Chic mttrr UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, October 7 1965 No. 2 Social History Soon to Be Published by UC Professor Dr. E. N. Dick has a new book ready for publication. The Lure of the Land presents a social history of public lands in the United States. Dr. Dick, research professor of American history, ex- plained, 'The free land or cheap land was the magnet which drew settlers from Eu- rope to America, and in Amer- ica it drew them from the east to the west. "When the United States obtain- ed independence," he said, "all the land west of the Appalachian Mountains was declared public land. It was distributed to the set- tlers in one way or another. This book traces the way land was pos- sessed by settlers." The book was begun in 1948 when Dr. Dick received a grant from the Newbury Library of Chi- cago. He was allowed a year of absence during the 1948-49 school term to do research for the book. He worked on it intermittently af- ter that year until its completion in 1964. The University of Nebraska Press has accepted the work for publication in the fall of 1966. It will total approximately 450 pages. "It is a big, complicated sub- °"eers before government owner . ° . i . «KiV. was f>vHn(rnished. Snuatter: ject, but it has a lot of human in- terest," commented Dr. Dick. A portion of his year of absence in 1948-49 and several summers were spent in traveling and gather- ing material from all over the the United States. The records of the General Land Office in the United States Archives, Washing- ton, D.C., were of special interest to Dr. Dick. There he found hand- written letters from land offices in all parts of the United States Some of the general topics in- working on two more books, one eluded in the book are the survey- on a phase of Nebraska settlement ing and sale of the land and rea- and the other a history of Union sons for boundary disputes.

Ron Jensen is also the student conductor for the year. Several musical organizations are being planned. The College The Word of Life team, under the direction of Evangelist Elden Walter, will conduct the Union College autumn Week of Prayer from Oct. 29 through Nov. 6. Elder R. E. Lange, singing evan- gelist, and Pastor Cline Johnson, associate evangelist, complete the team. During the week all meetings will be conducted in the church, according to Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. Prayer bands will precede the daily morning and af- ternoon chapels. Prayer band lead- ers are being selected from the student body by the MV officers. Evening meetings are at 6:40, with the exception of the usual 7:45 p.m. Friday Vesper Hour. Dr. Caviness stated, "The Word of Life group is working as the Dr. E. N.

Mrs. Siwundhla related the story of her childhood and her appear- ance on the Ralph Edwards' "This Is Your Life" television program to a capacity audience in the col- lege auditorium. The evening was climaxed when a representative of the Pacific Press Publishing Association surprised Mrs. Siwundhla with the first printed copy of her autobiography. Two hand-bound copies of the book entitled Alice-Princess had been sent to Mr. Vernon Toolcy of the Nebraska Book and Bible House. The second copy was auto- graphed by Mrs. Siwundhla and presented to the Union College Library. Bible Conference in Rockies Promotes Spiritual Growth ship was extinguished." Squatters during that time rushed onto the land, dug the gold and other min- erals on government land and cut the timber. In so doing they mate- rially reduced the value of the land and left it in a depreciated state for succeeding settlers. Seven other books dealing with various aspects of American history have previously been written by Dr. Dick. Most of the work is a re- sult of the five grants he has re- ceived since 1937.

It began Wednesday, Oct. 6, and will continue to Sunday morning, Oct. 10. The object of this Bible confer- ence, which is to be held every other year, is to strengthen the spir- itual aspects of the college and academy campuses of the Central Union. This is to be accomplished by inviting students from the var- ious academies and Union College to half a week of Bible study and spiritual emphasis. It is hoped that these students will spread the in- fluence of the Bible conference among dieir fellow students. Approximately 120 students are attending this Bible conference, 10 per cent of the student bodies from the academies (these are picked from the junior and senior classes), and 30 students from the college. The students picked are considered leaders, although not necessarily students who are holding office. Elder Ralph Watts is the speaker for the evening meetings. Others attending include Elder John Han- cock. Elder Leonard Hare, Elder C. M. Maxwell, Dr. S. E. Gascay, Dr. R. W. Fowler, Elder R. H. Nightingale. Elder Paul De Boov, the state conference presidents, academy principals, and Bible teachers. Some of these will speak at the meetings. Read, Ask, Pray The Biblo conference will be followed up on the academy cam- puses by various means. A booklet. Campus Contact with Christ, will be brought to the campuses. Its theme is "Read, Ask, Pray." Week- ly topics for study have been plan- ned, and the students will "read" about these topics, "ask" them- selves about their relationship to these topics, and then "pray" to bring about the desired effect. It is possible that the academy students who attend will also pre- sent talks during their chapels. Twelve topics have been chosen so far, and more will be chosen, de- pending on the success of the pro- gram to lie carried out following the conference. College Follow-up The follow-up on UC's campus has not been finally decided on. It may be carried out through the dorm representatives of the MV or possibly woven into the Mid-day Meditations program. The conference will be held at Glacier View Camp, the Junior Camp of the Colorado Conference. Students Canvass 12,500 Mi. For Missions Promotions Day Union College students will cov- er an area of 12,500 square miles soliciting funds for missions on Oct. 20, Missions Promotion Day. "One hundred per cent of the student body has been invited to be a faculty or student sponsor. Under each sponsor is a student leader in charge of getting four or five other students to complete the one-car band. Elder R. F. Correia, a church Master Guides Stress Aspect Of Practical MV Leadership Players, a six member group, has already been organized. The mem- bers are Barbara Favorito, Susan Brown, Rosemary Patton, Doug Hill, Larry Crawford, and Bud Trotter. Future plans include a trumpet trio, a trombone trio, and a saxophone quartet. The tentative date, April 23, has been set for the band tour. Dr. Hill stated that more trom- bones could be used, but that he is pleased with the better balance that the enlarged woodwind sec- tion has provided. Evangelism Team to Conduct Upcoming Week of Prayer The Master Guide club will be- gin its year of leadership training activities at the MV meeting, Oct. 15. The club this year is under the leadership of Gayland Richardson and Ed Sharpe, senior theology majors. Marvin Ponder, senior the- ology major, is assisting. Miss Chloe Foutz, assistant librarian, is the faculty sponsor. According to Richardson, "Mas- ter Guides is basically a program for training leaders, both junior and senior, and the purpose this year is not just to learn about cats, but to learn practical things." Some of these practical projects, said Richardson, will include learn- ing how to speak in front of an audience, telling stories, and learn- ing the psychology of getting a group to do what you want it to do. One project that might be work- ed on is a class in conducting. The big Master Guide event of the year, the weekend campout, is still in the planning stages. The leaders are trying to work out a different type of campout this year, hoped to be the best one yet. The club will be working in co- operation with odier clubs and de- partments and also with the Col- lege View SDA Church to impart this practical training, and also to try out the theories which have been learned. Richardson wants to get as manv interested and started diis year as possible so that next school year a large investiture service can be held. participate in this annual one-day Past°r from Cheyenne, Wyo., will be here the weekend preceding In- gathering.

President R. W. Fowler explained, "They are going to be in the Union the rest of '65 and throughout '66." Elder Walter and the Word of Life team recently visited South America. Prior to this, Elder Wal- ter spent four months on a world tour, traveling extensively in the Middle East and Bible lands. Elder W a It e r has conducted seventy-s even evangelistic cam- paigns. He was the first in the world to use an airitoriuni for pub- lic meetings of any kind. A graduate of Walla Walla Col- lege, Elder Walter majored in Bib- lical languages. His daughter, Gar- lyn, is presently attending Union College as a freshman. Students Go on Saturday Night Safari Cleveland Grant will make his initial appearance on campus with his color film lecture "Camera Gunning Across Africa" Saturday evening. Mr. Grant has been making pic- tures of the wildlife of North America for 30 years. Ilis main ob- jective in filming is to record die mating and fighting scenes of an- imals. In 1964 Mr. Grant went on a one-man safari across central and southern Africa. His safari took him across areas of Mozambique where the game still roams as it did a thousand years ago. He also visited some of the great game ranches- Buffalo Range. Henderson Ranch, and Lochinvar—to shoot pictures of antelope and buffalo. Next weic the famous bird concentration flats on the Kafue River where he film- ed 40 species of birds. His wife. Ruth, who usually helps out with the lectures and sometimes goes on shooting trips with Mr. Grant, helped to select the best 3200 of his 16,000 feet of African film. The resulting liour- and-a-half film is full of adven- ture, travel and intimate scenes of wildlife. Clcvclond Grant, photographer and lecturer, shoots the big game of Africa from the back of his pickup truck. 2 CLOCK TOWER October 21, 1965 WHICH IS IT?

OL3 OF NEBRASKA HAS MORE OF EVC8YTHIK5 New Cover Enlivens Peanut Hill The 1965 Peanut Hill Populace was presented to the student body during last Friday's ASB convoca- tion. The most noticeable change in the new book is the cover. Al- though the size of the book is slightly larger, the basic pattern lias remained the same. Editor George Dashner and his assistant, Terry Dietrich, feel that the art work is the most outstand- ing part of the new Peanut Hill. "Don Sauser, the art editor, has done a tremendous job," explained Dashner. "The modern art designs that have identified the previous books have been replaced by an official coat of arms for 'King Pea- nut.' " The old medieval theme of the Peanut Hill is also unique. Suc- ceeding die '64 German headings and style are old English tides from the days of the kings, queens, and castles. The cover design is from the seals of old English mon- archs. Also the staff page is def- initely influenced by the same idea. "The purpose of the Peanut Hill Populace is to help the students to get better acquainted with each other," commented Dashner. "So. let's take our Peanut Hills and get busyl" College Campus Protected By Revised Lock System The procedure for receiving a new key is as follows: (1) Ask the accounting office for a key card.

'Old 3a.ithfjul' ZJolL MO More Student Council at Stalemate The Student Council met yesterday for the first time this year. School was almost three weeks old. This organization is the guiding force behind the ASB and its work- ing organization. Why has there been such a delay? Explanations reveal this story. The stu- dent council lacks its four at-large mem- bers and can't meet without them, we're told. Why haven't they been selected? The Nominations and Elections Committee se- lects these people and refers them to the students for a vote. But the Nominations and Elections Committee hadn't been cho- sen yet. Why not? The Student Council is sup- posed to handle this assignment, but they hadn't met yet because. . . . Sounds a lot like a circle, doesn't it? But this vicious ring can be broken. This problem will continue to confront new stu- ent governments. Why not let a nucleus of students be cho- sen for the Nominations and Elections Committee, say 10 of its 12 members, in May of the previous year? These members could dien begin functioning immediately in September. An active program could be established immediately. The 1964-65 Student Council could have selected this year's Nominations and Elec- tions committee personnel. The 1965-66 Student council should select next year's Nominations and Elections committee mem- bers this May. This will help the ASB im- prove its working program and help achieve a greater continuity. The newspaper, yearbook, and student government officers are chosen this early. Why not elevate the Nominations and Elec- tions Committee, especially with its im- portant work of selecting future ASB lead- ers, to this plane by choosing them the pre- vious spring? Uninvited Guest The class began in the usual way. First, a quiz or handing in the homework. But, where was He? Was He going to be late? Was something the matter? The class continued. An occasional yawn or whisper broke the monotony. The boy in the front row chewed on his pencil very industriously as he followed the teacher. Most of the s t u d e n t s listened to the teacher as he lectured. Once in a while someone asked a question or made a com- ment. All the chairs were filled, but He wasn't there. What could be the matter? The teacher gave a stiff assignment dur- ing the few minutes remaining. It was a drowsy day and the ringing of the bell startled a few students. Most of them were ready, though, and the classroom soon emptied. Why hadn't He come? Few missed His presence but there were some, some who cared, some who wondered, some who wished He had been there. A short invitation at the beginning of the class would have sufficed. He had knocked at the door but no one had heard Him, there was no invitation extended. Why? The Task of 1965-66; Will You Help? Words and pictures introduced the ASB leaders to the students at chapel last Fri- day. The MV officers were introduced to the students at the rally weekend. Before these two dozen people is the job of leading over 1000 students. It is a monumental task capable of infinite good and infinite harm. These young men and women will control the activities of the students almost as much as the administra- tion and faculty. Student leadership and in- fluence is not as assertive, but it is as real. Plans have been made, constructive plans which will engage students in soul-winning activities, in a many-faceted social pro- gram, and in school life. But plans are not enough. Only active administration that can organize a program effectively can hope to gain the confidence and support of its members. So it is with the CLOCK TOWER. It can only be as helpful to the students as they make it. The editorial staff can report the news, give reports of individuals and events, but it cannot report the feelings of the students without some idea of what these are. Many avenues are open for exchange of ideas. Discuss thoughts with the editors, write letters to the editor, offer opinion columns. All readers can contribute to the worth of the CLOCK TOWER in this manner. All readers includes our subscribers. Nor are these methods limited to helping the CLOCK TOWER. Any organization needs to know the position of its members. Talk to the ASB officers or the MV officers. Of- ficers of any club or group on campus are happy to hear these comments. 1965-66 could be a year to remember at Union College. Will you help make it that way? * ' .» ... — • ...... it-.:.; You gotta admit—when the Clock Tower prints something, it's a fact. Study of Soviet Paper Judged 'Enlightening' ^••• by Miko It is my special interest to read the newspapers and magazines of foreign nations—especially those of Central and Eastern Europe. Sev- eral months ago, I met with an is- sue of the Soviet Weekly, an Eng- lish-language newspaper sponsored by the Russian Embassy in Lon- don. This subtle voice of the USSR is layed out similar to the National Observer, but with a noticeable lack of advertisement. The copy ranges broadly from literature and language to Soviet political and cultural achievements. The weekly is definitely geared to all age- groups. A short-short story—in the Aesop style—is addressed to the child. However, the tale is more than just Aesop entertainment and moraliza- tion. Is it not strange that bear serves as the symbol of Russia— and as the "admirer of beaut)'?" Hero is the story: The Bear, the Wolf and the Butterfly "One day a bear was chatting with a wolf when a butterfly set- tled on a blossoming shrub just above their heads. " 'See how beautiful she is I* " ex- claimed die bear, admiring die butterfly's graceful movements and the lovely patterns traced on her wings. " 'Beautiful?' asked the wolf. 'I don't think sol' "The bear was astonished. 'How can you help admiring such light- ness and grace? What, then, is your idea of beauty?" " 'Well,' replied the wolf, 'a lit- tle while ago I saw a fat sheep McGuckin grazing in a meadow. That was real beauty!' " 'I think I see what you mean,' said the bear sadly." The Soviet Weekly encourages the study of languages—printing the "Letters to die Editor" in the tongue of "All the Russians." How- ever. the sole letter is a week-bv- week continuation with most of the usual apparatus for language study. The excerpt below is quite ideal- istic, and may have come from a youth inside the Soviet Union. Needless to say, it is creative, and quite emotional. "I happened one day to visit die chairman's flat. The first diing that struck my eyes was an enormous dagger mounted in silver, hanging on the wall. "I learned later that this dagger had played not an unimportant part in die chairman's life. The ku- laks had lopped off his left arm with diis weapon, gouged out his eye, and slashed his face. "When I looked lat the chair- man he made me think of a mightv cedar of the Taiga. "The angry winds tried to top- ple it, to break its boughs, but de- fying the foul weadier, die cedar stands firmly, its roots going deep into the earth." From my observation, the Soviet Weekly is not an inspiring publi- cation. I contend with much of the copy, and am wary about die overall tone of die newpaper. But die paper is enlightening, because it reveals the thoughts and behav- ior of a land and people who are often misunderstood. Smoking Torches The light from twenty torches cast a yellowish glow to the Union College cam- pus. I looked at the flame above my head. "Ye are the light of the world," Christ had said to his followers. I wondered if that was per- haps why I felt the prickli- ness of excitement on my spine. My fire flickered. The shadows leaped back and forth across my classmates' faces. Some sudden swish of air had caused the steady glow to falter and eerily cast darkness near us. But the steady glow re- turned once more. My com- patriot eyed the yellow flame. "The flame makes ine feel secure. It always burns brightest just after the puffs of wind, which reminds me of the Christian. His light burns brightest after trials." As he finished speaking, a small puff of wind cautious- ly whispered through the trees. The small puff which reached our prayer circle ex- tinguished the yellow flame as turning of a gas lamp. The ascending smoke brought mindfulness of Sa- tan's nearness even in these secluded surroundings. What, no opinions? Written, that is! After 30 Alter last issue someone must have sung "Don't let the Rains Come Down." Now please stop singing, "Let the Honey Wind Blow." We must apologize. Mike McGuckin and Sherry Tram- mell did not receive credit for their stories last time. Mike wrote the story, "Another Texan Looks at Lyndon." Sherry wrote, "Mrs. G i s e 1 a Willi Joins the Music Faculty." Such are the trials of a fledg- ling editorial staff. ©I01: Coed Predicts She'll Make St EDITORIAL STAFF Kermit Netteburg, editor-in-chief Bob Haddock, news editor Earl Cree. assistant news editor Sherry Liggett, copy editor Beverly Beem, copy editor Karin Neergaard, typist Juanita Bischoff, typist Mr. Veme Wehtje, advisor BUSINESS STAFF Eldin Ehrlich, business manager AJan Loewen, treasurer Dave Mitchell, circulation manager Mr. Paul Joice, advisor Second-class postage paid at Lincoln, Nebraska Published by-weekly by the Associated Student Body of Union College during tho school year except holidays, registration periods, and examination weeks. Also published once during lune and August. To a freshman with a fallen bouffant and writer's cramp, the thought of another endless line was agonizing. However, I continued my vigilant search for the infamous white, blue, yellow, and pink cards, which were assurance of an even- tual victory in the batde of regis- tration. Any freshman who com- pleted those four tedious days with the same major and an intact set of toes should be quite proud of himself. But of such things regis- tration consists, and thus passed the days which marked the begin- ning of a new college year. After completing registration, 1 came to the conclusion that if I had managed to complete that process with some degree of success, I could surely survive any type of scholastic program. With this aim, by Linda I launched into my college career. After four weeks of observation and participation and I might add a few instances of humiliation on Union campus, I am very happy to report total satisfaction. I believe I speak for the majority of us low- ly freshmen. I have noticed in these first weeks some various and delightful happenings that seem unique to Union. Heading the list might be friendliness. It is extended to each student, whether or not he offers his own. A smile and a "hi" from your lab instructor does wonders on the day you try to identify an air bubble under the microscope. Another fact, which is utterly appalling to me is the number of people that are actually working for my benefit! I am afraid not many of us freshmen have paused Brcnnen to express our appreciation to all of these folk. The list would be far too long to enumerate, but it ex- tends from the deans, the ASB, and all of die faculty, to our individual employers, our lab instructors, the ground workers, and very manv more people who are helping to make Union everything wc fresh- men expected it to be. The little extras found at Union truly help to polish a freshman's existence. Those that appear to be die most notable and important in- clude the indescribable tomato sauce which can be spooned over any entree which seems unpalat- able, the "rainy" season of Ne- braska, and the gallery of masculine observers who enjoy patronizing die benches between the Ad Build- ing and the Cafeteria. (I have often wished for a bag of peanuts.) I find myself delighted in being able to enjoy die landscaping of Union campus. However, I have not reached a conclusion as to the exact significance of what appears to be the remains of an abandoned mine near the center of the cam- pus. Ah well, perhaps all is not to be learned so quickly. All freshmen invariably meet a few problems, as innocent as we are. One of these looming contro- versies concerns the removal of saltshakers and the distribution of napkins. Fear not, for I have been anonymously given the secret in- formation that the former is the first of the two procedures. If problems as insignificant as this are the only ones which plague us, it is my conviction that the ma- jority of our class will quite ably endure the forthcoming months.
