C10C amet Vol. XXXIV UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, March 8, 1962 No. 11 Two Performances Slated For April Gala Festival Gala Festival strikes a new first at Union College this year. "Because of the popularity of last year's program." said Dr. Melvin Hill, associate professor of music, "the administration has requested both a Saturday night and a Sun- day night program—another first at Union." Performance dates, April 14 and 15, have been planned to coordin- ate with the annual Southwestern Junior Collega and die high school and academy visitation programs. "The theme of Gala Festival will bo 'easy-to-listen-to' music, and popular classics that are well known and loved," said Dr. Hill. "We invite everybody from everywhere," continued Dr. Hill. "I hope we don't have enough chairs for the crow d—but we'll get chairs for all who come." The 25 Festival Winds, led by Dr. Hill, and the 19 Festival Voices, directed by Mr. William Haynes, instructor in music, form the nucleus of the program. In addition six soloists will ap- pear with the winds. Beverly Keith, a freshman music major from Miss- ouri, will sing "If I Loved You." Saxophonist Wayne Rowe, a junior music major from Nebraska, will solo with the winds in "Flight of the Bumble Bee." "The Cricket and the Bullfrog," a piccolo and tuba duet, will fea- ture Joanne Klassen, a junior music major from Kansas, with the pic- colo, and Wayne Judd, a junior religioji major from Minnesota with the tuba. Marimbists Sylvia Border, a sophomore pre-dental hygiene Choral Nite Reviews 'Gay Nineties' Life "Those wonderful Years" was the theme of the choral night pro- gram presented in the Union Col- lege Auditorium on Saturday night, March 3. Both the men's and the ladies' choruses performed. Mrs. Shirley Holzer, instructor in music and director of the ladies' chorus, was tlie program co-ordi- nator. Mr. William A. Haynes, in- structor in music conducted the men's chorus, and Steve Gifford was narrator. The backdrop for the stage with a contrasting New York skyline background portrayed a setting in Central Park. Special hair styles and costumes of full-length sleeves and special skirts worn by the par- ticipants depicted those of the "gay nineties " A special feature was "The Car- nival of Animals," by Saint- Saens, which was performed on two pianos. "Estrellita" was given as a solo by Bevery Keith; Linda Locke and Doug Anderson performed "Indian Love Call." Some of the numbers by the ladies' chorus were "Someday," "No Man Is An Is- land" and "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning. The men's chorus presented the songs of Stephen Foster, "T h e Musical Trust" and "Yankee. Rachel Meyerholtz and Judy Thayer were in charge of the dec- oration committee. Acid-Blinded Journalist Speaks At NU Monday Mr. Victor Riesel, a journalist blinded by acid thrown by a hood- lum will speak at 10 a.m. in the Union Ballroom, University of Nebraska, on March 12. A recipient of the Chamber of Commerce Greatest Americans Award, Riesel is also a world traveler. He has interviewed such men as Dwight D. Eisenhower, President John F. Kennedy, Frank- lin Roosevelt, Sir Winston ChuTch- hill, Dr. Konrad Adenauer and Charles De Gaulle. He has also interviewed such communist lead- ers as Krushchev, Mikoyan, Patrice Lumumba, and Fidel Castro. Riesel gave his eyesight "to tell the truth as he saw it, as a cour- ageous reporter should." Wliile he was doing a story which broke the wall of secrecy on racketeer and communist interference with unions, a hoodlum threw acid in his face, resulting in lose of sight. The lecture at the university is sponsored by the committee on Talks and Topics, and is free to the public. major from Colorado, and Jean Ordelhejde, a secretarial science major also from Colorado, will appear with the winds in "Marimba Magic." Joyce Anderson, a junior music major from Minnesota, will ap- pear as soloist with the winds in tlie "Mendelssohn Piano Concerto." As a special treat for the younger set, Kent Seltman, a sophmore English major from Kansas, will join with the winds in telling the story of the "Three Little Pigs." Some little boy or girl will be chosen from the audience to appear on stage during the story and will win a special prize. Draft Deferment Tests Available For Students Application for the April 17, 1962, administration of the College Qualification Test are now avail- r!ble at die Selective Service Sys- tem local board at 208 North Eleventh Street in Lincoln. Eligible students who intend to take this test should apply at once for an application and a bulletin of information. Following instructions in the bulletin, tlie student should fill out his application and mail it immed- iately in the envelope provided to Selective Service Examining Sec- tion, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 586, Princeton, New Jer- sey. Applications for the April 17 test must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 27, 1962. "All Selective Service registrants who have been classified and who anticipate the possibility of request for an educational deferment would do well to take this test,' says Dr. L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs. "It is particularly advisable that those who have reached their twen- tieth birthday should take it since emergency call-ups, such as we have had in the past year, could easily come to their names within the next year before they have opportunity to talce the test again," Welch continued. According to the educational testing service, which prepares and administers the test for the Se- lective Service System, it will be greatly to the student's advantage to file his application at once. Test results will be reported to the student's Selective Service local board of jurisdiction for use in con- sidering his deferment as a student. Selective Service regulations pro- vide that an individual may be given an educational deferment on the basis of either satisfactory score on this test or satisfactory grade point average in school work of the most recent full school year. Sunday Program Honors New Italian Students A reception and get-acquainted program will be held for Secondo and Isabella Urbini in the church annex Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. The Urbinis left Genoa Monday, February 26, on the-- ship Indepen- dence and arrived in New York Tuesday. They took a bus from New York and are expected to arrive in Lincoln this evening. Secondo, who acted as a guide on the UC history tour of Europe- in the summer of 1960, plans to study for the ministry and con- tinue translating the books of E. G. White into Italian. He is currently translating the book' Messages to Young People. The Urbinis had planned on attending Union at the turn of the semester, but delays in ob- taining the visas and travel papers made it impossible for them to carry out these plans. Although starting late in the semester, Secondo does plan on taking some class work as he continues his translation of the White books. "We want to welcome everyone to the get-acquainted gathering," said Dr. R. K. Nelson, chairman of the Urbini committee, "especially those who have helped make it possible for the Urbinis to be here." While at Union, the Urbinis will live in an apartment in the home of Mrs. Marguerite Widner, as- sistant professor of music. Secondo Schreiders' Program Here Saturday Night Helen Schreider Frank Schreider Senior Exams Set for April 1, 2; Tests Evaluate General Learning The senior graduate record ex- aminations have been scheduled for April 1 and 2, according to Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. The tests are a function of die national education testing service of Princeton University and are used to determine die standing of the school and die students as rated on a national scale. Two tests will be given in the series. Sunday afternoon, April 1, plans to work in the College Press, from 1 to 5:30 the seniors will take A. S. B.

Target Teams Knock On Doors Again; Evangelistic Effort Begins April The College View MV target teams began a new religious interest survey March 3 in Lincoln. Mitchell Tyner, associate MV leader, said 120 students contacted families in the area between 10th and 18th streets, South street to the State Capitol building. "The purpose of this survey," said Tyner, "is to stimulate interest in the evangelistic meetings to be con- ducted by Elder Deming in the former Lincoln SDA church." The target teams will knock on doors every other Saturday after- noon. Tho same families will be contacted three time during March.

Special Problems Plague Student Teachers' Lives by Pat Gustin It could very well be that if Possibly you have noted them you are an average Union College student, you sit near him in con- vocation or right behind her in history class. You might have become aware of them on the days the chapel speaker fails to note the time and talks till 10:15. They are the ones who arise and attempt to evapor- ate through the door between 10:05 and 10:10. as the girls who range the four floors of the ad building in heels, and the fellows who appear "dress- ed for Sabbath" six days a week. It might be you have pitied the student staggering up the back road beneath 32 workbooks, or juggling a stack of shorthand note- books over one of the icy front sidewalks. On the first Sabbadi questions were asked concerning religious interests and a free copy of the Signs of the Times was left in the homes. A free subscription to the Signs will bo offered on die second contact. Finally, on March 31, an invitation will be given to attend the series of evangelistic meetings which be- gin April 1. The target teams conducted a survey in Wahoo, Nebraska, last fall. Five Sabbath afternoons were spent in asking people about their religious preferences, enrolling in- terested persons in a Bible cor respondence course, and giving invitations to the evangelistic meet- ings conducted by Elder E. V. Schultz. "Many persons became interest- ed in the Seventh-day Adventist church through the efforts of the target teams," Tyner said, "and the follow-up work is under the super- vision of John Sharpe." According to Tyner, a baptismal class is being conducted by Elder Schultz, but there aro still many interests to be followed up with Bible studies. He appeals to anyone who would like to help in this work to contact John Sharpe for information. a general education test that will cover the social sciences: history, government, and sociology: die hu- manities: literature, music, and religion; and the natural sciences: physics, chemistry, and biology. Monday, April 2, the tests will be over material covered in major fields of concentration. These tests are in the fields of biology, chem- istry, education, French, history, literature, mathematics, music, physics, Spanish, and speech. Those who have a major field other dian diose for which special- ized tests have been prepared will tolee advanced aptitude tests. The tests on Monday will be from 8:30 until noon. When the tests have been scored and ranked, results will be sent to tlie college, offices of the General Conference, and the student. The tests are requirements for graduate work at LLU and An drews, Caviness said. The tests would cost $12 if taken on an in- dividual basis, but the school can administer them to the group at a reduced rate of $6. Half of the fee is paid for by die college and the balance by the student, he said. "Objectives of the tests are two- fold," Caviness explained; "the tests are an objective evaluation of the college and an aid to the stu- dent in applying for graduate study and employment." Results of the tests in die past have shown Union to be on an average with other colleges in the U.S. Helen and Frank Schreider bring their color film record of their recent trip to India, "The Ganges—Pulsebeat of India," to die Union College auditorium Sat- urday night, March 10, at 8 p.m. The Schreiders made the journey by amphibious jeep—traveling a- long the lengtii of India's holy river, the Ganges. On an assign- ment of the National Geographic magazine (which featured their story and photographs in the Oct., 1960, issue) the young couple, accompanied by their side-kick, Dinah, the German shepherd, traveled from near the source of the Ganges high in the Himalayas all the way to its mouth in the Bay of Bengal. After months of driving along die Ganges plain and floating on its brown water, the Schreiders reached Calcutta, in southern India. As they turned toward their hotel, a guide approached and began the usual patter. "Show you Calcutta, Nimtola Chat, Governor's Palace, Kalighat Temple, India Museum—" Sensing ho was getting nowhere, he offered his star attraction. "Take you for a boat ride on die river?" "Thanks," said Frank Schreider. "I've just had one." June 10 Registration Opens Summer Session Registration for summer school is scheduled for June 10, Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean, has an- nounced. Classes will begin on Monday, June 11. In order to allow the teachers who come for summer study to completu their required nine weeks of study and still attend die Gen- eral Conference session, the sum- mer session will be divided into three periods. The first session of six weeks will continue from June 10 to July 19; the second of three weeks, from July 20 to August 7; and tho third session of three weeks, from August 8 to August 28. In This Issue KVUC Schedule, page 2 Sports, page 2 Skiing, page 3 Letters, page 4 Academy Musicians Coming for Clinic Seventy-five students will be on tho campus of Union College from March 15-18 to participate in the third annual Music Clinic Festival. Fourteen academies and one junior college from the Southwestern, Central, and Northern Union Con- ferences will be represented. Director of the clinic, Dr. Mel- vin S. Hill, chairman of die music department, states that this year the emphasis is on instrumental music. Activities will include special clinics for each type of in- strument, sectional rehearsals, dem- onstrations, displays, and recrea- tional and devotional periods. The band director from each school will have an active part in the rehearsals and clinics to help make this festival a success, Hill said. A sacred concert will be given by the Festival Band on Sabbath afternoon, March 17, at 3:30 in the auditorium. The climax of the busy weekend will be the Clinic Festival Concert at 8:15 Saturday night. "We are proud of our young musicians, and wc invite all friends and church members to support this endeavor by attending these pro- gams," Hill stated. Academy Seniors Visit UC Campus April 15-17 Academy seniors from the Nor- thern and Central Unions will be on die Union College campus April 15-17. Between 300 and 400 visitors are expected. The program of entertainment includes a production of the Gala Festival on Sunday evening and a banquet on Monday night. Due to diese scheduled evening events, die traditional basketball tourna- ment, composed of teams from the visiting academies, will be played in the afternoon. Kent Seltman, chairman of the general committee on preparations, said that a greater emphasis is being placed on Union College's scholastic program this year. RaSier than die usual tour of campus industries, prospective students will have an opportunity to be- come acquainteci with their prob- able major professors. Employers will also be available for information concerning pros- pective employment. Visits to in- dustries and other sites of campus employment will be on a voluntary basis radier than part of this year s general program. Other members of Seltman's promotion committee are Bob Tan, Jim Pastor, Jill Johnson, Warren Thomas, and Dian Brendcl. Each has the responsibility of a sub- committee. These will manage the arrangements for the banquet, wel- coming, locating, chapel exercises, and general program of activities for tho visitors. According to Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean and faculty sponsor for the promotion committee, the number of prospective students- coming during senior visitation days increases every year. This year, President Bieber is writing a personal invitation to about 120 prospective Union College students not in attendance at the academies served by this college. Information concerning these students was ob- tained from die student body dur- ing a recent chapel. Faculty Votes Tonight On Proposed Schedule Faculty members will vote to- night on a proposed class period schedule change. The proposed schedule, if passed, will go into effect next year and will allow for a ten-minute passing period be- tween classes instead of the five- minute period now in use. First period will begin at 7:20 a.m.; classes begin at 7:30 a.m. this year. 2 CLOCK TOWER August 427, 1961 CLUBLICITY TOT Club Changes Meeting Schedule Teachers of Tomorrow Warren Thomas, president of the Teachers of Tomorrow Club, an- nounces that from now on club meetings will be on Wednesday uvenings from 5:30 until 6:30 in- stead of the regular 9:20 period on Wednesday morning.

Business Class Now Playing Games With University ol Nebraska Groups A management simulation game is being used in the business man- agement class to give the student a more realistic viewpoint of how business operates. Dr. R. E. Firth, professor of bus- iness administration, said that this has created more imagination and enthusiasm among the students than any other teaching device he has used. The class has an imaginary com- pany with each student holding an office in the organization. This company is competing with iglit other imaginary organizations, from the University of Nebraska, each trying to soil the same kind of product on the market over a five-year period. The decisions to be made for the operation of the business are: price of the product to be sold, number of units to be produced, amount of money to be spent on advertising, amount of money to be spent on research and develop- ment, amount of money to be spent for plant expansion, amount of div- idends for stockholders. Each firm started out on an equal basis and makes management de- cisions at the end of each quarter Redecorated Engel Hall Opened tor Student Use Engel Hall officially reopened for use Sunday after nearly 8 weeks of vacancy caused by the January 3 fire. "Tho happiest group of teachers on the campus," were the words used by Dr. Melvin Hill, chairman of the music department, to des- cribe the sentiments of instructors moving back into Engel Hall from their various temporary quarters. During the past weeks, many changes have taken place within the music building. Architect Steve Cook, known to UC for his design- ing of Rees Hall, is responsible for much of the new look in Engel Hall. Improvements made include all new acoustical ceilings, colored to desired effect, new electrical fix- tures in many of the rooms and halls, some new tile and the lower- ing of the bandroom ceiling. Probably the most recognizable change, however, was made in the receptionist's office. Walnut paneling on the north wall and walnut trim strips over a dark green felt ceiling were added to the foyer. Yet to be added, according to Mr. Vernon Dunn, college business manager, is a new receptionist's desk and counter plus some drapes and other minor improvements. The entire project, completed at a cost of $20,000, was the actual amount of fire loss, Dunn said, and was covered by insur- ance. of business operations. These de- cisions are processed on a Bur- roughs computing machine at the university. The machine prints back infor- mation of how well each of the imaginary companies did in the market competing widi each other. Such information as sales, cash po- sition, profits, and net worth are distributed to die groups playing the game by an administrator at the university. Each firm lost money the first quarter because of too many pro- ducts on tile market at a high price. But this class retained the same position on die market. Dormitory Men Rally In Donor Campaign Men of South Hall and some of the faculty men have given blood to help Tad Achord, sophomore pre-med, pay for his reccnt lung operation. At last report, the men had raised over $300. The total cost for removal of a non-malignant tumor was about $900. In order to attend Union, Achord, who is totally, self-support- ing, was working out at the State Hospital. As soon as the students heard ' about Achord's problem, Ron Jen- sen, senior pre-med, and Dick Stenbakken, senior theology major, led in making arrangements with both St. Elizabeth's and the Lin- coln General Hospital for students to give blood to help pay Tad's : bill. | Stenbakken and Jensen said that | "special thanks ought to be given to the nurses at the blood bank and the hospitals for their co-oper- ation." The shadow of the tumor was first noticed in November. By January it had tripled in size. This was first noticed as Achord entered work at the State Hospital and took his physical exam. The doctor at the State Hospital re- ferred Achord to die thoracic specialist at Lincoln General. The operation was done on Thursday, February 8. It lasted two and one- lialf hours. Achord is back in the dorm now and has partially resumed his school work. Nursing Students Give Prayer Week Series The annual Student Week of Prayer was held by the student nurses on the Denver campus February 11-15 under the direc- tion of the Religious Life Com- mittee. The Missionary Volunteer theme for the year, "In Thy Hand . . . To Make Great," was chosen as the theme for the week. Topics presented were: "To Make Great in Association," by Alta Ginsel; "In Christian Experience," by Grace Lane; "In a Life Profession," by Barbara Dobson; "In Recrea- tion," by Audrey Krueger; and "I n Christian Maturity," b y Theresa Mattox. Ponder Entertains At 'Dogpatch' Party "Howdy" written widi ropes a- cross the stage setting, greeted those who attended tile Sadie Haw- kins' p;.rty Saturday night, Febru- ary 24, in the college auditorium. Costumes in typical Dogpatch style were judged according to originality and appropriateness to the theme of the party. The "best" dressed" man was Norman Smith; "best-dressed" co-ed was Linda Locke. David Young and Jackie Strolim were the "best-dressed" couple winners. These four were awarded all-day lollipops. Marvin Ponder, a student at Southwestern Junior College, and Mr. Paul Hill, director of choral activities at S W J C, entertained with western music. Vemon Usher was master of ceremonies. During the Sadie Hawkins' race the women chased the men across the auditorium. Kickapoo juice and cookies were served. Unionaires Share College Spirit Despite Rigors of Winter Weather By Kent Seltman My nervous eye read 2:46 on the watch and I knew the concert was at 3:00. I was literally sliding on ice at the outskirts of Ames, Iowa, with not even a good idea of the per- fonnancc location. But ... we made it. A trying experience is like a pencil under stress — it makes a more marked impression. And my mind is pretty well marked up af;er a week-end tour with the Unionaires. We left Union College Friday afternoon, February 16, under a fair but chilly sky and arrived in Atlantic, Iowa, cheerful and re- laxed. After our concert of sacred music, we were invited for the night into the church member's homes. A short night brought a quick morning and we were again on our way, only slightly perturbed by the light snow on the groimd and the paradoxical beauty of falling snow flakes. Close Call Then when one of our cars nar- rowly missed a fast-moving traffic signal post—on red, we were im- pressed with the fact that too much beauty, even snow flakes—is treach- erous. We drove slower and the snow came faster. But we finally arrived at the church in Des Moines with rare minutes to spare. Our musical efforts were rewarded with a "farmer's feast" from city folk in the church basement. Then we left our friends there to face the then raging winter fiend. Fortunately we arrived in Ames in time for our concert and then drove on to Oak Park Academy in Nevada, Iowa. After our secular concert and a basketball game at the academy, we took the dare and started home in die blizzard. The temperature was only slightly below freezing and we also felt security in travel- ing together. Guiding Hand Zero visability and the blowing snow made travel slow. The snow- plastered road signs gave poor dir- ections and we were confused often and lost once. Ready for sleep, we arrived in Lincoln at 7 Sunday morning. Now as I relive that weekend, I seo those incidents in a new di- mension. I see the hand of God between the car and that traffic signal post. UC Campus, Musicians Featured on K0LN TV Union College presented two programs over KOLN-TV on Feb- ruary 18. A 30-minute program was fea- tured at 1:30 depicting the various departments, campus scenes, and industries. The film was narrated in person by Mr. William Rankin, instructor ir| speech. The script was prepared by Mr. Vern Wehtje, instructor in English. The film was presented as part of a regular series being shown on KOLN-TV called "From the Cam- pus," which has been running for several weeks. According to Raskin, another 30 - minute program is being planned for April 1. The Men's Chorus, directed by Mr. William Haynes, instructor in music, and the Hartnonettes, direct- ed by Ruth Ann Hagen,, senior music major, were featured on the regular Sunday afternoon "Choir Loft" at 3:30." See us for Everyday Needs Rice Pharmacy Atlas Tires, Batteries, & Accessories RICH'S STANDARD SERVICE 48th & Calvert 488-9923 I also sec his hand guiding my car away from a truck that I missed only by inches. We were lost in a blizzard when suddenly a white car came and ask- ed us where we wanted to go. We told him and he told us to follow. Five minutes later we were on the right road. The driver waved to us and drove off into the darkness. If not an angel, he was a man who had read the Golden Rule. Living Sermon "We're about the newest mem- bers in the church," was the can- did remark of my host, Dr. William Shauler, a dentist in Oakland, Iowa, on Friday night. The story that he unfolded was the best sermon that I've heard in many weeks. "I was reared a Catholic but left that church for obvious rea- sons," said Mr. Shauler. "Then I started attending Protestant churches looking for the truth of the Bible." His search lead him to over five different churches. While studying the fourth Command- ment in a Methodist Sunday School class, he was interested in the Sabbath question. His conviction after study led him to keep the Sabbadi before he was contacted by the Seventh- day Adventist church. Now he and his wife, Carol Ann, his daughters, April, a High School junior and a potential UC student, three year old Cindy, five year old son Brian, are church members. The Unjonaires take Union Col- lego and a program to the field. But we come back rich widi memories and a knowledge of God that is never learned in a class of Bible study. Colorado Skiers Report Trip Well Worth Effort Skiers from Union College's Denver, Colorado, and Lincoln, Nebraska campuses met February 18 and 19 for the annual ski party. The place chosen for diis year's skiing was the Winter Park Ski Area. This resort has provisions for ice skating, sledding, snow shoeing and tobogganing as well as slopes for beginner, intermed- iate and advanced skiers and a ski jump. Thirty-five of the Unionites stayed in the Snow-Vu Motel in Granby, Colorado. The students from die clinical division had re- served the whole motel for the group. Sunday evening a worship was held at the motel. According to Dale Haskin, junior nursing stu- dent, some men in a nearby bar heard them singing "For God So Loved the World" and came to the motel to listen. They stayed to watch all evening, enjoying the party that followed. The clinical division of the A.S.B., under the direction of committee chairmen Dale Haskin, Jean Pine, Dianna Mackie, and sponsors Dorothy Martin, associate professor of nursing, Ruth Haller, instructor of nursing, and Mrs. Rahn, head of nursing service at Porter Sanitarium, Denver, did much of the planning and work for ithe two days. Says Mary Melsted, junior nurs- ing student, "In spite of a few casualities, such as a broken thumb, sprained ankle, broken glasses, and stiff muscles, I think everyone who went on die snow party felt it was well worth the time and effort put forth." Freshmen Consider Life Work Topic Freshman convocation, aimed at giving the young oollege stu- dent a broad orientation to college and adult life, is a monthly feature in the lives of UC freshmen. Topics aro presented to aid the student in adjusting to eollcge and in meet- ing responsibilities of young adult- hood. "Life work" was the topic of the February 28 convocation. A film, "Young SDA's Decide Their Work," was shown. This film fea- tured occupational choices for Seventh-day Adventist young people. Future topics, "Personal Fi- nance" and "Social Standards," will be presented March 21 and April 25. Mr. Vernon S. Dunn, business manager, will speak on March 21; Elder F. W. Bieber, Northern Union education secre- tary, will discuss "Social Standards" April 25. Over 300 freshmen have been attending the series on a voluntary basis, said Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. Wesleyan Exchanges Convocation Program Photo by Anderson Emcee Ken Hill and his pal Ronnie discuss "how to get to the top." Nine students from Nebraska Wesleyan' University presented se- lections from the music of Rodgers and Hamm vstein during the Feb- ruary 2.3 convocation. Freshman Ken Hill, a ventrilo- quist, and his dummy, Ronnie, em- ceed the program. F o 11 o w i n g the program, the group of Wesleyan students was taken on a tour of the campus, in- cluding the industries. Quite a- mazed at th_: large number of stu- dents who work on campus, the Wesleyan students said this is an opportunity they do not have. The group seemed impressed by the worship rooms in South Hall -nd Rees Hall. Most of the Wes- hyan students were interested in comparing the two campuses and mentioned that the UC dorm rooms are more spacious than theirs. Tu- ition, room and bo.jd are higher at Wesleyan, a college with approx- imately the same enrollment as Union. The guests had lunch in the caf- eteria. Not used to the vegetarian diet, some of the visitors thought the entree was salmon patties. Each year Union and Nebraska Wesleyan exchange student-pro- duced programs.

Basketball League Action Still Gets Top Attention by Dan Duff In the last issue, I made men- tion of the breaks we wore getting in the weather, and even thought spring might be around the cor- ner. Forget itl Put away the bat, the glove, the tennis racket, and put on the snowshoes. Head for the gymnasium. Winter and bas- ketball still reign. Action in the "A" basketball league has tightened considerably since last issue. Everett Schlisners crew received its first defeat. Schlisner's and Marion Pritch- nrd's teams are tied for first with four wins and one loss. In "B" league action, Bill Selt- mann's crew is leading the way with three wins and no losses. Right behind are Ed Connell's and Emmett Coleman's teams with no losses but only two wins. Improvements I see by the CLOCK TOWER report on the Union College Board of Trustees meeting that the ten year expansion program at Union in- cludes addition to the facilities at the gymnasium. New facilities are needed. I, for one, would like to see better locker room and shower room facilities. Before one of our games I left my clothes in a locker. When I re- turned after the game, I found them soaked by a leaky steam pipe. Someone, to whom I owe thanks, moved my clothes to another loc- kar. As it was, I had an uncom- fortable trip home. Another more urgent need is re- pair for the scoreboard. The score- board has been on the blink for several weeks, and the basketball games have been hindered because of this. It seems that something such as this could have been taken cara of sooner, thereby eliminating much pressure on the referees and scorekeepers and much bickering by the players. Muscle Men An intra - mural weight - lifting contest was held recently. There was a light turnout of muscle men. Several classes had no entries. Of the four classes which had entries, three had only one participant, and the fourth had four. The classes are set according to the entrant's weight, so that all entrants com- pete with persons of their own weight range. Three types of lifts were em- ployed: bench press, dead lift, and squat. Each entrant had three tries at each lift. The winners and their three lift totals: Bob Anderson (132 lbs)-670 lbs. total, Wesley Fuller (165 lbs.)-725 lbs. total, Henry Delgado (181 lbs.)-7 0 5 lbs. total, Dwight Mills (198 lbs.) —770 lbs. total. Mr. Fleming would like to see these totals challenged by others through the year. Come forward, muscle men.

You may even have heard the r action of her roommate while attempting to clean the space between these "files." It could be you have noticed the girl rushing north down Turner Turnpike at three minutes 'til 1 carrying those same 32 workbooks: or the fellow taking the steps of the ad building three at a time headed for those "special" class- rooms one-half floor above fourth. Maybe you've observed as the person who sits next to you in Life and Teachings class stares vacantly through the window, nib- bling his pencil, while on his desk lies a clean sheet of paper headed, "Lesson Plans." By now you've undoubtedly guessed that the persons being portrayed are the elite group registered for five or six hours of classwork known technically as Education 144, 155 or 175—more commonly as Supervised Teaching. Practical Education This aspect of teacher educa- tion is designed to make education truly practical. After three to three and one-half years of gen- eral education courses, psychology, specialized subject matter, intro- ductory education classes and special methods, the aspiring teach- er is ready—in theory, at least— to begin "practice" teaching. The novice enters his class- room with some fear and trembling to take command. It is sometimes during that first week (or hour) that he begins to rack his brain to recall some of those things he has learned. "What does it mean when a tenth grade boy whispers to his buddy three rows back and two seats over?" "How does one motivate seventh graders to leam the capitals of the South American countries?" "Is it really normal behavior for a first grader to lie on his desk and dangle his feet OPP'S ENCO SERVICE LUBRICATION • WASHING • TUNE-UP BATTERIES • TIRES • ACCESSORIES • HARDWARE "For Free Pick-up & Delivery" • Call 488-9903 4240 SOUTH 48TH STREET, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA Long Way Up-Fast Return Bookmen Conduct Annual Institute; For Novice Skier Nowack by Jane A few weeks ago I went skiing for die first time. Before that ex- perience the closest I had ever been to a skier was in front of the TV set. As we were snaking our way from Boulder to Loveland Basin, I looked out die car windows and saw on either side huge rugged mountains. And I began to wonder what I was getting myself into. The only thing that kept my courage up was the thought of a gentle begin- ners' slope. It was not until I had donned all of the skiing paraphernalia that I felt like a real skier. (Those jokes you've head about beginning skiers trying to walk in skis—they're all true.) I looked around for the begin- ner's slope and discovered it was almost as I had imagined. Jerry, who was to be my instructor, took one look at that beginner's slope and decided that I would rather ride the chair lift to the top of the mountain. I was not convinced. Nowack "Just jump out and then sit down. Now this will be the hard- est thing you'll have to do," he in- structed me as we passed the 'Tips Up' sign. I made the traditional three point landing. The chair lift is just several porch swings hooked onto a cable that travels in a long narrow circle up and back down the mountain. Jerry and I stood in line. I kept waiting for it to stop and let the people on until I suddenly realized that the people were already get- ting on, but it wasn't stopping. "Just put your poles in one hand, run up to position, turn around and grab the chair, then sit down. Of course, you'll fall if you think you are going to," he told me. But I didn't. As we began to climb I felt more secure. I didn't think about what would happen if the cable broke and we plunged down into the pine forest and broke our legs and no one could find us and our parents had to bury empty coffins. I didn't think about that- much. The view was like a picture of Switzerland. I would have forgot- ten my predicament if Jerry had not said, "Oh, I forgot, you don't know how to get off this thing." That did it. I knew that if the cable had not stopped for us to get on, it would not stop for us to get off. Music Dept. Recital By Senior Zenoniani The oollege music department presented Ernest Zenoniani, senior music major, in an organ recital, March 4, 1962, at 8 p.m. on the Wicks Pipe Organ in Engel Hall's recital room. Zenoniani's program consisted of representative organ works by Bach, Brahms, Langlais, Mes- siaen and Vieme. over the top of his chair?" But there is no time now to read an education psychology book; les- son plans are due, faculty meet- ings must be attended, quizzes must be constructed and graded, special instruction sessions need to be arranged for the boy who had the flu for ten days; not even to mention that term paper due in church history, reading report out- standing for American frontier or that 20-page assignment in busi- ness law or world lit. Astounding as it may seem, the casualty rate is low, and as the calls begin pouring in each spring, one by one the "practice" teachers decide to face tho challenge of moulding minds and put their training into full-time use. Now diat I was on top of the mountain it was urgent that Jerry give me instructions on how to get down. "The two most impor- tant things to learn," he said, "are turning and stopping." He explain- ed some high theory about turning the outside foot and lifting up the inside one. He mentioned some- thing about doing the snowplow which would automatically bring me to a dead stop. I prefer not to go into any de- tails of my trip down the moun- tain. Generally speaking, I took off with my skis together and pointed downward. The speed was fantas tic. I could never stop automati- cally, only abruptly. After untang- ling myself I continued downward until the next entanglement. Students Learn Selling Procedures Literature evangelism was high- lighted last week end as represent- atives from die Central, Northern, and Southwestern Unions gathered to interest and instruct students in the literature ministry. Mr. C. L. Paddock, Sr., book department manager of the Pa- cific Press Publishing Association, opened the series of meetings dur- ing convocation on Friday. Books delivered by literature evangelists have led the way for the work in foreign fields, ac- cording to Paddock. The representatives from the various unions were introduced by Elder J. F. Kent, publishing sec- retary of the Central Union Con- ference. Friday evening vespers was con- ducted by W. F. Crofton, pub- lishing secretary of the Northern Union Conference. He empha- sized the urgency and necessity of literature evangelism. "This work must be done now," says Crofton, "for it may be impossible later." The week end climaxed with workshops held in die church. Approximately 75 college students attended the instruction given by Mr. J. M. Jackson, manager of the periodical department of the Re- view and Herald Publishing As- sociation. Students were excused from classes to attend these instruc- tional periods which ran from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. "The purpose of these sessions is to inspire and encourage those who have been out in the past, and encourage others to enter die work and give them practical train- ing," says Kent. "Our motto is 'Train to succeed.'" When I reached the bottom of that mountain I felt like a rookie sailor who had just hit shore after a rough sea and rushed to kiss the solid earth. But you know, I risked going up again. Profs Probe Teaching In Seminar Discussion The Faculty Seminar under the chairmanship of Dr. N. W. Row- land, professor of biology, met on February 22 to discuss differ- ent aspects of teaching. The speakers—Dr. R. K. Nelson, professor of history and sociology, Mrs. Irma Minium, professor of secretarial sciences, and Dr. Richard Leffler, assistant professor of physics—told of an outstanding teacher in each of their lives. Dr. Paul W. Joice, professor of business administration, opened a discussion of teaching evaluation with his presentation of measuring devices used on other campuses. "The idea for die Seminar was brought up in Faculty meeting a month and a half ago," said Row- land. "It will give the faculty a chance to discuss the different aspects of teaching." This meeting was the first in a series of four which will be held this semester. Specials New SUAVE Shampoo $1.00 50c rebate coupon enclosed. VO'5 Hair Spray $1.50 with 40c Hair Rinse Free.

To Master Or Be Mastered There are many ways to look at the complex problems of collegiate life. Some can, and do, take a position of suspended animation and remain content or insensible to the things around them. Others, when they see problems or contradictions, re- act violently against any change. Changes require thought and directed action that bears a strong jresemblence to hard work. A variation of these groups is that segment of persons who would rather run away from a problem than face it, evaluate it, and try to solve it. This type of reaction makes progress of any kind an impossibility. It defeats all the purposes of learning. The logical way to overcome any problem is -to be the master of the situation rather than to be mastered by the situation. Face the problem squarely. It is foolishness to let circumstances conform a person; it is cowardice to run from problems when they appear. The mature approach is found in being part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Personal, active participation in solving the problem is the only safe and reasonable position for a college-trained mind to take. Building on the foundations of past ex- perience is one sure way of finding a solution to any problem. To rest lethargically on the foundations, content with the status quo, with no thought of reaching any higher achievement, is folly. The way problems are met is largely the measure of a man and his standards of thought and vision. Willingness to face—not fight, avoid or ignore—a prob- lem is a sign of social and Christian maturity. "Line Bucker" Check Up "Line buckers" have been mostly done away with this year because of the longer meal hours. But when the line stretches out, especially on the week-ends, this species seems to appear. The general student opinion seems to be that "it's okay if I can cut line, and I don't mind if one or two cut in front of me but when four or five cut in front of me, I don't like itl" Most of you have had the experience of getting in line at the end, then have a swarm of people come in—and dis- cover that you are still at the end. Everyone had friends standing in line farther up! Unless you are a very unusual person, you didn't like it. No one is going to say anything to you if you accept cuts in front of them, or if you give cuts to others in front of them. So we're just giving a gentle reminder that courtesy is due others as you are due their courtesy also. But, then, you learned the Golden Rule years ago. Just take a moment to check up on yourself.

Editorials Should Shape Opinion; Chapel Editorial Brings Reaction Dear Editor: You reflect majority student opinion quite correctly in your editorial "Free Period Versus Chapel" (February 9 issue). I do not moan to commend you for this. Have you considered the pos- sibility of shaping that opinion? . . . I consider the responsibility to be yours. In this particular editorial you have promoted a cause which has no justifiable defense. The particular issue of compulsory chapel is not the most important item at issue. I think it is a dead horse and there is little value in expending energy to beat it. Do I Have To? The form of the question you quote is significant. Why do I have to . . . ?" I suggest . . . that students are con- stantly asking that question about every conceivable phase of campus life where any element of authority is present. From one point of view this may be encouraging. Compulsion can be mis- used, and so the rationality of its employment should be constantly under critical survaG lance. But, the basic question is "Does a governing body have the right to compell?" ... If we could all sec clearly the answer to that question we would spend less of our time in uncritically whining about what doesn't happen to meet our whims and would have more time left to give mature consideration to the question of which authority we are going to accept in our lives.

S. Dunn All Things Work Together..." Even For Worrying Collegians by Steve Gifford Christians are a worrying group. They worry as to whether they're following the Lord's will. They worry as to whether diey're going to inherit a heavenly home. Students, in particular, worry as to whether they're following • the career die Lord has chosen. Students worry as to whether the man or woman they're currently dating is th- right one. Then the question logically fol- lows, "How can one know he's following the "right career"? How can one be certain he's going to marry die "right one"? How can one be positive he will have tlie privilege of living eternally with Christ? It seems to me that if God's will is so hard to discern, then obviously following the will of God would be a very impractical criterion for guiding our lives. Is Christianity in general, and the will of God in particular, so foggy we can't know which way to turn? The first step in logically ;mswering the question is to realize diat God is interested in humanity. The Lord wants to reveal Him- self more clearly to His children, but the veil so often drawn between ourselves and our Maker prevents His revealing His will to sinful humanity. When we can't find or understand the will of God, an obvious conclusion follows that we're not living close to the Lord, and a Satan-made veil his been drawn. The duty of the Christian at this point is to search his own life, pray that he might realize his mistakes, and find the cause of the separation. Suppose an individual is trying to follow tlie Lord's will, but makes a mistake. I believe that Romans 8:28 applies at this point: "All things work together for good to diem that love God, to them who are th:; called according to His purpose." And then Hebrews 12:6: "F or whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth." We may be following the wrong road entirely-we may be planning to marry the wrong one,-we may be pursuing a career exactly opposite to the Lord's will. But the Lord has means of turning us to the right way, provided we are earnesdy seeking to develop His will in our life,. He may have to chasten us to help us realize the way we should bo traveling. Christianity is a marvelous science. Every Christian must ponder his religion until he can come to logical conclusions about his beliefs. It seems wonderful that the Lord cares enough for us that He wili roveal His will in our life. That is the sweetening that makes Christ and Christianity worth fighting to obtain. Tills anarchic wave which is reflected in this question is ... a general at- titude among American youth. I be- lieve our own youth are simply letting this mould them. . . , We have to have law and order on our campus if we are to have a place where learning proceeds under optimum conditions. In order to have law and order we must have government. Once you accept that simple fact your next question will be "which government?" Students enrolled in a college agree to accept the government of that institu- tion. There is no more room for "Why do we have to . . . ?" This does not mean that students . . . should be deprived of the right to criticize. Far be it from an institution that exists to train students to think and not be mere reflectors of others men's thoughts to try to stifle debate on any relevant issue. But, the issue of whether we shall have government or not is not a potentially fruitful subject for debate. Shaky Argument Now, . . . tlie question with respect to chapel attendance, . . . the line of argument you take is indeed shaky. You do not think chapel should be skipped. You think it should be worth while. But, what is your standard of worth- whileness? , We might expect an editorial sbaff to have thought about this carefully. If you did, your thoughts led you some- what poorly. Intelligent, privileged, con- cerned young Christian students might be presumed to judge their expenditures of time by such standards as: 1. Does this advance my knowledge? 2. Can I use this knowledge in com- municating my beliefs to others? 3. Is the speaker well informed on his subject? I am sympathetic to anyone who judges any chapel, lyceum, concert, or other occasion on campus by such standards. These criteria are worthy of the crcam of Christian youth who know what college is about and are intelligent participants in the learning enterprise. Perhaps if criticism such as this were brought to bear, improvement would occur. . . . But, what criteria do you propose? Well, . . . you seem to accept the following propositions: 1. College students know what they like. 2. It is always best to do what one likes. 3. It is wrong to require someone to do what he doesn't like. You may be inclined to deny that those are the assumptions of your editorial . . . read it over and see whether these are not the basic root ideas underlying it. You say "anything that uses that much time should cer- tainly be of interest to the majority of the students." Top Thirty-two What shall be the guide for chapel? Administer a questionnaire to the stu- dents to find what they are interested in. . . . Then we will choose . . . from those which interest the majority . . . if we are going to do this thing right, we ought to choose the top 32 topics for the year's topics. After all, we should interest as many students as possible. This idea begins to sound wonderful. I can predict some of the topics al- ready. Among the top 38 would cer- tainly appear the following: 1. How to get a mate. 2. Specifications on 1962 model cars. 3. Who will win the World Scries? 4. Who will play in .the Rose Bowl? 5. Does crime pay? (Your editorial tipped me off here.) 6. Modern trends in women's styles. 7. Modern trends in pizza market- ing. . . . such red-hot topics as these might be the foundation for a new college industry. The CLOCK TOWER could tape and transcribe such dis- courses and, when published, they might be the means to crash the new paperback market, whteh is now open- ing in the junior high school stores! You bemoan the fact that there was a chapel program on Russian music. Why? I guess you took a survey. You proclaim dogmatically that the subject interested less than 40 people. . . . You insist on at least 400 people being in- terested. If such a subject cannot be found you suggest that tho administra- tion declare a study period. . . . I tend to look on this sug- gestion with great suspicion. Why? Let's look where it will carry us.

If they had that much experience they would have no need of going to school and colleges would collapse for want of students. The school has the right to prescribe certain conduct certain required attendance, and to provide those elements of the curriculum (in- cluding chapels and "lyceums") which its greater experience leads it to deem fitting. . . . Tlie college does well to take stu- dent opinion into account. But, it would be a sad day for any college if it adopted the . . . philosophy pro- pounded by your editorial: "I know what I like and if I don't get it I'll just take my play-pretties and go to the Chat and sulk." Editorial Challenge I challenge the editors of the CLOCK TOWER to call its readers up onto higher ground rather than consoling them that swamps are really very com- fortable. I am heartsick that modem students should be so apathetic to the great task we have as Christians, Pro- testants, Americans, and human beings that they will gauge what they will attend to, solely by their pleasure. Such an attitude is unworthy of our noble 70-year tradition as a school which demands tlie highest standards of ex- cellence from its students because it is preparing them for die most difficult possible task—carrying an unpopular message to a hostile world. Wake up, editors! Wake up, student body! Let's stop blindlv following the American odyssey of the self-centered self! Let's become pilgrims in the foot- steps of Him who was the unwearied servant of man's ncccssitij, not merely the caterer to man's wants! Sincerely, Sidney E. Allen, Jr. Associate Professor of Religion Do And Say Nothing Dear Editor: I have found die recent issues of the CLOCK TOWER to be about the best I've ever read. . . . Al- though I agree, diat Christianity and tact should be the rules in all matters, I fail to see that this includes sitting quietly and un- equivocally accepting everything. . . . To applaud what we like and suffer silently over that which we consider objectionable seems neith- er necessary nor democratic to me. For individuals or organizations who have had toes stepped on lecendy ... all is not lost. In the words of a denominational health magazine, "To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nodiing, and be noth- ing." ... the CLOCK TOWER staff might also take heart in the quo- tation. If that's the kind of paper we want—a do nothing, say noth- ing, be nothing paper—I'm sure the C.T. staff is capable of obliging us. But personally, that's not the kind I think we need and ought to have. . . . Sincerely, Myrna Kahler Sabbath Politics Dear Editor: The CLOCK TOWER is a valuable organ through which students can express thoughts of significance to all Unionites. As a family we endeavor to cultivate friendship, understanding of one another .... Our ultimate aim is to become better citizens of the land of which God is the Supreme Ruler. We, as a student group, are very fortunate to have foreign students among us; . . . they help us to achieve a better inter- national understanding. We can leam about their countries from them and they can learn from ours. To my regret, I must say that within the last few months we have become careless in our speech. Our tongues have slipped, and our thoughts have dwelled too much upon the political, econ- omical, and national objectives of the countries we represent. Even on the Sabbath, we have used places set aside for God's worship only and have given opinions that are very national and detrimental to the establishment of a good healthy relationship among the students. I . . . appeal to all students ... to represent their countries in a noble and dignified way, using the Sabbath as a national day for the citizens of heaven who glorify God, rather dian bringing out political pros and cons of each respective country. . . . Sincerely, Guenter Holzer
