A w tr Vol. XXXI UNION COLLEGE,LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, APRIL 25 No. 15 1958-59 ASB Officers Convene at Madison This week, April 23-26, the 1958-59 officers of the student association are meeting at Madi- son College in Tennessee for the annual student association work- shop. All of next year's officers and one of the 57-58 officers are attending the meetings. Previous ASB workshops have been held in the fall, but under a new plan, being put into effect this year, the officers are meet- ing in the spring. A staff of this year's officers, chosen one from each college, will meet with them. "The student association work- shop is to provide an opportunity for the student leaders from our schools to exchange ideas and compare programs," said present ASB president, Bud Siebenlist. There is a separate program for the editors of the publications and for the administrative offi- cers. The program for the work- shop is planned by the host col- lege. The officers are accompanied by Dr. Lowell W. Welch, the ASB sponsor.

UC GRAD WINS NEA TRAVEL FAIR AWARD Mrs. Evelina Aitken, class of '40, was recently named one of the winners of a second national award in the "Bold Journey Teacher Awards Program" at the NEA Travel Fair in New York City. She was one of 31 teachers in the nation chosen from 1500 fi- nalists because of her ability to "open a window on the world" for her pupils and her interest in the values of educational travel. Her award is a five-week tour of Europe this summer. Mrs. Aitken has taught in the Omaha school system for 13 years and is currently teaching the 5th and 6th grades at the Garfield school in South Omaha. Candy Dailey Norman Graham Welch Attends 3-Day Guidance Convention Dr. L. W. Welch, Dean of Stu- dent Affairs at Union College, at- tended the American Personnel and Guidance Association meet- ing held in St. Louis, Missouri. The meeting concerned guid- ance, counseling and personnel problems. One of the main points of discussion was the current orientation program in colleges and universities across the coun- try. A group representing Boston University Junior College de- scribed the program used there, which is generally approved by American colleges and universi- ties. The plan is similar to that used at Union College. One thousand guidance coun- selors and directors attended the three-day meeting. Signs Editor Maxwell Is Week-end Speaker Elder Arthur S. Maxwell, edi- tor of the Signs of the Times, and well-known author of children's books, was on the campus during the week end of April 12. He has recently attended a meeting in Chicago of a group of religious leaders who represent the pub- lishers of the major church pe- riodicals in the United States. "Uncle Arthur," as he is fondly known to children and adults alike, was the speaker for both services on Sabbath morning, April 12. He spoke of the events of our day as they fulfill Christ's prophecies pertaining to the time of the end. Our responsibility for soul winning was another point stressed by Elder Maxwell. The Signs of the Times is one of our most effective methods of evangelism. In its new form it is one of the most attractive pub- lications of our time. In closing, Elder Maxwell made the appeal for all present to sacrifice if nec- essary, in order that more may receive the "Signs" than ever before. LIVING ART, MUSIC IN 'HOLIDAY 1958' "Holiday 1958," a musical pro- duction of masterpieces of art portrayed in living figures in full costume, will be presented in the Union College auditorium at 8:30 p.m., May 3. The design of the program is living pictures portrayed by the students of Union College and a guest artist, following appro- priate scripts for the various masterpieces. Directed by Miss Eleanor At- tarian of the music staff, the art, music, and speech departments are working together to present this program. Some of the stu- dents are engaged in painting the backdrop pictures, while others are working on the light- ing systems. Approximately 50 students will appear in the pictures, wear- ing costumes designed like the originals in color and style. COMING! Union College Annual Alumni Home Coming May 1-3 Guest Speakers Special Activities Honor Classes 1908 and 1933 All Unionites and friends of the College are cordially invited. Otters Cavort For Elementary Benefit Emil E. Liers of Homer, Min- nesota, presented his film, "Ot- ters and the Otter Man," Satur- day night, April 19, in the Union College auditorium. Mr. Liers has the only otter sanctuary in the world, and is the only man who has ever do- mesticated and bred the otter, a beneficial animal that is rarely seen except by trappers. Sponsored by the Elementary Home and School Association, the film featured Mr. Lier's pet otters on his sanctuary near Ho- mer, Minnesota. His pets have unusual names such as Toquesh, Tarka, Plunky, Tara, and Teta- wish. The otters can retrieve ducks, fish, slide, and perform other stunts. According to Mr. Gerry Thompson, principal of the ele- mentary school, no definite proj- ect has been chosen yet for the proceeds although several have been considered. New Chemistry Equipment Will Aid in Research The Chemistry Department has purchased a new chromotog- raphy chamber and a chromotog- raphy cabinet to aid in a research project on proteins. Because of the similarity in the chemical and physical prop- erties of the various amino acids which compose proteins, they are very difficult to separate and identify. Their identification can be de- termined by a process called chromotography, which consists of placing some of the unknown protein material on a special pa- per and placing this in solvent solution. As the solvent moistens and raises up the paper, the vari- ous amino acids are carried to different heights because of their different weights and chemical properties. These positions can be identi- fied by comparing them with known samples which have been previously run. To perform these difficult sep- arations, it is necessary to care- fully control all the conditions during the chromotography. This new equipment designed for this purpose will greatly aid in the research project being conducted and will make it possible to reach the desired aims of the research. KU0N-IY FEATURES NEW NBC-ETRC SERIES A new group of educational TV series of interest to Union College faculty and students, produced by the National Broad- casting Company in cooperation with the Educational Television and Radio Center Show, is being seen on KUON-TV, Channel 12. Monday night's series, "De- cision For Research," at 9 p.m. uses a medical laboratory as the stage, and shows important re- search work in progress as the program seeks to point up the methods, aims, achievements and rewards of medical and biologi- cal research. Dr. Jerome Metz- ner, head of biology at the Bronx High School of Science in New York, hosts the series. Joseph C. Harsch, head of the NBC London News Bureau, is narrator of "Report from Amer- ica," Thursday nights at 9 p.m. Important but seldom depicted aspects of American life are the subject of this series. Originally filmed for the United States In- formation Agency, the programs are being shown for the first time in the U. S. over educational TV stations. House and Senate Ratify 1958-59 Editorial Staff for Clock Tower, Golden Cords L e n n a r t Colson, CLOCK TOWER sports columnist and part-time reporter on the Lin- coln STAR, was named to head the staff of next year's paper, and Verlene Potter will edit the 1959 GOLDEN CORDS. The two were elected in a meeting of the Senate Thursday night, April 17. Ratified on the same slate were ten other staff positions for next year's and this summer's publications. Procedures Formulated in First House Session The first meeting of the newly elected House of Representatives took place Wednesday, April 9. Speaker of the House and vice president of the ASB, Sam James, called the meeting to order and Betty Meier, acting secretary, called roll. Following roll call, the representatives voted to ask D. J. Bieber, presi- dent of Union College, and Bud Siebenlist, president of the ASB, to address the group. Each was escorted to the platform by two members of the House and were presented to the group by Sam James before their speeches. Two committees were organ- ized in the meeting. The first was one to help the Speaker of the House select the items on the agenda for meetings of the House and the other was a committee to work out the rules governing the meetings of the House of Representatives. Colson Potter Associate editor of the CLOCK TOWER will be Nancy McPhail with Maria Archuleta and Beth Wells named as assistant editors. Sarah Jane Anders will continue as editor for the summer CLOCK TOWER and Bob Co- way will fill the associate edi- tor's post with Sam Armstrong as assistant editor and Jack Hartley staying on as advertis- ing manager. Connie Wells will take over the associate editor's spot on the GOLDEN CORDS with Lewis Anderson as assistant editor. Lit- erary editor of the annual will be Anne Whitsett. Bus. Profs. Discuss Economics at Meet Mr. Robert Firth and Mr. Paul Joice, professors of business ad- ministration at Union College, attended the 22nd annual meet- ing of the Midwest Economics Association in Des Moines, Iowa, recently.

Union College Hosts UNDIAGNOSED kata by Sally Saturley Spring has finally arrived at Union College. You can always tell when it is springtime. How? The grass turns green for one thing. The trees bud and then leaf out in their fine dress of green. For another, here specifically, spring has officially arrived when we notice students sitting on the campus, enjoying each other's company along with the sunshine. Everyone it seems has a case of spring fever. Some are lucky, for they acquire only slight cases; others and, I find the majority in this category, have very acute cases. The symptoms are: You awaken in the morning, reveling in the glorious luxury of a beautiful spring morning. This should fill you with energy to "get with it" and get things done. It does for things like tennis, golf, sun-bathing, or just plain relaxing. The urge to study and work is completely gone. You have the "I don't care" attitude. Any one of these means you have it, but if you have all of them you have it bad! Perhaps with just five weeks of school left, we can put aside our "fever" for a time, put our nose to the grindstone, and wind this year up in fine fashion. Another sign of spring is the fact that the storm doors have been removed from the Ad building. The fellows are probably very well aware of this because they fell heir to the duty of opening them for us, the weaker sex. Many times, I'm sure, we acted as if we didn't appreciate this, but here and now we would like to thank all of you for being so courteous and thoughtful this past winter. Bonnie Smith is once again starring. This time it was 3:30 in the morning. She rose to study and since the lights are out at this unearthly hour, she made her way to the lobby. Opal Schnell, who was working on desk, was quite amused by her attire, especially the shoes. Seems as if there was one of one type and one of another. Of course, things like that do happen, and it was early in the morn- ing so perhaps we should excuse Bonnie on this one. As we all know, tennis is a fine sport. It provides for friendly competition and very good exercise. For Kathy Prentice it also provided for a near-black eye. Whether Kathy was looking at some- thing else or Jerry McManus was aiming at her eye, or a combina- tion of both is disputable. None the less, Kathy had a very red and watery eye for a few days. Just this word: If you are playing tennis with Jerry, I would advise you to keep both eyes on the ball in order to keep the ball off your eyes. MEET THE NEAT: Donna Wolfe is one of the most depend- able persons you can find here. She is a junior Home Economics major from Oklahoma. Strange things happen after lights are out. Maxine Reed, for instance, had a rather unique experience a short while ago. Seems as if after crawling into bed, she exclaimed, "Ouch!" with a good deal of emphasis. Her roommate, Donna Wolfe, who of course, was interested as to what would bring on such an outburst asked, "What's the difficulty?' Maxine's answer, "Oh, I just got stuck by a feather." Congratulations, Maxine, you lived through having been stuck by a feather. Most of you have read about our recent ASB election. Election turnouts were more than they have been previously, but still not what they should be. Our parting thought this week is along that line. "It would seem that more people vote for leading brands of toothpaste than for ASB elections." (This statement has, of course, been revised to fit the situation). SOUTHSIDE CLEANERS WM.

The following outline according to Dr. L. W. Welch in- dicates the action each student should consider before the close of the current school year. I. Any student of draft age who holds a I-S or II-S classification or who desires an educational de- ferment so that he may continue his studies, must: A. If called during the school year: 1. Be enrolled in a full-time scholastic program. 2. Be making satisfactory grades. 3. Have his college report his standing to his local board. 4. Submit his own request for the deferment to his local board. B. If called after the school year is completed but another not started yet, he must: 1. Have done satisfactory full- time work in his past school year or have satisfactory record from the college qualifications test (some lo- cal boards require both grade standing and test scores). 2. Be accepted in a college of his own choice. 3. Have the college of past at- tendance report his stand- ing to his local board. 4. Ask the college which has accepted him to report that acceptance to his local board. 5. Submit his own request for deferment to his local board. II. Any student of theology who wishes exemption from SSS draft must: A. If he does not now hold a IV-D classification: 1. Have his school request his conference president to ver- ify to his local board that he is preparing for the min- istry under the direction of his religious organization. 2. Have his school verify to his local board that he is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruc- tion in a recognized theo- logical or divinity school. 3. Submit his own request to his local board asking the IV-D classification. B. If he already holds a IV-D classification he must: 1. Report his continuing pro- gram to his local board. 2. Ask his school to verify his school program to his local board. On the Union College campus all SSS correspondence is handled by the Office of Stu- dent Affairs. Any student need- ing to clarify his procedure or establish his proper classifica- tion may apply for assistance at this office. L. W. Welch Senior Verle Bells Presented in Recital Another in a series of senior music recitals was presented, this time by Verle Betts on Sun- day, April 20, in the recital room of Engel Hall. Verle, a music education ma- jor, presented a series of vocal selections. First were rendered excerpts from Handel's oratorio, "Samson," followed by Haydn's "Creation." Next was a selec- tion of German lieder, and last came a series of contemporary selections. Charlotte Lehto was the piano accompanist. Following the recital, a recep- tion was held in the faculty room of the library. Little Jewels Jeffrey Jay, born to Mr. and Mrs. Marlyn Cline (Gerry Eng- strom), on March 30. Weight, 7 lbs.

This meeting of students is sponsored by the Statewide Com- mittee on Education and Recruit- ment For Social Work. The pur- pose of the convention today is to get college students ac- quainted with social work. Present are professional social workers from Omaha and Lin- coln who are here to give first- hand information to students interested in social work as a career. The body of the program for the entire day was the demon- stration skit and question and answer panel held at ten o'clock this morning. This afternoon's meetings will be various film presentations in Jorgensen Hall and discussion groups in both the annex and the science hall. Dif- ferent phases of social work such as case and group work will be discussed until three o'clock. Brian Wayne, born to Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Smith (Velma Hol- der), on March 26.

Suddenly a strange noise is heard. What is it? Just a group of musical instruments getting together for a little chat. Loren Prang's trombone—an in- strument of five years' good standing as a band member, started the conversation. "Well, well, it looks as if we have some new instruments here this year. Let's see, —a piccolo and well, what do we have here? This is something different, we haven't had anything that looked like this in a long time. "Don't you know what that is?" spoke up Laurell Peterson's clarinet, also a five-year band member. "Why, that is a bassoon and Maxine Reed plays it." "Maxine Reed plays a bassoon! I thought she played the piano, organ and accordion. You mean she plays a thing like that, too?" "She certainly does, and a good job she does of it, too. It's not an easy instrument to play. There's a double reed to blow through and you have to blow real hard to make a deep bass sound something like the bass clarinet." "Were you talking about me?" boomed out the bass clarinet. "Pardon me, I guess I just wasn't listening. You'll have to excuse me. I'm getting so old. I've been around Union for so long and so many students have used me in this band that sometimes I just think I can't make it for an- other year—but here I am." "We heard you were sick the other day," rang out a trumpet. "Yes, that's right," answered bass clarinet." My player, Don Duncan, takes real good care of me, but the other day somebody that didn't understand how I work took me out of my case to play with me and touched some vital spot. I felt really miserable for a day or two, but Dr. Don performed surgery and now I'm practically as good as new. I do hope that nobody else tries to play with me unless they understand me thoroughly." "I know what you mean," sang out the oboe. "I'm touchy, too, and what's worse is my reeds are so expensive. They're so easy to break and a little crack and you have to learn to use a new one." "Why are your reeds so ex- pensive?" asked a brave young clarinet. "I bet you just think they are. Clarinet reeds are just as expensive, now, aren't they?" "No, they really aren't, Mr. Clarinet," answered oboe. "My reeds are double, just like We on the Colorado campus really enjoyed having the band members with us recently. The concert was excellent too, not to mention the basketball game that followed. We are sorry that we gave you such a wet response—the rain, that is. Den- ver usually does have nice weather, really. President D. J. Bieber, Dean E. B. Ogden, Mr. Vernon Dunn, and Miss Alice Smith have been recent guests on our campus. It really seemed good to have our faculty members from the main campus here. We especially ap- preciated President Bieber's ob- servation of our second need on this campus. People in the news this week might include the following: Martha Robinson, a graduate of the Union College Department of Nursing, is our new instruc- tor in operating room nursing. The students now in the operat- ing room think she is tops. Pat Petersen had a very special vis- itor from Lincoln last week-end. Jannie Belz of the class of '57 was married in Boulder to Duane Kraft. Zerita Hagerman, '58, underwent surgery for appendi- citis last week. She has made a good recovery. Duane Bock- mann, his wife Melva, two-year- old Ricky, and a week-old baby boy, have left Denver. Duane finished his program at Union College and is embarking on post-graduate work in anesthe- sia. bassoon reeds and it is really difficult to play me but Jerry Gilbert is doing a very good job." "Talk about clever ones," piped up Althea Roderick's flute, "you should hear what happened to me. You remember back at the first of the school year when I just wouldn't play right? Well, do you know what was wrong? Althea had just put a dime in her flute case and I was greedy for money so I just swallowed the thing. It got stuck way up inside me and I just couldn't cough it up. Mr. Leno finally found it and fished around until it came out. I was glad to get rid of that thing. I'll never eat money again." "Dear me," squeaked the piccolo, "that was terrible! I hope I never do anything like that. I'd never even be able to make one little squeak if some- thing got caught in me. I'm so small anyway." "What is the matter with the saxophones?" zoomed out Jim Gilbert's trombone. "They usu- ally aren't this quiet." "You haven't given us a chance to get a word squeezed in edge- wise," sang out Jimmy Maxwell's sax. "We've just been sitting here trying to think what has happened to us that is so unusal. Can't think of a thing at the min- ute except all those squeaks, etc., that come when you don't want them to. We like it where we sit over here in front of the French horns but we certainly get tired of hearing them go um-pa-pa um-pa-pa all day long." "We have one of the largest bands we have ever had—40 members." spoke up Mr. Leno's baton, "and I heard the director say he is really proud of his band; it is doing so well and he is planning to take every mem- ber on tour." "That's great," said Jim Wil- mot's brand new clarinet, and Don Duncan's new clarinet chimed in, "maybe Mr. Leno doesn't know it, but his band members are just as proud of him." "What's that noise?" rang the cymbals. "Why, it's morning and it is the desk girl unlocking the music hall, we must have talked all night," answered the sur- prised instruments. So they all settled down to catch one last wink before they started to work again making music.

I'm sure that there will be no dishonest people in heaven. Maybe you don't tell a big lie or steal something big, but how different is it to "accidentally" see the right answer on your neighbor's paper or to tell a little "white lie?" How would you like to trust someone who cheats at the little things in life with something great? It's time to start thinking seriously about our character. Soon you'll be on your own in life and no one likes a dishonest person. B.A. Amateur Hour Ticket Drive Launched Early On Friday, April 11, the UCA Amateur Hour ticket drive be- gan in chapel. Vernon Usher, publicity manager for the ama- teur hour, began the campaign by calling the members of the ticket-selling committee to the platform. After the group consisting of John Klaren, Myrna Howe, and Becky Anderson came forward, Vernon announced to them that he had 800 tickets which must be sold before the Amateur Hour on April 26. He discussed with them the possibilities of where and by whom the tickets can be sold. Vernon then explained to the student body the part which they had in the ticket drive. He told them that if a student were to sell 12 tickets, he would receive one ticket free. He also stated that there would be a prize awarded to the student who sells the most tickets. "In order to make the amateur hour a success, we must all do our part in the ticket drive as well as in the rest of the plan- ning for the program," con- cluded Vernon in his closing re- marks.

Epitome The Home Furnishings class has been invited by Hardy's Fur- niture Store to participate in ar- ranging and decorating a num- ber of rooms in their store. These rooms are used by the store as models in proper combinations of furniture, textures, colors, and other decorative features. University of Nebraska and Wes- leyan College are also partici- pating in similar projects. The Golden Chords Chorale, under the direction of Dr. J. Wes- ley Rhodes, gave the eleventh and final concert of the season on April 19. This concert was presented in the College View Church. Elder Carl Sundin, associate secretary of the General Confer- ence, spoke to the combined group of ministerial and pre- medical students at Union Col- lege Wednesday, April 16. Elder Sundin is head of the placement board for CME gradu- ates and during his visit on the campus, he interviewed prospec- tive students for the medical col- lege. Reprint . . . If one of the traditions of "Old Union" is to get into a rut and remain there, let us break that tradition; and instead of being satisfied with mediocrity, let us make progress as we have in other areas this year. H. Lloyd Leno. Business Groups Tour Local Firms and Industries Thursday, March 27, approxi- mately sixty business and secre- tarial students took tours of sev- eral Lincoln city industries. The morning program consisted of guided tours through the Cush- man Motor Plant where they ob- served the making of parts in the machine shop, the assembling of motors and motor scooters and the molding of bodies in the foundry. At Miller and Paine's they were guided through the credit and customer accounting department, the machine ac- counting department, and the fur and candy factories. The afternoon group were taken on a complete tour of the National Bank of Commerce where they were guided through the large vaults and bookkeeping departments. The last place vis- ited was the headquarters of the "Back to the Bible" broadcast. The tour there included the large office setups, the broadcasting rooms and the largest I.B.M. and data - processing equipment in Lincoln. Campus Women's Club To Hear Guest Arlisl Presented as the guest speaker at the April meeting of the Campus Women's Club will be Mrs. Flossie Litzenberg of Lin- coln.

The end of the race is drawing down upon us with the old accustomed snow- boiling effect. At the end of the school year everything that has piled up and accumulated all year long suddenly hos priority on our time. Just a month left—only a month. At this writing, the student-center committee mentioned in a recent issue of the CT is ready to present a report to the newly formed House of Representives and have them find out the views of their constituencies as to whether or not a student-center is desired by the student body as a whole. The SWJC visitors and the academy seniors have come and gone now on their annual visitation weekend filled with tours through the college departments, informal visiting on the (thank- fully) sunny campus, and basketball. We were glad to have you, seniors, and we'll look forward to your staying with us next year for a nine-month visit. Incidentally, while the academy seniors were here, our boy, Homer Simpkins, came up with another invention. This young mechanical genius from Kansas put together a machine that would introduce him to girls (visiting seniors, of course) while he was safely hiding from as far away as thirty feet. Homer is very bashful. Golf season is upon us. At any odd hour of the morning or afternoon you might find Mike Simmons either practising his strokes or else putting his practice to the test on one of Lincoln's public coif links. Mike isn't the only one who loves to golf around old South Hall. Our foremost golfer is Dean Culver, closely followed by Bob Huffer, Dick Milholm, Alan Seltman, Joe Corrigan, and a host of others (even this writer plans to have been out this year by the time this is in your hands). The tennis courts will be busy for the rest of the spring and summer also. Lots of the fellows duel each other in a singles or doubles match on the "field of honor", the tennis court. Baseballs zip through the air (and through windows!) and pop into gloves (or into faces!), bats crack (as do onlookers' nerves as they duck an errant pitch!), and throughout the school a spirit zooms and soars that is lacking in the winter. Spring is here, grass is grow- ing, and everything is fine except for those who get out their summer clothes and find to their dismay that the winter has taken its toll in calories so that we have to sing those "Winter Waistline Blues." SPOT THE CLOD: We feel so "at peace with the world" today that we can't even think of any happenings or mannerisms worthy of comment in this section, so instead we'll say "Au Revoir".

Dear Miss Anders: Yesterday the CLOCK TOWER made its bi-weekly visit to Sing- apore. This issue that I now hold in my hand dated January 17 carried a little note, which said, "This is the first issue of the CLOCK TOWER that is being mailed to our new mailing list." I am so pleased that you have so kindly kept us on your mail- ing list for 1958. Ever since my arrival in Singapore nearly two years ago, I have been most hap- py to receive your school paper regularly. Even though I have never attended your fine school as a student, I do enjoy scanning the paper and observing the vari- ous activities of your school. There are a number of students from our school attending Union College. They write back most glowing reports of a very won- derful school. The CLOCK TOWER is also read by many others here in our Union Office. We appreciate your thoughtful- ness in sending us this compli- mentary copy. . . . If all goes well, I hope to be stopping off for a day in Union on my way to General Confer- ence. I would like to extend to you and your editorial staff my sincere congratulations for turn- ing out an excellent school paper. Most sincerely yours, H. Carl Currie President of the Union of Southeast Asia The College View By Bruce Powers This week I asked several peo- ple, "What do you think of the new ASB constitution?" Nathan Sims: "I think that the name Associated Student Body under the new constitution is in- adequate. We should include the faculty in the name also." Lennart Colson: The new stu- dent constitution is fine. We need to revise entirely the CLOCK TOWER organization and working program." BUI Edwards: "I think the greatest weakness in the new constitution is the idea of get- ting up petitions of 50 students for major offices. You will find lack of initiative in the student body for starting and supporting such petitions." Janice Schmierer: "I think the new constitution will be a shot in the arm, as it were, for our school spirit." Bonnie Smith: "It is up to us to make it work." Charlotte Lehto: "I think it is a step forward in student gov- ernment." Bruce Powers: "This constitu- tion is a base to work from. We can make it work, or make it a failure. Let us shake the lead from our boots and get this idea on the right road."

Who is this character always referred to as George in the oft- quoted little phrase, "Let George Do It"? It seems as though George, whoever it is, always gets stuck with doing things that no one else wants to do. Often times though, George has his name changed, whether it is legally done or not I do not know, to John or Marcia, or some other fictitious type name for the benefit of you martyrs in the readers' section. But I am sure that all of us at one time or other have endeavored to pass the proverbial "Buck" to some- one else. It is the thought of this writer that those who are giving George their responsibilities now while students at Union College, are forming dangerous habits. Responsibility is one thing that a person never ceases to have and, if anything, it becomes greater with the age of the individual. I don't know whether any one has ever thought of a mathematical expression as to the proportion between responsibility and the age of an individual, and it is rather unlikely that anyone ever will. But nevertheless, if we as students don't learn how to take on our share of responsibility in the activities of our school, what are we going to do when we reach the threshold of life, once our college days are over? From this viewpoint it would seem that George, or whatever the name is, might be getting a little bit tired of carrying our responsi- bilities, small as they seem to us at times. Let us during the re- mainder of this school year and in the years to come, do our part when our help is solicited. After all we are all small cogs, as it were, in a big machine. This machine might run for a while with a few broken cogs, but eventually these broken cogs are going to foul up the rest of the mechanism and bring the machine to a stop. So instead of having George do it, let's each give George a well- deserved rest. Any names used of persons either living or dead is purely co- incidental. L.H. Jf Have you had the yen lately to ride a unicycle? I have come across the formula. First you take one unicycle, yourself and two walls of a boys' dorm hall- way. Put these together with countless trips up and down the hall, "hanging on for dear life." These instructions are thru the courtesy of Ted Wick, my latest victim of Interviews. As you know, Ted has been elected ASB president for the coming year. This isn't a com- pletely new field, for Ted held this office when attending Cam- pion Academy. (It might inter- est many of you to know that Ted's older brother was also president of the Student Associ- ation during his last year at Union. He is now a missionary in Thailand.) Ted completed his college pre- paratory course at Campion Academy in 1955. He is a Colo- rado boy, hometown being Love- land. His wife, the former Pat Ehrhardt, is also a Coloradan, coming from Greeley. Since coming to Union College, Ted has been kept very busy. He was vice president of the Temperance Society for two years, treasurer of his Freshman Class, sergeant-at-arms in his sophomore year, and is now pas- tor of the Junior Class. ^ fi £ Anyone For Water Polo? The stresses and strains of the players' faces show the seriousness of the action as the local water poloists mix it up. These are the only two teams organized but pool director, Bud Pollard, hopes more fellows will want to organize squads. Oh, by the way, if you can tell who the players are in this picture- tell us. We're confused. Anyone wishing to par- ticipate in intramural tour- naments in softball, golf or tennis should sign registra- tion cards for these sports at the gym. The final days to register are: tennis, Apr. 25; softball, Apr. 25 and golf, May 2. When he became a dignified upper classman (and perhaps ap- preciating the economics of mar- ried life), Ted laid aside the uni- cycle in favor of a more profit- able hobby, that of woodwork- ing. Tangible evidence of his new skill has emerged in the form of a chest of drawers and a cedar-lined cabinet which now grace his home. Upon his completion of the Theology course at Union, Ted plans to study at the Theological Seminary in Washington D.C. This purposeful young man has radio evangelism as his goal. If ability and the will to work are put to as much use in the future as in the past, we have no doubts that we'll be hearing Ted Wick's voicc over the radio waves in the not-too-distant fu- ture. Phillet ...fy JreitaA It was an ordinary sort of fire. The shrill voice of the sirens lent an appropriately high-ten- sion air to the cool April even- ing. Curious onlookers felt the tingling pleasure of excitement as they watched bright flames race through the interior of the small frame house. Yes, it was an ordinary sort of fire. But the circumstances sur- rounding the fire were quite out of the ordinary. In Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 12 in the evening, a Negro man and his family of 4 were burned out of their home in an all-white neighborhood. It was clearly a case of arson. That's right—"in Lincoln, Ne- braska," a town named after the man whose greatest single achievement may well have been the liberation of Negro slaves in 1863. The incident began in January when Sherman Brown, a Negro construction foreman, and his wife and 3 children moved into the all-white neighborhood in Havelock, a northeastern suburb of Lincoln. A protest meeting was held by 27 Lincoln property owners who complained about "living with Negroes" and "loss of property values." However, the Negro family re- mained in their rented home un- der the continued harassment of indecent phone calls, threats, and minor incidents. The week be- fore the fire Mrs. Brown and her children went to Louisiana for an extended visit because she "could not let the children go into the yard without worrying about them." Mr. Brown was away for the evening when the arsonists ap- parently entered the home and started the fire with kerosene. The interior of the home was completely gutted, and all of the family's personal effects were lost in the fire. Such an extreme incident of racial prejudice seems strange in a quiet, northern town like Lin- coln. As one of the investigators of the case said, "Things like this don't happen in Lincoln, but it did." This week Lincoln residents are showing their shame and em- barrassment by offering gifts of money, clothing, furniture, and a place to live to the Browns. The Lincoln Council of Churches is handling these offers and is planning a program of providing other homeless Negroes with an acceptable place to live. Perhaps you who are away from the campus are wondering what the feeling is toward Ne- groes at Union College. As seen by Philler, there is no racial problem whatsoever at Union. There are approximately 25 Ne- groes enrolled at Union with as many Mexicans and Orientals. As befitting a Christian college, we all seem to be living together satisfactorily. Granted, there may be a feel- ing of prejudice in a few stu- dents, and these few on occasion may voice their feelings. These few are, however, a very small minority. With God's presence at our col- lege a feeling of goodwill to our fellow men will always be the rule. These Faces in the Crowd: Kathy Prentice, the editor of the GOLDEN CORDS yearbook, is one fine girl. She will be taking her place next year as book- keeper of White Memorial Clinic in Los Angeles. Watch for the product of her many hours of hard work in a few days. Whew! Talk about your close basketball games. The college freshmen stag- gered through 30 minutes of or- ganized confusion before coming to life in the last 10 minutes to edge a visiting academy senior all-star team, 50-49. Also playing the role of un- gracious hosts were the local southwesterners as they whipped Southwestern Junior College. Shortly after the game someone walked off with the scorebook so we are unable to bring you the final score. With these seniors holding a 42-34 advantage the frosh made their bid with 10 minutes re- maining. A full-court press caught the visitors off guard and helped the local crew knot the score at 49 all with 2 minutes re- maining. Free throws at this point de- cided the contest. The frosh dropped a charity toss to move ahead by one. And then with 14 seconds left the seniors re- ceived a one and one free throw opportunity. However, the first shot went astray and the frosh controlled the ball the remaining seconds.
