If C.T. CAMPAIGN OPENS NOV. 14 Skip Day Promised for 3750 Sub Goal Opening date for the C.T. cam- paign has been set for November 14, and plans are well under way, reports campaign manac-v Bobby Roberts. The goal is 3750. This goal represents four subscriptions per student. If the goal is reached with 75 per cent of the student body participating there will be an extra day of Christmas vacation. Men versus women. Be on the watch for further an- nouncement of details. miter Volume XXVII UNION COLLECE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 Number 4 Nine S.D.A. Colleges Represented at S.A.

Under the leadership of Percy Paul, Don Hilliard, and Miss Floda Smith, the group has started its march toward investiture this spring. Requirements in tree and flower study have already been completed under the direction of Mrs. Jeu- rink and star study classes are be- ing held each Friday evening with Jack Christensori instructing. Other assistants are: Mary Lou Peckham, Rose Drake, Joe Ray, Marvin Gun- ter, and Mrs. Don Hilliard. Hartman Will Attend Alumni Meeting President Hartman has agreed to be the guest speaker at a meeting of the California Chapter of the Union College Alumni Association, Sunday evening, November 18. The meeting will be held at the Glen- dale Union Academy. Attention! Dates for the new series of Se- lective Service College Qualifica- tion tests have been set for Decem- ber 13, 1951, and April 24, 1952. Application blanks, which may be obtained by the registrant in any Local Board office, for the Decem- ber 13 test must be postmarked not later than midnight, Monday, No- vember 5, 1951. Union College will be one of the testing centers. Brigadier General Guy N. Hen- ninger, Nebraska Director of Se- lective Service, stressed the impor- tance of all eligible students taking the test as it may be hard to con- vince their local board that they should be deferred as students without this test score result. BIRTHS Donnie's brother, Marvin Eu- gene, arrived 5:00 p.m. August 20, 1951. He weighed seven pounds and six ounces. All doing fine. (Signed) Donald and Orletta Dealy A girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Miller, September 26, weight 5 lbs. and 6 oz. Name Sherry Lynn Miller. Mrs. Miller is the former Jeanette Hause. Mr. and Mrs. Reggie Mattison are the parents of a baby girl born October 16. Patty Lee weighed 6 lbs. 10% oz. NOTICE While everything else goes up, the CLOCK TOWER goes down—the office, that is. New location — room 208. Office hours will be posted. Men's Dorm Plans Approved Plans for the new men's dormi- tory as drawn by architect Davis were presented to the General Con- ference Building Plans Committee Wednesday evening, October 24. They were approved subject to de- tailed plans and specifications be- ing presented later. This dormitory will provide quarters for a 300-student cafeteria, a 60-student banquet room, kitchen facilities, 240-student dormitory space, 5 guest rooms, dean's apart- ment, worship room, and storage room. It was also voted to start con- struction in the spring or as soon thereafter as permits and materials may be secured. The front and the south wing will be built around the present building. As soon as these sections are ready for occupancy, the old South Hall will be torn down and the final wing of the new building constructed. The total area of the building is approximately 59,208 sq. ft., and the total estimated cost of die en- tire building is $582,080.00. M.V. Organizes Forces for Second Advent Crusade The joint Union College and Col- lege View M.V. society is planning a campaign designed to saturate the 110,000-person Lincoln area with news of Christ's second ad- vent. Don Aalborg, senior minis- terial student, is the new leader of this missionary youth organization. Spearheaded by more than 200 students in six action bands, the society has placed emphasis upon contact with non-Adventist homes. An immediate objective of the M.V. group is the employment of its Sabbath afternoon offerings to provide Thanksgiving meals for destitute families of the commu- nity. Largest of the half-dozen bands is Norman Sharp's 75-student home Bible study group. Naomi Reyn- olds heads a five-car caravan of 25 students to Bethany homes to dis- tribute approximately 180 pieces of the "Know Your Bible" series. Tor- sten Dahlberg and fifty others con- duct branch Sabbath schools in Palmyra, Weeping Water, and Ash- land. Unique is Jack Christenson's tele- vision unit consisting of 30 stu- dents. This group's function is to enter homes showing T.V. antennas and to encourage viewing of the Faith for Today programs. Daimi Ramey heads three sun- shine bands consisting of about thirty students. These groups visit nursing and rest homes to read scripture and sing hymns. Beverly Blost, Ann Hazelton, and Mtjrna Wiltse are leaders in a Sab- bath afternoon Bible story circle for children. In addition to weekly Sabbath meetings the M.V. society is re- sponsible this year for planning a monthly Friday evening vesper service. Executive Officers of the society include the following: Perry Pedcr- son and Russell Strom, assistant leaders; Bonnie Syfert and Joyce Zummach, secretaries; and Miss Miller, faculty sponsor. Roberts and Miller Lead Senior and Junior Classes Bobby Roberts was elected pres- ident of the senior class when diey met October 26. Bobby is a minis- terial major from Texas. Other class officers are: Vice-president, Reuben Beck, North Dakota; secretary, Verdell Wall, Nebraska; treasurer, Ronald Moore, California; pastor, Norman Sharp, Nebraska; ser- geant-at-arms, Bill Courtney, Min- nesota. The junior class elected Cyril Miller as their president. Cyril is a religion major from Oklahoma. The junior class officers are: Vice-presi- dent, Donna Rae Smith, Texas; secretary, Carol Grubbs, Missouri; treasurer, John Haffner, Oklahoma; pastor, Perry Pederson, Iowa; par- liamentarian, Manford Sandefur, Texas. Fifty SA Representatives Attend 2nd Workshop Fifty student association repre- sentatives and sponsors from nine colleges attended a workshop on the Union College campus this last week end. The first general session was held Saturday evening at 6:45. Palmer Wick was elected general chairman, Clarice Anderson and Aline Wallis associate secretaries. Session began again Sunday morning at 7:45. Topics on the agenda were: 1. Spiritual Activities 2. Social and Recreational Activ- ities 3. Clubs 4. Publications 5. Nominations and Elections 6. Credit for student participa- tion 7. Sponsorship 8. Student forums, senates, staff councils 9. Financing student activities 10. Next inter-collegiate workshop Sunday morning the workshop was divided into two committees, a publisher committee and an ad- ministrator committee. Jerome Las- tine from Atlantic Union College was elected chairman of the ad- ministrator's committee. The publishers' committee sub- divided then. Mareta Jensen was chairman of the committee on school papers, and Dick Hunt was chairman of the committee on school yearbooks. Monday morning after all topics had been discussed, a recommen- dation committee, consisting of all the chairmen and all the secretaries brought recommendations before the general session to be voted on. The Student Association resolved that: All North American colleges are to send one annual to "Editor in Chief" of each college to be kept on file for permanent record. Business managers of school pub- lications should receive a suitable remuneration. Editors-in-chiefs should be the ranking officer of the publication. Major student association officers should be in term of office for a year. The Editors-in-chief of school publications should receive a suit- able remuneration for editorial du- ties. All student associations in North America should send a report on all good films to all student asso- ciations who were present at the workshop. The Inter-collegiate workshop will be held again at Union next fall beginning on Wednesday and lasting until Friday, beginning ei- ther October 22 or October 29.

I think it definitely was. Good ideas were shared, and it seems to have brought about a better understanding among the schools. It's just too bad more UC students didn't take advantage of the opportunity to sit in on the meetings. On the whole it went very smoothly, but we (Union College) slipped up in several places. For instance (I'm almost too embarrassed to write this), the sliidents from AUC had to sleep in their car after arriving early Friday a.m., because the night clerk hadn't found out where they were to stay. The workshop is to be held here again next year. Let's start right now seeing how much better we can make it. MJI 2as Well, at last someone is going to do something about the conduct at programs. And it's high time, too. No more children running around. No more walking in during numbers. No more loud talking. More power to you, Dr. Logan and Professor Rhodes. We want to congratulate you on the progress so far. A For every person engaged in crime there are seven engaged in teaching—which doesn't pay either. A Please don't hold me responsible for what you find in this column this week—I'm writing it at 5:00 a.m. The reason: someone with a delightful sense of humor evidently couldn't read the calendar and thought last night was Halloween. Three-fourths of the lights on the campus went out about 9:00 p.m. It had its amusing aspects though. Wayne Page seems to have enjoyed the scramble in the gym as the skaters tried to get stopped and take their skates off. Three boys in the dorm were heard to lament the fact that they had not gone to the library. Ray Bailey moaned as he made his way back to the dorm, "The lights go out, but that clock just won't stop." li Later. Since I was already up, I decided to go to breakfast—just for the novelty of it. More eager beavers! The trays were gone from the cafeteria. I managed to get my breakfast to the table—toast in one hand, tomato juice in the other, and eggs in my pocket, hard boiled. Delores Boomer did one better—she balanced her milk on her head. A Bouquets . . . To Miss Whitfield for the new drapes in the dining room. To Garry Kirtley for painting the sign for the Clock Tower and Golden Cords office. To the students who worked to make the S.A. banquet a success. Rotten tomatoes . . . To the 50 per cent of the student body which did not vote in the last school election. iik Due to circumstances beyond our control, the CT campaign is starting late. The immediate delay—exciting, breath-taking, long- anticipated nine weeks exams. But I'm writing my letters now and hope to be able to turn in at least ten of my subs the opening day. A word to the wise is sufficient. EMPTY Soul Interview Eula May Lindquist spent the summer weeks in canvassing, and she tells a most inspiring experience which took place on one of those discouraging days when it is hard for a colporteur to continue his work. A middle-aged lady who came to the door at this particular home seemed very interested in Bible study, but she seemed more interested in telling Eula May the doctrines of her church than in listening. The lady was a member of one of the prominent Protestant churches, and since Eula May did not know exactly the beliefs of this particular church, she listened quietly. Before she left, she was per- mitted to leave Bible Readings in the home, and the two of them promised to write to each other. After receiving several letters containing literature and advice intended to convince her that her belief was wrong, Eula May received a letter during the first week in October that seemed entirely different. Her correspondent had broken her arm and explained that because of this accident she had found time to read the literature that had been sent and Bible Readings. She stated that she wanted Eula May to know that she wanted to keep studying. Our fellow student says, "Somehow I feel that I have evidence that she and her sister will find this truth. They are both good sincere Christians. I feel very much encouraged, and I hope and pray that I will see them in the kingdom of heaven." —Eunice Fisher THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Chosen by Jerry McGill and Bob Conway In my quiet room I talked with my Friend today; I opened my heart to Him with its weight of care. I spoke of the burdens I carried along the way; I sought His help as I knelt at His feet in prayer. I told Him my griefs, forgetting He knew them all; I prayed for my own, forgetting that He could see Within their hearts each need, though great or small, Each unsolved problem and dark perplexity. In my quiet room I talked with the Friend I love, As1 He engineered His planets, His stars, His suns; My little world was what I was dreaming of, My little day, and my own near, precious ones. And He with hands on the universe, His eyes Upon endless space and the sweep of eternity, Bent above me, listening to my cries, And, forgetting my faults and failures, answered me. —Anonymous ... • /A'. .V. ,'A'.

Department of Physics Completes Research Project The government research project which has been conducted by the department of physics since No- vember of 1948 was completed with the issuing of a final techni- cal report dated September 30, 1951. This work was done under sub- contract with Stanford University under a prime contract sponsored jointly by the Navy Department, the United States Army, and the Air Corps. The technical report, entitled Probe Measurements of Potential Within High-density Electron Beams, was printed by the College Press and bound in the college colors. The report included ap- proximately 240 pages and 75 il- lustrations. It was distributed to the principal government research agencies as well as other research laboratories in the United States who are concerned with related re- search problems. The work at Union College was directed by Professor M. D. Hare, head of the department of physics. Other staff members who worked on the project were Mr. H. W. Besel and Mr. Mitchell A. Thiel. During the 35 months the work was in progress, 17 Union College students were employed at various times. These served as secretaries, technicians, machinists, and drafts- men. The project not only provided employment which enabled these students to earn part of their col- lege expenses; it also served as a source of interest and inspiration to all the Union College students in- terested in the physical sciences. When Professor Hare was asked just what the research work in- volved, he explained that the ob- ject of the program had been to Letters to the Editor DEAR EDITOR: Are you satisfied with the cour- tesy at U.C.A.? I'm not, and I think something should be clone. I think the students would become more courtesy-minded if the academy could have a part in the "Crowning of the Courtesy King and Queen." The academy might elcct their two most courteous students as the col- lege does. Then the winners might be attendants for the college king and queen at the coronation. How would the college feel about having us as their junior participants in the courtesy program at Union? A U.C.A. STUDENT (Editor: I personally think it is a wonderful idea and will see that your suggestion gets to the cour- tesy committee. It would be appro- priate if your candidates could be crowned prince and princess.) DEAR EDITOR: I heard a couple of the E.M.C. delegates really admiring our front yard. It's a good thing they saw it this fall instead of next spring when the grass will be rather scarce in certain spots. Can't something be done to keep these "unofficial" paths from out- numbering the cement ones? It doesn't take so very much more time to cut a square corner. A STUDENT devise a measurement method which would enable one to measure the speed of the electrons at any point within a high vacuum tube. He went on to explain that the mo- tion of an electron within any tube, operated at constant voltages, can be likened to the motion of a small steel ball rolling down a series of hills. At any instant the speed of the ball depends upon how far it has dropped below the starting level. Therefore, if one knows the height at any point on a hill, he also knows the speed the ball has at that point. This project resulted in the development of a thin wire- like probe which is capable of measuring the voltage at its tip.- In terms of the "balls and hills," this probe can be thrust into any action of the space within a vac- uum tube and used to measure the height of the voltage "hill" at its tip. Knowing this, one can then calcu- late the speed of the electrons at that point. It is expected that this work will be resumed in 1952 with a new con- tract. Mr. Adam K. Niebieszczanski, speaker ot chapel October 31 and November 1, dis- cussed the suppression of the masses be- hind the Iron Curtain. SPEECH DEPARTMENT The two classes in oral interpre- tation have been asked to plan a Friday evening vesper program for the M.V. Society in November and a Youth Fellowship meeting early in December. Anne Woods and Joseph Simpson have been named as chairman of the planning com- mittees. The radio studio is a busy place these days with all speech students coming in to have a recording made of their voices. The looks of in- credulity on some faces when they hear themselves for the first time as others hear them indicate that they may be realizing why they are assigned to practice speaking and reading into the wire and tape re- corders. Recipe for Success Plan more work than you can do: Then do it. Bite off more than you can chew: Then chew it. Hitch your wagon to a star: Keep your seat, And there you arel Be pretty if you can, witty if you must, but agreeable if it kills you. Mr. Truman's intent, at present, is apparently not to run again. His + intent is to step aside, instead, and leave the nomination wide open. Reasons why: Age is one. He'll be 68. He respects history and the two-term tradition for another. Party is a third. He knows that his • party will split wide open if he runs, and he's a strong party man. Family is the most important rea- son. Mrs. Truman wants him to f quit. The most Mr. Truman could expect in another term would be four years of frustration. Draft of Veterans! * Draft of veterans or fathers is unlikely to get congressional ap- proval. The draft will continue on a larger scale and Universal Mili- * tary Training may get final ap- proval in 1952. Armed forces of four million men are being planned, but another Korea or all- * out war with the U.S.S.R. would change all these plans. Tory England. What Now? Mr. Churchill and his Conserva- tive Party were successful in oust- ing the Laborites from control of the British government, but the question now is how much success will they have in solving the prob- lems left them by Attlee and his ministers. Few changes, other than the denationalization of steel, are expected on a domestic level, but many are hoped for on the interna- tional scene. Tory party majority is 18 seats. Big Three Meeting? President Truman has stated that he will not join Mr. Churchill —if Churchill proposes it—in new * talks with Joseph Stalin unless Sta- lin comes to Washington. To Faint or Not to Faint Mohammed Mossadegh, Iran's * premier, apparently does his faint- ing for dramatic effect. Doctors who have examined him during a faint have discovered his pulse, breathing, and heart action to be normal. Truce in Korea A truce, if arranged, may be no more than a trick. It would be an extremely uneasy truce at best. Egypt Egypt will be kept in check, and the Suez Canal will not be cut off, at least not for the present. How is this to be accomplished? The U.S. will gradually take a more definite hand in the Middle East. Russia will sit by to pick up the pieces when the problem gets too much for the British.
