The past seven years Mrs. Miller has heen teaching at Antillian Union College, Cuba. She received her Master's degree at the University of Nebraska in 1953. Another addition to the Union College staff is Mr. James Engel. Teaching in the Chemistry depart- ment, he will be associated with Dr. D. K. Brown. Mr. Engel received his B.A. degree from Washington Mission- ary College in 1951. He attended the University of Maryland from 1951 to 1954, and received his M.S. L. K. Tobiassen Elder L. K. Tobiassen, professor of religion and history at Southern Missionary College, has accepted the invitation of the Board of Trus- tees to connect with Union College as head of the religion department. Born in Norway, Elder Tobiassen went to Veile Fjord, Denmark, for part of his education and to New- bold College in England. He then came to the States, graduating from Emmanuel Missionary College in 1936. Later Elder Tobiassen re- turned to Newbold to teach. He re- ceived his Master's degree at the Seminary in 1948 ancl began teach- ing at Southern Missionary College in 1946. Autumn H. Miller Mrs. Autumn H. Miller has heen asked to join the staff at Union College as assistant professor of Elementary Education. Mrs. Miller, who attended College View High School, graduated from Union College in 1931 and began her teaching career in a Topeka, Kan- sas, church school the following fall. In 1936 she accepted a call to Costa Graduates Figure in Northern Union Moves Five Union College graduates have figured in the changes made recently in the Northern Union personnel. Elder Kimber D. John- son, '37, is the newly elected presi- dent of the North Dakota Con- ference. Succeeding him as Mission- ary Volunteer and Educational secretary of the Northern Union Conference is Boyd Olson, '39, who has been serving in the same capac- ity in the Minnesota Conference. Jay Lantry, '48, has accepted the principalship of Oak Park Academy, Nevada, Iowa. The former princi- pal. B. E. Hamilton, '49, has assum- ed his duties as Missionary Volun- teer and Educational secretary of the North Dakota Conference, fill- ing the vacancy left by Max Torkel- sen, '50, who will be the principal of the Grand Junction Junior Academy in Colorado. James Engel from this institution in June, 1955. He was granted an assistantship while teaching three years in Mary- land. Presently he is with the United States Department of Agriculture. Engel is married and has a two- year-old son. Progress Made in UC Department of Nursing Union College has made another landmark in denominational educa- tional history. On June 18, 1956, six students in the department of nursing began a twelve-week course in psychiatric nursing con- ducted by a Seventh-day Adventist teacher and with clinical practice in a Seventh-day Adventist hospi- tal. This is the first time this has- been possible in a denominational school for professional nursing. This new program has been pos- sible because Union College stu- dents can be assigned to duty in the fifty-patient psychiatric units of Porter Sanitarium and Hospital in Denver and because Union Col- lege has on its faculty the only Seventh-day Adventist nurse with an advanced degree in psychiatric nursing. The program has been developed by Miss Francis Pride, B.N., B.S. in Nursing from Union College, and M.S. with a major in psychiatric nursing from the University of Colorado. Instruction in psychia- tric nursing has been developed to teach students the newest and most widely accepted concepts of the nursing care of mentally ill patients. Miss Pride has planned the pro- gram to include Christian philoso- phy and standards for the main- tenance of health of the mind and the soul and has included Christian ideals of nursing service to the emo- tionally sick. The first group of students to have the advantage of this new ancl long-hoped-for achievement in Seventh-day Adventist nursing edu- cation are: Miriam Binder June Cornelsen Verna Johnson Diane Kelstrom Phyllis Larson Phoebe Springer College Bureau Places Graduates of 1956 "Union's graduates of 1956 who asked help of the college place- ment bureau are all employed with but one exception and of course, excepting the nurses who are com- pleting their work at the clinical division in August," reports L. W. Welch, director of the placement bureau. Thirteen members of the class have been accepted for graduate study at the College of Medical Evangelists. Six have entered the ministry; at least fifteen will be teaching; others are in business, secretarial work, building construc- tion, ancl graduate study. The placement bureau still has many calls for elementary school teachers, deans of girls, secretaries, and music teachers. A study reported recently shows that in evaluating ministerial candi- dates the average ratings by the college department is in sixty-seven per cent of its items exactly the same as the average ratings by su- perior officers and associates in em- ployment after one to five years. The similar comparison for ratings of teachers by the supervisor of practice is fifty per cent. The wid- est range of difference between teacher ancl employers in these average ratings is less than one fifth of the full scale. Detamore to Conduct Evangelistic Week End An "Evangelistic week end" fea- turing Elder Fordyce Detamore will be conducted in the Union College auditorium, July 20 and 21. The meetings, sponsored by the College View Church Evangelistic Committee, will be directed to- ward securing "decisions," accord- ing to M. W. Deming, church pas- tor. A Saturday evening vesper ser- vice will be held in the Pinewood Bowl, an outdoor arena in Pioneer Park, as part of the weekend ac- tivities. The First Installment Is $55,000; Final Payment to Be Made July 1, 1957 Union College is one of six hundred thirty privately-su pported col- leges ancl universities in the United States who will receive this month checks totaling $130,000,000 as The Ford Foundation's first payment under its program to help raise faculty salaries. Union has received $55,000 which is the first installment of a'$110,000 grant. The payments represent half the sum of two appropriations totaling $260,000,000. For most of the institutions the payments are ap- proximately half of the total grants they will receive. It is expected that final payments will be dis- tributed by July 1, 1957. Included in the endowment pro- gram, larger of the two programs, are all four-year regionally-ac- credited, privately-supported col- leges ancl universities which grant degrees in the liberal arts and in a number of allied professional fields. Under the second program, 126 of these institutions receive ac- complishment grants as well. When the grants under the en- dowment program are fully paid, each institution will have received a sum approximately equal to its undergraduate instructional costs for the 1954-55 academic year. This sum is to be added to the insti- tution's endowment fund and is expected to produce an annual in- come of about 4 per cent. Under the terms of the endowment pro- gram, the income must be applied in full to the increase of faculty salaries. After 10 years, however, the principal sum may be used for either salary support or any other academic purpose. The endowment grants are from a $210,000,000 ap- propriation announced in Decem- ber 1955. H. Rowan Gaither, Jr.. chairman of the board and president of The Ford Foundation, declared in con- nection with the faculty grants: "By this action the Ford Founda- tion reaffirms its conviction that the future of our society rests upon the quality of American education. "Teachers ancl the teaching system are at the heart of our edu- cational structure; yet the eco- nomic burden that rests upon our teachers is a heavy one. "So I must emphasize that these grants are only an approach to, and not a solution of, the problem. It is hoped that the grants will be interpreted as a challenge by the thousands of alumni, friends, and institutions whose support is vital to private education and to our society." ATS President Reveals Plans for 1956-S7 Renewed plans of temperance activities for the coming school year, including a rejuvenated mem- bership drive, are being finalized by the ATS, according to Loren Dickenson, president of the local chapter. Society members next year will be recipients of an extensive stu- dent-geared program designed to provide both interest and enter- tainment in a major monthly activ- ity, discloses the ATS. Nationally, Union will partici- pate by invitation in WCTU ora- torical competition slated for next spring. A state-wide contest fol- lowed by a national event are in the plans for local winners. Listen magazine, not received here for several years, will be on hand at the outset of the year, and will be available to students and faculty members upon member- ship. Further highlights of the so- ciety's planned events will not be disclosed until registration week, at which time temperance activi- ties will be initiated. Union Receives $1,000 from U.S.S. Union College has received a $1,000 grant from the United States Steel Foundation, Inc. The unre- stricted grant is part of the corpo- ration's Aid-to-Education program. Union is one of 403 liberal arts colleges to benefit from the grants. The money will be used for faculty and staff development and incen- tives, according to President Har- vey C. Hartman. Elder Wallenkampf Faces ISew Teaching Challenge COMING EVENTS Elder and Mrs. Wallenkampf, Mary, Victor and Karen in their garden. by Sully The man who stood by the dusty, Union-old museum cases looked out the neglected window where green creeper vines were sometimes pressed inquisitively against smudged glass. The win- dow in the hall outside his office now seemed like a poignant hour- glass through which the snows and Nugent rains ancl autumn leaves had fallen for many seasons. He expected a CT reporter who, in a little while, would come and chat with him, and ask, "Why are you leaving?" Elder A. V.

Note of selfish sympathy: "Editorials are sometimes like people —hard to figure out." Sri ARE YOU A MIRACLE? Prompting, prodding, pushing, pulling, paddling, pestering—all these have to be done to the fellow who has never learned that "De- pendability is the Prince of Virtues." The cry of the world and the Church is for men who will FINISH the responsibilities which are committed to them. When you have said "Yes," consider that word as a sacred promise of fulfillment—you and I must not be content with an empty verbal assent. Some persons would like to stand before kings or queens; others would enjoy meeting outstanding personalities in yorld affairs; but I want to meet only one man—the one who will do a job after he says that he will. When you find such a man, bring him around—he is a miracle of this age. BC 71 CHALLENGE TO FREEDOM One evening as I listened to a band play the beautiful strains of "America" and watched our flag of red, white and blue wave in the breeze, I wondered if people today realize what a wonderful heritage our forefathers gave us—the "sweet land of liberty." We take so much for granted that we hardly realize what a price the early Americans paid for the liberty we enjoy today. A few days ago our nation celebrated its 180th birthday. Those men wanted freedom to think and act as their consciences directed. They wanted it enough to work for it and, when the need came, to fight for it. What would it be like if the freedom of speech, press, assembly, or our freedom to worship as we believe should be taken from us? We would soon appreciate what we now have. We, who have so many advantages, should make the best use of them, and aim to keep our country on a high level of living. The vast opportunities of education open to all who want an education also gives the challenge to maintain and preserve this heritage and pass it on to those who will follow after us. LC Quest CditoriaL WISPS I've been reading A book Thoughts that someone Else thinks Deeds that someone Else does. Yet those pages to me Are friends, Who inspire to lofty. Noble aims. To things yet not Accomplished; Friends who give The best To make me feel Living life Is really worthwhile, That's what Books mean to me. Do you READ, Friend o'Mine? You knew I would have to write something about reading books, didn't you? I often think of all of you who are at home this summer, with time on your hands. You may say such is not the case with you— but regardless of your activities you must have some time for the delightful "extras" in life. "Extras" to sit out on the bock porch "to watch the clouds light up before the sun goes down" with a half-read book on your lap; to browse around in the public library at home and find a new book to "keep posted"; to look through the old bookcase in the parlor, and curl up in the porch swing with a favorite "worth rereading." Or your "extras" may come during a quiet hour in the evening after a busy day at the typewriter, on the hospital floor, or on the street from door to door as a colporteur. Even in this life there are "extras"; do you make yours "Read- ing," Friend o' Mine? Floda V. Smith Placements Ernest R.

Faculty Brushes Up Several members of the Union College staff are spending the sum- mer away from the campus and are scattered from East to West. Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Cadwallader are in Washington, D.C. where he is gathering material for his book on the history of the Seventh- day Adventist denomination. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Minium and Miss Pearl Hall are spending the summer in California. Miss Hilda Fern Remley is vacationing in Florida at the present. Two members of the-music fac- ulty are in the East, studying for advanced degrees. Mr. J. Wesley Rhodes is at Columbia University, and Mr. Neil Tilkens is studying at a university in Washington, D.C. Mrs. Marguerite Widener recently spent three weeks in New York City visiting her son. Miss Gertrude Huygens is taking course work on her Master's degree in Library Science at the Univer- sity of Illinois. Mr. Robert Reynolds is studying at the University of Southern California. Six staff members are visiting camp meetings and soliciting stu- dents in the various conferences of Union College territory. They are President H. C. Hartman, Mr. Milo Anderson, Mr. Robert Cleveland, Mr. Arthur Hauck, Elder J. J. Wil- liamson, and Dean M. S. Culver. Then there are those who are in Lincoln for the summer—working, studying, and teaching. Several are attending the University of Nebras- ka and teaching at Union. They are Miss Violet Archambeau, Mr. Arthur Howard, Miss Elaine Schan- der, and Mr. Robert Wagner. Taking work at the Univer- sity on their advanced degrees are Mr. Robert Firth, Mr. Earl Leon- hardt, Mr. Neil Rowland, and Mr. Francis Chase. Miss Margaret Pedersen and Miss Victoria Lar- sen are taking work at the Univer- sity and working part time at Union College. At their usual places of duty on UC campus we find Miss Marie Anderson, Mr. Vernon Dunn, Mr. H. L. Keene, Mr. V. J. Jester, Miss Floda Smith, and Miss Ruth Whit- field. Teaching in the summer ses- sion at Union are Dr. Douglas Brown, Miss Betty Christensen, Miss Iris Donaly, Elder P. C. James, Mr. R. A. [olinson, Mr. Lloyd Leno, Dr. R. K. Nelson, Mr. Walter Page, Miss Maude Reid, Dr. H. G. Rein- muth, Miss Virginia Sliull, Dr. A. E. Smith, Dr. G. H. Straight, Dr. L. W. Welch, and Elder J. J. William- son. The superintendents of the in- dustries are busy as usual, directing the work in their departments. by Billie Deming "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." Psalm 24:1, 2. What better way to realize the significance of these verses than to be out in God's great out-of-doors. The Union College Academy young people and a number of parents and friends resorted to a place among nature to spend Sabbath, June 30. Waubonsie State Park in Iowa, with its wooded hills and green valleys, was the place chosen. From the lookout point 120 persons lifted their praises to God in an inspiring song service led by Marilyn Lang with Delma Enderson and Scenes from the outing at Waubonsie State Park her accordion. Myron Hinger, Betty Carlisle, Natalie Deming, Carlyle Welch, and Mr. Wasemiller had a part in making the Sabbath school an interesting experience. There was no need for an 11:00 sermon to be given for just being out in nature is a sermon on God's wonderful creative power. At the close of Sabbath school a short hike was taken to a small valley where all gathered for a Missionary Volunteer meeting under the leadership of Nancy Howell. Natalie Deming and Delma Enderson led out in singing a few rousing songs. Mr. Morford gave a talk on bees and the process of honey-making. To close the MV meeting Dr. Heinrich read a quotation from The Great Controversy, and Glenna Lewis san<' "The Beautiful Hills." No one was left to go hungry as each family brought a picnic lunch and enough for any extra person who might have forgotten to bring something. After a short rest, those present were divided into four groups to go on organized hikes to various points of interest. One of the places that each group wanted to see was the "swinging bridge" which goes across a small ravine. As the group returned home that night, they had gained a new vision of God and His handiwork. A PRAYER FOR SERVICE I pray for hands that clasp beneath Thine eyes, hands that only work, and serve and seek Thee. I ask for tongue that to Thee alone cries, that only sings and never talks of me. 1 want to count the words I speak each day, their value and their beauty weigh. I'd like to smile and have a tender touch, to turn from gifts while giving much. I th ink it s time to give my friends a rest, to take an honest, solitary test. I ought to calm proud nerves a bit, by strangers for a while to sit. I hunger for the humblest wine, to drink beneath a lonely vine.

Nor could he express very well the regret at leaving the place where he had worked and lived for the last ten years. "Why am I leaving?" He remembered leaving Sweden to go to Newbold College in Eng- land. Then when he was 25, he left Europe to sail to America. After he was graduated from EMC, the war prevented him from returning to the old country and he began preaching in the Minnesota Conference. It was there just five years after coming to America that he married Mae Sorensen, a gradu- ate of Union College, who was teaching music at a nearby acade- my. After teaching at Sheyenne River Academy for a couple of years, the Wallenkampfs came to Union in 1946. Karen was just five months old and carried in a basket. By now she has a younger sister, Mary who is seven and a half and a little brother, Victor, who is three and a half years old. Outside, a small whirlwind caught a puddle of warm soft dust and swirled it upward through bright Nebraska sunshine. He felt the humid earthiness of the plains land, where steel blades cut and cut the heart of the earth so that there might be growth and production, "ft is ours to sow, ours to labor, and God's responsibility to take care of the consequences." Elder Wallenkampf recalled pleas- ing consequences of the past years at UC-the institution of the "Week of Sacrifice" three years ago, when UCites had more than tripled the expected offering for the week. He thought of the planted seeds, too—the idea of sending corsage money from at least one annual banquet a year to some mission field. He liked to think that eyes would be lifted up out of egocentricity and out toward the ends of the earth, to far mission stations with a touch of Union's hand to Union's own, with some SA money or a senior class gift. Warm in his heart was the con- fidence that SDA young people will do all they can, anything, if furnished with ideas and leader- ship. During the busy days prior to graduation there had been little time to consider leaving his college —for Elder Wallenkampf is a Unionite. Perhaps there had been time, and he had pushed the thought away. Here was security, his home, his friends. He hated to leave his garden (he must re- member to spread the fertilizer he'd gotten earlier in the morn- ing) and many other loved places. The desire to stay where he was established and happy and com- fortable was very strong. In the quieter days after school was out, an old meaningful mes- sage had imprinted itself upon all the smaller words that spoke of staying: "Ascertain the will of God and then do it." The reporter turned aside his apologies for his work clothes, sat down in the green-walled, book- filled office and asked her teacher, "Why are you leaving?" His chair seemed to tip back with the ease of ten years support for words of advice, counsel, criti- cism, as Elder Wallenkampf be- gan to talk: "I know how Union operates and as you fill the same mold year after year you become set and stale; growth slows down and levels off. Out there, transplanted, I will have to adjust to new cir- cumstances, and 1 hope I shall grow. Some of the rough corners i have developed at Union are going to be knocked off. It will be good for my personal growth. It will be good for Union's too. "This is the greatest challenge I have faced: 400 young men, who some people have told me, aren't interested in religion. But they are; I have faith enough in young people to know that they want to be good; they don't want to be bad. I like to work with young people, I have a tremendous amount of faith in young people. They have their lives before them and if we can direct them to develop their abilities and turn to God for wis- dom and strength, we have fol- from page 1) lowed a Christian purpose. They need leadership,—I am not quali- fied, you say—that is Cod's prob- lem. I will follow His guidance and do my best, depending on Him lor ultimate divine aid in whatever is to be done. There must needs be a faithfulness to our stewardship unto God; every man to be a true Christian must heed this; he must accept the opportunity which God gives. He must weed out the selfish motives, the egocentric purposes. "The two greatest virtues in the sight of God are purity and love. 1 feel moved by the love of Christ in my own heart to point young doctors, influential leaders, to God. These young men will be the real leaders in their churches later and must accept God's realities of life." Later, as he closed the office door and paused briefly beside the window again, his prayer to meet his challenge filled his heart. Elder Wallenkampf looked at pure white thunderheads a n d knew their whiteness, even through a dusty window. He was, at the moment, a Unionite sad to leave, a man of God—always a man of God. 3n (Brief^...

You would see where twenty-seven young people are spending most of their time this summer. As we enter the door we see Mr. Mayer, the manager, busy at his desk; his secretary, Virginia Bishop, is typing the letters he has dictated to her. As we leave the office we hear working m a c bine r y, hammers pounding, and sometimes, low humming noises. The first stop is by a table where magazines and worn books from different schools are being checked in and recorded. Wherever you turn, you see hooks and more hooks! The stepladder even comes in handy to put some of the hooks above the shelves and stack them to the ceiling. You see, space is scarce here! But in spite of our crowded conditions we have our assembly line ar- ranged so that each book is care- fully bound. The books are then jogged and sectioned for sewing. The sewing machine is continually in use as the stream of books goes through it. The bindery is constantly try- ing to improve both its services and its product. We have received many calls for a new type of sew- ing for certain bindings; namely, the "saddle stitching." For this reason we have installed the new National Straight-Needle Sewer (Books which are sewed in this Lena Escandon operates new National Straight-Needle Sewer, for improved services af the Capitol City Bookbindery.

It disintegrates the center of the staples such as in magazines and some textbooks. This doubles the speed by which we can remove staples. After sewing the books are put on another table where the end- sheets are glued on. From here they go into the big trimmer to be trimmed. After trimming, the books are rounded and backed in a ma- chine by the only boy at the bind- ery, Dick Jensen. After these treatments, card- board and cloth is cut to fit these books and they are "first" and "second" cased into attractive and strong Buckram covers.

Step out with confidence in clothes expertly cleaned and pressed by SOUTH SIDE CLEANERS 4702 Prescott Open Sundays CLOCK TOWER July 16, 1956 Feature Focus Overheard- - South Overheard--North Miss Maxwell's 41 Years Devoted to Teaching Children J Children learn homemakino in Miss Maxwell's schoolroom. by Hele Readin'. writin', and 'rithmetic; all this and much more has been the contribution of Miss Myrtle Max- well whose inspiration came from a devoted father and love for her teachers. From the beginning of her teach- ing career which began in Atlanta, Georgia, not only were little minds growing but also wee fingers were kept busy in the practical phases of science, cooking, and woodwork- ing. Just out of academy with only one year's teaching experience, a young girl boldly made her wav to teach in the rural school started by the first Seventh-day Adventist church of the South, teaching seven grades and boarding six children of isolated areas of the community, making it possible for them to at- tend a Christian school. From the doors of that small rural school have come teachers, nurses, and ministers. Say, teacher, if you can't afford choir robes for your school choir, Miss Maxwell has a solution by having the children's mothers bleach sugar and flour sacks. Miss Maxwell's first school choir sang beautifully in robes made of this material; the patterns are cheap. "Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billie?" Oh, yes, any child who has been in Miss Max- well's classroom will be an excel- lent homemaker. You see she has a modern kitchen in one corner of her classroom which she has spent hours working to equip, and here little chefs learn how to prepare tasty dishes. Does some brilliant contractor need a carpenter? You'll have one if he has been a student of Miss n Tynar Maxwell. For you see the boys and girls alike have opportunity to learn woodwork. An educator who has devoted thirty-five of her forty-one years of Christian service to elementary teacher training in our colleges has valuable ideas stored up and it had been Miss Maxwell's desire to prepare some helpful material for teachers when she retired. You say, "Oh, soon our teachers will have this fine book." Not yet, for you see Miss Max- well has decided she can't stop teaching yet, so she is going back where she started her teaching, Atlanta. Georgia. There the prin- cipal of the ten grade school is one of these pupils who left the doors of Miss Maxwell's little rural school in North Carolina many years ago. "But what about the book?" you say. Eventually she plans to write it but when, we really don't know. We do know that a devout Chris- tian woman has dedicated her life to God's service and we wish her God's richest blessing. %Von dering with Islayne If you're not—your neighbor probably is! Startling, but it's true. Yes, almost one out of every two persons on campus this summer is, or is training to be, a school teacher. "Why so many?" "What do they sse in teaching?" "Do they enjoy it that much?" Do questions such as these pass through your thoughts concerning teaching and teachers? If so, read on, you may find the answer. what do you do for filler ma- terial when there are no great is- sues at hand, thought for a while we could discuss the dry, hot weather but wouldn't you know it the rain came, can't express any opinions on the student associa- tion project because no one will listen, opinions on summer school? they won't print those. After (par- don the error on the capital letter) six weeks of summer school i know how the funnel feels when you try to pour something into it too rapidly, some gets through but some also spills over the sides and disappears into nothingness, im- agine, if you can, sitting in a class- room with about ten or fifteen other students, beads of perspi- ration form on your brow resem- bling the cool inviting perspiration visible on the glass of ice cold lemonade, this torture, when will it cease? the trees are silent, too hot and dust saturated to wave their branches and suggest cooling breezes, many days they look to cloud filled skys hoping they will release the burden of water that will wash the leaves and cool the bran c h e s, my how elementary poetic, if you were planning to en- roll in summer school next year don't let this discourage you, we do have rain, in fact just yesterday (which will be ten days past when this goes to press, "if it goes to press," and older still when you real this) now where was i! oh yes! just yesterday it got so cool by Frank Hovise The New Look! Bamboo? Yes, and we're proud of it too. A few weeks ago the Christian Record Benevolent Association made South Hall rooming headquarters for most of its 50 workers in Lincoln for a convention. Every guest's room was cleaned and furnished with an attractive set of bamboo curtains which, when the convention ended, were donated to South Hall with best wishes from The Christian Record. We want to express our sincere appreciation to "The Record" for this most practi- cal installment. Mr. Swena must have had his eves open for possible winter hazards, or maybe just wanted to dream of colder weather, when he installed four stainless steel hand rails at the entrance to South Hall. These are "grace notes" added for your pro- tection; so that now if on some cold winter morning you fail to descend the icy steps uprightly, just grab that rail, man! You're sleepy! Have you ever walked by South Hall and won- dered where the music was coming from? We are fortunate in having two violinists on the campus with us this summer. They are: Robert Potter from Kansas, and Jere Brinegar from Ozark Academy. I can imagine what the manager of the minia- ture golf course thought when about fifty UC students lined up for tickets a few Saturday nights ago. Our Activities Committee has come up with some very good ideas so far. Keep it up, folks, we like your choice of recreation. Now that the crack and ring of fireworks from the July 4 holiday has faded we look back and real- ize how much the church-sponsored picnic and pictures added to our day's enjoyment. The picnic supper was served on the lawn south of the bovs' dormitorv and was prepared by the ladies of the church. This brought fond memories of home and mother's tastv meals. Thank you so much for the good food! You lucky people at home better eat like you wish you could when you're here, because soon it will be time to come back; we are all looking forward to seeing you. UNION COLLEGE FULLY ACCREDITED Fall Semester Registration Begins September 16 Ly Wendy Owen The late afternoon sun slants down between the rickety bars of the fire escape. I sit musing at my typewriter, thinking of the results of a poll I had just completed. The question was, "Who do you think has the friendliest smile in North Hall?" The results tied up among three girls—Annette Harchenko, Harriet Anderson, and Esther Morris. Keep smiling, girls, and remember that a smile is contagious, but it is something that everyone likes to catch! In North Hall this summer we have six sets of s;sters. They are: Jonnie Lee and Olivene Bailey, Marie and Barbara Journey, Coriena and Viola Lowry, Pat and Marcia Petersen, Joyce and Arlene Russell, and Esther and Saba Swayze. Although it is common knowledge that sisters don't seem to hit it off too well, I have made it a point to secretly check up on these. They seem to be the exceptions that prove the rule. Not a cross word did I hear or a single hair-pulling did I witness! Maybe they are oil too busy for this. We all know the story of Martha and Mary. We have two Marthas in the dorm who have con- tributed so much that we couldn't have gotten along without them this summer. Martha Lorenz, acting as dean in Miss Remley's absence, is doing a wonderful job directing the dormitory. Martha Zimmerman is the dorm nurse who takes care of our backaches, headaches, and even a few heart- aches when someone gets lonesome! These Marthas are the ones who have chosen the "better part" in their ways of service and thoughtfulness. All things come to an end, and this is my last Overheard Column. It has been my duty to show how Old North Hall—despite its weather-beaten bricks and old-fashioned gables—despite its oc- casional falling plaster and sometimes stopped- up showers—has held in its heart a group of girls that had the spirit and vision to make it a lovely home. And I say to you that are here and to those coming this Fall, whoever you are, do one thing for me. Keep the halls full of happy laughter. Keep the rooms shiny with smiles as well as brooms. Keep the warmth of Summer, the color of Fall, the beauiv of Winter and the fresh beginnings of Spring forever in your heart—for these are the things you, too, will remember. J4ere Z)lie re n Cvery where Via vern we turned the air-conditioner off and i put on my heavy "T" shirt. enough of this talk of weather lets get to a more controversial issue, will mr. eisenhower con- velese successfully to maintain his strategic position or will the copy for the july issue be late again, now if you want my opinion on this i would only say as the union col- lege philosopher says, "yes." speaking of notable characters i have received a (pardon the ex- pression) letter from loren dicken- son from the general delivery ad- ress shaver lake, California, he states they are preparing to do a job known as blister-rust control. They won't have much worry in the control of the blister but i per- cieve the rust will have ample time to become apparent, actually this work involves grubbing out goose- berry bushes and is contracted by the ache—er. be glad to have the rusty ones back in September with all their hair raising experiences (they are probably growing beards) and plenty of media of ex- change to help them thru another year at u.c. i see i'm out of type- writer ribbon so with this parting thought, "quite often when a man thinks his mind is getting broader, it is only his conscience stretching." and to those who are here in sum- mer school and on campus work- ing, "This life is all a fleeting show, yet no wise man regrets it; man wants but little here below, and generally he gets it." "I am a church school teacher," says Mrs. Dumas of El Dorado, Arkansas, "because I love children." "And I teach," adds Mrs. Nellie Fritchie of Wilsonville, Nebraska, "because I realize how eager par- ents must be to rear their children in the truth that has been revealed to us, especially now when the end seems so near." Good reasons, aren't they? But, let's not stop. Here comes Sara Martinez of San Antonio, Texas. We'll ask her why she teaches. "I teach because I love children and it's always thrilling to watch them grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. As a church school teacher," adds Sara, "I have the wonderful privilege of leading the young minds to Christ, and that to me is the greatest satisfaction in life." "Why do 1 like my work as a church school teacher?" queries Tillie Brubacker, "because of the natural exuberance of young peo- ple! I'm humbled by the simple trust and innocence of the little ones, while the ambitions and dreams of the youth stimulate me into being a better example of the calling I represent." Do you begin to understand why the person sitting next to you in chapel, class or the smiling person who just passed you on the walk, teaches? It's certainly not the ma- terial reward which stimulates them. No, it's inward thoughts like Thelma Steinbarger's who answers this way. "I feel it's our duty as servants of God. It is one of the highest and noblest works that can be done." Evelyn Wangsness must agree with Thelma also for she states, "It is a privilege to have a part in the training of their minds and bodies, to better prepare them for citizens in the world to come." "Why do I teach church school?" asked John Stuckey. "Why? because I am a S.D.A.A. (Seventh-day Ad- ventist American). This calls me to do two jobs at once, one for my God and one for my country. In what other way could I fill such a task and work with children everv day?" "It gives me great satisfaction," replies Mrs. Christine Beyer, "to know that I have a small part in helping to finish the work." Ruth Ann Stringer of Colorado has this to say. "I teach church school because I love the light that shines out of the pupi's' eyes, when long division or phonics 'soaks through.' I love to hear a pupil beg to do more saying, 'It's easy when you know how, isn't it?' Es- pecially, I need the wisdom asked for in the children's prayers, 'Help the teacher to teach us the things she should.'" Next time someone comes to you and says, "Why would anyone want to teach school?" You can answer new, can't you? ESTHER LOSO Tailoring Alterations 4445 So. 48th Ph. 4-4212 Dr. E. P.
