The Union College pep band under the direction of H. Lloyd Leno provided the music for the evening. Fii"st on the agenda was the girls' volleyball game. After a spirited tussel, Shelby Scott's team came out on top by a score of 16-14 over Jeanie Simmon's team. Next was the championship game of the men's volleyball league, the faculty, every year a leading contender, versus the Bird-Dogs. In the best two of three games, the "Bird-Dogs," last year's winners took the 1956-57 title, by a score of 13-15, 15-8 and 15-12. The games were hard fought and outstanding floor play by "Bird- Dog" captain, Dale Palmer, and the hard spiking of Bud Siebenlist made the differences. The set-ups of George Lewis and the spiking by Arthur Howard kept the faculty contending all the way. Girls' basketball took over then Jack Jackson vaults over Charles Chambers and the Swedish box during the half time entertainment put on by the college tumbling team. The enter- tainment also included other gymnastics by the team. Hartley staff writer and our female magicians of the hardwood put on quite a show as team 1, led by high scoring Deanna Aaron managed to win over Janet Ackerman's team, 25-23. The annual village-dormitory basketball game climaxed the eve- ning. In one of the best games seen here in a long time, the boys' dorm defeated the village 51-42. The final score doesn't tell the whole story, as it was close until the final five minutes. Halftime score was 25-24 in favor of the village. Outstanding shooting by Joe Simpson of the village and Bob Iluffer of the dorm kept fans on the edge of their seats all evening. Huffer was high point man with 15 and Simpson close be- hind with 14. Everyone on the two teams deserves credit for an enter- taining game, and good sportsman- ship was very much in evidence. Halftime entertainment in both the girls' and boys' basketball game was provided by the Union College tumbling team in height and distance diving and vaulting. This team is coached by R. M. Reynolds, physical education di- rector. Orchestra Presents Winter Concert Tomorrow Evening Explorer To Bring Alaskan Athletes Erskine, Robinson Speak Here BOTH ENDORSE CHRISTIAN WAY AS THE BEST WAY At eight o'clock tomorrow night, January 19, the Union College Con- cert Orchestra begins its first con- cert of the 1956-57 school year. Mr. Arthur Howard will direct the con- cert to be held in the college gym- nasium. Music from m a n y lands and many eras has been promised. Sev- cnteenth century France will be represented by Lully's French Ba- ro(iue Suite. Where'ere You Walk by Handel is a love song of a some- what later date which will be pre- sented in an arrangement by Lcroy Anderson. Appearing with the orchestra will be the Unionaires and Mr. William Haynes who will perform several operatic numbers including the Torreradors Song for those who particularly enjoy v o c a 1 music. Light music will be presented in the form of folk music with Gyp- sy flavor. Gypsy Legend, a Hun- garian folk dance is one of the numbers to be presented from this style of composition as well as the Children's Dance by Howard Han- sen. Three years before the death of Mozart due to continual overwork and fatigue, he wrote a symphony which critics say is one of the few perfect objects in art. The orches- tra will perform the first movement of this symphony. Number 40 in G Minor. Frontier In Film Lyceum Neil Douglas, American explorer will present the film, Tomorrow Never Comes, as the first lyceum of 1957, in the college auditorium January 26, at 8:15 o'clock. The lecture film will present life in Alaska, and will have shots of nature, wild life, and the domestic life of the people-Eskimos, Aleuts, and Indians. One feature presented will be the life story of the largest known Alaskan brown bear. It will include shots concerning the making of his trails, his eating habits, his pro- tective instincts, the conditons un- der which he will fight, and the ma- ternal instinct of the mother. Accor- ding to experts these are the great- est brown bear action shots ever made. In addition to the brown bear story there will be other high lights. Some of them will include glacier scenery in brilliant sunlight, and training of a seal from the wild state, the charge of a 3000 pound sea lion directly at the camera, and a 100 mile gale on an explorer's tiny tent. Mr. Douglas has done extensive study in the field of wild life and spent much time in outdoor Alaska. His work, Tomorrow Never Conies, is on film for the first time. Carl Erskine, of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Jim Robinson, former football halfback at Pittsburgh, rep- resented the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes at Union College on Sunday, January 13. The program Carl Erskine and Jim Robinson (center) sign autographs for Loren Prange and Dick Pollard. Sponsored by the local American Temperance Society chapter, the two sports figures spoke to Union College students on the part Christian living plays in their lives. was sponsored by the Union Col- lege chapter of the .American Tem- perance Society. The Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes is a new organization. It has been designed to help give young people courage to live their faith by bringing to them well-known athletes who have a church affilia- tion and believe in clean living and professing a faith. The members travel all over the United States speaking to high school and college youth. "In the baseball world," Carl Erskine stated, "it is easy to become superstitious, for one feels the need for something bigger than himself to keep him in there on top. The feeling of a need for a higher thing is the reason I feel so close to God. Every time I stand on the mound before a game, I say a little prayer that God will help me to do my best that day—not that I will win- only do my best. I don't think I could go on if I did not believe." Carl also pointed out that baseball players realize the importance of keeping a strong body and there- fore they try to live clean lives.

CLOCK TOWER, JANUARY 18, 1957 Overheard-- ISorth the hy Bonnie Reynolds (In Sally Nugent's Absence) The new snow of a new year—as cold and chilling as frosty looks of professors who are forced to tutor still Christmas- starry-eyed, sugar plumb-headed pupils—and the snowball of hours and days and weeks grows, picking up with each revolution a dis- carded resolution, or a choice event: Sally Saturley makes history and plays the good Samaritan to a carload of eight impatient U.C. coeds by stopping a carload of eight startled fellcws. —To solve the quick-getaway problem in a crowded parking lot, consult Miss Saturley. Solly Nugent has caused quite a stir in the anthropological world. Evolutionists, news columnists (?), professors, doctors, (even nurses, and the curicus) have paused to ponder what strange new type of facial structure the human race is apparently developing (beneath her ice-bag). Authorities have described this phenomenen as something similar to "hairless chipmunk cheeks in the region between the eyelashes and the e-'ebrcws." However any north third inhabitant can tell the authorities that such evolution will cease as soon as Sightless Sal—and others (Kathy PrenJice) like unto her— learn the proper lenght of time to stay under Nellie Elling's sunlamp. Speechless Ardis Winters and black-eyed Yvetta Weeks have truly arisen on the right side of this new year. And Jeanie Rogers commenting on the "horrible vacation traffic." said, "I didn't think it was so bad—we didn't run into o car all night!" The latest north hall tune was heard being chanted by Wretha Griffin and Bonnie Smith "Push Pull, Click Click, change gay blades that quick " Ah, but all good things must come-or go-and so it is with our nursing students. Fond memories of friendships formed left for us— and highest anticipation felt with them, and a secret understanding that the Spirit of Union will be carried when you leave us. We are glad you have been with us for this Union College Student Week of Prayer. Coriena Lowry, and Laurell Peterson as well as several fellows have presented us thoughts to live by and a Saviour to live with. Pure lovely January snow falls—and melts—leaving memory of a beautiful winter's experience in our hearts. January Week of Prayer kindles in our hearts a fire. Will its flames die for want of a surren- dered heart to consume with love? This newest year is a time for thinking thoughts of future happiness in store, of lasting Christmas peace, of the joy of service, of the wonder of winter snowflakes and a spring robin, o summer rose and an autumn-red leaf. We reflect and become the image of our thoughts—have we thoughts of Good, and Love, and remembered fire, and a Father guiding us in new years paths?

The letter told of some of the problems of Elder and Pre Med Group Plans Activities Interesting is the word to de- scribe the future plans of Mu Ep- silon Delta, as were set forth in the meeting of December 12, re- vealed Rob Johnson, vice president of the group.

Organization of the ban- quet is under the direction of the club officers who will act as chair- men with club president Kenneth Dedeker as general co-ordinator. Other events planned during the meeting were hospital tours, in- cluding observation of surgical techniques, medical films, lectures and discussions by local medical personnel. Additional business conducted was the election of a public rela- tions director, Hubert Watkins, to assume the responsibility of publi- cizing and reporting on the activi- ties of the club.

Remember, you may be the only Bible some people read!" Jim Robinson told ATS members of his early disregard for religion and then how the lives of Christian people around him made him want whatever it was that they had. He pointed out that thes e people, merely by living what they be- lieved, influenced him and made him know that that something that made them the kind of people they were was something worth having. Jim is now studying to be a minis- ter and stated that he sincerely be- lieves this would not have come about had it not been for that first incident of influence. "When you see what God does to the lives of others and what he can do for your life, it brings him a little closer. When I stop to think that the God who led Abraham and Moses is still the same today and is leading me, I realize how wonderful He is," said Jim.

Members of the Nursing club were the first to respond when they voted to send $35, earned from the sale of Christmas cards, to Mrs. Zork. The spirit of giving was aroused once again when the congregation at MV on Friday night, January 11, answered the plea of Nathan Sims for an offering to be sent to Mrs. Zork.

Each per- son was given a piece of a picture. The trick was to find the people who had the other part. When all the pictures had been put together, each group put on a little play and the other groups guessed what it represented. Marilyn Lang led in singing some Christmas carols. Refreshments of cookies and punch were served. The presents' which were under the tree were handed out with each person re- ceiving a gift. STUDENTS SPEAK FOR CONSECRATION WEEK Pictured above are the academy students who presented devotional topics during student week of prayer this week. The students of Union College Academy have been holding their student week of consecration, this week. The motto of the meetings was "if ye love me, keep my com- mandments." Mr. George and a committee of five chose the spea- kers and Marilyn Lang as leader. The speakers have been |im Sy- fert, Carlyle Welch, Lassie Bringle, Dorothy Chase, Ann Hilde, Betty Carlisle, Rayford Swart, Vcstine Draper, Shirley Hanson, Nancy Howell, Larry Duffield and Tom Harper. Morning and evening meetings were held each day. The speaker for tonight is Vernon Usher. Wes- ley Welch will be the 11:00 o'clock hour speaker tomorrow and Loren- zo Grcenidge will sing a solo then.

Overheard-- UCA seniors gather for a picture shortly after their coming out program recently. The UCA senior class of 1957 made its appearance in chapel on the 11th of January. As the last bell rang, the chapel lights went out and a picture of a mountain path was projected on the screen to portray the class motto:—"Un- travelcd paths, our opportunity." A picture of the New Jerusalem was then shown as the aim "Eter- ity our goal," was read. The students passed under the senior class colors, red and white, as they came through the chapel doors. The chosen class flower is the Mamie Eisenhower carnation. As each class officer was announ- ced, his picture was flashed on the screen, superimposed upon the mountain scene. The officers ap- peared in the following order: Larry Duffield Sergeant-at- arms Bettv Lou Carlisle Treasurer Pastor Secretary Vice-president President introduction of South by Dick Milholm After oil the anxiety, haste, and rush getting prepared to go to Chicago, Larry Schmidt, boarded a train. He settled down, leaned back, and went to sleep. Much to his horror when he awoke he had passed his train stop. I don't like to sound commercial, but did you get charged extra? Many students literally "took to the hills" for Christmas vaca- tion. The Colorado Rockies were covered with skiers whose school home is in Lincoln. Some were pros like Carrol Knauss, (who is known for his yodeling while riding the tow), Bob Huffer, (who broke his ski while trying to impress some girl no doubt), and James Maxwell, (who did impress a girl as he ran into her not once, but twice, and on the same run, too.) My but these boys are getting bold. Then there are the on-comers like Charley Chambers, (who lost four pair of snow goggles), Bob Scott, (who has decided that mountains are better than Missouri plains) and Bill Wilson, (who was stood up by a nursing student in Denver.) Then next in line are the beginners, the amateurs, the very unskillful such as Jack Hartley, (who sprained his ankle on his first try down the hill), Arlo Funk, (who acquired two swollen ankles, two rather out-of-portion knees, and a crutch) and Art Dick, (who believing in monkey see, monkey do; suceeded in breaking a pair of rented ski is). Room 350 has been quite the center of attraction for the stu- dents taking French in the college. Rooming there is a fellow class- mate come second semester, Michel Evard. Michel comes from a town near Paris, France. The beautiful pictures you see in the South hall parlor and in the castle were chosen by Dean Culver and purchased with worship fine money. The largest of the three pictures is a scene depicting the California sea coast, the medium one is of Monterey Bay. The re- maining one is an excellent portrayal of the entrance to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado with Pikes Peak in the background. Bob Whitsett was driving a convertible back from his vacation spent in North Dakota, when lo! and behold the top began to rip out. With quick thinking and ingenuity Bob repaired the laceration tem- porarily with chicken wire and a small strip of bailing wire. Tell rne. Robert, do you always carry chicken wire with you on trips?

I wonder if we here at Union College realize how fortunate we are. Do we realize the opportunities we have that others don't hare? I couldn't help thinking of this when I sat in on the sectional meetings of the religious representatives at Oakwood College recently. We were discussing reverence, and almost all the delegates were commenting on the fact that they felt the reason the students were irreverent was that they had to have both their secular and their religious meetings in the same place. When the opportunity afforded itself I mentioned that the same situation had existed at Union Col- lege but that we were fortunate enough to obtain the use of the College View Church for our religious meetings and then we used the auditorium for only our secular meetings. This I felt had greatly in- creased the reverence during our Monday religious chapels. They all agreed that the division was a good thing. When people go into the church they sense that God and His angels are meeting with them and reverence comes more naturally. We should be very grateful for the use of the church. I am sure that each one of you will agree with me that there is a much better attitude for our religious services than used to exist in the old chapel. Watching the students during this student week of prayer, I have felt that much has been accomplished over past years. Mention should also be made of the fine M.V. program on reverence, which helped us to realize more fully what reverence really means. Bob Beck A Plea lo* 9 t, , The general attitude of the attendance at some religious ser- vices, both of the college and community, though it has ben the object of many efforts directed toward its improvement by the leaders, seems to oftentimes be that of unconcern. As a result of this many times there appears to be an obvious lack of reverence. I'm sure that this attitude is not an intentional one but merely a result of thoughtlessness and carelessness on the behalf of the group involved. A true attitude of reverence seems as if it would be a more logical outcome of a deep and true respect of our Maker than the result that we have now. So many times we tend to judge such virtue not by its basic underlying meaning, but by the im- mediately obvious and thus neglect the real value. True reverence is not shown by seeing who can sing the hymn the slowest, who can attract the most attention to himself during the meeting, or who can study the longest assignment in chapel. The noisiness of many meetings surely can be cut down and the number of distractions diverting one's attention be eliminated. In this manner the attention could be limited to the speaker or the program being presented. The coming to meetings late and then entering in a majestic march to the front row of seats is hardly the thing to do in a secular public meeting. Why therefore, should we insist on doing it in a meeting in God's own house? Our own church has spent a considerable amount to arrange for and equip an mother's room for those who bring small children to church. Yet, many are the times when a meeting is interrupted several we, as the audience in this type of meeting, come to the realization times by the various cries from throughout the audience. Why can't that it is upon onr shoulders the burden falls of improving the rever- ent atmosphere. It not only would make our meeting more interesting and beneficial to us, but it is the duty of each of us to our Lord to adjust our attitude in such a way that we will automatically be rever- ent to Him, not only in large groups, but in everything that we do.

By the Way with Loren Dickinson Sports Men Speak Up It's been a while since the last horn-tooting session in these inches. Latest occasion which gets our verbal halo is a Sunday eve of this week bringing Carl Erskine and as- sociate to the campus. . . . Prov- ing to me that in the realms of the public-honored sports world, there as well does Christianity not necessarily thrive, but at least exists and exists admirable in the forms of guests Erskine and Robinson. Lampliters Holiday Operation Illumination gets a towering 20 foot shot in the arm with an additional arch placed strategically—or otherwise—at the remaining entrance of new South. Since a benevolent group of de- partees placed flourescence about the campus four years ago, occa- sional less handsome lights have appeared—here and there. We only add that we stand really neither here nor there on this glowing topic but to remind you that |$0?u$c» It won't be the exams that take the effort, but it's the permit that causes the worries. But after due promises, assurances, and a com- promise, the unpretentious little credit card is yours for keeps. Fickle Forecast for '57 Look for 1957, yet so fresh, to produce socially and economically a moderately stable year for most. Higher prices, rite, and who knows that better than Unionites as of January 1!? (Incidentally, we went ahead and bought that new Ply- mouth!?) The threat of global war, always with ifs, is not expected to materialize though ringing calls for peace will prophetically and cer- tainly be heard. It Says Here And By the Way, at a time of the year when taxes, teachers, and tests seem intolerably inevitable, remember, things are never so bad but what they couldn't be worse. Public Opinion SPORTS The Volleyball league ended this week, with the championship game played last Saturday night between the faculty and the bird-dogs. The faculty, again proving themselves the volleyball powerhouse this year was unable to match the combina- tions of set-ups and spikes by Kenny Dedeker and Bud Sieben- list, lost the last two of the three games played.

No games have been played as yet, but the con- testants are signing up and set for action, the deadline being this Sun- day. Although Ping Pong is not as- popular as basketball, the tourna- ment promises to be very exciting. Dear Editors: The student week of prayer has come to an end and many of us have renewed our dedication to God. We have promised to be true to the mes- sage we have. God is calling for an army of young people to rally together to finish His work. A story fs told about a soldier boy back from Korea. It was Layman's Sunday. Usually that Sunday brings joy, like a visit to the dentist. A good thing, but better to look back on than forward to. This year I slipped one over on them. You know Jimmy Mitchell, just back from two years in the army in Korea? I figured he would give Layman's Sunday a shot in the arm, but I didn't reckon on him blowing the place up. He refused at first. Then, with a funny light in his eye, he said he would speak if I had the congregation sing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" just before he began. So I had them give forth with song and then Jimmy let loose. He didn't waste any time in shadow-boxing. He waded right in. This is what he said: , "You have been singing Like a mighty army Moves the church of God. That might have been all right once. The trouble is now that just about ten million men know exactly how an army moves. And it doesn't move the way a lot of you folks at St. John's do—or do not. Suppose the army accepted the lame excuses that many of you people think are good enough to serve as an alibi for not attending Church Parade. "Imagine this, if you can. Reveille seven A.M. Squads on the parade ground. The sergeant barks out. Count fours." "One! Two! Three! Num- ber four missing. Where's Private Smith?" "Oh," pipes up a chap by the vacant place, "Mr. Smith was too sleepy to get up this morning. He was out late last night and needed the sleep He said to tell you that he would be with you in spirit." "That's fine," says the sergeant. "Remember me to him." "Where's Brown?" asks the sergeant. "Oh," puts in another chap, "he's out playing golf. He gets only one day a week for recreation, and you know how important that is." "Sure, sure," is the sergeant's cheerful answer. "Hope he has a good game. Where's Robinson?" "Robinson," Explained a buddy, "is sorry not to greet you in person. But he is entertaining guests today and of course couldn't come. Besides, he was at drill last week." "Thank you," says the sergeant, smiling. "Tell him he is welcome any time he is able to drop in." "Honest, now did any conversation like that ever happen in any army? Don't make me laugh. If any G.I. tried to pull that stuff he would get twenty days in the guardhouse. Yet you hear stuff like that every week in the church, and said with a straight face, too. "Like a mighty! army! Why, if St. John's really moved like a mighty army, alot of you folks would be court-martialed!" "That was the general drift," said the pastor gleefully. "Too bad the stay-aways didn't hear it," I remarked. "Don't worry. I have it on a tape recorder, and I am going to spring it on them next Easter, instead of the Second Lesson." Forward March! It was noticed during the week of Prayer that many of our students and faculty didn't attend. Is our church moving "like a mighty army?" Terrible, invincible, tri- umphant! There is something wonderful about an army! Kenneth O. Cox AlieA- Qn&deiattoi* Norma Wolter, '48, at the Denver Junior Academy in Colorado, made a short stop at the college recentlv while enroute to her home in South Dakota. Dr. Oliver D. Anderson, '41, a practicing physician in Florida, and his family were campus guests dur- ing the holidays. They were re- turning to Florida after visiting friends and relatives in Minnesota. Corinne Deming, '56, dean of girls at Sheycnne River Academy in North Dakota, spent the holidays with her parents in the city. Visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Church (Hazel Nel- son, 15), in Lincoln, the last of the month was their daughter. Mrs. C. H. Seitz, '43, of Staunton, Virginia while her husband, '45, M. V. sec- retary of the Potomac Conference, attended an institute outstate. Dr. and Mrs. L. W. Welch, '32, and '34, of the College, spent New Year's day at the home of Mrs. Welch's brother in Pipestone, Min- nesota.
