does re- ceive his share of the blame for frightening the electorate with his impromptu utterances. . The blunders Republicans made are dissected in agonizing detail. The incredible luck diat attended the Democrats, as well as their shrewd politics, are described in the remaining portion of the book. Mr. White's outstanding work should be required reading for ev- ery patriotic American who desires more knowledge of the way his leaders are chosen. And certainly anyone who dreams of someday capturing the U.S. Presidency will find it profitable to pursue The Making of the President-1964. This space is reserved for letters to the editor. Since this is our first issue of the school year, we have no let- ters to print. We want readers' letters —your letters—and we hops you will tell us candidly what you think about things in general and especially Union College, and about us.

BY VDKLYS NELSON Greetings from sunny England! Well, at least it is sunny for die moment. This salutation comes from the Unionites who have been temporarily transported to New- bold College. But before I tell you about New- bold perhaps you would like to hear about the trip over. After traveling to New York by train, since airline strikes are not repect- ors of persons, I met Bonnie Har- vey, also a student from Union College. Our plane was not sched- uled to leave until two days later so we made the most of the inter- vening time by seeing the United Nations, Statue of Liberty, Em- pire State Building, the new Lin- coln Center for Performing Arts, and other sights that made New York famous. Finally the long awaited day ar- rived. When we at last were lifted into the air with the surge of mo- tors at 11:15 p.m. it was with a trace of sadness and much antic- ipation that we watched die bright- ly lit skyline of New York vanish into the night. Our mode of trans- portation was a four engine pro- peller plane flown by Icelandic Air- lines. Soon after awakening the fol- lowing morning, we could see the barren shores of Iceland as we lost altitude. At die Reykjavik air- port in Iceland we had a stopover of an hour and a half duration. As we looked about we saw the land stretching out flat as far as the eye could see. Very little vegetation was in sight. The air was crisp and cool but not cold. Aboard again we flew low enough to get a good view of the Westman Islands which are known for their good fishing waters. The islands were barren and rocky with fire belching out of deep cavities in the rock and steam rising from newly formed volcanoes in the sea. We again gained altitude until we were flying more than 30,000 feet high. Our scenery was limited to the vast expanse of clouds below us. Stopover in Scotland When we could feel the plane descending and could see the Heb- rides passing below us, we knew that we were nearing Scotland where we would make our final stop before reaching London. This time we stopped for a brief half- hour in Glasgow. Then we were aloft again flying over die ver- dant green of the fields which were criss-crossed with hedges and dotted with miniature villages. The clouds were thicker as we mounted die skies for the final lap in our journey. When we landed at the Heathrow Airport in London, we saw what all those clouds had been doing as we flew above them, for the pavement of the run-way was wet from a very recent shower. Customs and landing procedures took very little time and after changing our money into pounds and shillings we were all set to go. Just as we were wondering what to do about transportation to New- bold, an announcement came over the public address system for ar- riving Newbold students to meet at the information desk. There we learned that transportation would soon arrive. Home of Alexander Pope Newbold College is located about thirty miles from London. The college estate comprises some eighty-four acres in Binfield, the childhood home of the English poet, Alexander Pope. Windsor, the Thames River, Oxford and other places of historical and literary in- terest are not too far distant from Newbold as well. IBM Helps Students Register BY RIC GREEN Registration seems to be one of the most frustrating experiences of college life. Few people relish the steps involved such as filling out endless forms, queuing up in long lines for rubber-stamp authoriza- tions and waiting for class cards, only to discover that "the 9:20 section of die fundamentals of bas- ket weaving under Prof. A. is fill- ed." and it is necessary to reor- ganize a whole class schedule to accommodate the change. This year Union obtained the professional services of Mr. Edwin Eivins, formerly management and systems analyst for the Iowa State Comptroller, to head its I.B.M. de- partment. One of the department's main functions is the improvement of the registration process. Thus, many students, upon learn- ing of this, assumed that much of the tedium involved in registra- tion would disappear. This was the case with A1 Mazat. He says that it required six hours last year for him to register and only four hours were required this time. Other students, however, failed to see any large improvement in registration. Tom Becker observed that the only difference in time had to do with the pre-printed class cards which required no writ- ing. Milton Dick suggested that the only way to improve registra- tion would be to pre-register as much as possible before arriving on campus. According to Union's Registrar. Dr. L. W. Welch, students should not have expected a greatly im- proved registration this year. The college's I.B.M. system, he con- tends, was never meant to improve the actual registration process; rath- er its purpose is to more efficiently record and analyze the statistics gleaned from die student on "R- Day." Dr. Welch feels that the only way the process can be im- proved is by utilizing pre-registra- tion practices. Ultimately, what he visualizes is a system whereby students would arrange their class schedules be- fore the end of the previous school year and then register. After sum- mer vacation, accepted students would only be required to check in at their respective dormitories. New and transfer students would register by correspondence.

Oak panel- ed walls, a large ornate fireplace, hanging lamps, windows looking out to the gardens, and a winding staircase with heavy oak banisters give an impression of elegance to this spacious room. Moor Close also houses the college kitchens and dining rooms. Various other buildings on cam- pus house married students, staff, and can also provide additional dormitory space. Since arriving at Newbold, the Newbold Unionites most anxiously await their trunks which have not as yet arrived, and letters from all of their former classmates and friends.

Flat Tires Curtail Bike Trip; Nuessle, Paulien Lose Payoff BY LABY TAYLOR Kicking off the sports year is the fast and exciting flagball season. In case you are new here, we play by the rules and regulations of the N.C.A.A. (Non-Competing Advent- ist Athletes). This means no tackle football. Tackle is great if you're about 6' 5" and weigh around 240-260; then there's more beef covering your bones than at 6' 0", 160 lbs. Already I've heard several fresh- men making skeptical remarks about flag football. For instance, why can't the quarterback run di- recdy with the ball? 'Why have only six men? 1105 Register At- press time, 1105 stu- dents had enrolled on the Lincoln and Denver camp- uses, according to Dr. L. W. Welch, registrar. An all-time enrollment record was set last spring when 1147 stu- dents were in attendance. The student roster, usu- ally printed in the first CLOCK TOWER of the year, will not be available for sev- eral w e ek s. Tabulations of student records are now be- ing done with electronic data processing equipment and the initial installation is re- sponsible for the delay. The questions can best be an- swered after watching or playing a flagball game. These g. mes hold plenty of thrills. With everyone el- igible to receive a forward pass, you never know who'll make the catch. It takes skill to maneuver yourself into position to grab a 12" x2" flag hanging from someone's belt. Some of the flagball rules differ from ordinary touch or tackle rules. A major difference is the size of the field. Regular fields measure 100 yards from goal line to goal line. The flagball field is 80 yards. Instead of the first down being 10 yards, it is 15 in flagball. Another difference is that only one forward pass is allowed on any given down. This prevents real razzle-dazzle plays, but diat type of play usually doesn't work anyway. In flagball rules, as soon as the ball hits the ground it is dead. This stops a team from losing the ball on fumbles. These constitute most of the differences between flagball and other types of football. Flagball packs plenty of thrills and excitement. This can be proven by the large crowds that watch the games each night. With the "A" league teams well balanced, and a phenomenal faculty team this flagball season should be one of the best ever. We're hoping you'll enjoy every game of it. Faulty tires brought a quick end to a cross-country bike trip planned by two Unionites in Aug- ust. Walter Nuessle, a senior theol- ogy major from Boulder, Colo., and Charles Paulien, a junior bi- ology major from Lincoln, planned to ride from San Francisco, Calif., to Adantic City, N. J., a distance of approximately 3250 miles. They had to terminate their trip about 50 miles east of Sacramento Formed credit will be offered each semes- ter, orchestra members need not register for it. The orchestra will take a tour to Minnesota and vicinity from Apr. 20-24. Two other new instrumental groups are a string ensemble and two string quartets. The string en- semble will perform works for chamber music emphasizing the Baroque and Contemporary eras. The harpsichord will play a prom- inent part in this music. A begin- ning string class for non-music majors will be started if a sufficient number contact Mr. Walters. The Oratorio Chorus will be non-credit this year. Mrs. Gisela Willi is die director. The chorus will perform Mozart's "Coronation Mass" and the Christmas portions of "Messiah" by Handel in De- cember, the rest of the "Messiah" and "Psalm 42" by Mendelssohn around Easter time and the "King David" by Honegger in May. The chorus rehearses in the College View church every other Sabbath afternoon and membership is open to students, staff and village peo- ple. when their tires kept blowing out. "We had bought special tires," says Nuessle. "These were not the regular 'clincher' type, but tires which were simply glued into the tire rim. These tires add five to six miles per hour to the bike's speed." The bicyclists explained that the tires are filled to 90 pounds pres- sure and only one-fourth of an inch of tire surface touches the road at one time. Paulien said they spent most of their time fixing flats. Apparently the road surface was so hot, the ground temperature was 130°, that the glue melted and the tires shift- ed thus blowing them out."

"We camped in an orchard one night," said Nuessle, "under a bridge the next, and in a city park the third." The cyclists had bought 10-speed European bicycles with special Al- pine gears and a special high gear for high speed travel. "The biggest problem," said Paulien, "was trucks on narrow two lane roads. We were almost blown off the road several times." While the cyclists are disap- pointed in not being able to com- plete their trip, 160 Unionites are not too unhappy. They had each pledged one dollar to Nuessle if the trip was completed successfully. Both Nuessle and Paulien are ready to try the trip again.

Orchestra, New Choirs BY KAREN ASTNER The music department has changed its curriculum to include or enlarge the Collegium I and II, the Golden Chords Chorale and Choraliers, an Orchestra and the Oratorio Chorus. The Collegium groups are class- Veterans Warned To Check Details For Receiving Aid The nation's 1,200 university and college newspapers, magazines and other publications have been asked to join the Veterans Admin- istration in a saturation campaign to acquaint every veteran-student with all details of the payment procedures of the new G.I. Bill's education program. The VA cautions that the vet- eran going to school should be pre- pared to pay his expenses for at least two months. The law requires that, except for the first month of attendance at in- stitutions of higher learning, month- ly certificates of attendance signed hy veterans be sent to the VA at- testing that the veteran has at- tended classes. The first check will be issued to cover the period from date of enrollment through the end of that month without a certifica- tion. With his first check, the veteran will receive a certification card which must be returned to the VA at the end of the second month in order to receive a check for that month on the 20th of the following month. Proper and prompt sending of these certificates will eliminate delays. es for advanced instrumental and keyboard students. In these classes the students play for each other and make constructive criticisms of their individual playing. Special note is made of areas where im- provement is necessary and also where the student excels. Though primarily for instrumen- tal and keyboard players, those who sing can profit from such a class. A division into Collegium I and II simply makes it easier to classify upper division students, or those whose playing is superior to others wanting this class. The division of the Golden Chords Chorale may possibly lead some to think one choir is more advanced than the other. However, this is not true. Both will continue to function in the capacity and in the tradition previously set by the Golden Chords. The Golden Chords has been divided so more students can participate. Whether or not both groups will tour is an undecided factor. By having Gold- en Chords thus divided, both church services will have a choir each Sabbath on a regularly sched- uled basis. Perhaps the newest subject con- cerning the music department is the orchestra. Mr. Robert Walters is the conductor. Representative works from the great literature written for symphonic presentation will be introduced. All material played will be as the composer wrote it. Mr. Walters hopes for a mem- bership of 45, and there is a need for string bass and wind players. Anyone wishing to join the orches- tra may sign up for an audition in Mr. Walter's office in the music building. Regular rehearsal will be on Thursday nights from 7:30-9:30.
