Although it was nearly 2:00 in the morning of April 8 when die Union College delegation arrived, they were warmly welcomed and helped to get settled down for a short night of rest. At 7:30 on Thursday morning a general as- sembly for all the delegates from Atlantic Union College, Columbia Union College, Andrews Univcrsitv, Southern Missionary College, Southwestern Union College, Oak- wood College and Union College was held. The rest of the morning and Thursday evening were spent 'n committee meetings where specific In This Issue Softball Leagues .... p. 2 Friendship Circles ... p. 3 Visitor's Consensus . . p. 4 Alumni Weekend Plans p. 4 Sound of Music' Is Theme For Fifth Gala Festival The fifth annual Gala Festival, under the general direction of Mclvin Hill, was held April 10 and 11. "The Sound of Music" was the theme for this program ol music, which was dedicated to those who love music bv those who make music. The purpose of this program, as outlined in the p;o- gram, is "serious ... to help the v:r t world of music to flourish, to extend its boundaries, to share its emotions, to enlarge its audience, and whenever it can, to guide au- diences to greater pleasures." Gala Festival for 1965 opened with the theme, "The Sound ol Music," by Rodgers-Hammerstein, followed by a TnmiPet fanfare and "Strike up die Band." The Unionaires were featured in several numbers, among tlieni "In the Still of the Night," "Holidav Song," "Madame jeanette," "Wyo- ming," and "Granada." The or- chestra was featured in "Studio One," "Dark Eyc.s," "Themes from Caucasia,n Sketches," and "Sum- mer Skies." "Pan, the Piper" was presented for the children. One luckv youngster was chosen to sit on the stage during the perform- ance. Soloists for the evening were Gcorgelta Moles, who played the solo part of "Piano Concerto in G Minor" by Mendelssohn, Linda Seltniann, who played the marimba solo of "Minute Waltz," and Jo- anne (Classen, flute solist for "Pan, the Piper." The festival ensemble ended the program with "The Halls of Ivy," and "God Bless America." subjects were discussed and ideas exchanged between schools. The highlight of Thursday's ac- tivities was a trip to NASA, die National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A complete tour had been arranged for the group and even though a great deal of detailed scientific information was given on die tour, it was basically informative and interesting for the average person. Committee meetings and gen- eral assembly meetings were held all day Friday and die culmination of the activities was the reading of the recommendations from each of the committees. The recom- mendations were discussed and voted on by the general assembh and will be put into the reports sent to all of the colleges partic- ipating. Several of the delegations spent Sabbath at Southern Missionary College which is about 120 miles from Oakwood College. T r u e southern hospitality was again shown die visitors and many new friends were made. Saturday night the Oakwood Col- lege group entertained at a ban- quet at a load motel in Hunts- ville. Much was gained by the del- egates to this convention. The benefits from comparing Union College's social s\ stem, cafeteria, school policies, friendliness, and many other aspects of college life were innumerable. But more than this, the delegates from Union Col- lege were more convinced than ever lx>forc that Union College is THE place to be. Pictured above is Dr. Hill's personal bubble machine.

Winter s^paine DOWNTOWN AND GATEWAY Roundballers Titled Champs; Spring Softball Opens by Bob Bischoff A—League Champs (I. to r.), Rick Wickstrom, Rodney Fulbright, Bob Bischoff, Joe Lang, Paul Gnadt, Bob Smith, and Ron Scott. Bob Smith's Roundballers have earned the right to wear UC's bas- ketball crown. To earn diat right they had to beat a tcrugh and de- termined Rosaasen team. In two previous league meetings Smith had won by a total of 7 points, being the only team to defeat Rosaasen all year. The championship game was just as close, and at the half Smith led by only 5 points. Rosaascn's chances looked better for the sec- ond half as Bob Bischoff left the game with a broken foot a few seconds before the half ended. However, Smidi proved they were not a one-man team. After Rosa- asen took the second half tip-off and die lead within two minutes, Smith, behind die rebounding and shooting of Jim Stephens and Rick Wickstrom, setded down to busi- ness. Neither team could build a lead of more dian 3 points until with 2 minutes left Smidi grabbed a 5 point lead. From dien on it was just a matter of holding on to diat lead. II. P. Sterling led all rebounders by grabbing 17 stray shots. Ste- phens led Smith with 16. In team rebounds, Smidi led 47-40. Ste- phens also took game scoring honors widi 29 points. For Smith, Gnadt had 19, and Wickstrom and Captain Bob added 14 apiece. For Rosaasen, Captain Ed and Ron Nelson each had 17 and Rob Rosaasen 16. Smith hit on 34 of 73 holders for 46". Rosaasen took 105 shots but connected on only 33 for 312. Final score was 81-76. SOFTBALL STARTS The lawn in front of Soudi Hall has been thickly populated lately as everyone (it seems) tries to loosen his softball muscles. Due to die slowly melting snow, sott- ball season will be a bit late in opening, but teams have been chosen and the players are rarin' to go. Both A and B leagues have been chosen. In A league the strong teams appear to be Stephens and Fleming. However, until practice games are played no predictions will be ventured.

Characteristic Crowds Form Four Concentric Circles by Kit Watts This is one scene of a typical discussion group conducted on this campus. Many hope that this practice will continue. Sabbath School Grasps Rejuvenated Concepts What does Sabbadi School mean to you? Is it merely boredom—an accepted activity to attend in or- der to avoid questioning frowns from the fiaculty. Perhaps it's a chance to show off the latest fash- ions? Or does it involve a little study through the week so discus- sion in a group can be more in- teresting, a new and deeper look into our mission lands, real indi- vidual involvement? The officers for second semes- ter of this year met early in '65 with the outgoing officers of first semester who pointed out weak spots and encouraged new ideas, using wise counsel. Here are a few of the results of experience com- bined with new concepts. Surprisingly enough, each group going to a circle with a leader for tho lesson study has cut down on previous noise. The new emphasis urged for the mission presentation has helped to almost double of- ferings. One never knows quite what to expect next—possibly a na- tivel Attractive Sabbadi School bulletins catch the eye of visitors and members alike, helping point out die idea of a basic theme for each Sabbath. Along with all of tiiese some special programs have been presented, including a non- Adventist Christian's philosophy of possessions. Even with all the good things said about the "church at study" this semester's new officers will again be making way for next year's who will improve and add to die program of keeping the stu- dent body involved. Humans are an uncanny lot. Basically they're all alike, of course, widi heads on bodies, hun- gry stomachs at meal time. Most of them have hair and wear clothes too. In addition, psychologists will tell vou that people have things in common like needs for affec- tion, food, and shelter. But the Homo sapiens are a peculiar bunch when it conies to having friends. These basically-all-a l i k e-people cluster together here, or there they string out one-by-one, or more com- monly, two-by-two! For reasons all their own diey court the presence of some while casually passing bv the company of others. In a community like the college campus four concentric circles of friends structure around each per- son. The most remote is simply "t h e crowd." Characteristics of "the crowd" are general but you can usually identify them as the surplus students who make die en- rollment touch record heights, make up the long lines at registra- tion, and stand ahead of you at dinner time when you have a class at 1:10. They're die ones who overflow onto Turner Turnpike after Friday chapel. The bank of glass-windowed mail-boxes belong to them, and so does all the mail! "The crowd" to you is the mass at the fringes; people who revolve in an unknown world, the un- known friends. Number Three Circle has fewer orbiters dian Number Four. You might label them "the peripheral friends," since you can at least de- fine who they are. More than like- ly they slipped in from "the crowd" quite by aocident, though. Perhaps it was through your Num- ber Two Circle that an official in- troduction absorbed them into the periphery of passing nods and mumbled names. Other entrances into Number Three Circle come via pure co-incidence like hav- ing names that start with the same letter in alphabetically arranged classes. Repetition is another medi- od. Just seeing the same people all the time chips away some of the indifference of "the crowd." These include the girls who serve meals, readers, secretaries to your pro- fessor, desk clerks in die lobby or at the library, the kids you sit next to in chapel, and under or u p p e r classman—whichever you are not. In a one-way sense, lead- ers belong to this class too. The names are familiar and by dieir appearance in public frequently you gain an indirect acquaintance widi them. They certainly can't be entirely classed with "the crowd" since you at least know who they are and something about them. At any rate, Circle Three is an un- stable compound of friends. By re- arrangement of the class seating chart, or a change in your daily schedule the "periphery" may merge unnoticed back into die big "crowd." And whether or not they rocket into orbit number two de- pends on the boosters. Circle Two is the group you spin in. They're the ones you go to supper with, or pick up Sabbadi morning breakfast for, or choose to sit with in worship. Your mon- itor probably fits in this category, and at least some of the kids on your wing. You may work with them from 15-25 hours a week waxing hallways and share the privilege of holding the keys to the President's office. On Saturday nights you save seats on die sec- ond row from the front for them, and afterwards you eat pizza. You compare notes on professors and boyfriends, play pranks on each other after lights are out, and send Christmas cards to them before va- cation. Another segment of Circle Two belong to the same organiza- tions you do— die Fine Arts Guild, the TOT, The Business Club, or die sophoniore class. Or you serve on the same ASB committee. Sometimes the group is very spe- cific, like Unionaires. But in gen- eral, Circle Two revolves around your personal life in a lot of ways. Tho people are "pals," or buddies," and they make up the bulk of your treasurer college life. Tho "inner circle" is Circle Number One—the select few you really get to know. It is conceiv- able that a large per cent of Circle Two or Three or Four could make the mark as being a true "close friend." But you just don't have time to find out. Close friends arc time-consuming. Usually they are not alike—vou like each individual for a variety of reasons. But the prime factor with close friends is doing diings together, sharing ex- periences, pooling ideas, blending visions. Circle One friends spend less time on news items, and more tine trving to undersfemd why c thcrs think as die}' do, or feel the wav thev do, and what win be done; about it. These vou love.

GUEST EDITORIAL Senior Visitation Syndrome — by Lynda Kostenko College—the goal that has for so long seemed in the dis- tant future is now only a few months away. What will it be like? Although 1 have been on the eollege campus for band festivals, 1 arrived at Union for Senior Visitation Day with an entirely different purpose. 1 wanted to know what the future holds. It was evident that the day was planned with this in mind. All phases of college life were, to a degree, presented to us. One of the things which helped most in the orientation process was living in a college dorm and eating with the students. I should add that it wasn't hard to get acquainted and feel at home when people are so friendly. Where social relationships are concerned I found a very different and amazing situation. Although no written rules were given to us, it was quite easy to learn by observing. Finances pose another problem. Is college really worth what it costs? In my mind it is. We were assured tnat 1,000 students were meeting expenses tliis year. Exactly liow the individual student faces this matter was not clear. One other question was left unanswered and will prob- ably remain so until next year. What kind of classwork can we expect? College—A Long Shot? In answer to Miss Kostenko's preceding questions. I shall attempt to present a few of the answers, not as an au- thority but as a fellow classmate. The first challenge that comes to mind is the classwork. It is possible to drift through academy in good scholastic standing without wasting too much time studying. But, brace yourself for college, for when you start your college career, future Unionite, you will be faced with strict scholastic com- petition. Then there is the ever present problem of social rela- tionships that always occur when 1,000 young men and women meet on the confines of a small college campus. As you have probably already noticed, no one is "watched" at college. You are expected to have mature judgment and conduct your relationship properly both on campus and off. Of the 400 college freshmen that began their college ca- reer four years ago approximately 25% will receive their diploma this May. This means that there is a very real pos- sibility that you won't make it. College is rough. But the formula for success is still hard work, dedication, and a big smile.

Young man, you're the second-happiest man in the world." Dear Senior (Academy-Style) Next fall if you're lucky you'll be enrolled here at Union College as a full-fledged, flighty, frivolous, and furious freshman. I know diat now diis whole business of college seems just a bit confusing and after Senior Vis- itation more than a little exasper- ating (diose long cafeteria lines). But let me set your niind at rest —it's not that bad at all, it's prob- ably worse! During your visit you saw and heard a lot!—The amount you re- member though is probably negli- gible. So as my contribution to humanity and Acadcmy Seniors here sure a few "U.C. necessities." 1. Don't let this business of col- lege hours for classes disturb you. It's really very simple—if you take a direc-hour class it means diat you sleep for 50 minutes three days a week as opposed to 2 days for a two-hour class. 2. Remember your faculty is here to help you. They're your friends. They'll help you save money by impounding your car; the)''11 help you study during the first weeks by removing all tempt- ing privileges and even on occa- sion will help you grow up.

All Unionitcs are cor- dially invited! James E. Gilbert, '58, a staff member at Lodi Academy will be joining the College staff at the he- ginning of the fall term. He will teach in the mathematics and physics departments. C .W. Slattery, '59, of the chem- istry department at Atlantic Union College, will be studying at the University of Nebraska on his doc- torate degree during the summer term. 3. It is absolutely not true that the Administration frowns on cou- ples. Quite the contrary. They smile on them which in part ex- plains why our faculty looks like ono mass toothpaste ad. 4. Some folks may tell you it's difficult to get out of die dorm at night. This too is false. It's not difficult—it's well nigh impossi- ble! And yet somehow there al- ways seem to be people on die campus, in die library, music hall, administration building—and a few other spots that are known only to a few! 5. College life is full! Full of tests, dates, books, dates, study, and for a change, dates. 0. This brings me to my last point. Your parents, the faculty, and the administration are all un- der the impression you're coming to U.C. for an education—you and I may know better! But for the sake of harmony and because they are older—don't shatter their dreams. Attend classes somewhat periodically (say ever)' Monday and Thursday) car r y books around (that always looks studious and impressive) and even once in a while peer interestedly into a textbook and furrow your brow. (You'll be surprised how good that will make an instructor feel). If you do these tilings you'll keep ev- eryone happy and who knows you may come to like it! (It has been done). There's so much more you should know and much I could tell but I always try not to overload delicate minds with weighty matters. So I'll close with a fitting (or non-lit- ting if you prefer) bit of verse— diat's college for poetry). I came to Union College A freshman just like you— I didn't know quite how to act— What to say or do— But I stuck it out Acquired diat collegiate demeanor And now after fifteen long long years At. last—I'm a college senior!!! L editors Dear Editor: Is our paper censored by our faculty? The reason I ask is that after the last issue of the CLOCK TOWER had gone to press one or the executive academic officers of the college personally had the press remove one line, without editorial approval, from the article "Community on Parade." This article referred to a Heard growing contest which is presently being co-sponsored by the MV and ASB organizations. True, this was not a large change but it is the principle of the matter diat bothers me: who is the one that decides what wo are to read and pay for? Sincerely, Max Trevino ASB Treasurer Editor's note: Mr. Trevino has given us an opportunity to explain this situa- tion. As in most cases this problem arose through a basic lack in com- munications. A Shade of Difference by Kermit Netteburg The trend on the American college campus seems to be action—for student rights, for civil rights, for better scholas- tics; for almost anything. This atmosphere can even be seen invading Seventh-day Adventist college campuses. I recently attended the Eastern Intercollegiate Workshop for ASB leaders and leaders-elect. Student organization officers from campuses over the eastern half of the United States met for three days of informal con- ferences, talks, and brain-storming sessions. This writer came away with but one concrete conclu- sion. There is a shade of difference between Union and the other E.I.W. members. Organization structure, student at- titudes, and staff-student relationships differ. Union's ASB officers of years past have attempted to keep communication lines open and friendly relationships flowing. Next year's officers will most certainly maintain this status quo and try to improve upon it. This is the only way to combine a progressive school administration with an ef- ficiently working student government. Other student organizations at the workshop seemed to promote student-faculty squabbles. They felt conflict was the basis of progress. "Nothing worthwhile is gained without a fight" must be their crusade banner. Conflict invaded even the student organization. Few- newspaper editors were friendly with their ASB president and several were in open conflict. They wish to make their newspaper the ASB's critic. "The newspaper should be the official critic of all campus activities—student, faculty, or board" must be the standard they hold high. The CLOCK TOWER is the official organ of Union's ASB. We receive much support from the ASB. We do not aim to slap the hand that feeds us. Next year should not see a wors- ening in relationships between the ASB president and the editor. Union's shade of difference can be summed up in one word—UNITY. Union's Unity. A clever phrase. It kind of rings. As students, we can insure that this unity will not die. We must keep this present attitude of action chaneled posi- tive directions. I'm very happy to be a student at Union. No other school sounded as good. Of course, I may be a teeny-weeny bit prejudiced. Al umni Weekend Program Thursday, April 29 Homecoming Banquet 7:15 p.m. Master of Ceremonies: Neil W.

This was not made known to any of the ASB commit- tee chairmen responsible for rais- ing money for our parade float. True, an administrative officer did remove a slug (a line of t\pc) from the story mentioned. He also did this without editorial approval. However, he did try to get in touch with the editors, and the editorial adviser was indisposed because of illness. Time was of the essence. All right, now, this explains the situation, but it doesn't explain the principle. The CI.OCK TOWEU is paid for bv the ASB of Union College, but the paper does have a faculty ed- itorial adviser, for which we are very diankful. As a group we feel the responsibility of our positions and are often in need of advice on a controversial question. Clue
