utjtet Vol. XXXI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 22, 1957 No. 5 Sub Campaign Drive Ladies Lead Nearly 3000 Letters Launch Short Campaign by Lennart Colson CT Staff Writer The ladies of North Hall piled up an early lead and then man- aged to stave off a late South Hall rally to win the annual CLOCK TOWER Writing Campaign with a total of 1,650 letters written. Floundering far behind were the men of South Hall with 1,200. In CT Sub Letters Dr. Brown Receives Project Recognition In Chemistry Annual Four Unionites Hurt In Automobile Crash Four Union College students ;ere injured, two seriously, .vhen the car in which they were riding left the highway and struck a telephone pole near Huron, South Dakota, Friday morning, November 8. The stu- dents, and a fifth passenger, are all from South Dakota. Most seriously injured was Lowell Chamberlin who sus- tained a compound fracture of the thigh and facial cuts. Caro- lyn Stotz suffered a broken hand and minor bruises. Ivan Stotz, Carolyn's cousin and owner of the car, received a sprained neck. Dennis Binder and Gwen Adams, the other passengers, received minor cuts and bruises. The accident occured when Chamberlin, who was driving, fell asleep and the car rolled down a 12-foot embankment. It was totally demolished. Gwen, a freshman nursing student at Union, gave first aid to the others while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. She was the only one able to get out of the wreckage. Instrumental Group Boosts Union at Maplewood Two complete instrumental ensembles will make a promo- tion trip to Maplewood Academy in Minnesota this weekend, with Elder Arthur Hauck as speaker and program narrator, and H. Lloyd Leno as director. The music-vesper service will be given on Friday evening and the secular concert Saturday -vening. Even though the group essentially two separate en- mbles, various combinations of instruments are being used. So- loists will be Bob Bockmann, piano; Elwyn Rexinger, French horn; Don Duncan, clarinet; Dick Hammond, cornet; and Orlo Gil- bert, violin. Accompanist for the solos will be Bob Bockmann. In the first three days of the campaign, which began November 8, the women built up a resounding 850 to 200 lead, with one of them contributing 200 letters alone. With defeat staring them in the face, the men hastily drew up a printed form letter. This enabled them to merely sign the names at the bottom of the letter and send it out. But this measure was not enough to overtake the women's lead. With the letter writing now completed, both residents of' North and South Hall are anx- iously awaiting for the subscrip- tions to pour in. A first prize of $30 will be given to the per- son who receives the largest number of subscriptions, with a minimum of 15. Prizes of $20 and $10 will be given to the second and third place winners. In addi- tion all persons receiving at least two subs will be ad- mitted to the CLOCK TOWER benefit December 7, featuring the film, "The Liv- ing Desert." The campaign was a complete success according to CLOCK TOWER circulation manager, Dick Milholm. "In view of the fact," Milholm pointed out, "that the campaign was held during mid - semester exam week the student body is to be congratu- lated for a wonderful job under adverse conditions." Mrs. Cox Heads Auxiliary The first meeting of the Min- isterial Auxiliary Association was held at the home of Mrs. L. W. Welch recently. The president, Mrs. Kenneth Cox, welcomed the members and in- troduced the officers: vice pres- ident, Mrs. Valerie Gearhart; so- cial secretary, Mrs. Pat Wick; treasurer, Mrs. June Heath; sec- retary, Mrs. Mina Dishman; proj- ect secretary, Mrs. Verlene Pot- ter. Guy and Monique Fallot, French brother-sister musical team, enjoy a bit of their favorite language at a reception following their piano-violoncello concert in the auditorium Saturday evening, November 16.

'Stone Walls Do Not A Prison Make Nor Cars a Means Of Escape They say they're requiring convicts at the State Pen to read the student handbook! At any rate, someone should have told No. 5864370 that page 23, paragraph 3 of The Inside Story places marked restrictions on the use of student motor ve- hicles. As it was, not even this slip- pery customer, who took a "Leave of Absence" from an- other institution due west of South Hall, was able to success- fully infringe on the regulations. It seems this fugitive from justice forgot to get Dean's per- mission when he borrowed Dick Jewett's car one recent Friday night. He also forgot to look at the fuel gauge. Four hours after he perceived that something was amiss, Dick dragged sleepily to the phone to be told that his car had been found two miles away — sans convict, sans a leather jacket, sans gas! Dick says he had never let his gas get that low before. And the convict? Oh, he was apprehended shortly afterwards in Iowa—beside a stalled car. VACATIONS CHANGED Thanksgiving vacation was by-passed and a shorter spring vacation voted in favor of an extended Christmas holiday, President Bieber announced in convocation November 15. This followed a preference vote by the students indicating the choice of the majority. Christmas vacation will be December 19 to January 5. Religion Major Ends Meetings at York Kenneth Cox, a senior religion major, is concluding evangelistic meetings held for the past three weeks in York, Nebraska. Assist- ing him are Jackie Schimke and Merilyn Wheeler. Jackie, also a senior religion major, was song leader and music co-ordinator, Merilyn is a senior music major and was pianist at the meetings. Kenneth's opening sermon, November 3, was entitled "Five Minutes to Midnight." His con- cluding sermon, "The Question God Cannot Answer", will be given Sunday, November 24. 1957-58 Who's Who' Lists 10 UC Seniors Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges for 1957-58 will include the names of ten Union College seniors this year. These persons were chosen by the faculty and students. Qualifications for eligibility in- cluded character, leadership, scholarship, and potentials of fu- ture use to business and society. The ten seniors are Robert Beck, George Carlson, Lola Cleveland, James Gilbert, Zerita Hagerman, Elmer Lampson, Charlotte Lehto, Rolando Pein- ado, Laurell Peterson, and Al- freda Wallen. Pictures and sketches appear on page 2 of this issue. News Flash MY Society Provides Variety of Activities At Union College there are many MV activities in which the students can participate on Sab- bath afternoons. There are sun- shine bands, literature bands and many others. A representative one is Ella Olderbak's story hour. She and her assistants go to the Welfare Center on O street every Sab- bath and hold a story hour for the Indian children. The average attendance is about eighteen children. These children are interested in coming because after a certain number of weeks of perfect attendance record, they will receive prizes. Some of the activities con- ducted for the children are learn- ing the books of the Bible. When they have completed this, a Bible will be awarded them. The older children have been working on scrapbooks for the Orthopedic Hospital. Bible Workbooks have been purchased to help the chil- dren learn more of God's love. Tonight an offering of canned food and money will be taken for the Thanksgiving baskets, an an- nual project of the MV society. Dr. Brown, head of the Chem- istry department, has demonstra- ted the fact that Union College will not linger in the field of science. The biochemistry re- search project mentioned in the August 2, 1957, issue of the Clock Tower has netted results! The Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Volume 70, No. 1, July, 1957, recorded the re- sults of research work done by Dr. D. K. Brown, Union College, and W. Militzer & C. E. Georgi, College of Arts and Sciences, Lincoln. To the layman, the title "The Effect of Growth Tempera- ture on the Heat Stability of a Bacteriological Pyrophosphat- ase" may be a jawbreaker, but to the scientist, it is another re- corded fact waiting for use in science. So let us relax our jaw mus- cles to say, "Congratulations, Dr. Brown! We're confident that un- der your able leadership many of the students of Union College will rise high in scientific achievement." Master Guides Organize The Master Guide work for '57-'58 has become intensified in a two phase program with stu- dents working both toward be- ing invested as Junior Youth Leaders and as Senior Youth Leaders. The Master Guide class schedule includes a varying number of classes in the follow- ing sequence: Christian Story- Telling taught by Miss Iris Don- aly, Standard First Aid by John Ridpath, Star Study by Mr. Milo Anderson, Pathfinder Counselor class taught by Mrs. Neville George, and denominational history to be offered by Dr. Russell Nelson. Don Hensel, the Master Guide leader, assisted by the MV Edu- cational secretary, Helton Fish- er, outlined the year's activities in a Vesper program presented (continued on p. 2, col. 4) Jim Hagerman, senior religion major, was awarded a $300 ca- reer scholarship by Elder C. L. Paddock, Jr., of the Pacific Press Publishing Association in convo- cation today. Mr. Hagerman has spent about five summers canvassing, one as the summer as- sistant publish- t ing secretary in Colorado. Both he and his wife are "looking for- ward to the pub- lishing work." ^^ At present they f have entered in- to negotiation with the Colorado Conference. Immediately after graduation they will move to Colorado. The scholarship is one of four given annually by Pacific Press to students preparing for leader- ship in the publishing work. Cri- teria on which the awards are based are: the student must be looking forward to a career in a Book and Bible House, publish- ing house, as a publishing de- partment leader, or a literature evangelist. He must have can- vassed two summers and be working toward a B.A. degree. The students are chosen by a committee of the Pacific Press. Hagerman Awarded Pacific Press Career Scholarship Today by Caesar Nowalkowski y CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 22, 1957 fatter* faata by Sally Saturley Ten Named for Collegiate 'Who's Who' Mr. Kelley, we noticed the failure on your part to 'Spot the Clod' in your new feature last issue. Just this one question—Does the picture at the top of the column have anything to do with the clod? A sign was noted at one end of the new road. It reads: No Pass After Wed." I'm sure that this could be taken in two ways. As Christmas vacation draws nearer, I notice that most of us are counting the days. According to my carefully marked calendar there are twenty-seven more days. One of the unique ways of count- ing was called to my attention the other day. It was discovered by Donna Wolfe and Maxine Reed. As you walk into their room, you may note a long string of safety pins draped over the mirror. There is a pin on that string for every day left until vacation begins. Each doy one is removed. How's that for keeping track? Scamp Puddles Rastus is a pup, a little black and white 'Heinz 57 varieties' pup who is residing at the home of Miss Helen Gates. Co-owners Carolyn Smith, LaDonna Milholm and yours truly are all pleased with the way he is growing. You see he gets a diet of Vega- grow-pup dog food. We are quite sure that by feeding him in this healthy way, he will someday become a champion. And now for a bit of my own poetry composed especially for this column. This on the past weeks' activities: Our letters are written, Our hands we find smitten. We're all over the flu, And hurrah! Tests are thru. Kappa Theta had the program of programs for worship No- vember 7. Each wing of the dorm had a portion of the program. One of the outstanding parts was North Third when Julie Phillips gave her rendition of a little girl giving her first reading. The pro- gram was hilariously entertaining. Parting remark for this week: Relatively speaking: Blood's thicker than water. But then that's true of sarsaparilla, ink and glue. Ministerial Ass'n Hears Central Union President "The Adventist cause is being hindered because of lack of well- educated young workers," Elder Theodore Carcich, president of the Central Union told the Union College Ministerial Asso- ciation on Wednesday, Novem- ber 6, as the Association met un- der the chairmanship of vice- president David Sharpe. Elder Carcich discussed current needs and opportunities with the min- isterial students and pointed out that the best days were still ahead for the Adventist preach- er; the Adventist ministry is not drying up, but is facing wide opportunities within the Central Union. In response to questions, the speaker pointed out the need for an intense spiritual life among Adventist students, not the least among those looking (Continued next column) CH AT-N-NIBBLE The following individuals are entitled to 1 free malt by bringing this ad with them.

Once a year our whole school talks, thinks, hears, and buys annuals. But this year, I am proud to say, we have been pushing and planning for our own annual. We have all voted for it and started it along the road to success. There is a big responsibility ahead of us, but I hope we will stick to it and put the campaign over with a bang. We should all help in every way we can. Let's show everyone that the Academy of Union College can put over a pro- gram. Get behind our annual and push! Above all, don't let it die down. Now that we've got something started to be proud of, keep it going so that we will be proud. Let's prove that UCA students are not "mentally and physically lazy." Elder Wurlz Conducts Fall Week of Prayer by Donna Adams Elder R. G. Wurtz from Scotts- bluff district was the speaker for the Academy Week of Prayer. The Week of Prayer given dur- ing the last two weeks of Oc- tober was a time when many were drawn closer to God. School was closed October 23 be- cause of the flu. When school reopened on October 28, we con- tinued the Week of Prayer. Elder Wurtz spoke in chapel, evening meetings, and held church services for the Academy. During one of the chapel periods a recording was played. After chapel the students gathered for prayer bands. Two students from each class acted as prayer band leaders. From the Senior Class, Joanne Carcich and Delbert Con- rad; Junior Class, Carlene Fank- houser and Larry Rausten; Soph- omore Class, Borden Scott and John Deming; Janet Wasemiller and Donna Adams for the Fresh- man Class. The evening meetings held from 7:30 to 8:00 were interest- ing. A few songs were sung and the topic was given. Thursday night the meeting was held around a campfire. Elder Wurtz presented the topics for the church services. The church service of November 2 climaxed the Week of Prayer. We would like to thank Elder Wurtz for the time and effort he put forth to make our meetings successful. UCA Student Ass'n Banquet Slated for November 25 On Tuesday, November 5, the UCA Student association held chapel period. Richard Griffitts, ASA president, started to make an announcement but was inter- rupted by Joanne Allen, Larry Rausten, and Ann Hilde. Richard was so upset that all he could say was, "What! Where! When!" Well, actually, that was all he needed to say. Larry supplied the What — The UCA Student Association banquet; Joanne the Where — at the college cafe- teria ; and Ann the When — November 25. The program committee, head- ed by Joanne Allen, has been busy preparing a program for the evening. The menu is the responsibility of the food committee, headed by Ann Hilde. The decorations committee will use Thanksgiving as the theme of the banquet. As you enter the banquet room, dimmed with candlelight, the first thing to see is the tall shock of grain surrounded by pumpkins. On the officers' table there will be a large cornucopia with candles set in miniature shocks of grain. The smaller tables will have small cornucopia and candles set in grain shocks. Nut cups and place cards are other items which will appear on the table. Flu Hits Academy Classes Sixty-five percent of the stu- dent body were absent from classes at Union College Acad- emy in October because of the flu. The Week of Prayer was being held at that time. School was closed Wednesday and reopened the following Monday. Week of Prayer was also continued the following week. By the beginning of the fol- lowing week very few were still absent from classes. The flu was described as the Asian variety. UCA Scientists Organize On November 11, at 2:45 p.m. in room 409 in the administra- tion building, a group of Union College Academy students met to form a science club. The meet- ing was under the direction of Mr. Hartley Berlin and Vernon Usher. Vernon Usher stated that one of the first projects the club would have would be to choose a team with Geiger counters to de- tect radiation during a Civil De- fense disaster. Field trips were also discussed as well as indi- vidual science projects. The dif- ferent fields of science studied by the club are physics, chemistry, geology, mathematics, astron- omy, and electronics. EVE FADDIS BEAUTY SHOPPE HAIRCUTTING, RESTYLING PERMANENT WAVE 4732 Prescott CLUBLICITY Clubs met for the second time during the first week of Novem- ber. All clubs except one, the Megacycle Club, met on Wednes- day, November 6. This club had its meeting on Saturday night, November 9, at which time the members went to a Hi-Fi con- vention in Lincoln. Moving pictures dominated the club activities on Wednesday, November 6. The Nursing Club saw a film on Cancer. The Teach- ers of Tomorrow saw two films. One was on American flamingos. The other was on the life of an American teacher. The Pre- Med- Club saw a film depicting a doc- tor faced with a decision as to what field of medicine to enter and also the events leading to his final choice. The Home Economics Club played a game — Food for Thought—in which phrases con- taining the names of some foods are given. The Home Ec. club members who are new this year had certain secrets revealed about their lives. Refreshments were served to close the meet- ing. The Business Club took care of club business and laid plans for their banquet and their busi- ness trip. Besides this meeting, the business club had supper in the Green Room of the cafeteria on the evening of November 5. For the club meeting of the pre-medical and pre-dental stu- dents on November 6, a film was shown featuring a medical stu- dent struggling through his training period. Entitled "Jour- ney Through Medicine", the film portrayed the heartaches, thrills and work a young man or woman undergoes to serve his friends, community and country. The officers for Mu Epsilon Delta are as follows: LeRoy Moore, senior, president; Carroll Knauss, junior, vice-president; Darrell Lang, junior, treasurer; Anne Whitsett, junior, secre- tary; Dick Milholm, junior, pub- licity manager; Jess Simmons, junior pastor; and Dr. Douglas Brown, sponsor. Any club news that the clubs wish to be placed in the Clock Tower must be turned in at the Clock Tower office by Friday noon following club meetings. CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 22, 1957 Elder Scully Urges Temperance Alertness Elder J. V. Scully, director of Youth Activities of the American Temperance Society of the Gen- eral Conference, was the guest speaker at the academy chapel program November 4. He was introduced by Elder C. G. Cross of the Central Union Conference. Elder Scully made some open- ing remarks on temperance. He then showed us the organs of man under "black light". A film from the World Health Organi- zation, directed and produced by Phillip Stapp, was shown. It was announced during the program that Union College Academy was the first academy in the Central Union Conference to reach one hundred per cent membership in the Temperance Society. After the program, the acad- emy students were asked to as- semble on the stage of the chap- el for a picture for the Chapter Exchange. MOHR'S I.G.A.

SPOT THE CLOD . . . who takes, steam showers, especially during hours of heavy traffic in the baths of South Hall. Some folks ought to take a little thought about the rights of others. There are places you can go (to take steam showers). As this column goes to press, plans call for the Sigma lota Kappa banquet to be postponed until second semester, possibly around St. Valentine's Day. Reason? The difficulties of arranging a time with the cafeteria for the annual event. Until now, you may not have known whose Volkswagen bus sits behind South Hall, but here is your opportunity to get in the know . . . Jerry Thayer, that's whose it is. Jerry's dad (name of Mr. Thayer) picked it up in Germany this summer for about $600 less than you would pay for the same bus in the states. Shipping costs ran around $200-300, leaving a neat saving of around $300. They also got a regular Volkswagen car while they were in Germany, but Jerry got away with the bus, which seats from nine to twelve, so that he could haul great quantities of students back and forth from home. The campus crews are still working on Lake Turner, which is a dry lake as of this writing, to keep the water from collecting as it has in the past. It is being landscaped with trees around the edges, and the two circular flower beds in the center of the plot are being given a workout, too. Ben Steiner about got his finger chomped off by weights a few weeks ago. He was lifting weights, and 135 pounds of the afore- mentioned weights got arranged on top of his left forefinger. This finger of his sort of positioned itself between the weights and the floor. Ouch!

As desirable as these things may be, I would like to con- sider a wider and deeper application of the term as it applies on our campus and others like it. Of course, we have no interscholastic competition, so the cheerleading is not a major manifestation of this thing we are con- sidering. We can hardly cheer our superb choral and musical or- ganizations. Just how do the students manifest "school spirit"? Per- haps a newcomer to the campus can look at this subject with an eye unbiased enough so that his observations might be relevant. To this observer, the "school spirit" in Union College this year is superb! These are the criteria upon which I base this favorable judgment: the wonderful RESPONSE on Missions Promotion day; the FRIENDLINESS on the campus which is most noticeable to every visitor (including some denominational leaders who remark about it when visiting other places); the HELPFULNESS manifested by those not sick during the recent flu scourge—getting assignments, notes, etc. to the men and ladies down with the virus; the HEALTHY TONE of the conversations one hears on campus; the CO-OPERATIVE SPIRIT manifested by the overwhelming majority of students toward the school program; the thrilling and spontaneous TESTIMONIES one could hear during our recent Week of Prayer; the thriving MV, SS, and ATS groups on campus, not to mention the Colporteur club and other organizations; and to try to put it all in one phrase—the general "lift" one feels when he steps on this campus. None of the above is to be construed to indicate that no im- provements are necessary. However, for a change, perhaps it is per- missible to "count our blessings" and thank the giver of every good and perfect gift for the opportunity of being connected with the greatest enterprise in the Universe—Christian Education. S. Allen CUisl yjDJLL Ci Satellite ? During these crucial days of anxiety and fear, we see prophecy continually being fulfilled before our eyes. Major countries intimi- date one another with such horrors as rockets, intercontinental mis- siles, and various types of bombs. Minor countries look on with con- fusion and fear, not knowing what their fate will be. Others remain supposedly neutral and aloof, assuming an "I'm-not-in-this-mess" attitude; yet each knows that should a world-wide conflict erupt, it would have to cast its vote for one side or the other. Now civilization is stunned by the knowledge that man is cap- able of putting an artificial moon in the heavens. What are the potentialities of this, man's latest brainchild? The world does not fully know yet, but appalling thoughts have arisen. As we know, sputnik revolves around the earth at the rate of 18,000 miles per hour. We also know that the reason for its staying up there in an orbit is that it has just enough speed to coun- teract the gravitational pull of the earth. A lesser speed would have sent it hurtling back toward earth's atmosphere. I couldn't help thinking how many of us are like sputnik. We are constantly admonished by our spiritual advisers to be a part of Christ, to emulate Him, to represent Him before men. Instead, we are satisfied to revolve around Him, to maintain an orbit that will allow us ample opportunity to dip intermittently into the enticing spheres of sin which the devil constantly places within easy reach. We keep our religious speed at a pace that is fast enough to prevent people from saying that our spiritual experience isn't at the right pitch. Then, keeping Christ in view, we feel that as long as we go to church, read our Bibles once a week, and pray aloud in public places, we are fulfilling our duty. Never was anything so wrong. Jesus strongly abhors a lukewarm condition (Revelation 3:16). Would it not be far better to decide whether to shoot off into the vast spaces of temptation, or come back to solid earth where Christ can help us? He wants us to come to Him. If we continue to revolve, our orbit will eventually widen until the devil has us in his snares. As we go about from day to day, let us remind ourselves that a neutral orbit isn't the safest tactic for winning our daily battles. It will gain us nothing. Jesus Himself asks us, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul'" —F.C.H.

Feature Focus Professor Favors Variety by Loron Wade In a small college in the South, a Greek and Hebrew teacher was transferred in the middle of the year to the English department. His class in Rhetoric was study- ing about a certain work which the textbook said was "well-an- notated." Dutifully all the stu- dents took note, "The book is well-annotated." None of them could miss that. At examination time they were all primed and ready for the question. Then it came, "What does 'annotated' mean?" No one knew. When they again studied their lessons, they were looking for a deeper meaning in the lessons. For over 35 years since then, Dr. Harry G. Reinmuth has been abandoning the ordinary, and surprising students by making them think. "Language study is more than learning the words," he says. "I don't just assign a page and then ask Willy, 'What's that?' There may be something in connection with it that's worth-while, too. Parrot-like learning doesn't mean a thing. I like to show a student new ideas and their relation to his life and problems." Dr. Reinmuth's teaching is based on a widely-varied back- ground of experiences. In the summer of 1934 when the Allied powers were casting questioning eyes at a new German dictator called Hitler, he was attending the University of Berlin. "One thing just initiated that all the students were talking about," he recalls, "was Hitler's requiring each student to work a certain number of hours a day to teach him the dignity of labor." By 1937 when he received his PhD. in Germanic Philology from Northwestern University, Dr. Reinmuth could display four other college degrees including a Conservatory Certificate in piano. At different times, he has taught Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, French and English and has been dean of men at three of our colleges. From Walla Walla College he came to Union in 1937 as head of the Department of Modern and Biblical Languages. In 1946-47 he was granted a leave of ab- sence to become Senior Special- ist in Higher Education for the military government in Ger- many. His group was in charge of the 22 universities within the American zone and at the time was concerned chiefly with "de- nazification" of these schools. Dr. Reinmuth maintains a brisk interest in a wide range of subjects. For relaxation he en- joys playing the piano and organ. He is an expert skater and often joins the students during skating periods in the gymnasium. ^tsidHoA, Clock Tower Editor: As I listen to the steady drone of the clock tower bell, each sounding ring brings a tear to my eye. The soft cooing of the pigeons outside of my window are of no consolation. The rolling Nebraska hills, once picturesque, are now distasteful to my eye. The reason? We're being neg- lected. I mean, of course, the residents of the Castle, who, al- though they support your noble sheet, have no noble voice with which to express their noble sentiments (rather a noble state- ment, don't you think?) I grant the Divers Data column, aptly written by Bob Kelly, should be our means of communication; however, if you will read some of the back issues of the CLOCK TOWER, you will find very few, if any, names of Castlelites ap- pearing. We realize that Mr. Kelley can't run all over the campus to gather news. Therefore, not wanting to be forgotten and slowly drift into obscurity, I have, on behalf of my fellow Castlelites, taken on the role of Castle Crusader. I will, if the gross injustice I mentioned con- tinues, keep on sending nasty let- ters, informing you of the news of the Castle. CASTLE WEEKLY OPINION POLL: If Marshall Zukov does- n't get the nod first, we of the Castle believe that the next space traveler will be a parrot. Parrots would enable us to find out what it's really like to whirl around the earth in a satellite. I can hear the first words trans- mitted back to earth, "Send more crackers." Campus Turnpike' Progress Viewed by Sam James ASB Vice-president In the last few weeks we have heard the familiar sound of the bulldozers at work on our new road behind the administration building. At times their noise was annoying, but the students are all glad to see the progress that has been made. The stu- dents on the campus and those in the community are looking forward to the completion date as this will not only add beauty to the campus but will also pro- vide parking facilities for ap- proximately two hundred cars. Various methods have been used to raise the student and staff quota of $5,000.00 for this project. Many have written let- ters, others have given of their time to soliciting the church members, and some have given from their own funds. The ASB officers appreciate the coopera- tion that has been given them by students and faculty in put- ting this program across. As re- ported November 8, in convoca- tion, of the $5,000.00 the students and staff are raising, $3,192.00 has been received in cash or pledges. At the present time the ASB is planning various other ways to obtain the money yet needed to complete our cam- paign. One last word, editor. This letter may be thrown aside but let me remind you, Big Brother is watching you lest you forget the men in the Castle. The Castle Crusader Philter ...£>) "Jreitai News flash: West Germany arms for all-out war with the U. S. In a recent communication from Frank Everiot, one of rrp readers who is a history major, i was revealed that West Germany (referred to as "the enemy" in Mr. Everiot's letter) is using United States rehabilitation and foreign aid funds to prepare her- self tor "another war of con- quest." It is further suggested that at Chancellor Adenauer's death or deposition, West Ger- many will lose much of her strength. Mr. Everiot feels that it would have been advisable to give the aid rather to England and France, "who did more to save us from German savagery." May I draw your attention, kind read- er, to the billions of dollars which have been and are being pumped into these countries to assist them through their cur rent economic decline? I am in agreement with you, Mr. Everiot, when you state, "Remember, there are many sides to politics and world and local happenings always, but surely today. Take with a grain of salt what may appear (to be) conclusive evidence." Thank you very much for the voice of your opinion, and to any other read- ers who may have a comment or an opinion, feel free to let it be known by a word or letter to myself or the CLOCK TOWER staff. About the proposed constitu- tion change for the Associated Student Body: The plan is strangely familiar. Haven't I heard it before in one of Dr. Cleveland's classes? Oh yes, now it all comes back to me. Con- gratulations, Dr. Cleveland, after a long and hard campaign, vic- tory is in sight. The proposed change is in my mind, and doubtlessly in the minds of the majority of my con- temporaries, the answer to a much-needed clear student voice in student affairs. The most fa- vored point: 40 or 50 students (about 1 representative per 20 students) in the House of Repre- sentatives will give every stu- dent someone he knows to whom to go with his opinions. These Faces in the Crowd: Dr. Robert Cleveland, originator of the proposed constitution plan. Dick Milholm, coordinator of a successful CLOCK TOWER cam- paign.
