Vol. XXXVI No. 1 Union Enrolls 886 As Dorms Overflow Enrollment at Union College for tho fall semester reached 886 on September 17, according to Miss Marie Anderson, registrar. While this figure is not a new record, it is approximately thirty students more than one year ago at the same time, she added. Students from twenty-nine states have enrolled at Union this se- mester. Nebraska with 180 stu- dents has the most enrollees. Colo- rado is second with 132 students. Seventeen students come from nine foreign countries. Forty-seven nursing students are on the Den- ver campus. Miss Hilda Fern Remley, dean of women, and Mr. Robert Brit- ain, dean of men, report that the dormitories are filled. Rees Hall houses 244 ladies with the over- flow of 76 ladies living in the courts under the supervision of Mrs. Bill Nordgren. assistant dean. South Hall with 264 men has an overflow of eight men living in the rooms over the bookbindery, Dean Britain said. Page Finishes Work For Ph.D. in Biology The latest of the Union College faculty to join the Ph.D. rank has been Mr. Walter Page, associate professor in the biology depart- ment. Although his degree will not be formally conferred until December, the end of the first quarter at Michigan State Uni- versity, the requirements for the degree were all completed at the end of this past summer. The subject of Dr. Page's doc- toral thesis was the esterases of liver and brain tissue of the chicken embryo. One of the main purposes of this research proj- ect was to pinpoint how early the vital enzymes appear in the chick embryo.

Shu-Shu belongs to Mr. ond Mrs. Guenther Holzer. President Announces Recipients Of Scholarships, Grants & Loans. On July 23 Danny Saunders, a junior music major at Union last year, was killed when die tractor he was operating overturned on U.S. 50 in Missouri. A summer employee of the State Highway Department, he was mowing grass when the accident occurred. During his three years at Union, Danny's activities centered around music. He played oboe in both band and orchestra and the Gala Festival ensemble. He was a mem- ber of the Unionaires, the Gold- en Chords Chorale and the men's chorus. Often he led the song service for Sabbath School. Last year, he served on the ASB Pub- licity Committee. A graduate of Sunnydale Acad- emy in Missouri, Danny worked in the College Furniture Manufac- turers during the school term. (Editor's Note-. Danny was an enthusiastic campus leader and we, his friends, will miss his lead- ership and radiant smile.) A number of students attending Union College this year have ar- rived with sizable scholarships, grants, or loans, made available through various funds set aside for educational purposes. "One of these sources of financial aid, the Eppley Foundation of Omaha, provides each year, a pair of $500 scholarships with matching grants for two Union College stu- dents. These are awarded after ap plication, and on the basis of out- standing scholarship and high citi- zenship rating. Decisions concern- ing these scholarships, as well as the various others, are made by Union College's standing Scholar- ship and Loan Committee. Recipi- ents of this year's Eppley Founda tion scholarships were Miss Donna Wood and Mr. Dan Fausset. Every year Union College awards to each valedictorian and saluta- torian graduate from the Northern and Central Union academies, scholarships of $100 and $75 re- spectively. Those benefiting from such scholarships this year arc as fol- lows: Enterprise Academy: Darlene Chrispens and Robert Wilson; Campion Academy: Teresa Burris anrl Evelyn Hildreth; Platte Valley Academy: Larry Thayer and Joan Scott; Sunnydale Academy: Doris Babcock and Thclma Gibb; Union College Academy: Carol Adams and Virginia Dittberner; Maple- wood Academy: JoAnn Kupeho and Judy Kabrick; Oak Park Acad- emy: Linda Wehland and Carol Hein; Plainview Academy: Ber- nard A.

He will meet with the freshman students as a group, but sophomores, juniors, and seniors may make appointments to see him through the office of the college president. Loma Linda University, Loma Linda and Los Angeles, California, now offers degrees in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, nurs- ing, and the sciences. arships. However, the recipients have not been decided upon at present. Other sources of scholarships, grants, and loans include the Ak- SarBen organization, which makes available two $150 scholarships each year, the National Student Defense Loan from the Govern- ment, making $28,191.76 useful to Union College students; the Union College Alumni Association, fur- nishing grants and loans; and the Bank Loan Program, sponsored by the United Student Aid Fund. The latter is handled through the student's home bank, and furnishes $25,000 to UC students. Collecting all the funds from these various organizations, the impressive sum of $56,231.76 is derived. This hints of the special emphasis being placed upon edu- cation today, as well as the defi- nite effort to make the hooks avail- able to those who are worthy schol- ars. MV Rally This Week-end Features Speakers Haas and Nightingale Gym Floor Receives New $1500 Finish The cost of die sanding and refinishing of the Union College gymnasium floor was $1,500, re- ported Mr. Vernon S. Dunn, treasurer and business manager. The contractor of the work was Mr. Roland E. Harte. He is the father of Perry Harte, junior pre-dental student at Union. Mr. Harte also attended Union and now is self-employed in the flooring business. He makes his home in Hastings, Nebraska, with his wife and sons. Mr. Wayne Fleming, instructor of physical education, said that there are fifteen different courts on the floor of the gym. Mr. Dunn related, "In order to make the lines for these courts, over two miles of masking tap* were required." Perry Harte said, "Th loor was sanded five times. The first time was with 'open coat pap^r ' the second was with '2 grit pa- per;' the third was with 'V2 grit paper;' and the last two times were with '0 grit paper." " After this procedure one coat of fin- ish was applied. Tad Achord, junior pre-medical student, then painted the lines. Finally die last two coats of finish were applied. "In Thine Hands to Make Great' will be the theme of the MV rally to be held on the college campus this weekend. "We will use this theme in pre- senting the aspects of our MV pro- Norman Smith Competes In Chemistry Contest General Chemistry's top student last year, Norman Smith, who received a Handbook of Chemis- try and Physics as award for his achievement, will soon represent Union College in a competitive examination with other top stu- dents in die Midwest. Smith, a sophomore, received die yearly achievement award by the Chemical Rubber Publishing Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, for his superior grade-point average. "Besides receiving a Hand book of Chemistry and Physics, Norman was selected to represent Union College by writing an ex- amination sponsored by the Chem- ical Rubber Publishing Co. to se- lect the top chemistry student of die Midwest," said Dr. Rene Evard, chairman of the Chem- istry Department. "And should Norman win," continued Dr. Evard, "the UC Department of Chemistry will receive a $100 set of books.

Buckley's Jewelry & Stationery School Supplies 20% Off Across From Boys' Dorm Country Boy's Profound Impression "Them Things Called Women's Shoes" by Jim Gardiner Now, in speakin' of these-here women's shoes, I's meanin' the spike-style type, ya' know . . . . where them women teeter an' totter 'round while goin' through the motions of walkin'. Yep, we country folk got to thinkin' we'd seen near ever'thing, 'till one day when we took a trip up to the city. When we got there, we thought we'd hit town jest in time for some demonstration of people showin' off how well they could walk on stilts. Yep, all up 'n down the street they went. Now we didn't get too close, 'cause we thought they might be a-charg- in' admission to see such a thing. Wal, I didn't see nothin' like that for a long time afterward, but tlie whole thing shore stuck out in my mind. Then the second time I saw 'em was enough to sour me on 'cm for good. It was when me an' ma' girl was down town one day, and she wanted to go into one o' these-here shoe stores. No, I didn't know at the time that they even had these things in there, or much less that they had 'em for the common folks jest to walk in an' buy, or I'd a-never set foot in there, or let ma' girl go in either. The first thing I knowed, Dr. Caviness Announces Graduate Fellowships Inquiries about Danforth Grad- uate Fellowships for college teaching careers worth up to $12,000 are invited, Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean, an- nounced today. The fellowships, offered by the Danforth Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri, are open to male college seniors or recent graduates pre- paring for a career of teaching, counseling, or administrative work at the college level. Applicants may be planning to major in any field of study common to the undergraduate liberal arts and sciences curriculum, at the American graduate school of their choice, but should not have already undertaken graduate work. Nominations close October 28. Approximately 100 fellowships will be awarded to outstanding candidates nominated by Liaison Officers of accredited colleges and universities in the United States this year. Nominees will be judged on intellectual promise and personality, integrity, genuine interest in religion, and high po- tential for effective collogc teach- ing. Winners will he eligible for up to four years of financial assist- ance, with an annual maximum of $1,500 for single men and $2,000 (as well as $500 per child) for married men, plus tuition and fees. Students without financial needs also are invited to apply. Danforth Fellows and leading scholars are guests of the Foun- dation at annual conference on teaching. There are now 472 Danforth Fellows in graduate study prepar- ing to teach, and 267 more al- ready teaching in some 150 col- leges in this country and in 20 institutions abroad. Danforth Fel- lowships may be held for life, with certain benefits after com- pletion of graduate study such as financial assistance to attend educational conferences. Students may hold a Danforth Fellowship concurrently with other appointments, such as Ford, Fulbright, National Science, Rhodes, Woodrow Wilson. Win- ners will become Danforth Fel- lows without stipend until these other awards lapse. Chat- N- Nibble The Following Individuals Are Entitled to One Free Malt by Bringing This Ad With Them Judy Hunter Del Turner Refresh Yourself at the CHAT by Jim Gardiner there she was, over at the far table, admirin' an' handlin' those contraptions that I thought looked mighty like some new- type of anvil, with a little less flat surface, given up to space for a spike to hang the horse- shoes on while they was a-cool- in.' Yet, she seemed to really take to 'em, an' it was jest all 1 could do to keep from cringin' when she took one of them an- vil affairs, turned it upsidedown, an' stuck her foot in there. I wanted to yell, and shout for all I was worth, but bein' as how I was in town, I jest had to keep all the misrey to myself. Ya' know, despite all my reasonin', talkin', and downright forceful- ncss, that gul jest went right ahead, big as ya' please, an' bought them high-steppin' shoes. It was horrible, I says! Yet, the worst thing about it was the next time I took her on a date. Can ya' believe it—she had the gumption enough to come right out and wear those awful tilings; even with me there on Saturday night! Not only was I embar- rassed to be walkin' with her teetcrin' 'round like she did, but to top it all off, them stilts o' hers even made her taller'n me. I tell ya', the men today needs to get up in arms to this-here affair. No one wants to go around lookin' up to his gal, not no one in the whole state of Arkansas! Now, one place I knowed about they got smart to this whimsical women's fad, and even outlawed the shoes in the whole city. Ya' say ya' don't believe it? Wal, I seen it with ray own eyes. Now, you can jest say what ya' want, but I'll tell ya' that they had traps set out for this spike- type shoe. No, not the ordinary kind of beaver traps, 'cause that would attract all kinds of at- tention, and scare 'em all off. Ya' see, they was real sneaky, and had them traps built right into the sidewalk. It was so nifty—'stead of makin' the side- walk all solid with wood, they left the boards apart, so that a little crack was there—not big enough to notice right well, but jest big enough to ketch them spikes in. Yup, an' they made this-here trap into a long strip, an' put it right near the ocean there, so's lots of 'em would go walkin' out to ketch the nice view. They gave it a real nice name, dignified soundin', like board-walk, so's nobody'd get suspicious. It was shore sneaky. The/d trap 'em, all right. I seen it with my own two eyesl Some of 'em even stumbled, and fell right then and there, but those cracks jest held onto those spikes with all their might. My, I was happy, to see justice bein' done to such a thing that was raidin' the country. Wal, I thinks they's not goin' to last us too awful much longer, for with all the jet planes, and rockets, and other things they got nowadays, them womenll soon find out that they's gonna need mor'n jest elevatin'-type shoes to get up in the air!

Added Savings With S & H Green Stamps CLOCK TOWEf* September 20, 1962 Editorials ... Registration Line Survey Lines are the ominous greetings for Union College stu- dents, but are they a necessary evil? A two-year survey of registration line lengths conducted by one of the administrative offices gives a rather concrete basis for analysis and action. Congratulations to the faculty as line lengths are considerably shorter this year than last, and the pre-enroliment of last spring is probably a primary factor in this move in the right direction. Now the greatest problems as indicated by the survey are the first three stations which must be visited in succes- sion and the last two verification stations. Automation is the most frequent solution offered by the uninformed student, but the cost of automation is prohib- itive for a school whose students are still numbered in the hundreds. Automation would speed only the copying of class schedules and cards now done at the last station. A much simpler solution would seem to be a group of mul- tiple carbon copies on a lighter paper. The problem of lines is simply too many people want- ing the same service at the same time. The long lines at the verification centers could be shortened if die staff at those stations were doubled, especially on Tuesday and Wednes- day when the freshmen have had their schedules approved by counselors. A's far as the problem at the first three stations is con- cerned, it seems to involve the students having to be served by a specialized faculty member. But why must students with no financial problem still see the Business Manager? Why must each student have to receive personal service from the Registrar? Couldn't a student be trained to handle the routine cases? This would leave the regular faculty mem- ber free to handle special cases and the routine business of the office that must be done even if lines are piling up out- side of the office. Another partial solution is the expansion of the experi- ment whereby students who make an'early advance deposit received the receipts by mail and could omit stations one and two. And those who wouldn't participate in this op- tional program would forfeit the right to gripe - at least in the first two lines. Right Direction — Now More Great things many times have small beginnings. The Wright brothers' first flight was neither long nor high; the United States of America 'started with a small colony of cou- rageous humans looking for a different way of life. The first Union College ASB Leadership Council was held on September 7 and 8 with only a small student attend- ance. But it was held. Certainly this is a good beginning fox better student government. The ASB executive officers, com- mittee chairmen and faculty sponsors were invited and ex- pected to attend. Not all came. Perhaps with earlier notifica- tion and a better explanation of what was really to be ac- complished in this two-day session would have brought the others back to the campus for the meeting. Guest lecturers from the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce and the University of Nebraska presented ideas that, if put into use, could make our sudent organizations more efficient and more meaningful. Those who heard doubtless gained something to make them better leaders for this year. Although tho Council was not a total success, let's not give up. Let's try again next year and with some improve- ment in its planning, we may have 100% participation.

SPORTS Intramural Sports Aid Health and Character by Dale Johnson I suppose, as long as Adventist schools operate, there will bo a controversy over whether their schools should or shouldn't have intramural sports programs. Some people think we should quit having intramural programs because of the arguments that de- velop, because the people get their feelings hurt, and for many other reasons. On the other hand, many peo- ple support the intramural pro- gram bccause they feel that the good that is accomplished far out- weighs any harm done. &MHtd
