Vol. XLIII Union College, Lincoln, Nebr., August 9, 1968 No. 1 Dr. Welch tours Southeast Asia by Lynnet DeRemer Dr. L. W. Welch, registrar, re- turned to Lincoln August 4 after visiting his son in Saigon and touring the Far East and South- east Asia. Dr. and Mrs. Welch visited such places as Japan, Ko- rea, Hong Kong, the Philippine Islands, Borneo, Penang, Malay- sia, Singapore, Guam and Viet- nam. Dr. Carlyle D. Welch, son of Dr. and Mrs. Welch and a 1961 graduate of Union College, is a medical doctor at the Saigon Ad- ventist hospital. His wife, the former Laura Wood, graduated from Union in 1962. Dr. Welch graduated from Loma Linda Uni- versity in 1965, and his wife re- ceived her master's degree in Faculty to attend Andrews convention Seventy-one faculty members and administrators will repre- sent Union College at the Quad- rennial Council for Higher Edu- cation at Andrews University Au- gust 20-27. According to information ob- tained from the president's of- fice, every department on cam- pus is sending at least one del- egate and most are sending sev- eral. Some of the delegates will te acting as general chairmen in charge of certain areas of study. Others will present papers to be discussed by panels or by the au- dience. Representatives at the council will include Adventist college teachers and administrators from both denominational and public schools in North America. The General Conference De- partment of Education has or- ganized the council. The council will include general sessions and discussions concerning a great variety of subject matter. The featured highlight for Sabbath, August 24, is a tour of places of denominational interest in Bat- tle Creek conducted by Elder Arthur White. 23 academy students receive scholarships Merit Scholarships of $100 given by Union College have been awarded to 23 academy grad- uates in the Central and North- ern Unions. The academy faculty members chose the students on the basis of scholarship, citizenship and need. Those receiving scholarships were: Dennis Hilliard, Connie Phillips, Raymond Westermeyer, Linda Smith and Shirley Ta- chenko, Campion Academy; Dwain Leonhardt and Carol Tes- terman, College View Academy; Edward Wagner, Jereen Wargo and Alicia Kaiser, Enterprise Academy; Jane Aoyagi and Joyce Cleveland, Mile High Academy; Connie Jo Gerst and Jerry Wess- len, Platte Valley Academy; Claralee Kreutzer and Terry Lynn Ellis, Sunnydale Academy; Denise March, Lesli Wolledge, Mary Johnson and Donna Ras, Maplewood Academy; Don Hil- liard and Gladys Flemmer, Oak Park Academy; Darleen Tachen- ko, Sheyenne River Academy.

They went to Saigon in 1967, and are one of four Adventist American fam- ilies there. Dr. and Mrs. Welch spent five days with their son in Vietnam. They were able to travel around Saigon without being challenged. Dr. Welch stated that it is pos- sible to travel in Vietnam if one "wishes to take the risk." The Saigon Adventist Hospital serves the Vietnamese civilians. The hospital is an old French house which has been converted into a 44-bed hospital. Outpa- tients are the most numerous kind of patient. A 100-bed hos- pital will be built in the near fu- ture. Saigon is a city full of military personnel, according to Dr. Welch. Soldiers can be seen in every block. Sandbagged bunkers with machine guns mounted in them are situated every few blocks. Large tanks are also seen throughout the city. Very little war activity was taking place while the Welches were in Saigon. However, the more than three million res- idents fill the streets with activ- ity. Motorbikes outnumber cars and Dr. Welch observed that "from one to eight people ride on one bike." According to Dr. Welch, the people of Saigon do not seem worried about winning the war against the Viet Cong militarily. They feel that a strong, stable government in which the people have confidence is what is need- ed. Dr. Welch said, "I talked with no one in the Far East who thought the United States army should pull out of Vietnam now. The people cannot understand the things they see and hear of in the United States newspa- pers." From his encounters in the Far East he discovered that "the peo- ple of the Far East hate commu- nists. The South Koreans and South Vietnamese especially hate and fear them." The Welches visited many Ad- ventist missions and in almost all of the places they went they encountered graduates of Union College. While in Singapore the (Continued on page 4) Enrollment for summer school totaled 312 students. This number includes teachers who returned for additional work, 32 seniors who plan to graduate tomorrow night, those taking the workshop on new math in Minnesota and the five who went on the European his- tory tour. Eighteen foreign students from such places as Guam. China, Egypt, Denmark, Nigeria, Malay- sia and Costa Rica also enrolled. The daytime summer school has been operated in two equal sessions from June 11 to July 11 and from July 15 to August 9. The evening session which began June 11 continued until August 32 summer Thirty-two summer seniors will participate in graduation exer- cises this weekend, August 9 and 10. This is the first year that summer graduates will partake in weekend services. Previously, a Thursday evening commence- ment service was held. Consecration services will be tonight at 8:30 p.m. with Elder 9. This summer a total of 159 hours of class work have been of- fered, including several educa- tional workshops, with Union's summer faculty numbering 32, according to figures released by the registrar's office. Acceptances for the 1968-69 school year totaled 1164 as of August 5. This figure shows an increase of 60 over last year's figure. More acceptances and ap- plications are expected to be made before registration begins September 8. The enrollment is expected to be slightly higher than last year's total. MV SPONSORS ACTIVITIES graduates Paul Kemper, pastor of the Pierre, South Dakota, Seventh- day Adventist church, as speak- er. His daughter, Gwen Kemper, is a member of the graduating class. Sabbath morning at 11:00 a.m., Elder W. S. Lee, president of the Central States Conference, will deliver the Baccalaureate address. Commencement exercises will be tomorrow night at 9:15 p.m. Elder H. V. Reed, president of the Colorado Conference, will present the challenge. The sen- ior's motto and aim, "Make Me Thy Fuel, Flame of God; I ask not for long life, but a full one," will be the focus for the mes- sages. Paul Pellandini has been the senior summer class president and Ronald Russell has been vice-president. Beverly Dobson served as secretary-treasurer and Charles Paulien as the class pastor. Dr. Neil W. Rowland was the class sponsor. The 32 seniors held a class pic- nic July 26 at Bluestem Lake 15 miles south of Lincoln. Skiing, boating and swimming were a few of the activities. 312 attend summer sessions Students, faculty attend retreat at Burchard Lake A smiling Dr. Welch returns to U.S. after nearly two months in southeast Asia. The Missionary Volunteer So- ciety, with Karen Downing as summer leader, has sponsored Friday evening programs, Sab- bath afternoon singing bands, probe and a retreat. The retreat was held Sabbath, Time to publish ad Time magazine will publish an advertisement for Union College some time this fall featuring a sketch of Union's proposed ad- ministration building and an ac- companying explanation of Un- ion's programs and purposes. The advertisement will stress the need for a new administration building. The Swanson Sinkey Ellis Inc. Advertising Agency drew up a mechanical layout of the adver- tisement two months ago. This was sent to Time magazine for approval. Two weeks later it was returned with a notice of accept- ance and the final draft was made. No definite date of pub- lication has been given yet, how- ever. This advertisement is hoped to bring in contributions which will be used for a new student cen- ter and administration building with facilities to accommodate the students. August 3, at Burchard Lake near Beatrice, Nebraska. Activities in- cluded Sabbath School and church services, nature walks, a singspiration, a sundown vesper program and an evening camp- fire with stories and group sing- ing. The retreat's objective, accord- ing to Karen Downing, summer leader, was to give students a change of pace from their busy schedule of work and classes and an opportunity for communion with God through nature. Bev Hilliard was in charge of the re- treat. Gerry Finneman has been as- sistant MV leader and Mary Richards has been acting secre- tary. Eldonna Christie and Joy Reeve have been in charge of the singing bands, while Judy Tester- man has been probe leader and Dan Goddard has had charge of the music. The MV's goals this summer have been to provide a spiritual balance for the scholastic activ- ities of the college, to connect the spiritual activities of the past year with the coming year by continuing them through the summer months and to provide whqjfNiriMntfrgfyT^feQfruild- ing activi^^^y^|yollege stu- dent. AUG 131968 LINCOLN. NEBRASKA 2 THE CLOCK TOWER August 9, 1968 Many articles about progress and success have been included in this CLOCK TOWER. Union College seems to be moving forward. We have a much-improved vocational-technical program and a new Industrial Complex with better facilities for the campus in- dustries. Plans are being made for a new administration building to be constructed sometime in the not too distant future. Improved classes as well as workshops and conventions show signs of progress in the academic area. The new chapel hour time certainly seems to be an improvement over the former 7:20 a.m. chapel. In spite of rising tuition costs, enrollment at Union is expected to exceed that of last year. This says something for the college which might be interpreted as a sign of success. Then there are the individual successes to consider, such as the August graduates, the recipients of scholarships and those on the dean's list. All of these aspects of college indicate progress and success. They are the summer events of Union College. However, what will the 1968-69 school year bring? Physical and material improvements and progress have been made during the summer months. Are these enough? We think not. You, the students of Union College of 1968-69, will dictate the amount of progress and success which can be made. You have a responsibility to yourselves and to your school. We want progress and success to remain an integral part of Union College, and not just to be a summer event. It is up to you what happens in September and on through May. Each student knows what he should do for himself and his school. Let this be a year when each individual makes the most of the college, his opportunities, and most important, his life.

Fowler extends welcome to prospective students by President R. W. Fowler A cordial invitation is extend- ed to all who are planning to at- tend Union College during the 1968-69 school year, and an ur- gent invitation to any who are undecided is proffered to make Union your choice for the coming year. A few days ago, while eating breakfast in a cafe in Interna- tional Falls, Minnesota, Mrs. Fowler and I overheard a small boy at a nearby table announce to his parents with apparent satisfaction and some relief, "Well, I've settled my decision." He then proceeded to reveal some purchases that he had made. These words carry a real mes- sage. Sometimes our decisions are not very firm and we may be inclined to waver and perhaps alter our course. We need to make correct de- cisions and settle them with the determination of the Apostle Paul when he said, "This one thing I do." Union College may have a place in your future, and the year 1968-69 may be the best year of your life if you, with help of the Lord, decide that it will be such. If you wish to work for a por- tion of your expenses, the in- dustries of Union College, in their new and enlarged quarters, of- fer increased opportunities. Our Vocational-Technical pro- gram offers opportunities to those who wish to develop a sal- able skill in less than four years. Plans are being made for your progress and development in the area of the spiritual and phys- ical. We will welcome you on Sep- tember 8 and 9. If you have not yet sent in your application, why not say "I settle my decision, to- day." Butler stimulates student thinking by Joyce Bennett Elder Joseph Butler joined Un- ion's faculty for the summer to teach Spirit of Prophecy. This is a "moonlighting" position, Eld- er Butler says; during the day he is the assistant to the dean of student affairs at the University of Nebraska. At the university Elder Butler counsels mainly with the foreign and Negro students. Before tak- ing this position, he worked with the Job Corps for eight months as a counselor. Finishing the studies for his master's degree in educational psychology is a major goal in his life at the present. A four years' leave-of-absence from the Central Union Conference, where he worked with the MV educa- tional department, is helping to make this goal a reality. Elder Butler hopes that fur- thering his education will give him "more to share" and will make his "work with the youth more effective." Ultimately he hopes to be a counselor for mar- riage and family life. His work now he considers "a means to an end, but very meaningful." In his Spirit of Prophecy class he has endeavored to encourage his students not only to do but also to think about their actions. Through discussion and inter- action, he feels this has been at least partially achieved. Wanted: Back Issues of the CLOCK TOWER from 1960 on. Contact CT Staff Rowland discusses academic progress by Dean N. W. Rowland Prospects are excellent for a good enrollment at Union Col- lege this fall. At the end of July, total applications were exactly the same as a year ago but ac- ceptances were forty-four more. An encouraging trend has been established in that more have been accepted to a full scholar- ship status while sixty-two fewer applicants have been accepted on general scholastic probation. Nearly three times as many freshmen with low high school grade-point averages are plan- ning to take advantage of the special freshman probation pro- gram. With the Vocational-Tech- nical division less than a year old, twenty-two have already been accepted into this pro- gram. Art department moves Among the academic depart- ments, art will show the greatest change. As the College Press moves into new quarters in the Industrial Complex, the space vacated will be renovated for the use of the art department. Provi- sion will be made for two offices, a classroom seating 49, two lab- oratory-studios, a kiln room and storage space. New art courses to be offered are Oriental Art and Weaving. Authorized by the Curriculum Committee, but not to be offered until a subsequent year, are such courses as Ceramics and Silver- smithing. In the area of the fine arts, Bachelor of Arts degree candi- dates must, as in the past, satis- fy a four-hour requirement; however, there are now three additional ways in which to do this. Next year in addition to Art Understanding and Survey of Music, Survey of Dramatic Arts and Survey of Music Com- position may be elected to ful- fill two hours of the requirement. Another innnovation allows the other two hours to be satisfied by studio courses in art and/or performance courses in music. Need has been recognized for some time in the area of English for students from non-English- speaking countries. Beginning this fall, all students so classified will be required to take a new two-hour course, English as a Foreign Language, unless ex- empted by examination. This course is designed to furnish overseas students with the basic language tools necessary for a successful college career. A new approach to language study will be introduced by Dr. Robert Jochmans, chairman of the department of modern lan- guages, in introductory and in- termediate French. The method involves the use of filmed lessons. The use of audio-tapes in the language laboratory will con- tinue to be an important part of language study. A reorganization of the nursing curriculum to adapt it to the se- mester rather than the quarter system will be implemented this year. The most important change will be that the basic science courses will be offered for fresh- men in preparation for the transfer of additional nursing courses from the Denver to the Lincoln campus to be taken dur- ing the sophomore year. When the program is fully implement- ed, the only summer work taken by nursing students will be gen- eral education requirements and electives. Attendance Policy Changes Incorrectly reported in the April 29, 1968, Clock Tower was a change in the class attendance policy now in effect. A change in the class attend- ance policy will be in effect in the fall which transfers the re- sponsibility for the evaluation of excuses for class absences from the academic dean to the indi- vidual instructor. The April 26, 1968, Clock Tower was in error in reporting that "A student may 'skip' up to two times the num- ber of class appointments he has per week in a class." The system as formulated has no provision for "skips;" when a student has missed, for any rea- son, class or laboratory periods equal to twice the number of weekly appointments, his name is referred to the dean for appro- priate action based upon the rec- ommendation of the instructor.

For the past three years she has taught elementary school at Hemet, Cal- ifornia, 40 miles southeast of La Sierra College. She will teach at Hemet again this year. "College broadens you," Mrs. Skuttle says, "but experience is the best teacher. You can learn by experience sometimes what you cannot learn any other way." Had she not been so close to graduating, Mrs. Skuttle said she might have become discouraged. Her goal has been achieved and she graduates with a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education with minors in English and history. Education majors use new unit approach at Helen Hyatt European history tour underway as 26 fly to Copenhagen Aug. 1 The European summer tour de- parted August 1 as Dr. George Thomson, chairman of the his- tory department, and twenty-five companions flew from Chicago to Copenhagen. The group spent two days in Copenhagen during which time they could ride to Sweden via hydrofoil boat. After the visit to Scandinavia, the tour planned to proceed to Germany. Cologne, Bonn, a boat ride on the Rhine, Worms and Heidel- berg were to be included in the following days. Switzerland was to be visited next. The majority of the group planned to depart then for Paris, while several of the members visited Rome. The group will reunite before touring Brussels and Holland. London will be departure point for a jet flight returning the tour to New York on August 22. The tour group includes a va- riety of young and old. It is com- posed about equally of students and teachers, as well as a few other members of the commu- nity. Dr. and Mrs. Thomson and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Betts board plane to Chi- cago where they met the other mem- bers of the summer European history tour. Seventeen majors in elemen- tary education did their student teaching this summer at Helen Hyatt Elementary School. Miss Maude Reid, instructor in el- ementary education, was their supervisor. They elected to teach during either session or both sessions and could earn a possible seven hours of college credit. Approximately forty children attended the summer school classes which met from 9:00 until 12:00 a.m. five days a week. The summer school children were divided into two groups. One group studied reading, mathematics, spelling and lan- Sleep in next year The 7:20 a.m. chapel hour has been changed for the coming school year. Chapels and convo- cations will be held this year at 11:10 a.m. on Mondays and Fri- days. The academic dean gave two reasons for this change. The change will enhance the possibil- ity of having more visiting speakers as well as increase the convenience of students, facul- ty and staff. Morning classes will begin at ten minutes after the hour and will end on the hour to coincide with afternoon classes. guage in a traditional manner while the other group approach- ed the topics in units. The teach- er incorporated the reading and writing skills into the study of the topic by having the students write stories, draw pictures, give reports or read books on the sub- ject. Films, projects and field trips were also used in the presenta- tions. The children launched their own rocket from the school grounds as they studied the unit on space and space travel. Both groups swam every day and had health and activity periods sev- eral times during the week.

Chung, a Un- ion College student, showed them some of the sights of Singapore, which Dr. Welch considered a "fine city." In commt ting on his visit to the Philippines he stated that the government faces a great challenge in the rampant steal- ing and crime. The Adventist people are doing "a great work," according to him. They are build- ing a new addition to their hos- pital which "will rival anything in the United Statrs." Church membership has increased to ap- proximately 100,000. Many mis- sionaries are sent out to the sur- rounding countries such as Viet- nam. In a prison camp near Saigon, 48 Viet Cong prisoners have been baptized. These men were polit- ical prisoners, Dr. Welch explain- ed, and when they become Chris- tians they are greatly changed. Since their baptism the South Vietnamese officials have re- leased about half of them. "How- ever," he went on to say, "this may cause problems in that of- ficials may think Seventh-day Adventists are supporters of the Viet Cong." Dr. Welch considered Penang, Malaysia, "one of the prettiest, most beautiful cities" he has ever seen. "It is an Oriental city with very few westerners residing there. The people live in nice homes, and it is a clean city," he said. The activities of the Welches ranged from visiting a long house in Borneo to attending a funeral of a high class lady in Guam. One of the things which they noticed most in their travels was the contrast between the ex- tremely rich and the extremely poor. Dr. Welch was impressed most by the fact that missionaries to- day go to modern mission fields. He said, "Their homes are much like those they occupied in the United States. They have refrig- erators, electric lights, and they carry on their work in a modern fashion. Very seldom does one find American workers doing lo- cal pastoral work." "Professional and experienced workers are needed," stated Dr. Welch. In Japan, Borneo and the Palau Islands the Welches visited student missionaries. These young people are greatly appre- ciated, especially in Japan, he said. He was also impressed by the fact that almost everyone, young and old, in the Far East is study- ing the English language. Those who speak English have an ad- vantage in their business deal- ings. In Japan, children are re- quired to study English for six years. Dr. Welch learned many things in his travels, the most impor- tant of which he stated was "the value of pure water." Faculty families increase in size Additions have been made to several Union College faculty families. A son, Kevin Miles, was born to Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Wol- ford on Aug. 1, 1968. Dr. Wolford is the associate professor of ed- ucation. Elder and Mrs. Peter Luna re- cently adopted a son, Jonathan Peter. Elder Luna is an instruc- tor in the religion department. Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Lamber- ton, who are now living in Lan- caster, Massachusetts, had a son July 1. They named him Rodney Eugene. Mr. Lamberton was a member of the English depart- ment last year.

Of these students, 33.7% had a class load of 17 or more hours. The average load was 15.7 hours. To be eligible for the Dean's List a student must have at- tained a minimum grade-point average of 3.50 ("A"=4 grade points) on twelve or more semes- ter hours of class load. He must also have an acceptable citizen- ship record. Eighteen of the honorees had an "A" average for this semes- ter. These 18 were: Dixie Becht- hold, Loella Clark, Stan Diede, Daryl Giblin, Dave Harrom, Barb Heinrich, Bev Hilliard, Diane Humpal, Barbara Jacobs, Lynda Kostenko, Muriel Lingle, Melodie Thomas, Karen Wade, Curtis Wiltse, Larry Zuchowski, Bev Christensen, Carolyn House, and Linda Huff. Of these students, 53% had loads of 17 or more hours, 72.2% were women, and 40% were science majors.

In ad- dition to the new facilities, the broomshop had already expand- ed five years ago into a previous- ly finished section of this same complex. Furniture factory expands The furniture factory expan- sion has been completed and is now in use. This new addition has increased floor space from 40,000 square feet to 78,000 square feet, almost doubling the size of the factory. The primary pur- pose for the expansion was to eliminate production bottlenecks caused by cramped quarters. Mr. R. J. Robinson, business manager, says that this additional space and resulting better arrangement of machinery will double produc- tion facilities, increase handling efficiency, and help prevent damage to the products caused by stacking. For the first time the factory will have room to do its own for- mica work. Also, much needed storage space is now available. Among the greatest improve- ments for the factory is the lighting in the new addition. This lighting will help worker morale and decrease the number of de- fects in the finished product. Also, a great improvement is the new ventilation and dust removal system. New equipment installed The laundry moved into the new complex during the week July 29-Aug. 2. Its working area is increased from 4,600 square feet to 9,700 square feet, an in- crease of nearly 105%. The laun- dry has several pieces of new equipment including a new ex- tractor, new rolling carts, a new mangle, new dry cleaning equip- ment and new presses which have increased the number of suits pressed per hour from 10 to 50. Student laundry is now being done just as commercial laundry. Two-day service is available with the students delivering and pick- ing up their own laundry. Commercial work comprises 65% of the laundry's business. A 25% increase in business oc- curred last year, and with the new expanded quarters and fa- cilities, Mr. George Lewis, laun- dry supervisor, expects another increase in business of 25% next year. The old laundry building will become the campus book- store. Increased business expected The press will be moved into its new area about the middle of August. It will have more room for a better arrangement of equipment and better stockroom facilities. The press will have about three times the area now in use, which will greatly in- crease production potential. The old press building will house the Union College art department. The bookbindery will move into the new complex sometime in September. Its staff also an- ticipate a more efficient arrange- ment of equipment in the larger area. Their space will be more than doubled, and plans to pur- chase new equipment are being made. Mr. Robinson, Union College business manager, states that sales from all industries during the past year totaled $1,800,000. With the new Industrial Com- plex expansion and added equip- ment, the $2,000,000 mark is ex- pected to be reached within two years. Confusion and disorder reign during the college laundry's move to its new location in the Industrial Complex. Spaulding attends convention on optics Kenneth Spaulding, chairman of the physics department, at- tended a conference on optics at the University of Rochester in New York from July 8 to 19. He was one of 20 college and univer- sity professors invited. The conference topics included general principles of optics such as interference, detraction phe- nomena and laser work. The workings of a periscope on a submarine were also demonstrat- ed. The majority of the 160 per- sonnel attending the conference were representatives of various industries including Kodak and Xerox. The 20 educational attendants were professors of industrial-en- gineering and physics. Mr. Spaulding was the only represen- tative of a Seventh-day Advent- ist college or university to be in- vited. Mr. Spaulding feels that the knowledge and understanding he gained from attending the con- ference will help him in teaching the Advanced Optics course.
