news in brief Fence felled by bulldozer... (UPI) After setting their remaining seven hostages free, inmates of the Iowa penitentiary, Ft. Madison, Iowa, refused to go back to their cells. They reportedly wreaked havoc on prison property. "When I left, they were using a bulldozer and plowing down a fence," said Fort Madison patrolman R.M. Bever Jr. One inmate was found dead, stabbed in the throat. Shoeshine boy sneaks to freedom. (AP) Orphaned by a bomb blast in strife-torn El Salvador, an .11-year-old shoeshine boy sneaked aboard a plane scheduled for Los Angeles. "I waited until a fat man went through customs and I walked behind him, very slow," he said. "Then, when we got into the tunnel where you go on the plane, I asked a man with two suitcases if I could carry one for him. I think the stewardess thought I was a passenger's son." Deported after reaching Miami in Ju- ly, he waited only a few days to try again to Los Angeles. Foster parents have now begun adoption proceedings. What rises faster than infla- tion? (AP) Government figures show that medical care in the United States has been rising at a faster rate than inflation so far this year. Analysts blame the gains mostly on higher labor costs, a shortage of working nurses, an increasing pro- portion of elderly patients and widespread insurance coverage. Pet wolf killed near Lin- coln. . . (AP) Deputy sheriffs kill- ed a pet wolf near Waverly, Nebr., after a three-hour chase. The owner and a friend reportedly stopped at the Nickerson Farm Restaurant off Interstate 80 enroute from Denver to Maine. The wolf jumped out of the rear window while the two were away from the car, and ran into a milo field. A dart gun was used to try to tranquilize the animal, but the 70-pound wolf did not react to the drug. The owner was arrested after the kill- ing. Manson follower weds Tex- an. . .

Shekels stay in coffers Cash goes crunch "Due to student abuse of the privilege, cash withdrawals will not be as easily available this year as in the past," said Seppo Var- tija, Vice-President of Finan- cial Affairs. "Some students were making excessive withdrawals while not mak- ing adequate payments on their school bill." The only situations, accor- ding to Vartija, in which a student withdrawal will be allowed are: 1) If the withdrawals are built into the UNITE contract, or 2) If there is a credit on the stu- We're really doing a bang up job for you, Lord page 3 dent's statement, and then only if the credit is in excess of student earnings listed on the UNITE contract or addi- tional financial aid that comes in from an outside source. When these conditions have been met, the student is permitted one cash withdrawal per month. This is due to some students mak- ing withdrawals daily for very small amounts, said Vartija. He added, "Once a month withdrawals will make the student budget their money more efficient- ly, which is what college is all about. The withdrawal can be made for any amount up to that which is credited on the bill." To make a cash withdrawal, however, Mrs. Naomi Kennedy in the ac- counting office must okay the withdrawal. The withdrawal is then obtained at the cashiers window, also on the fifth floor. Checks for no more than $100.00 can also be cashed by students or faculty at the Cashiers window. These can be cashed as frequently as desired, but if a bad check is received, clearance will be required before anymore checks can be cashed. the clocktower VOL. LVIII NO. 1 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA SEPTEMBER 4,1981 Birthday bash and brush Union celebrates 90 years By Ruth Sales To celebrate its 90th birthday during the week of September 20-27, Union Col- lege will temporarily revert back to the 1890's. Antique cars, customs, and living set- tings will reappear briefly to take the college back to its beginning in 1891. A picnic lunch Sunday, September 20, launches the birthday week. The faculty/ board banquet follows on Monday evening, and Leta Powell Drake, host of the - Morning - Show on Channel 10, will be the Master of Ceremonies. According to Ruthita Fike, assistant to the president, the banquet will include a "Traveling Medicine Show," a march in the gym, and a short skit by Mrs. Everett Dick entitled the "Calling Hour." Associated Student Body of- ficers will also be invited to the banquet for the first time, said Mrs. Fike. Tuesday morning Ellsworth Reile, Mid- America Union president and Union College board chairman, will speak for chapel, and Jim Gallagher, director of College Rela- tions, will appear on the Morning Show at. 7. He will present historic photos of the college, promoting the birthday week. Dr. Ward Hill diaplays hi* new at- quieition. Project BRUSH Celebrating takes a dif- ferent form on Thursday, September 24, the actual birthday of Union. Fifteen houses in the Lincoln area will be repainted by volunteer Union College students. The project is en- titled BRUSH; Beautifying Residences Using Student Helpers. According to Mrs. Fike, selecting the homes for the project "was no small task." Mrs. Fike stated that to be eligible the homes must be over 30 years old, inhabited, and owned by the in- habitants. Age, handicap, and income were all con- siderations, as well. The project has created "a lot of enthusiasm with the older people," said Mrs. Fike. She also said the pro- ject will take "at least 600 students." Project BRUSH is not solely a humanitarian pro- ject, though. Union also hopes to raise about $97,000 to reach the goal of $180,000 needed for a skating rink to be placed on the surface of the tennis courts. The students who have a per- sonal goal of $250 each, may acquire sponsors from relatives or businesses for the project. The week-long celebration will end Sunday, September 27, with exhibits and a for- mal program. The second an- nual Renaissance Fair will also be held on Sunday. The fair was moved from Oc- tober to September to be in- cluded in the birthday celebration. Ten antique cars will be located in front of Prescott, Gallagher men- tioned, and among the anti- que cars will be a Model A Ford, Packard, and a 1911 American La France —a model of the first motorized fire truck. Also, one of the original College View trollies, "the last line to be discontinued (1946)," will ap- pear in front of the school. The scene for a turn-of- the-century dorm room, along with other antique memorabilia, will be the Stu- dent Health office, and on \ the college lawn, arts, crafts, and food will be for sale. The formal program will be at 2:00, featuring Mayor Helen Boosalis, Art pro- fessor James McClelland, and a cake in the shape of the old clocktower. Mc- Clelland's 16 hummingbird paintings, accepted by the Smithsonian fo publication, will be unveiled. Also, according to Mrs. Fike, Union hopes to break ground for Phase II of the health complex at this time. Contests and Customs Two contests will be held during the birthday week: the faculty beard-growing contest, and the school song second verse contest. Also, during the birthday week, said Mrs. Fike, the cafeteria will for one day revert to the time when there were eight at a table: a host and hostess and six students. Each student had a napkin, which he used for the entire week. Karl-Heini Schroeder showing hi* "work" of many years. Page 2 CLOCKTOWER September 4,1981 editorial New looks, outlopks When presidents change, the country changes with them. Closer to home, the face of Union changed with the transfer of presidential responsibilities from Dr. Manley to Dr. Hub- bard. Just so, the face of a newspaper changes with each new editor. Changes —not necessarily better, just different. The switch to printing the paper on newsprint is of course the most drastic change, along with the changing of our name plate on page one. - We've also added some extra features, in hopes of getting a mixture of thoughts, ideas and opinions to the reader. "Souvenirs," page two, will feature contemplative pieces designed to move one to think. "Faculty ideas," page four, will feature a faculty guest columnist, writing on an un- specified topic. Feature material like, "We're all doing a bang up job for you, Lord," from the Chicago Sun-Times, will also appear when relevant to the reader. A crossword ' puzzle, page four, will also be printed for those looking for something to do besides study. Inspite of the changes, though, much remains the same. Ruth Sale's by-line, seen so much in last year's clocktower, will appear this year as associate editor. Ivan Bandiola's pictures will still find their way into print, and Steve Stoke's "wall to wall" will still boggle the reader, not to mention his mind. The Fike's will still watch over all of us, and, if the headlines sound strangely "cowinian," it's because John will be writing them, along with a guest editorial or two. A paradox facing this clocktower staff, as it has other staffs, is the question of our function as a school newspaper: our philosophy of existence. We are charged, as the name "newspaper" implies, to report the news. We are charged to watch over the administration and student government in an unbiased way. Yet, the very people we are to watch over, are they who can put us out of existence: they who pay our salaries. Yet, we aren't hoping to bust open a "watergate," or ques- tion the character of others. But we are also not hoping to be used as a public relations tool. For we are, and can be, much more. Stories will be judged on their value as news items. Therefore, the 90-year celebration and project BRUSH, for example, received this week's lead story— for they are news on the Union College campus. Other stories will be judged the same. The clocktower staff will seek to bring pride to Union, not by merely bringing it p.r., but by bringing it much more. A professional, thorough, fun newspaper, that does its job. the clocktower Editor-in-Chief Doug Stuva Associate Editor Ruth Sales Campus Pulse Editor Steve Smith Cartoonist Steve Stokes Photographers Kevin Stelling Ivan Bandiola Sportswriters Brian Flynn Milton McNichol Sponsors Duane and Ruthita Fike Opinions expressed in this publication are those of the-writera and are, not to be conatrued as the opinion of the Asaociated Student Body or of .Union College.

Campus Pulse As an SDA, how do world events affect your life? to again be sure of my salva- tion. World events don't scare me, they just warn me that the end is really com- ing. Alison Blythe Dr. George Selivanoff As a human being I am a part of all that goes, on around me. I may not feel hungry when half of the world starves, nor feel pain when millions suffer from war, disease and various deprivations and disasters. But, aware of it or not, my life is poorer and richer because of the experiences of my fell'ow human beings. As a Seventh-day Adven- tist I am painfully aware of the great controversy in which we all are enmeshed and I assume responsibility for doing my very best to im- prove the world now and to point the way to a better world that God has planned for all his children. Dr. George Selivanoff As a Seventh-day Adven- tist I am quite sheltered from world events. Unless I make an effort to keep in- formed I keep plenty busy with school work, classes, and socializing to have much of a chance to give world events any thought. When an event is so big that I can hardly escape noticing it, or if it directly affects me, or if I start reading the newspaper, I wake up again to the realization of the nearness of Christ's return. This realization compels me Alison Blythe World events fill me with hope. Matthew 24:42 says to watch, for the hour of the Lord' s return is unknown. Although the hour of His return is a mystery, the Lord has given signs so that they may know the end is near. World events let me know that the Lord is com- ing soon to take me home. That promise fills me with hope and keeps me going. Susan Bascom Susan Bascom Letters to the editor are welcome and en- couraged.

Souvenirs, although often possessing little monetary value in themselves, con- tinue to mean much to their owners year after year. To remember back to the day when one bought or received it; to ponder the stage in life one had reached at the time; to think about the good and bad times one went through; this is to experience a souvenir. To move one to remember, to ponder, to think: this is the purpose of "souvpnirs." The artists featured will be of various backgrounds, careers and attitudes. We will seek to dig into what they've said, hoping to keep a little portion of it for ourselves. To begin the year, a piece titled, of course, "souvenirs:" Here is a poem That my lady sent down Some morning while I was away. Wrote on the back of A leaf that she. found Somewhere around Monterey. And here is the key To a house far away Where I used to live As a child. They tore down the building When I moved away And left the key unreconciled; And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries. And down the canyon The smoke starts to rise It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries. And here is a sunrise To set on your sill The ghosts of the dawn Moving near. They pass through your sorrow And leave you quite still. Sitting among souvenirs. California 1971 Dan Fogelberg September 4,1981 CLOCKTOWER Page 3 We're really doing a bang up job for you, Lord By Mike Royko To: God Address: Somewhere in the Universe. Dear God: I know how busy you must be with a whole universe to worry about. That's why it occur- red to me that you don't have time to read our papers and your TV recep- tion might not be good. So I thought I'd drop you a note' about how things are going here. Well, things couldn't be going any better, at least as far as your image is concern- ed. You wouldn't believe how well-loved you are on this planet today and how much is being done in your name. I hardly know where to start, there's so much going on. So I might as well start in Northern Ireland, where you've always been very big. Ah, what religious fervor can be found there. The Irish Protestants are so devoted to you that they do everything possible to make life miserable for the Irish Catholics, because they don't think the Irish Catholics have the right ap- proach toward worshipping you. And the Irish Catholics do what they can to make life miserable for the Irish Pro- testants for essentially the same reasons. In their great love for you, they shoot at one another, bomb one another, set one another afire, kill little children, bystanders, cops, soldiers and old ladies, and some are now committing suicide by starvation. Then each side buries its dead, goes to church and gives fervent thanks to you for being on its side. It is very touching. And one thing about these people: Their devotion to you is unshakable. They've been doing this for about 400 years. So it's a good thing that you have an entire universe at your disposal, because I don't know where else you could find room to accommodate the souls of all the people who have died there in your name. You're also highly regard- ed in a country called Lebanon, where just about everyone believes in you, although they don't agree on what you should be called. Ih that country, there are Moslems and Christians and they've created different sets of rules for worshipping you. Naturally, they say you have sent the rules down to them. I don't know if that's true or not, but if I may make a suggestion: If it's true that you gave them the word, it would really simplify things if there were only one set' of rules. It would cause less hard feel- ings. But such details aside, they are expressing their devotion to you by killing each other by the hundreds. I guess they figure that if one side can wipe the other side out, it will prove that their way of worshipping you is correct, and you'll be pleased with them. So every day, they lob shells at one another and blow up the usual men, women, children, bystand- ers, old ladies and stray dogs. And every day, they take a few moments out to thank you for your support and to-promise that they'll continue their efforts in your behalf. Now, not far from there are countries called Iraq and Iran. Th? Moslems in those countries basically agree on what to call you, but they disagree on some details concerning how best to wor- ship you. So they're killing one another, too. It's more than a little con- fusing, though, because in Iran there are people who (all themselves Baha'i, and, they, too have their own way of showing their respect for you. Unfortunately for the Evangelist, bachelor Booker T. Rice to speak Baha'i, their way doesn't in- clude killing others who don't share their point of view. So that makes them patsies, and the Moslems in Iran, in their love for you, have been kicking the Baha'i around pretty good. Just a short missile ride away, there's a lot of religious action going on bet- ween a country called Israel and just about everyone else in that neighborhood. The people in Israel also have their own set of rules for worshipping you, which they say you passed on to them. And they claim that you look more favorable upon them than anyone else. This has always caused a lot of hard feelings because a lot of other groups figure that THEY'RE your favorites. (It must be hard being a father figure.) Israel's claim that it is No. 1 has also made some people wonder this: If the Jews, after all they've been through over the centuries, are really your chosen peo- ple, what do you do to somebody you DON'T like? Anyway, the Jews and their Moslem neighbors- both of whom claim your complete support-have been going at it for about 30 years. But I don't think they'll ever equal Ireland's record because they'll all eventually have nuclear bombs. Oh, and I can't forget to mention this final item. Somebody just shot the pope. As you know, he's the leader of one of your largest group of followers here. A very peaceful, non-violent man, by the way, although his followers have been known to shed a few million gallons of blood when their tempers are up. Well, I know you're busy, so that's all for now. Mike Royko P.S. I never believed any of those stories going around a few years ago that "God is dead." How could you be? We don't have one weapon that can shoot that far. "Variety, relevance, a high level of interest, and Christ centeredness," said Rick Lofgren, Union for Christ director, describing goals in planning this year's Friday evening vesper series. Vespers tonight at 7:30 will feature Booker T. Rice, a black inner city evangelist from St. Louis. In addition to pastoring the St. Louis Northside Church, he specializes in. pioneer evangelism in the inner city. A graduate of Oakwood Col- lege and the University of Il- linois, Rice is part of a grow- ing number of single pastors in the Seventh-day Adven- tist Church. Of the 13 vesper pro- grams listed for first semester at least six com- pletely unique programs can be identified: George Bever- ly Shea, the world's best known gospel singer; the movie "Jorii"; Dr. Richard Neall, one of the denomina- tion's top theologians; The Messiah —featuring Hale and Wilder, the Nebraska Chamber Orchestra and the Unionaires; and two candlelight suppers. Chaplain McGill further expanded on the backdrop against which the series was planned: "By the time we reach Friday night most of us prefer a program not quite so formal. I think Rick has done a tremendous job in planning this year's series."

In fact, several couples have been seen en- joying their idle moments in deep conversation. Casual encounters receive little notice today, but such was not always the case on this campus. Union College marks its ninetieth birthday this month, and a brief glimpse at its past reveals a different attitude toward male-female relationships. The college bulletin for 1891 cautioned: "Gentlemen must not escort ladies on the street or to or from public gatherings." Even going down town was strictly con- trolled. The ladies could take the streetcar on Mon- day and Wednesdays and the men on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not many students went home for winter vacation periods in the 1890's, but when they did, the ladies could board the train on one day and the men on another day, thus preventing train romances. According to Dr. Everett Dick, Union's esteemed historian', the faculty once had to take a rather hard- line position on the forma- tion of romantic friendships. On May 1, 1892, the faculty passed a resolution that refused readmission to a young couple because their marriage took place only a few days after the end of school. Since they had not known each other before coming to Union, it appeared to the faculty that their courtship must have been carried on while they were students. However, it was reported that the college men and women could ice skate together on Salt Creek —as long as they each held on to one end of a long stick. Therefore, the next time you are sitting next to a date on Saturday night, you might recall that the "good ole' days" weren't all that good in some ways.

Both K's Want Kid Estranged parents, en- tangled in a legal and emo- tional tug-of-war over custody of their 7-year old son, set the funny but wren- ching theme of the feature film "KRAMER VS. KRAMER," Saturday night, Sept. 5 at 8:30 p.m. in the Union College gym. This film, a five academy award winner, has been viewed in theaters across the country. Featured are well-known Dustin Hoffman as Ted Kramer, (husband and father), and Meryl Streep as wife and mother Joanna. Ted, although red-hot as a Madison Avenue accountant executive, is not so hot as a husband. He seems to lack sensitivity to his wife's need for self-fulfillment. Finally, unable to endure any longer, she literally "throws out the baby with the bath water", leaving husband and son to their own devises. Eventual- ly, second thoughts take over, and she returns to claim her adorable 7-year old only to be confronted by an understandably stubborn husband, unwilling to relen- quish his claims; hence the battle. The film to be shown is one specially prepared for Adventist audiences and ap- proved by the Pacific Union conference. Questionable language and one unaccep- table sequence have been eliminated.
