The seniors have chosen as their aim and motto, "Ad majorem Dei gloriam .... To the greater glory of God." Their class colors are lav- ender and white, which comple- ment the class flower, the orchid. One Program A Week Slated Again Next Fall Contrary to rumor, there will not be two simultaneous programs each Saturday night next year, said Elder Sydney Allen, Chairman of the Activities committee. "We had discussed the possibil- ity of having two programs each week," Allen said, "but because of no room for two programs and because of an adequate program schedule, we decided against it." The activities committee realizes that it is impossible to please ev- eryone, and so it did all it could to provide a balanced program to satisfy "everyone at least some of the time," continued Allen. "Students are not required to at- tend Saturday night programs," reasoned Allen, "and we feel that if they can't enjoy the varied pro- gram we have selected, it is their privilege to provide their own ac- tivity." Tho actual program schedule is now being worked out by the mu- sic productions committee, under the leadership of Miss Eleanor At- tarian, assistant professor of music, and by the special productions com- mittee, headed by Mr. William Rankin, instructor in speech and English. ASB Benefit Features Barretts In Cinemascope The film, "Barretts of Wimpole Street," will be presented at 8:15 p.m., May 26, in the college au- ditorium, by the ASB for their annual benefit program. The film portraying the life of the famous woman poet Elizabeth Barret Browning is a cinemascope production. A special stage-wide screen will be constructed espe- cially for this showing in order to accommodate the extra wide pic- ture. This is the first attempt at Un .on to show cinemascope in the collcge auditorium on anything but the conventional screen. The tempor- al) screen will be approximately three times the size of tho perma- nent one now in use. 17 Senior Nurses Write State Boards For RNrs The senior nursing students will take the Nurses State Board Ex- amination on May 31 and June 1, reported Mrs. Pearl Zeelau, secre- tary in the department of nursing. The test will be a State Pool Licensing Examination which has been prepared by all the state boards from all the states, and has been standardized nationally. "Ne- braska has ranked in the top ten in the nation for the past eight years," said Mrs. Zeelau. "Our graduates have a good record." Of the 17 in the graduating class who arc nursing students, nine will take the examination in Nebraska and the rest will take it elsewhere. In This Issue 1. Bird Lob p. 2 2. Faculty Changes p. 3 3. Twins p. 4 Beach, Bietz, And Mazat Give Week End Addresses A total of 95 seniors plan to graduate on June 3, according to Miss Anderson, registrar. Elder W. R. Beach, secretary of the General Conference, will give the commencement address. Commencement will begin at 10:00 a.m. All services will be held in the college auditorium. The baccalaureate sermon will be given by Elder R. R. Bietz, '38, president of the Pacific Union Conference. Bietz is originally from North Dakota and has a brother and a sister here in Lincoln. Baccalaureate will begin at 11:00 a.m., June 2. The seniors will be addressed at High Percentage ot '62 Graduates Going Into Denominational Work "Graduation, and then. .?" Seniors are asked that so often they have an answer ready before the words are asked them. Many of the seniors have made definite plans for next year, but 23 per cent still admit that they are un- decided. Pre-registration Is Experimental Pre-registeration for 1962-1963 school term began on May 14 and will continue to the end of this semester. Students may arrange a schedule of classes and get the approval of their advisor. This will eliminate one of the important steps in the fall registration, said Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. "Voluntary pre-registration is being tried this year on an experi- mental basis, as a result of requests of both students and faculty," he added. Students seemed to respond with unanimous approval of the plan. A junior expressed the opinion of many students said, "I think that is is a real good idea. I can plan for school in the fall with more assur- ance if I know for sure what class- es I will be taking." Next Year's Objectives Spelled Out By President by Steve Gifford Any organization, if it is to be a success, must have an ob- jective or a series of objectives. Predetermined goals, whether good or bad, achieved or avoided, are at least a small criteria whereby self-evaluation may be achieved. For that reason, our Associated Student Body must have plans and goals for next year's program. In so doing, we can know whether our group is a stalemate or a working body. The following is a partial list of objectives, plans, and goals the ASB is attempting to develope for next year. (1) The New Students A more full participation in fresh- man orientation days by the ASB is needed. Every effort will bo made to make all new students feel at home during their first days on our campus. (2) ASB Convocations A regular oncc-each-month ASB convocation series will convene September 21, with a pro- gram entitled "ASB Preview of '62." (3) The Social Program This spring an ASB recreational evening is scheduled, with sports activity, refreshments, and worship. A Valentine's program will be presented in February, as well as other special programs not yet worked into the schedule. (4) The Denver Campus The School of Nursing has been invited to present an exchange program to a Lincoln convocation. In return, this campus will sponsor a student- prepared program to be presented on the Denver campus in the spring. (5) Committee Working Policies New working policies are being prepared, and will be presented next fall. The new administration is working closely with the old on the proposed constitution change. If the new constitution is effected, tho new committee organization will include the following committees: Health & Recreation, Nominations & Elections, Program Productions, Social, Promotions, Re- ligious Life, and Student Center. (6) Student Center Plans are progressing on the en- largement of the student center. Mr. Kenneth Jameson so he may continue directing the enlarging. (7) Leadership Council A leadership council will be held September 7 and 8, to acquaint the new officers with their offices, the constitution, parliamentary procedure, and to give general instruction in leadership principles. We, the new officers, have deeply appreciated the help of Mr. Tan and his officers. They have suggested several things to us, and wc arc endeavoring to carry out some of the plans they have suggested. We hope that during the new school year, you'll let us know your ideas. If we work together, wc will have a success- ful organization. Forty-four per cent of the grad- uates will be employed in denomi- national work. The remainder are undecided, entering graduate schools, or working in nondenomi- national employment. Only three per cent of the graduates are in this last category. Teaching has claimed the high- est number of Unionites by em- ploying 29 per cent of the gradu- ating class. Twenty-one per cent will be going to academies, six per cent to elementary church schools, and two per cent to public schools. Of this number, four per cent will be deans of dormitories in addi- tion to actual teaching responsi- bilities. Graduate school will be entered by 23 per cent of the graduates. Ministerial students who will be attending the seminary make up 8 per cent of this group. Two per cent of the number are not com- pletely decided, but will enter di- rectly into the ministry if they do not attend graduate school. Twenty per cent of the 1962 class will be registered nurses. Six- teen per cent of them will be practicing their profession and of the remaining three per cent will be taking graduate work and one per cent will be employed in teaching. Business and secretarial positions will be filled by six per cent of the graduates. This six per cent is di- vided evenly between business positions and secretarial positions. All of these positions are in denom- inational employment. Union Collcge graduates have other plans too. Fifty-four per cent of the class either are married or have plans for marriage in the im- mediate future. Cook Takes Prize In W(TU Contest Russ Cook, sophomore religion major from Tulsa, Oklahoma, won first prize Tuesday in the state intercollegiate oratorical contest sponsored by the Women's Christ- ian Tcmpcrancc Union.

His son, Bruce, is in the graduating class. The consecration service is at 8:30 p.m., June 1. Congratulations Reserved sections for the families of staff and for board members and relatives and out-of-town friends of the seniors will be provided. Seniors will form a line for congratulations on the walk south of South Hall after com- mencement service. In case of rain, congratulations will take place in the auditorium. A special staff and senior de- votional will be held Friday even- ing at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel of the administration building. Wives, husbands, parents of graduates, and staff members as well as sum- mer school graduates are urged to attend by those planning the pro- gram. Class Night The class will be in charge of Sabbath School with Dick Dale serving as superintendent. The week-end's activities also include the class night program, which will be held Saturday night at 8:30 in the auditorium. Some of the highlights of the program will be Penny Shell and Lora Wood doing, "Buggy Goes Jet." Bill Baker will play his cornet, and there will be a clarinet duet by Jim Wilmot and Emmet Coleman. Elwyn Rexinger will entertain with his French hom and Natalie Dem- ing with her violin. Dick Pollard and Bob Bergh will sing solos. The narration is being written by Bill Swan and will be read by Donald Tan. Ann Silverstein is Chairman of the program commit- tee. A reception will be held after the class program in the cafeteria for seniors and their parents and friends. It is being planned by Bemelda Johnson.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 4 CLOCK TOWER February 1, 1963 Seniors Gain Sheepskins At June 3 Commencement (Continued from The class is unique in that it has a mother and daughter both graduating, Mrs. Marjorie Silver- stein and daughter Ann. Mrs. Sil- verstein is majoring in elementary education and Ann in English. Two married couples will be graduating together, Brenda and Byron Bradley, and Roxy and Jim Hoehn. Jeannette and Jim Syfert, broth- er and sister, started church school in the 2nd and 3rd grades here in Lincoln, and have attended Union through their academy and college years. Seniors who are also taking classes at the University of Ne- braska will be attending classes there for about a week after Union's graduation. It will be nec- essary for them to receive their grades prior to completion of the course. Following is a list of the pros- pective seniors, who upon success- ful completion of their work, will be granted degrees on June 3.

Co-ed Quits Cafeteria Job After 11 Years' Service by Anna A Syfert working in the cafete- ria seems to be a family tradition. For the past fourteen years there has been at least one Syfert work- ing there, and the tradition won't be broken when Jeannette gradu- ates. Her young sister, Roberta plans to work there for the next three years. Jeannette, an elementary educa- tion major who graduates this June, has been working in the college cafeteria to earn her school tu- ition ever since she was in the sev- enth grade. After eleven years of hard work, including all summers except one, she plans to loaf this summer, while she prepares to teach church school next fall in Spearfish, South Dakota. During her eleven years of cafe- teria work, she has done everything from working in the dishroom and washing pots and pans, to clearing tables and serving on deck. Her favorite job is working on the boy's deck. She says, "The fellows aren't as hard to please as the girls, and they always come up with some- thing amusing." She strongly dis- like waxing floors, but enjoys the hard work of planning and working on banquets. She remembers especially the night old South Hall burned and the kitchen was damaged. "We really had to scrub to get those pots and pans clean again after being blackened by the smoke," she said. One experience which is still vivid in her mind is that time she was putting an orange on the fruit Streeter tray on the top of the deck just as several conference men were going through line. Unfortunately, the orange went a little too far, rolled off the tray, and landed in a bowl of soup on one of the men's trays. A rather colorfully decorated shirt, a very embarrassed girl, and some very amused conference col- leagues were the result. "I've probably felt like quitting as many times as Miss Whitfield has felt like asking me to quit," as- serted Jeannette. "Really though, it's been enjoyable, and aside from the financial benefits, it's been a valuable experience." Peace Corps Volunteers To Exceed 5,000 In '63 Richard Graham, recruitment di- rector for the Peace Corps, told the annual meeting of the Military Chaplains Association of the Uni- ted States that he expects 5,000 volunteers for his program next year. Addressing about 230 active and reserve chaplains, Mr. Graham said he anticipated no recruitment problems; rather he felt it would be difficult for volunteers to get in. He said there are 1,385 persons currently in training for the corps or on duty in 30 countries. Photo by Anderson Looks like those baby birds are hiding from ornithology student Rollin Bland. But in his study of birds, no doubt he's learned the secret of1 selling them on the idea of being watched, so they'll probobly show up in a minute. Piano Recital Given By Ruth Ann Hagen Miss Ruth Ann Hagen presen- ted her senior piano recital Sun- day, May 20, in Engel Hall. Miss Ilagen is a student of Miss Eleanor Attarian. Included in the recital were: Pre- lude and Fugue in C-Sharp Major by Bach; Sonata Op. 26, consisting of four movements—"Andante con Variazoni," "Scherzo and Trio," "Marcia Funebre," and "Allegro," by Beethoven; Le Tombeau de Couperin, including "Prelude," "Fugue," "Forlane," "Rigaudon," "Menuet," and "Toccata" move- ments, by Ravel; Etude in A Mi- nor, Op 10, No. 2, by Chopin; Etude III, "La Campanella" by Paganini-Liszit; and Rhapsodie Hongroise, No 12, by Liszt. A reception, sponsored by the music faculty, was held in the li- brary following the recital. It was under the direction of Mrs. Mar- guerite Widener. Miss Hagen, a student from Ne- braska, will be the girls dean and part-time music teacher at Enter- prise Academy in Kansas next year. Phys. Ed. Class Takes Week-end Canoe Trip The canoeing class took a week- end canoe trip down the Blue Riv- er May 19-21, said George Lewis, instructor of the canoeing class. "We put into the Blue River at Seward, Nebraska, and canoed down stream until about sundown, said Lewis. "It took about seven hours to reach our camp site." The camp site is about five miles from Seward as the crow flies, but duo to the winding of the river, it is much further by boat. "The 19 students in the class had to make about 11 portages," com- mented Lewis. "These were neces- sary because of log jams which made it impossible to go through. Sabbath services were entirely taken care of by students, said Lewis. "The reason for the trip was to fulfill the requirements for the Red Cross canoeing certificates," Lew- is stated. "It is also required in or- der to receive the M hour credit that the college coursc offers." Others who went on the excur- sion were Dr. W. A. Howe, edu- cational secretary of the Central Union Conference, and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Fleming. Fleming is the physical education instructor at Union. She Never Made Stage But She Entertains Daily by Jean A stage-struck young girl is hard- ly a novelty to anyone, but what does one do with a Siamese cat who could rival any actress of stage or screen? My cat Debbie is a ham. When Debbie first came to live with us, she seemed to be a play- ful, normal kitten with slanted blue eyes. Little did I dream what dramatic fires burned within her sleek, beige coat. Her hidden tal- ent first appeared shortly after she battled unsuccessfully with some terrible unseen foe perhaps as large as a bee. Mother gently bathed Debbie's afflicted paw and bandaged it with Epsom salts and a clean, old sock. Then the mo- ment of revelation occured. After being placed on the floor, Debbie took a few fairly confident steps, and looking slyly back over her shoulder at Mother, she dramati- cally and heavily flopped on her side, heaving a great sigh. With a glassy look in her eyes, Debbie lay there motionless until Mother very sympathetically removed the light bandage, saying, "Poor little kittie, does your paw hurt too much for you to even move?" As if in answer Debbie shook free from the hand stroking her and bounded energetically into the next room, forgetting to limp at all. Weighing only nine pounds, Debbie seemed to be a mild little animal that took naps in the sun. She was—sometimes. But no one could ever convince our milkman to come within ten feet of that gentle cat, because for him Debbie put on her devouring beast act. She always seemed to know just Randolph when the man would walk into the kitchen. While the milkman was rattling bottles in the refriger- ator, a small shape would ooze around the corner into the room with teeth bared and ears flatten- ed against its skull. Emitting a low but deadly growl, Debbie made her grand entry. Clanking bottles together in his rush, the poor man would turn on his heel and leave, glancing back over his shoulder as if to assure himself that Debbie wasn't going to spring fiercely upon him. In appcarance Debbie couldn't be identified as the Hollywood type. Possessing blue eyes with a definite slant, she did look a trifle Oriental, but her beige-brown col- oring was very American. In fact, one might say that Debbie was an "it" girl, even if she weren't as blond as Clara Bow or any other star of the silent movies. Her low- slung lines were definitely differ- ent, even if they did result from the fact that she was too lazy to hold in her stomach. Like every good actress, Debbie had favorite foods that would gag any sensible person. Daintly licking her dish, she could put away quite a bit of raw steak and then prove her individuality as an artist by hiccuping loudly. In cat-age Debbie is ncaring middle life. It has been said that some true talent doesn't reach fruitage until a person is mature. If Debbie's acting hasn't reached its peak before now, I shudder to think what new routines she may have worked up by the next time I sec her. This Lab . . . Is For The Birds CHAT - N - NIBBLE The Following Individuals Are Entitled to One Free Malt by Bringing This Ad With Them Darlene Zempel Wayne Widicker Refresh Yourself at the CHAT by Connie Stutchman In a recent conversation with two students, I found that they were engaged in an exciting, ad- venturous, somewhat dangerous, and believe it or not, educational laboratory experience. These twe students who parti- cipated in this lab, and were asked to give reports at the state Orni- thology association in Hastings, were John Sharp and Roland Bland. Ornithology lab is especially in- teresting since it is outdoors, ad- venturous in that each day leads to new discoveries, and somewhat dangerous with the possibility of falling out of a tree or being at- tacked by parent birds, educational in that the students obtain know- ledge of nesting, feeding, and the ratio of survival for their own benefit and the benefit of others since they obtained both pictures and tape recordings. 50 ft. every morning Roland chose to study a pair of red-tailed hawks. He located their nest on a Sabbath afternoon drive some 50 feet from the ground near the John McArthur farm. The pair built a disorderly nest of twigs some 3 feet thick having a shallow cup lined with tree bark and corn shucks. Every day Roland climbs 50 feet high to observe the nestlings, but in no way molests the nest or its contents. Bland says that the parent birds feed the young most small rodents and some greenery. At one time there were two baby hawks but upon returning one day Roland found that one had disappeared. The parent hawks are very shy and hard to observe closely. On one occasion Bland attempted to photograph the parent birds at night by climbing the tree. He got within 15 feet of the parent hawks before they flew. The red-tailed hawk has a wing span of about 4'A feet. It is com- mon in Nebraska and is present all winter. They were quite help- ful in keeping nature in balance, Bland said. Bland said the most humorous observation was watching fellow observers climb the tree. Bird attacks John Sharp, a junior religion major, chose to watch a logger- headed shrike, a bird about the size of a robin, who can sight insects at 50 yards. When the shrike has captured its prey, it attaches it to a thorn or barbed-wire fence, very seldom returning to eat the insect. These birds usually eat small rodents and insects, but in case of food scarcity, will eat small birds and snakes, according to Sharp. The shrike is a very vicious bird, who is very adept at driving other birds from its territory. It also tries to keep bird watchers away as John could tell you. Sharp was attacked three times while examining the nest after the young had hatched. An early migratory bird, the shrike shows up in this area in mid-March. Sharp has recordings of the parent shrike while near the nest. Sharp observed the birds for an average of l'A hours per day for 16 days, until the tree was pushed over by a road grader and all six nestlings were killed. YOU'RE COOL AND CALM . . .

Mr. Britain has been the associate dean at Pacific Union College for the past three years. Ho has served as dean of men and a Bible teacher at Sunnydale Acad- emy. Mr. and Mrs. Britain have two children. English Coming to the Union College English Department is Mr. Bruce A. Ronk. Mr. Ronk received his Bachelor's Degree from EMC in 1959 and is getting his Master's from Andrews University this sum- mer. Mr. and Mrs. Ronk will ar- rive this September. Biology Mr. Gene Johnson, general biol- ogy teacher at Walla Walla Col- lege, will temporarily replace Mr. A. E. Perry, instructor in biology, who will be on leave. Johnson, who will teach gen- eral zoology and field zoology courses, is doing graduate work at Walla Walla. Under a research fellowship he will do research work under Dr. Ra)tnond Ryckman, en- tomologist at Loma Linda Univer- sity, during the summer before coming to Union. Part of his sum- mer study will be in Mexico, ac- cording to Dr. Neil W. Rowland, professor of biology. Mr. Perry will assist Dr. B. P. Glass at Oklahoma State Univer- sity. Dr. Glass has received a Na- tional Institute of Health grant for three years to work on the problem of determining the age of Mexican free-tailed hats. Perry will gather information for his doctoral disser- tation while assisting Glass, Dr. Rowland said. Chemistry Mr. Leonard Ponder, instructor in chemistry, is leaving Union to accept a research assignment with Karrier Research Inc. in Syracuse, New York. While with Karrier, Ponder will do research in air conditioning and heating. Graduating with a major in chemistry from Southern Missionary Stepp Points Up Need Ot Audio-Visual Aids Audio-visual aids was the topic of discussion presented by Dr. Robert Stepp, head of the audio- visual aids department of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, in the third faculty seminar held May 17. Stepp has given lectures through- out the state on the use of audio- visual aids. "He has access to all the modern visual aids that are on the market," said Mr. C. L. Gcmmel, associate professor of edu- cation and psychology. "The chief purpose of this semi- nar was to see what is available in the field of audio-visual aids," said Dr. Neil W. Rowland, profes- sor of biology and leader of the seminar. "This is one reason why the junior and senior education students were invited to attend," he said. Stepp turned on a tape recorder, an overhead projector, a regular projector, and a record player. Each of these was showing or tell- ing about modem-day happenings the world over. His point was that all of the modem happenings are working upon the students in the classrooms today. "For a teacher to get through to them is a real chal- lenge," said Howard Cash, senior business major and student teacher in the academy who attended the lecture. Union College has most of the equipment which was shown by Dr. Stepp, said Rowland. Rowland remarked that "visual aids are good if they are used with discretion, but they don't take the place of lectures." College in 1961, Ponder has been at Union since then working on a special research project on the pyro-phosphatase enzyme. Music Miss Eleanor Attarian, assistant professor of music, is leaving Union College after six years on the staff. She will marry Dr. Chester Wahlen of Glendale, California. She has been teaching private piano lessons, Music Appreciation, Form and Analysis, Keyboard Methods, and music history and literature classes. "This has been a rewarding six years of teaching," Miss Attarian said. "I will miss all of my students and friends that I have made while here." The Union College music faculty is undergoing several changes in personnel for next year. Two in- coming teachers are Miss Mar- velyn Loewen and Mr. R. A. Mur- ray.

Juniors Take Top Honors At Annual School Outing The junior class ran away with the over-all honors at the all school outing on Wednesday May 9, at Pioneer Park. The juniors racked up a total of 82'A points. Their closest rival was the sophomore class with 45 points, followed By the freshmen class with 43 points and the senior class with 3 points. Kiff Achord took first place in the 100 yd. dash, with Dan Duff placing a close sccond. Jim Pastor won the 440 yd. dash, while Dan Duff again came in second.

Chemistry, Education Score High In Tests Graduate Record exam results place ninety-six seniors in the mid- dle of the national scale of college seniors. Every senior took area tests in social science, humanities, and natural science. Advanced tests were given to fifty-nine seniors in nine major fields. Thirty-seven took the general aptitude test rather than the major field tests. In the advanced area tests, the outstanding departments were chemistry and education. Eight chemistry majors and fourteen edu cation majors averaged higher than all other seniors in the country. This year natural science was the area test in which the seniors did their best in. Humanities was the senior's low as has been the case in past years. According to Dr. G. L. Caviness,, academic dean, "the new fine arts requirement for a B.A. degree will strengthen the students in that area." Student Center Board Plans for Expansion The ASB and Student Center Board are discussing plans to en- large the Center. The remodeling project would include refurnishing room 209 with three or four tables and about 30 upholstered folding chairs. Thus the room could be arranged in an informal seminar style for classes and could also double as a meet- ing place for student committees and group study. Other suggested changes include moving maps and blackboards to the south wall. They would be hid- den by draw drapes when not in classroom use. A large accordian door would be put in the north wall connecting 209 with the pres- ent Student Center. Gifford Sworn In As ASB President Inauguration of the new Asso- ciated Student Body president for the 1962-63 school year took place during the convocation period May 11. Steve Gifford, who will be a senior ministerial student next year, was given the oath of office by Mitchell Tyner, chief justice of the ASB Supreme Court. In his inaugural address, Gifford compared the ASB to a ship travel- ing on an ocean. "We can either wallow in the sea of uncertainty without the energy or the desire needed to reach our destination," Gifford said, "or else we can pull together and head straight for our goal—a vessel of security safe in the port of success." Gifford presented three goals for the new ASB administration. He said that the new officers must build upon the platform estab- lished by the previous administra- tion. The second objective is to promote an increased feeling of unity and cooperation between the Lincoln and the Denver campuses, between the new and the old students, and between the vari- ous college organizations. Finally, Gifford expressed the desire that everyone have the feeling that "Christ is permeating our ASB organization." Donald Tan, ASB president for 1961-1962, said in his farewell speech that during his administra- tion he became aware of the need for some improvements in the form of student government. He de- clared the present ASB constitution "antiquated." Tan proposed that the House of Representatives be abolished and legislative power given to a Stu- dent Council composed of ASB of- ficers, faculty members, and mem- bers elected from the general stu- dent body. M. Tyner Will Lead College View MV New MV officers for the coming year were inaugurated last Friday night during the final MV program of the year. Mitchell Tyner will be the lead- er for the 1962-1963 school term. Assistant leaders are Jerry Aitken, Evelyn Bird, Judy Gray, and Paul Gibson. The program was highlighted by the traditional candle-lighting ceremony. The outgoing officers gave lighted candles, s)"mbolizing the transfer of office, to those who are to fill their positions in the MV society next year. Other officers to see duty in MV work next year are Nancy Cachero, secretary; Beth Mazat and JoAnne Carcich, assistant secretaries; chor- isters, Bob Tan and Melvyn Ruy- balid; organists, Dale Jensen and Janet Wasemiller; pianists, Jim Gardiner and Harri Hohensee.

Ruth Atkinson will be secretary in Rees Hall and Vernon Barton will be dormitory secretary in South Hall. Dan Fausset and Kitt Watts are the devotional secretaries. Master Guide leader is Tom Neslund and the MV artist is Gwen Horn. The program last Friday night reviewed some of the MV activities of the past year. Earlier in the year prayer bands were formed in Rees Hall to correspond with mis- sionaries overseas. A few of the interesting replies were read to the students. A first hand report of tho trip that the new officers made to Madison, Tennessee, a short time ago was given also. We want to thank all UC students for giving us the chance to serve you.

College Presents Key Many have found collegiate life a challenging and suc- cessful experience; others have not found it as successful as they might have wished it to be. The results, to a large de- gree, have been a direct return for the individual effort put into the past months or years of college life. Semester tests, graduate record exams and term papers and only die beginning of the test of college experience, not the end. The true testing crucible is in the months and years that will follow. Those who are graduating in a few days will have to take the myriad of facts, figures and formulae learned in class and transform them into useful tools to shape the future of their own lives and the future of society. It is here that the true test of a college education comes. Classroom instruction gives an awareness of what the future might hold, but the products of life and experience will show the worth of time and money spent in the halls of higher education. To claim that a college degree fills anyone with enough facts to answer all the questions of the future is pure folly. Collegiate life instills some facts, and many sources. Rather than giving all the answers it gives the direc- tions and ability to find the answers. It prepares persons to have open, inquiring minds that will search out the answers to questions that must be met. Much has been learned from books. More is to be learned from experience. Individual effort is the key that will unlock the door of success in the future as it has in the past. A college degree is not the key; it is the light that guides the key to its mark. Join The Forward Look Pre-registration, election of new officers, and their in- auguration certainly prove that this year is nearly past and the forward look toward the year '62-'63 is in order. As we plan our class schedules for next year, we need also to plan our extra-curricular activities. The CLOCK TOWER editorial staff for '62-'63 is already laying plans for an up-to-die-minute campus newspaper. This can best be accomplished with die interest and work of a large number of students. So if you have a yen to help present the news "when it happens, as it happens," and if you like to write, drop a letter to the editor, stop her in the hallway, or send a tele- gram saying you'd like to be an active part of the "voice of Union College."

The stu- dent must make for himself the time to listen to his own thoughts and think quietly to himself. Many times, it boils down to not how we feel about issues, but whether we feel at all ."—The Denver Clar- ion, University of Denver. Mature Action Called For Upon Campus Thoroughfare by Steve Gifford 1 had never seen a more beautiful clay at Union. The trees and grass were green, flowers were jumping out of the ground, and the entire campus was regenerated with the new life of a spring atmos- phere. Nature outdid herself to create a pleasant day. Then it happened. A blue ear peeled down the college drive, penetrating and shattering the peace of the spring evening. I watched tho car as it carcened to a near-stop at the stop sign several hundred feet away, then peeled off again. My mind began to wander. Christ was twenty years old once. What if He, as a twenty-year-old, was projected into our life at Union College? Picture Him driving a powerful car clown our college drive. By any stretch of your imagina- tion, can you vision Him stomping on the accelerator and driving furiously past the parked cars? Christianity has a special objective for an individual, and that objective is maturity. The supreme goal of every human being should be happiness. Although an atheist would heartily disagree, Christians believe that the only way happiness can be gained is through the living maturity that Christ brings. I believe that the Lord has a standard of maturity for each individual, depending on his age and experience. It seems only logical, then, that the college student who drives as an eighth grader, has the maturity of an eighth grader, else he would not drive in that manner. The next step is to assume that a personality or character deficiency is causing this immaturity. As I write this article, I'm watching Union College students walk past my window. You see, it's another quiet, tranquil spring evening. But for how long? Only you, the careless, immature driver of the blue car, and the other children at the wheel can answer. I pray that you wake up before someone pays with his life for your immaturity. Graduation We've studied, worked, it seems for years; Sometimes read poetry in tears, Mixed Sophocles and selling trends And burned the candle at both ends. We breezed through Shakespeare with a flair Just pausing long enough for air, Then business law, to keep in trim, And Dr. Evard's biochem. The last semester, would it pass? With eager ears we sat in class To catch that last, now priceless gem And fit it in our diadem. Almost to finals, what a chore Term papers, quizzes, tests galore. "You're seniors now, you must not slack!" The straw that broke the camel's back, Both furiously and fast we wrote 'Twas "now or never," "sink or float." That one last test, it now is past And graduation's here at last. by Charles Russell, '62 Lakes, Yeagers, Pair Of Frosh Twins Find Fun, Frustration As Look Alikes Not only does it prove a someone just like ybu to than one. Photos by Anderson lot of fun, being doubles, but it can prove helpful. Just imagine having set your hair or help with that assignment for which two heads are better What is it like to be a twin? Most of us have wondered at some time or another. The Freshmen class this year has two sets of them. Myrna and Martin Lake from Mul- len, Nebraska, and Karon and Karol Yeager from Boulder, Colorado. Let's see what they say about it. "I used to hate it with a passion," says Martin. 'It's got its problems," says Myrna, "but I kind of like it." Karon and Karol Yeager look at it differently. "We've never been L editors Dear Editor: One clay last week, the clay of the real heavy, sudden rain, you may have noticed your car win- dows were rolled up by some un- known person. It was not only your car windows, hut also ours and every other car along the row. I just thought you'd be inter- ested to know that it was Kyle Grant, superintendent of buildings, who did this thoughtful, courteous, and Christian act, and who also was seen coming into the adminis- tration building minutes later drenched. Sincerely, Connie Stutcliman by Betty Hills anything else, so we don't really know." Karol states, "I guess it's all right, but at times it sure can have its disadvantages as well as its ad- vantages." Social Security "Some of the advantages," say the Yeager twins, "are that you have a roommate all the time, you don't have to worry about hurting the other person's feelings if you feel like spouting off, and people know how you are when they see you. (pause) Well, at least they know we're the Yeagcrs!" With Myrna and Martin, it's a little bit different. Although they're twins, they don't look too much alike, especially since one wears pants, and the other wears skirts. Myrna says, "Whenever we have problems, we can take them to each other. It's a good sense of se- curity to have him there when I want to talk to him." Then there are the disadvan- tages. Karon and Karol seem to be afflicted more by these because they look so much alike that only their best friends can tell them a- part. "The trouble with being a twin is that we aren't individuals," com- plain Karol and Karon. "It's al- ways the twins this and the twins that, or Yeagcrs this and that. And we're always being compared. They line us up and scrutinize us—pick out a defining mole, or determine who's the taller, and then, they can't remember which one was tal- ler or which one had the mole any- way!" "We don't try to mix people up," Karol says. "In fact, there are times when we wish they'd keep us straight. One time she put the cat in the refrigerator, and I got the spanking." Wrong Girlfriend When asked if they'd ever tried to mix up their boyfriends, Karen laughed and said, "One time Ka- mi's boyfriend mistakenly grabbed in)- hand and started down the road. I kept saying 'I'm not Karol, I'm not Karol.' By the time lie got tho right one, he was really em- barrassed." Myrna and Martin's problems run in a different line. Myma says, "They all think I'm Martin's girl- friend; it never occurs to them that we're twins." She relates a small incident of years ago. "One time Martin went to the house crying to mother, 'Do I have to do everything Myrna says? She says because we are twins, I have to do everything she says.'" She chuckles, "Can you blame me for using this method for trying to make him do what I wanted him to do?" In spite of the disadvantages, all agreed that it's a wonderful exper- ience to be a twin.
