Fred Morris, (Continued on page 2) Minchin Is President of Seminary Class 1 Gerald H. Minchin, '32, was president of the class receiving de- grees from the Seventh-day Ad- ventist Theological Seminary in ^Washington, D.C. on May 23. Mr. Minchin received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. Other Union graduates receiving degrees (Mas- Tier of Arts) at the same service were J. Franklin Ashlock, '43, Prac- tical. Theology; Beresford Michael Blaine, '55, Biblical Greek; Avery C -ncr Dick, '38, Archaeology and ory of Antiquity; and Clarence Renschlcr, '40, Bible and Sys- .w-matic Theology. y. The Commencement address was given by Elder H. L. Rudy, vice- president of the General Confer- ence. The degrees were conferred .Jjy President Ernest D. Dick of the Seminary. Dr. W. H. Beaven, former stair member at Union, gave the benediction. It was with a deep sense of humility that Mrs. Bieber and I accepted the call to return to Union College, this time not as stu- dents but in administrative capacity. We are returning to Union because of our sincere belief that God leads His people in paths according to His divine will. We have learned to trust God as we have endeavored to serve in various fields in the homeland and abroad. It is also our sincere love for Union and the people compris- ing its constituency that has prompted us in this decision. In preparing for the move from California to our home in the great Midwest we found buried in the old trunks and boxes copies of the commencement editions of the CLOCK TOWER of years gone by. As we viewed the pictorial memories of "good old Union" days we were reminded anew of the many hundreds of friends, classmates, end other youth of the great Midwest who have left Union and are now carrying positions of responsibility throughout the world field. God has surely blessed the products of Union College. Now as the days of administrative work at Union lie ahead, Mrs. Bieber and I wish to pledge our all to the upholding and the promoting of the traditional high standards of Union College. The high standards—academically, socially, and spiritually—of Union are not the result of accident, but have come into being because of farsighted visions and consecrated efforts of former administrators, board members, staff members, and thousands of students and patrons. It is because of this that we greatly sense the responsibility of our task, and, hence, our pledge. It is our desire to unite our efforts with the staff and students in the continuation of a harmonious program of living and learning together. I wish to appeal to prospective students to prayerfully consider your future and, if God so directs, to join the hundreds of young men and women currently enrolled at Union College. A good staff and a friendly student body will be on hand to welcome you next fall. We shall plan and work together to make Union still a bigger and better college. We shall together implement the great Divine pattern for Ch risSan education on this, your college, campus The college will always welcome constructive and helpful sug geitions from alumni, students, and friends. May God richly bless us all as we humbly unite our efforts in the Master's Service. Portraits Are Given for U nion s Halls Enrollment for the summer session of nine weeks shows an increase of 18 over the total enrollment of last year for both sessions.

Well, we suggest that you don't get too alarmed. Most persons react the same way. However, before you get too excited, we suggest that you consult with your physician, ond don't indulge in the dangerous practice of self-diagnosis based upon what you've read or heard. In some instances, symptoms for different types of diseases can be similar, and it takes an expert diagnostician—your family physician—to tell the difference. Check with him before getting too panicky.

Sorenson are planning the de- tails of the practice in cooperation with the civil defense committee of of the church whose chairman is Miss Alice Smith. The evacuation rehearsal would be especially valuable if the church should catch fire during a service. Teachers Study During Summer Ten staff members of Union Col- lege will complete or continue work on doctorates this summer and next year, according to information released by Dean E. B. Ogden. Leaves of absence have also been granted to seven others for work on Master's degrees. R. E. Firth, business department head, will continue his studies at the University of Nebraska this summer and next year on a part- time basis. Also taking advanced work in business administration this summer will be Paul W. Joice, whose major field is marketing. He will be at State University of Iowa. Continuing work on their doc- torates taken up this year will be J. Wesley Rhodes and Leif Kr. Tobiassen, heads of the music and religion departments respectively. Rhodes is now at Columbia Uni- versity and Tobiassen at New York University. Both of them will be back sometime this summer. Elder P. C. Jarnes, acting head of 'the religion department, has taken a leave of absence for this summer and next year to further studies at the Seventh-day Advent- ist Theological Seminary. Neil W. Rowland, biology de- partment head, will be studying on a part-time basis this suiiiirier at the University of Nebraska. Pro- fessor Earl Leonhardt will be at the University of Kansas studying methods in teaching mathematics. Music staff members Neil Tilkens and William Haynes will both be on summer leave.

So quiet, in fact, that ma- terial for this column is much more scarce than when two hundred or more of the fair sex roamed the premises. Welcomes are extended to the newly arrived summer school stu- dents. Many have returned for their second, third, or fourth sum- mers at Union. Several more are new on our campus. A welcome goes out, too, to several members of next fall's freshman class who are working here this summer. Stick to it, gals. That credit balance will come in handy when next fall rolls around. Tornadoes, air raids, fires—Union College summer school students should be well prepared for any such emergency, thanks to several recent drills under the direction of Miss Alice Smith and Civil Defense wardens on the campus. A fire drill about eleven o'clock one night brought sleepy complaints from several occupants of North Hall, but such preparations will pay dividends in an emergency. Several of North Hall's "younger" members serve to make life there more interesting this summer. Judy Higby's long flying braids and bright, cheery "Hi" as she passes give youthful vigor to many with slow, tired muscles. Little Kathy Compton and Douglas Beyer are also spending the summer with their parents in North Hall. Doug- las seems to have voluntarily joined the campus police force. His bright blue and white ped-omatic police car can usually be spotted some- where near the current scene of action. Beware, all you would-be traffic violators! Pearl L. Rees Hall begins to re- semble our "dream dorm" more and more as the brick walls go up. As this is penned, the bricklayers have reached the second floor level.

Those receiving degrees are Al- fred. Bennett, '53, John Crane, '53, and Leo Hartman, '50. The three graduates majored in Biology at their graduation here. The Kansas City school does not hold classes on Sabbath; therefore Seventh-day Adventists find it pos- sible to get medical training there. Although osteopaths receive full medical and surgical training, they are not permitted to practice in some states. They receve the de- gree of D.O. rather than M.D. Summer School (Continued from page 1) Leno, Mr. Howard; Physical Edu- cation, Dr. Ogden; Religion, Dr. Welch, Elder Young, Mr. Hauck and Elder Deming; Speech, Mr. Hauck.

Miss Floda Smith Chosens for Who's Who Miss Floda Smith, Union College librarian since 1941, will be listed in the first edtion of Who's Who of American Women, according to A. N. Marquis, publisher. The names of the entries are chosen from the biographical data received by the publisher. "Attainments and position are the prerequisites to Miss Floda Smith listing in the new volume," stated the publisher. The volume is being published to meet the demand for informa- tion without making Who's Who impossibly large and unwieldy to handle. The new book will con- tain upwards of 20.000 biographies- in-brief of women noteworthy in all fields of endeavor. It will eon- tain 1000 pages and will be ready for distribution this fall.

The degree eliminates the ground work. Because of the time and money spenf to attain the sheepskin we feel ready to fill the top positions. We would do far better to step first into the press room before managing the publishing house; first into the class room before into the principal's office; first into the district before the conference office; first become a private before becoming a sergeant. We are prepared to reach higher by our college diligence, but our preparation is not complete until we experience the underling's problems. Summer Sabbath Keeping Is Important What about Sabbath observance during the summer? How shall I spend my time? It is so easy for college student to turn their at- tention and conversation to studies and bills even on the Sabbath. Often we fail to REMEMBER God's holy day. It is a problem what to do on Sabboth for many students. Some are tempted to feel that because there aren't so many Adventssts around we are free to keep or not keep the Sabbath. Shall we obey God? Have you spent Friday evening preparing Jo teach the Sabbath School lesson, or better early Sabbath morning? Then would it be w ng to sleep on Sabbath ofterr.oon? Let us see what we did last £jbbath. The test is whether or nor it h honored Gou. M.R.

Editor's Mail Dear Editor: I have several suggestions which may help to improve the school paper in the future. First, there should be a definite aim toward greater student participation, i.e., reports on student activities, club functions. This cou'd possibly in- clude a regular report from a re- presentative of each major club on the campus. Second, our goal should be for expansion of the 1957-58 paper. Third, the school paper should be the voice of the student body. Fourth, provisions should be made for a ' Critics Cor- ner," a column whereby students faculty and departmental leaders may voice their opinir.ns in a legit- imate manner without discrimina- tion as far as position or influence is concerned. Undoubtedly, this would curtail the practice of un- dercurrent papers floating around the campus and would enable many a frustrated leader to do something beside "gripe, groan, grin and bear it." f am sure that our student body would appreciate knowing they could voice their protests in a justifiable manner, rather than be subjected to un- authorized articles which serve no useful purpose and actually mili- tate against student representa- tion. If these things cannot be ar- ranged, then the student body has a right to be informed whether the Clock Tower is the voice of the student body, or is an origan for some other purpose? If it is not the representative, public voice of the students, then is it possible that we are failing to fulfill the purpose of a publication of this nature. HAROLD BREWER Dear Editor: This is to inform you that I am going on furlough in May, 1957, so do not send the CLOCK TOWER. 1 have appreciated receiving it. It is wonderful to know when one is out on the frontiers, that some- where in the homeland new re- cruits are preparing to help carry on to the finish the great task of carrying this gospel to all the world, and then shall the end come. In this particular spot in Sep- tember, 1956, we opened a school of nursing, and last week a church school. We hear that Professor Hamilton and his associates over- seas are working hard to build up the new high school in Chuihai- kana. Many missionaries should be out here studying the language to help write texts and literature so much needed. THE UNDIAGNOSED My, but the time has gone by fast since we left the main campus of ' clear old Union" to come to the Denver campus for our clinical work. Jt will be less tuan two weeks belore our montn s vacation will start. We are anxious to see the senior nursing students who will be here before we get back from our vacation. "Mom" Cornell is busy counting noses and counting beds, trying to find room to squeeze all of us into the dormitory. Don't think that we will be sleeping here all the time, though. We are only waiting for the time when we will be oriented to sleeping bags in the mountains. It seems that Zerita Hagerman and Esther Hensel and the Bergmans just couldn't wait so they ventured out a few week-ends ago, in spite of deep snow. Results—drying shoes and clothes by camp fire, and straight hair. Esther was to report on duty shortly after she arrived back on the campus. One of her patients, a little boy, looked her in the eye and frankly said, "My, nurse, you have funny hair!" Mrs. Marrow, one of the nurses from surgical floor, has moved re- cently. We are going to miss her, and remember her for a long lime. She has given the student nurses her TV set for our "spare time." Miss Frances Pride, our psychiatric nursing teacher, will soon be back from her three month's leave of absence. She has been observng in some of the eastern centers of psychiatric education for basic students of nursing. Yale University School of Nursing in New Haven, Connecti- cut, Boston University School of Nursing, Rutgers University School of Nursing in Newark, New Jersey and the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland are just a few of the places that she has visited. She dropped in at the biennicl convention of the National League for Nursing in Chicago on her way home. Sherri Saturley was quite surprised when she walked in her room about eleven o'clock one night. Just before she came up from work some of us hid behind beds, in the closet, behind doors, and under the dresser. She was greeted with "Happy Birthday" and a birthday cake that one of our patients had given to Muffin Kavanaugh. It seems that some of our students have forgotten the preventative measures for avoiding sunburn, while trying to get a sun tan. Jean Van DenBrink and Joan Frederickson seem to be the unfortunate ones, while Bettv Campbell and Mary Lou Bvers are tanning quite nicely. This mile- high altitude of Denver plays tricks and sunburn is easy to get. We were pleased to have as guests on our campus: Miss Ann Stratton, Associate Dean of the department of nursing in Walla Walla College, Miss Bessie Irvine, Director of the School of Nursincr and Nursing Service >'n the Tokyo Sanitarium and Hospital, and Miss Wilma Leazer. Director of the School of Nursing and Nursing Service in the Bandung Mission Hospital, Bandung, Java, Indonesia. Miss Leazer and Lena Navis knew each other when Lena lived in Singapore. Tilkens Have Their Own '3 RV • r 'J • >• ? «» \±i. « <-» ^ •> " r • W- : i • ... . . v- ' . . v- < • , • '* • - . • '' • „ • To most people and 011 most campuses, the 3 lVs simply mean Readin', Ritin', and 'Rithmetic, but to the Tilkens family, the 3 R's mean Ronnie, 4, Raymond, 2, and Rowena, 1. The Tilkens family came to Union two years ago to join the music faculty. Two of the R's came with them, and R No. 3 joined the family last year. The 3 little R's are rollicking, robust, and ruddy—always ready to keep their music-loving parents in a happy mood. The Tilkens family will be away from the Union College campus for e. year. Mr. Tilkens will be study- ing to complete his doctorate in musicology in Washington, D.C. He has been acting head of the music department this year in the absence of Mr. Rhodes. In his busy program of direction, he has always1, seemed to have time for the "extras" such as music for spe- cial occasions, music tours, chapel programs, recitals, and other mat- ters so important to an effective music department such as Union College has. God bless you all at clear old Union College. Very sincerely, Emma Binder Karachi, Pakistan Dear Editor: We will like it better to have the CLOCK TOWER subscription ex- tend two years instead of having it come to each of us for one year as in the past. And f must add a few lines to The Tilkens are interested in an- tiques; their home contains many evidences of this interest. O11 one occasion this year, while on music tour, Mr. Tilkens was actually known to tell the driver of the car who saw an "Antique Shop: 2 blocks east" sign, "Drive on! 1 promised my wife. . . ." So they passed by that opportunity to add an antique to his collection. Any- way, there wasn't time to stop! Both Mr. and Mrs. Tilkens are musicians; Mrs. Tilkens is an or- ganist and has played the organ in the College View church often for Sabbath services. Mr. Tilkens, however, is not the long-haired type of musician; he wears his hair cropped close. Quite unusual for his profession! His skill on the piano, his ap- preciation of good music, and his fine leadership have been inspiring to everyone these two years. Wc are looking forward to his return to Engel Hall and Union College. And. of course, the 3 little R's and their mother will be welcomed back, too. Anne Observer let you know we are still here on the rim-edge of the good old United States. Herman was a Master Plumber when we came here 26 years ago and now at 75 years of age, he is still as active as ever and working hard at his trade. Then his overgrown hobby—honey and bees—and two local offices take his time entirely. Most sincerely, Mrs. J. Herman Larkin Laredo, Texas r
