officers chosen, plans made as Literary Club organizes Lynnet Reiner was elected president of the Literary Club at the organizational meeting on October 1. Mrs. Reiner was ed- itor of the 1968-69 Clock Tower and is a senior English major. Other officers elected were Jo- lene Lang, Vice-president; Jac- que Rieboldt, Publicity Secre- tary; Kelly Killion, Business Manager; and Jerry Moon, Pen- dulum Editor. Club sponsors are Dr. Opal Hagelgantz, chairman of the English Department, and Mr. Tom Munroe, instructor of English. During the October 1 meeting, it was decided that the club would meet during the 11:10 period on Wednesdays. It was also decided that no dues would be collected from club members and that instead the club would present entertainment programs on two Sa'/urday nights and charge admission to finance their activities. Activity plans include the pre- sentation of one-act plays and readings. Folk songs as a form of literature will be explored and folk groups will perform. Another tentative plan is the formation of a group in coopera- tion with the College Relations Office to do promotional work in the academies. These students would visit different academies to present skits and plays. The club publication, the Pen- dulum, a collection of student poetry, prose, and art work, will be published during Kaleidoscope Week in the spring. There will be two contests for entries for the Pendulum, one ending in De- cember and one in March, re- ports editor Jerry Moon. Widening the spectrum of the club's activities to include the interests of more students is the goal of the Literary Club this year, says Vice-president Jolene Lang, sophomore English major. "The club is not restricted to English majors," continued Miss Lang. "Anyone interested in the creative arts is invited to join and participate in club activ- ities." Mr. D. J.

The program is designed to build a working relationship be- tween students and faculty in which both give of their services for God and mankind in a hu- manitarian endeavor. Hi-Point offers midday break Discussions and musical groups will highlight the Hi-Point pro- grams this year, according to Marge Devnich and Dale Row- land, chairmen of the Hi-Point committee. Hi-Point is held Tuesday through Thursday at 12:05 and ten minutes after chapel on Monday and Friday in the South Hall worship room. Miss Devnich expressed the wish that Hi-Point "would provide every student the opportunity to stop in his busy schedule and spend a few mo- ments in thought." Dr. Glenn Davenport, Director of College Relations, states, "the former students of Union Col- lege who are at the other ends of the 'Golden Cords' are depending on the faculty and students at home base to help them in the support of the great mission pro- gram." This year a student and a staff member will work together to organize each car. Each student will be contacted individually for his participation. On Oct. 15 ev- eryone will meet in the gym at 8 a.m. Seventy-two territories in the Lincoln vicinity and south- east Nebraska will be covered by 5:30 that afternoon. Next Monday, Oct. 13, Elder Perry Pedersen, Lay Activities Secretary of the Central Union, will launch this program in chapel, along with Elder O. L. McLean, Lay activities Secretary of the Nebraska Conference. "The cooperative spirit man- ifest toward participation in the Ingathering program by the fac- ulty and staff is certainly com- mendable," says Dr. Davenport. Camp Arrowhead, near Lex- ington, Nebraska, will be the site of the Adventist Education As- sociation retreat this weekend. An attendance of nearly 90 has been estimated, including many students who plan to become teachers, a few teachers from Union College, and other teach- ers from the Nebraska Confer- ence. The program for the week- end has been planned around the theme, "Dedication to the Min- istry of Teaching." "By focusing on this theme and exploring it in the various meetings scheduled, we hope to have a weekend of inspiration as well as fellowship," stated Dr. M. E. Wolford, Professor of Ed- ucation and one of the sponsors of the retreat. Friday night vespers will be led by Elder L. G. Barker, Cen- tral Union Education Secretary. The speaker at both Sabbath and Sunday morning worships will be Elder C. M. Willison, North- ern Union Education Secretary, while Elder J. H. Harris, Central Union MV Secretary, will speak at the Sabbath morning church hour. Sabbath evening vespers will be led by Elder H. C. Reile, Nebraska Conference Education Superintendent, and the Satur- day night campfire will be directed by Elder W. E. Jamer- son, Nebraska Conference MV Secretary. This retreat was planned and organized under the joint direc- tion of the Adventist Education Association and the Education Department of Union College. It is the first major activity of the AEA this year. The officers of the AEA for the school year 1969-70 have already been elected and are as follows: Vonnie Kerr, President; Valerie Calkins, Vice-president; Glenda March, Secretary-Treas- ured; and Glen Wintermeyer, Public Relations. Roger Robinett rehearses his cello solo for "The Sound of the New" tomorrow night. Kathy Brown is his accompanist. Members of the Afro-American Club met on Sunday, October 5 to elect officers for the school year 1969-70. The president, Hen- derson Patrick, was elected last school year. In the organization- al meeting Jennifer White was elected vice president, Sharon Williams was elected secretary, Cassandra Draggon was elected treasurer, and Carmelo Calderon was elected pastor. Elder James H. Melancon, Instructor in Re- ligion, is sponsoring the club this year. Patrick stated that the pur- pose of the club was "to foster activities that will promote fur- ther awareness of Afro-Amer- ican cultural heritage and tradi- tion, both in the community and the campus of Union College." Patrick also stated that the club hoped to become more involved in the community by participat- ing in Thanksgiving basket dis- tribution, by sponsoring a fash- ion show, and by presenting pro- grams on the Afro-Americans. mysterious special feature will highlight talent program, says committee chairman The new students of Union College will be featured at the New Student Talent Program, Saturday night, October 11, at eight o'clock. The theme of this year's pro- gram is "The Sound of the New." Dr. George Thomson, general ad- visor of the Associated Student Body and chairman of the his- tory department, will emcee the program. The Program Produc- tions Committee reports that something of special interest to the students is to be presented. Although further details were not given, it was indicated that this special addition has never before been presented at this program and that it will involve more students. The purpose of the New Stu- dent Talent Program, as stated by the Program Productions Committee, is threefold. Primar- ily, the purpose is to involve the new students in the ASB and to make them feel a part of Union College. Secondarily, the program is designed to reveal the new talent on the Union College campus Also, the program allows the old students to become acquainted with the new. "The general feeling of the campus is that the New Student Talent Program has been one of the best of the school year," stated committee chairman, Jim Chilson. "Our committee has at- tempted to keep this same high quality this year." 2 THE CLOCK TOWER October 10, 1969 editorials right, by chance? letters the other side "Even o fool must now and then be right, by chance."—Cowper "ln a case of dissension< never dare to judge till you've heard the other side."—Euripides "school spirit" redefined We imagine millions of insipid editorials have been penned on the nebulous metaphysical substance termed "school spirit." But lit- tle thought is given to those small things that demonstrate the presence or absence of this apparently extra-curricular scholastic ghost. Certain items such as a high percentage of students voting in ASB elections have been touted as indicative of "good school spirit." This is no doubt true. But on a less dramatic level, school spirit-or the lack of it is often demonstrated by actions which go almost unnoticed. For instance, does a student show concern for the happiness of "the other guy," to drop the wrapper of his ice cream bar on the stairway as he leaves the cafeteria? What about the person who "borrows" the parlor newspaper for an hour or two? Or the fellow who apparently believes that the food in the kitchenette refrigera- tor is common property? All these things reflect a lack of concern for the rights and happiness of others; a lack, if you please, of school spirit. In fact, school spirit has little to do with the whooping and hol- lering of excited students at an intramural basketball game, desir- able as this may be. Rather, school spirit involves a pervading sense of oneness among all the students—a consciousness that underlying the diver- sity of our many individual interests and aspirations, most of us share one common goal, one common cause, toward which we at- tempt to bend our best efforts. That cause, of course, is the prop- agation of the Advent message to the world. Each person of integrity bears a responsibility, not only to reach his own academic goals, but also to contribute to the happiness and progress of his fellow students. School spirit truly exists at Union College when it can be said of the majority of the students: that each willingly subordinates his interests to the welfare of his neighbor. Greater student maturity, responsibility and integrity will make unnecessary these prosaic, insipid editorials. JM we want your letters Recent comments to the editors have indicated that we have failed to make our feelings clear with regard to letters and com- ments from our readers. This is an unfortunate situation, and one which we wish to remedy. The Clock Tower is anxious to hear from its readers, both through conversations with the editors and through letters. Our hope is to publish a paper which the students will read and be stim- ulated by, whether they agree or disagree with what is said. If, how- ever, the students do not let us know what they are thinking about, we face the danger of printing a paper which only the editors un- derstand and read. We are anxious, furthermore, to have an active letters column. At the risk of becoming repetitious, we would like to emphasize the truth of what we say in our letters policy: "All letters submitted in accordance with this policy will be printed, space permitting." There appears to be some cynicism among the students about such a state- ment, for a variety of reasons. We invite the cynics to send us a let- ter and try us.

Young men are crit- icized for their long hair. Young ladies are criticized for their skirt lengths. "The dears ought to do something about it," seems to be a frequent comment. I am disgusted with this attitude. When Mary was thrown at Jesus' feet and condemned as an adultress, did Jesus condemn her? Did he say, "Mary, you shouldn't have done that?" Of course not. But neither did he condone her action. He simply told her, "Go, and sin no more." How much love are we showing by criticism? How do we reflect Christ by such an attitude? We must begin to see these young people as they are and un- derstand them. What are they trying to tell us by their long hair and short skirts? Could it possibly be that they are plead- ing for someone to see their needs and help them? Could each long, shaggy mane be an SOS? Could a short skirt be a plea: "I want to know who I am but I don't know how to find the answer . . . Help me!"? When are we going to tune in? When are we going to throw out the lifeline? When are we going to "Christshine?" When? When it is too late? Valerie calkins, Junior elementary education major United Fund correction Dear Editor, Your story in the Sept. 26 issue about the United Appeal for the Lincoln Community Chest was fine, except for a couple decimal points. Our goal for this year is $1250.00, not $12,500 as was re- ported, and last year we raised almost twelve hundred dollars, not almost twelve thousand as it was reported. It would be wonder- ful if we did raise $12,000.00, and maybe we will if we all really give, but just to set the record straight, let's raise the $1250.00 first!

I like to go perhaps-ing around on oil subjects."—Frost This section of the Clock Tower is intended to deol primarily with subjects of on-campus interest. Opinions expressed are always those of the writer; they do not necessarily represent those of Union College, the Associated Student Body or the editorial staff. opinion Are student demonstrations and violence ever justified? If so, under what circumstonces? If not, how otherwise can students make their viewpoints heard? protests can help I think student demonstra- tions, without violence, can be and many times are justifiable. When a student or group of students have something they feel is important to say, they have three ways in which they can do it. CT of limited value First, they can appeal to the administration, which may or may not decide to put the idea across. Second, they can write it up in the school paper, with maybe a fifty percent response from the fifty percent of the students who glance through the paper. (There is also the chance that the ed- itor may decide not to publish it.) Third, they can hold a peace- ful, organized demonstration, demonstration arouses curiosity A demonstration is a natural way to stir up curiosity. When people (and students) see a dem- onstration going on they flock around out of plain curiosity, and before you know it, you have a real crowd complete with press and television coverage. Although some demonstrations have been held in an idiotic fashion (throwing rocks at the police, etc.), this does not mean that demonstrations have to be illegal or injurious. Take, for ex- Iowa City, la.—(I.P.)—"A uni- versity views dissent as an ac- ceptable means of bringing about change but can never accept the position that a small group can destroy both the processes and institutions of freedom." James Chapman, associate dean of student affairs at The University of Iowa, offers this view in a recently published pa- per, "Student Militancy on the College Campus." "A college or university must be willing to institute reform," Dean Chapman says, "but it will not be forced to the point of ac- cepting revolution as a means of change." Citing a wide range of opinion and his own experience, Dean Chapman discusses the "historical roots" of student mil- itancy, its causes and his sug- gestions for needed reform in higher education in general. "The problem of student mil- itancy," he states, "has its his- torical roots in college students becoming directly involved in the civil rights movement in the South in the early 1960s. This idealism and enthusiasm has turned in the direction of dif- ferent segments of our society and in particular to institutions of higher learning." Dean Chapman cites what he thinks are four major causes of student militancy: teaching is "being slighted by a majority of the faculties;" emphasis on "the development of rational process- es" is neglecting "the dreams, hopes, and rights of other peo- ple;" many college administra- tors are preoccupied "with the ample, a particular demonstra- tion in Southern California last summer. The National Guard put up barricades, ready for one of the biggest showdowns in dem- onstration history. But instead of violence, the demonstrators hung flowers on the barricades. They got their point across. Don Hensel, Freshman Aeronautics Major communication vital Basically demonstrations are caused by a feeling of loss of human identity on the part of the students on a large univer- sity campus. They are treated as a number on a computer card, herded in large classes, taught by instructors who would rather be doing something else. By demonstrating, they may be able to achieve some form of recog- nition. Another cause of demonstra- tion is a breakdown or a total lack of communication channels with the administration. A prop- erly conducted demonstration may achieve a constructive pur- pose in opening up channels of communication. violence intolerable On the other hand violence cannot be tolerated. Scenes such as took place on the campus of Cornell University where admin- istrators were held at gun point, building of an institution rather than the development of individ- uals;" and "the typical student of today is 'action oriented' rath- er than passively involved in the discussion of ideas and issues." "We are prone to be pragmatic people," Dean Chapman says, "and look for rewards in the con- struction of a building or the de- velopment of a program or the proper administration of an of- fice which comes under our re- sponsibility. The axiom that a great idea initiates an institu- tion, and the institution in turn can kill the great idea, is easily overlooked by many administra- tors." As "workable solutions" to these problems in higher educa- tion, he suggests first that "a premium must be placed upon excellence in the classroom and professors rewarded by appro- priate recognition and promo- tion." Dean Chapman suggests that "a college or university must convey in principle and pro- grams that it is committed to basic virtues," not simply in "the business of dispensing tidbits of knowledge." "The members of SDS (Stu- dents for a Democratic Society) convey an attitude of moral su- periority," Dean Chapman says, "so even in their desire to de- stroy our society they have es- tablished a standard or expecta- tion for their behavior that is not consistent with their actions. It seems to me that their tactics are forcing one's position and harassing people." property damage at Columbia University, or Montreal where a $2 million computer was destroy- ed, can never be justified and the violators must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The responsibility to maintain con- trol of the campus rests with the administration, and one must approve the firm stand taken by such men as S. Hiarakawa of San Francisco State College or Father Hesbaugh at Notre Dame Uni- versity. This fall Dr. Vance Rog- ers, president of Nebraska Wes- leyan University, stated his pol- icies in no uncertain terms to the entering freshmen: All chan- nels of communication will be open to the students, but vi- olence and riots in any form will not be tolerated. By taking a firm stand college administra- tors can prevent most demon- strations and eliminate all vi- olence. no violence at UC Among our SDA schools the situation is somewhat different. A couple of years ago I witnessed a rather distasteful demonstra- tion on a college campus. On the other hand, the demonstration against smoking carried out by the students at PUC last spring deserves our support. On our own UC campus I have not yet de- tected any feelings which could lead to demonstrations and vi- olence, but rather a sense of apathy in certain instances. The administration of the college is to be commended for its part in He suggests that the university and the society which it repre- sents must themselves, in con- trast, reflect "wisdom, courage, temperance and justice." He also stresses the impor- tance of internal reform initiat- ed by higher education itself, while making a clear distinction between "reform and revolu- tion." "This reform establishes the rightful position of what a university considers its mission to be, both to its students and to society," Dean Chapman con- cludes. five groups in Sunshine Bands Sunshine Bands this year are scheduled to meet in the church at 1:30 p.m. each Sabbath after- noon. At the church five smaller groups will form to visit Orth- opedic Hospital, Lincoln Gen- eral Hospital, Cedars' Orphan- age, Whitehall State School, and Homestead Nursing Home. Group leaders are Rich Carl- son, Orthopedic; Dave Olson, Lincoln General; Judy Gerst, Cedars' Orphanage; Janice Hill, Whitehall; and Debbie Miller, Homestead. "Sabbath afternoon Sunshine Bands for 1969-70 are going to be fun and rewarding for all," states organization chairman, Gordon Doss. Doss also stated that it was not necessary that participants be soloists or minis- terial students and encouraged all to attend. opening up more channels of communication with the stu- dents such as student represen- tation on the curriculum com- mittee and Teacher Education council. Similar procedures will need to be taken in other phases of school life, such as social reg- ulations and discipline, in order to continue the development of better understanding. This will eliminate to a great extent the purpose of possible future dem- onstrations. In the seventies stu- dents want to become more in- volved in the affairs of the school and will want to know the reasons and principles be- hind the regulations, both aca- demic and social. Rene Evard, Professor of Chemistry often no alternative Student demonstrations and violence are not only justified but are very often the only way for students to let their views be known. Because most students are not old enough to vote and because most institutions of higher learning do not give their students an active roll in the running of their schools, violence and demonstrations are often the only road left open through which a student can be heard, students should have active role When I speak of an active role in running their universities I do not mean a puppet student gov- ernment whose every action is subject to the veto of the uni- versity staff. I rather mean a strong student government which has sole power in certain areas which have no effect on the learning part of the univer- sity, such as dormitory rules, and has secondary power on all issues which affect the school as a whole, such as the planning of a curriculum. If such an active role is not granted, then the only real alternative left open to the con- cerned student is that of the demonstration. national results gained Student demonstrations based on national issues, such as the war in Vietnam, racial prejudice, and the selective service are cer- tainly justified and proper. Lack- ing the power of the ballot and the money to lobby, the demon- stration is really the best way for groups of concerned students to let their national leaders know how they feel. It is also quite an effective way, as Nixon's draft reductions, a step taken admit- tedly to try to stop student dem- onstrations, prove, violence undesirable method Violence added to a demon- stration very often causes an ad- verse reaction. However, it does bring quick results and some- times even satisfactory ones. Students who choose violence as a method of demonstration should be willing to martyr and pay the price of their violence. If a student believes strongly enough in his cause to go to jail for his violence then I believe he is justified. However, personally I believe that violence is a poor means of obtaining a desired end. Student demonstrations are definitely justifiable. As long as there is no other way for stu- dents to be heard, the picket sign should and will remain his only effective weapon.

In "B" league action, Baptist took the lead with an impressive show of strength, blanking Fea- ther 19-0 and then smashing Juniors win class tourney On Wednesday, October 1, the Junior class football team de- feated the Freshman team 13-7, while the Senior team dropped the Sophomores 13-0. The Jun- iors went on to win the class championship game, topping the Seniors 13-7, and in the final game of the night, the Soph- omores edged the Freshmen by another 13-7 count. The class games were spon- sored by Sigma Iota Kappa, and Bruce Aalborg, the club pres- ident, made the arrangements for the games. The Junior class team is scheduled to play a team of faculty members at a later date. Petersen 56-13. Petersen also lost to Pilon, 18-6, while Trujillo got his season off to a successful start by dropping Mitchell 7-0. On Thursday evening, Mitchell and Feather battled to a 13-13 tie in a genuine cliff-hanger. The "A" league game between Skinner and Poleschook and the "B" league clash between Pilon and Trujillo, both scheduled for Wednesday evening, were can- celled to allow the playing of the inter-class games. Mandzuk takes first soccer game Men's soccer action at Union this year finds two teams taking part. Team captains are Darcy Mandzuk and Gary Thiry. Mandzuk took the first game of the season 2-0, with captain Darcy Mandzuk scoring both goals himself. Goalie Jim Wheel- ing turned in the shutout for Mandzuk's team. Women's intramural soccer play has also begun, and reports of these games will be carried in future Clock Towers. | STANDINGS FOOTBALL "A" League W L T Pet.

Never in the mem- ory of veteran Washington ob- servers has the air so crackled with excitement and verve. Typical, perhaps, of the flam- boyant new leaders is one of the best-known members of Mr. Nix- on's cabinet, Secretary of Com- merce Maurine Stans (or "Gans," (cq) as he is sometimes mis- takenly called). Eight months ago, Mr. Grans (cq) was an unknown. Indeed, when Mr. Nixon introduced his new cabinet members on nation- wide television, he forgot to mention his name. Today, of course, Maurice Fans (cq) is a household word. Part of the credit must go to the new secretary's hard-hitting publicity campaign. What news- paper reader will ever forget the photograph of Secretary Krans Renk to lead Pen Pushers Janice Renk was elected pres- ident of the Pen Pushers Club at the October 2 organizational session. Other officers elected by the thirty-five members pres- ent at the supper meeting were Lorraine Flemmer, vice-pres- ident; Sylvia Greer, secretary- treasurer; Marleen Waller, pub- licity secretary; RaeJean Gard- iner, bulletin board chairman; and Linda Kelly, reporter. Plans for club activities In- clude a field trip to Omaha, to visit several businesses there, the spring banquet and several money-making projects to fill the club treasury. The club is open to secretarial science majors and minors. It is organized to give Its members a look at the wide range of op- portunities open to the secretary, according to Miss Renk.

But much of the lionizing of Mr. Stams (cq) in Washington is due to the sensitive nature of his all-powerful position. "The Sec- retary of Commerce," as one keen analyst has put it, "is no job for a mere publicity seeker." * * * By all accounts, Mr. Frams (cq) has handled himself with pride and humility in this tough spot. An outgoing introvert by nature, he stands well over five feet tall and weighs consider- ably more than 100 pounds. His physique is usually described by Washingtonians as either "Lin- colnesque" or "Napoleonesque," depending on their viewpoint. Known affectionately to his friends as "Whatshisface" (cq) and to his loyal staff as "Mr. Secretary," he is fond of such clothes as shirts, ties, suits, socks and shoes. And he has a pench- ant for homespun expressions like "yes," "no" and "maybe." On taking office, the quiet, un- assuming human dynamo re- portedly demanded immediate answers to questions that had been troubling the nation for years, the first being: "What does the Department of Com- merce do?" This has led, of course, to the kind of sweeping changes in the department that are the hall- mark of the Nixon administra- tion — unforgettable changes that have so shattered the calm of blase Washington. To get a list of these sweeping changes, I called up one of Mr. Stang's (cq) aides. He imme- diately cited two sweeping changes: (1) the secretary's suc- cess in keeping the census man- datory as it has been in the past and (2) his trade missions abroad to talk about the U.S. "being in serious trouble on bal- ance of payments"—as it has been for years. After a moment's silence, he added: "Well, the big changes have been administrative—you know, identifying departmental programs for re-invigorating in the future. But we're confident these studies will lead to the best department since Herbert Hoover had it." It's this kind of whirlwind ac- tivity by the new administration that has so exhausted Official Washington. Many here are al- ready comparing Mr. Nixon's first eight months in office to the entire eight years of the Eis- enhower administration. Others, however, say it seems longer. But fame is the spur. In pow- er-mad Washington it is the burning desire of each cabinet officer to etch his name, face and policies on the minds of every voter. And while he may not be win- ning outright, it's safe to say that Commerce Secretary Mar- vin Frang (cq) is holding his own with, to name a few, the Sec- retary of Agriculture, the Secre- tary of Labor and the Postmas- ter General.
