Cooper film to depict saga of eastern Canada On Saturday, October 5, at 8:15 p.m. in the Union College Gymnasium, Don Cooper will present his filmed saga of east- ern Canada entitled "Canadian Holiday." Cooper, who is known to many as "Coop" and who has remained a favorite guest at Union College for several years, was born in the Rocky Mountains of Western Montana. A logger by inheri- tance and a lecturer only by ac- cident, Cooper has spent most of his lifetime working in log- ging camps from Argentina to the Arctic. For some eight years Cooper has spent his summers working and filming in logging camps and his winters lecturing to audiences throughout the United States. Recording various incidents, insights and beauties of the Ca- nadian forests, Cooper has com- piled a film representative of all the areas of eastern Canada in which he has traveled. Included in the film are visits to the Eskimo village of Povung- nituk, Ottawa's tulip festival, Parliament, the changing of the guard, the winter sports of the Laurentian Area, the St. Law- rence River and Seaway and Kingston's old Fort Henry. A helicopter flight to Moose Fac- tory, a ride on the Polar Bear Kappa Theta club amateur hour given Kappa Theta Club presented an Amateur Hour October 3 as a club program for Rees Hall women.

A set of Flash-x portable tach- istoscopes for individual drill are being used. When a lever is press- ed, the shutter on the machine flashes, allowing the operator a 1/25-second glimpse of the word or other material beneath. Through training, the student learns how to pay attention and how to see more accurately what new student council begins legislation The newly elected student council members met for the first time last Tuesday evening. On the agenda was the plan to rent a color television set for the student center for the forth- coming World Series and Olym- pics. The forming of a promotions committee for public relations trips and a nominating commit- tee to set up a committee for Saturday night general activities was also discussed.

A complete Listen and Read program, which includes 30 tapes and programed workbooks, is an- other addition. This program is designed to help in directing and maintaining attention in the listening situation, in associating meaning with spoken words and in developing sensitivity to phrasing, cadence, inflection and emphasis. A new set of stories has been obtained for the EDL Controlled Reader, which is used in the classroom. This machine allows reading material to be projected on the screen and uses a scan- ning device that moves from left to right at any predetermined speed from 50 words per minute to 800 words per minute. The Speed-io-scope attachment per- mits flashing of numbers, words or phrases on the screen from 1/10 second to 1/000 second. Elder Arthur Hauck, director social science club will organize soon Students interested in the for- mation of a social science club should meet Wednesday, Octo- ber 9, at 11:10 a.m. in room 311 in the administration building. The club advisor, Mr. Arthur J. Hirsch, assistant professor of so- ciology, urges all social welfare and sociology majors and minors to attend and lend their support. Officers will be elected and plans laid for the school year. Hirsch reports that club activ- ities will include field trips, spe- cial speakers, films and social get-togethers. Once organized, he contends, the club "will seek to maintain an interesting and progressive program." of the program, stated: "The program now is mainly concern- ed with students who are reading less than the normal rate, as de- termined by several screening tests. We are gradually going to expand the program to include an additional emphasis on skim- ming and scanning, often refer- red to as speed reading." Perspective: a new A.T.S. About 250 students have joined Perspective thus far this year. Perspective is the campus name for the American Temperance Society. Jack Reise, president of the organization, says, "We want to give the temperance club a really genuine perspective, focused on better living habits, not only for Union but also for the commu- nity. Our aim is campus-wide in- volvement, especially in commu- nity temperance activities." A new addition to the tem- perance club is an education de- partment. Darlene Shumaker, secretary erf the club, says, "This new department will focus en- tirely on visiting Lincoln schools with the aid of Smoking Sam, films, questionnaires and ora- tions which will aid in stressing the theme of "insights into bet- ter living." She added that "a more detailed discussion of the club's plans will be disclosed dur- ing convocation on October 4." The officers of the club are Jack Reise, president; Darlene Shumaker, secretary; Francine Reise and Lee Steele, education; Roy Orr, treasurer; and Mr. Ced- ric Ward, instructor in history, advisor. 2 THE CLOCK TOWER October 11, 1968 • • as we see it. press implies Recently we received a press release addressed to the "Cluck Tower." We hadn't realized that the news of the gentler sex taking over the student publication had traveled so fast. We realize that a girl has not been elected as editor for several years. And our staff is made up primarily of women. However, we want to make it clear that we are not discriminating against the male sector on campus. We are attempting to cover all aspects of college life, so we need to have as many men on our staff as possible. It may be, though, that our staff shows the same pattern of division concerning the sexes as the campus in general—women outnumber men. In spite of the majority of women on the staff, we hope that you do not have the impression of our paper that is implied in the phrase "Cluck Tower." L-0- what you look for Union College students are just a bunch of worthless kids. They are Irresponsible, unfriendly, immoral, sacrilegious, and what's more, the girls all wear extremely short skirts and the guys swear pro- fusely. What do you think? Is that true? Is that what Union College students are? Of course not. But an example of an extreme may prove a point more clearly than the real situation can. It seems that some individuals at Union College are looking for the wrong things. Consequently they see only negative aspects. They see, think and hear just what they want to see, believe and hear. An issue in question involves two things: positive thinking and hasty generalization. Let us consider two recent topics that most students are aware of. One is the language problem which we hear mentioned. Ask one fellow if he hears much bad language and he'll tell you he doesn't. Ask another and he'll reply emphatically that there is really a serious problem. Yes, association may make part of the difference, but in the course of a day one encounters almost every type of person on cam- pus. Could it be that the former just isn't listening for bad language and the latter is on the look-out for whatever is bad? Secondly, there is the matter of skirt lengths. Ask one Rees Hall resident if she thinks the girls are wearing their skirts too short and she will tell you no. Ask another and she'll say the situation is ab- solutely awful! Of course, we all realize that personality, background and opin- ions enter into these answers, but one of the greatest influences on each of these is the slant of one's thinking. If we come to college looking for teachers and friends who are Christ-like, we will certainly find them. Granted, some UC students may be worthless, irresponsible, un- friendly, immoral and sacrilegious. Some may wear their skirts too short; others may have a language problem. But, thinking real- istically, we have to admit that the large majority of UC students are "good kids." This brings us to the matter of hasty generalization. Just be- cause one or several students use bad language does not mean they all do. Or just because several girls wear their skirts shorter than most by no means indicates that they all do. Nor does the fact that one or several dress designers are homosexuals and hate women prove that all designers are the same. (Incidentally, it was a woman who started the trend of shorter skirts.) We must be careful not to judge all the individuals In a group by just one person. Just because one thing is bad does not mean everything is. This fact applies to so many things relevant to us. It includes forming opinions of the school as a whole. Some students come to college and dislike the first two days so they leave on the third day. Just because two days are bad doesn't mean that the whole year will be bad. In all that we encounter we need to look for the good. If we do not, we will never be happy. A GI in Vietnam says that he looks for whatever is good during the day, and by doing this he stays happy. Life teaches that people find what they look and listen for. Harry Neal of Nelson and Neal piano team dies of heart attack Dr. Harry Neal, male member of the Nelson and Neal duo-piano team scheduled to perform here in October, died last week of a heart attack. Mrs. Neal may re- turn to the concert stage after the first of the year, according to the team's booking agent. Harry Neal and Allison Nelson met and married in Philadelphia where both were attending the Curtis Institute of Music. Neal came from Tennessee and Nel- son is an Australian. This was the beginning of a joint musical career. Nelson and Neal were first engaged by the Philadelphia CBS-TV station to present a series of weekly pro- grams devoted to four-hand music. Following this they went to Australia, where the Australian Broadcasting Commission also presented them in a series of radio recitals. Since then, Nel- son and Neal have plaved over a thousand concerts in America, Asia, Australia and Europe. They traveled 40,000 miles in North America, visiting 152 cities in the United States alone. In addition to concerts, these artists devoted their summers to practice, research and teaching students from all over the world at their ante-bellum home in Paris, Tennessee. Their students were required to practice six hours a day. The only exception ever made to this was a seven- year-old German prodigy who studied with them and was per- mitted to practice only three and a half hours daily because of her youth. The artists have three chil- dren, a boy and two girls. Their son, John, was appointed as a page to the United States Sen- ate in 1968. Dr. Neal wrote an autobi- ography, Wave As You Pass (Manorhouse Press), the title ta- ken from a sign which once ap- peared in the rear of their piano van.

With its office perched high on fifth floor among the constantly cooing pigeons and with its busy staff brooded over by a chic, skirted editor, the inevitable was bound to happen and it did. Pos- sibly, it might have been some sub-consciously bigoted big- wheel publicly issuing a Freudian slip. Perhaps it was only a can- did secretary trying to say it just the way it was when, last week, Lynnet DeRemer received a let- ter from a well-known periodical, addressed to the Editor of the Cluck Tower.

Stone, chairman of the education department, is giving a series of lectures at a teacher's convention in New York City this week. His lectures are dealing with interpersonal relationships be- tween teachers and students and suggestions on how to maintain good mental health for teachers. Dr. Stone stated that with the increased stress and strain on students in this modern age, teachers need to find new and better ways of reaching minds and maintaining interest.

At the Quadrennial Council for Higher Education held last Au- gust at Andrews University, a resolution was passed to send a letter of recognition and appre- ciation to several nurses in the denomination for the lasting contribution made to the Sev- enth-day Adventist nursing by Mitchell keynotes mission program Jerry Mitchell, student mis- sionary last year in South Amer- ica, will address the Foreign Mis- sions Band at their first meeting on October 11. The purpose of this organiza- tion is "to help the students who are interested in missions to have a more complete picture of all the facets of mission life," according to Paul Aoyagi, pres- ident of the club. Speakers are invited to give guidance on how to deal with native workers, to tell what pro- fessions and skills are most need- ed in mission work, and also to speak of their personal expe- riences overseas. This year the club is looking forward to having Jerry Mitchell tell of his work in South Amer- ica, to having the International Club present a program and to having several students who are children of missionaries tell of their mission countries. The Foreign Missions Band sponsors the annual hanging of the Golden Cords and also has a project each year. This year the club hopes to send Pathfind- er uniforms to the Inca Union. In past years medical supplies have been sent to the student missionaries. The organization meets every other Friday at 7 p.m. until ves- pers in the South Hall worship room.

Eigh- teen-year-old Paulette Hong, from Honolulu, Hawaii, feels that if she had to she could defend herself in almost any situation. Her training started three Photo by Gory Bollinger Paulette Hong practices karate techniques which she has acquired. years ago at the Japan Interna- tional Karate Center in Hono- lulu. Karate is an offensive art. The beginner starts out as a white belt, then progresses through the purple, green, blue, three degrees of brown and five degrees of black. The first thing one learns, Paulette says, is the basic exer- cises, and as he progresses he combines these basics into dance forms. After one receives the black belt he concentrates more on form and technique. Part of Paulette's training took place at karate camps in which she started working out at 5 a.m. and worked till 10 p.m. Her reg- ular work-out was two hours a day. By doing this over the past three years she has received her first degree black belt. Paulette took karate at first to feel "big." She added that after the first three months and the first promotion she was def- initely humbled. The teachers saw to this by getting her down on the mat and "beating me to a pulp," which she said was "very effective.'' Physical development, self-de- fense, concentration and—de- spite her beginning—enjoyment are the main things she feels she has gained from karate. The different demonstrations that she has been in were per- formed mostly for servicemen at Hickam Air Force Base, Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Kaneohu Marine base and at high schools for the students. Paulette's mother has her black belt in judo and is also an instructor. these leaders. Miss Sloane's name was included among those to be recognized. She received a letter from Dr. T. S. Geraty, one of the associate secretaries of the Gen- eral Conference education de- partment, indicating apprecia- tion for her contribution to Sev- enth-day Adventist nursing. Miss Ruth Haller, chairman of the department of nursing, points out that over the years Miss Sloane has been very active in promoting emergency and dis- aster nursing both in the school and the community. In recogni- tion for her work in this area she was honored at a banquet given by the Mile High Chapter of the American National Red Cross and given a plaque which reads as follows: "In grateful ap- preciation for distinguished and devoted service to humanity." Denver campus nursing students receive stripes relations; Ron Booth and Doris Day, ushers; and Mr. Eldon Christie, instructor of history, sponsor. The officers invite all interested persons to attend their meetings. scuba (living class available on campus Twenty-one students are cur- rently enrolled in the co-educa- tional scuba and skin diving class offered this year for the first time by the physical education department. Mr. William D. Pierce, a pro- fessional underwater instructor from Omaha, teaches this class and others like it in the univer- sities and colleges in the area. The class meets for three hours on Tuesday nights at the college pool. The course runs eleven weeks. During the course, the students spend half of the time skin div- ing, working with fins, snorkel and mask. The other half of the course deals with scuba diving, during which the students be- come acquainted with self-con- tained breathing apparatus. Class time is equally divided between dry-land work, lectures and note-taking and actual un- der-water experience. The class will be offered both semesters.

October 16. high point resumes High point, "a daily presenta- tion of Christ-like living," ac- cording to Karen Affolter, direc- tor of the program, is held in the South Hall worship room each noon at 12:15. Miss Affolter noted that "our attendance has generally been fewer than 50. We could comfort- ably seat about 200 more people." Because High point is not a club and therefore includes all stu- dents, Karen expects more peo- ple to come "for a glimpse of practical Christianity." Students and faculty members present short programs each day. Miss Affolter noted that musical programs are also being planned. Thirty-seven nursing students received their stripes in the chapel exercises held at the Den- ver Campus on September 23. The one stripe on the junior's caps represents the completion of the summer quarter in Fund- amentals of Nursing. The seniors received their second stripe after completing the necessary re- quirements for four quarters. Elder E. E. Christian, chaplain at Porter Memorial Hospital, de- livered the address to the nurs- ing students. The seniors then placed the stripes on the juniors' caps and the faculty presented the seniors with their stripes. Lynette Avey received her stripe from Lynda Scoggs at chapel exercises on September 23. women establish corridor meetings Corridor meetings, a new idea initiated this year, have begun in Rees Hall. The women are divid- ed into seven groups, the separa- tion based on where they room in the dorm.

In addition, they strive to discover ways to make dorm life better, according to Miss Hilda Fern Remley, dean of women. Miss Remley added that later this year she will invite one group a month to meet in her apartment and have a "fire-side chat." One coming meeting will be devoted to vocations. During this program the women will choose from four different topic groups. Secondary education, nursing, social work and secretarial science are some of the tentative subjects. Invited to lead out in these groups will be a profession- al person from each vocation.

The regular season began September 24 with Stearns facing Reynolds. In this game a new time system was used with the games divided into two twenty minute halves omitting the old four ten minute quarters. The clock ran straight through with the exception of the last two minutes of each half when the clock stopped for all time- outs, incomplete passes and out- of-bounds. The game finished too early and now the old four quarter system has been again resumed. In the game each team had the ball three times, Stearns scoring twice and Reynolds once. The final score was Stearns 13, Rey- nolds 6. On Wednesday, Karr faced Pogue. Karr had bad luck the first few minutes of the game having a safety scored against him. The next play from scrim- mage was a pass play that was intercepted and later led to a touchdown for Pogue. The scoring was not to stop there as Pogue rolled up three more touchdowns and held Karr on defense to a shut-out 32-0. On Thursday night Siebenlist encountered Reynolds and came out on top, 19-4. The Siebenlist victory came slow with a hard fight. games dose in soccer action In soccer action last Sunday Darcy Mandzuk's team edged Ed Lynn's team 1-0.
