The faculty has given ap- proximately $75; Rees Hall, $300; South Hall, $175; and the Village, $50. Of this amount $22S is still outstanding in pledges and cash vouchers, Mr. Jameson stated. He hopes, however, that the money will show up with the spring thaw, he added. Others on the committee are Richard Booker, Gary Bogle, Nancy Clark, and Dean Simpson. Postor and Mrs. Murray Deming look ot recorded nostalgia in the recently distributed 1963 Golden Cords.

Arnold Toynbee Scheduled Anniversary Speaker At Nebraska Wesleyan's Wednesday Convocation Angkor Wat Likely Stop In 31-Country Itinerary The Union College World Tour leaves Lincoln, Nebraska, June 11 on the first leg of the world tour which includes 31 countries and 39 stops. "Our only question mark at the present time is Angkor Wat in Cambodia," said Dr. Nelson. Angkor Wat was a temple city and former capitol of Khymer in the twelfth and thirteenth cen- turies. "For some unknown reason the inhabitants left. It was rediscovered in the late nineteenth century cov- ered with jungle and has now be- come a very lucrative tourist attrac- tion," Dr. Nelson explained. This is only one of the unusual sites planned for the tour. "We are scheduled to be back in the U. S. August 23rd," remarked Dr. Nelson. Flight rate and hotel accom- modations will cost approximately $1213.92. Meals, side trips, and visa costs are not included. LINCOLN, Nebr.-Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee, historian, writer, lecturer and world traveler, will speak on the Nebraska Wesleyan University campus April 24 at a public 75th anniversary convocation. Dr. Toynbee, known for his 12- volume "A Study of History," has entitled his speech: "An Historian Looks at the World Today." The convocation is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. in the Ira J. Taylor Physical Education building. The public is invited. Dr. Toynbee, a spry 74, studied at Winchester and Balliol College, Oxford, where he says he received an "old fashioned education in Greek and Latin classics." His interest in history was spurred while a student in the British Archaeological school in Athens. He returned to Balliol in 1912 as a fellow and tutor and taught ancient history until he entered government for war-time service. From 1919 to 1924 he was pro- fessor of Modern Greek and By- zantine Studies at King's College, London University. He spent one year traveling in Greece as a war correspondent. From 1925 until 1955, Dr. Toynbee was director of studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Research Professor of International History at London University. His chief work for the Institute was to producc in collaboration with his wife, Veronica, the In- stitute's Survey of International Affairs. From 1939-46, he served the government in a branch which ultimately became the research department of the Foreign Office. Dr. and Mrs. Toynbee have visited the United States 11 times since World War II. In 1956-57, the Toynbees spent 17 months traveling around the world from east to west. His travel articles, "East to West: A Journey Round the World," was published by the Oxford University press. Other Toynbee books include "Reconsiderations," volume 12 of "A Study of History," "Hellenism: The History of a Civilization," "An Historian's Approach to Religion" and "The World and The West." Dr. and Mrs. Toynbee are cur- rently at Grinnell, la., where he is visiting lecturer in history at Grinnell College. Truly Gala Festival Performed For Capacity Crowd In the evenings of April 13 and 14, the third annual Gala Fest- ival, a program "for those who love music, by those who make music," was presented to capacity crowds in the UC auditorium. The Gala Festival Ensemble led by Dr. Melvin Hill, the Unionaires undor the direction of Lyle Jewell, and student soloists performed a variety of numbers from the thumping of "Worried Drummer" to the lilting "Steamboat Comin." Highlighting the program on April 13 was the presentation of the 1963 GOLDEN CORDS. ' i li MMmiilMi"^ The conclusions to be drawn from this campus scene: (1) these students are not seniors, Sunday, and (3) it's.spring at last in Lincoln. (2) it's Five musicians will appear here Saturday night, April 27, under the sponsorship of the Artist-Ad- venture series. The quintet made up of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon claims to have reached a level of excellence rarely found among woodwind groups. Officially organized in 1959, "The Woodwinds of Houston" have been well reoeived in concert by such greats in music as Leopold Stokowski and Sir John Barb- irolli. The music critics in the South hailed their latest tour as a great success. The quintet members, all ev- perienced performers, teachers, and scholars of music, are Byron Hester, flute; Raymond Weaver, oboe; Jeffrey Lemer, clarinet; Paul Tucci, bassoon; and Thomas Newell, horn. With the exoeption of Mr. Newell, all have been faculty members of the School of Music at the University of Houston. All five have been featured as soloists with the Houston Sym- phony Orchestra. Activity cards will be honored; admission charge is $1.00. UC Brass Studies Certification Plan Study of a new nation-wide sys- tem of certification for teachers is scheduled for the special meeting of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education was held April 19 in Sioux City, Iowa. President D. J. Bieber, Dr. G. L. Caviness, Dr. Robert Firth, and Mr. Cecil Gemmell attended this meeting of the AACTE, a national, self-constituted group of most Teacher Education institutions at Momingside College. Union College, as it is now ac- credited, is on a state by state basis. This enables a graduate to be recognized and accepted of his achievements by other states of the same type of accreditation. How- ever, a graduate is not accepted and qualified to teach in states of other types of accreditation. "This new plan, if adopted, would be of considerable advan- tage to us since we have students who are teaching in so many dif- ferent states," remarked Dr. Cav- iness. "The new system would al- low Union College to gain na- tional recognition valid in all states of the U.S." Orchestra Presents Spring Concerts A wide variety of music styles was presented Sunday night, April 21, when the UC orchestra played its annual spring concert. Conductor Melvin Johnson says the music ranged from the "old mastors to contemporary." In- cluded were Hayden's Symphony in D Major No. 104, written in 1791, and Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna by Von Suppe, famous for his Poet and Peasant Iverture. Mozart's Trio in Eb featured DeLora Haas, pianist; Harry Bcnnet, clarinetist; and Melvin Johnson, violinist. Tho orchestra will give its sacred program at the Piedmont Park SDA church later this spring. Both programs were presented in Omaha on April 20. St-rike!

Rankin Produces 'Campus' TV Show "From the Campus," an annual series of programs aired by sta- tion KOLN-TV, featured on March 24 an original program from Union College. The "golden cords" idea was explained through slides and live dialogue in the Sunday presenta- tion. The program was introduced with a narration behind pictures of the main campus buildings by William Rankin who has produced this and two preceding programs in this series. Union College has participated in these public service programs since their inception two years ago by KOLN-TV as a station sustain- ing series. Hornung Hardware Hardware Supplies 3923 So. 48th DR.

Wiener's Texaco on 48th t Calvert Murdock One of Miss Howe's most thrill- ing memories is of a trip into Com- munist territory with a doctor and others to bring out an ill mission- ary woman. The trip took a total of six weeks, and included a two- week stay in the mission com- pound while the men visited scattered groups of our people. The day the men were to re- turn, some Communist soldiers en- tered the compound, examining every drawer, cupboard, and clos- et, and noting that the missionaries had a power generator and a ra- dio. Half an hour after the soldiers left, the missionary men returned. The Communists were later invited to listen to the radio and were trained in its use and that of the generator. In return for this kindness, tlie Communist general provided an escort of soldiers to the edge of Communist-held territory. Bandits were sighted only once —on the return trip—and were scared off when the soldiers went to meet them. When the CommunLsts took o- ver all of China, Miss Howe went to Malafulo Mission, in Nyasaland, as Director of Nursing Education. A few years later she was sent to Formosa, where she has served in the same capacity at Taiwan Sanitarium and Hospital in Teipei. In Taiwan, Miss Howe appeared on a weeklv radio health program and also started a weekly TV pro- gram just before her furlough. While on our campus, she spoke to several classes, to the Nursing Club, gave worship-hour talks in the men's and women's dorms, counselled prospective mission- aries, and visited friends. SPORTS Limbwalker Johnson Crowns Ridpath With 1st Place Bat The baseball intramural season has started again and it's time I got out the old crystal ball. After a few exhibition • games Gene Johnson's team opened the season with a 1-0 victory over Jerry Bugh's team. In the othsr game played John Ridpath's team beat Wayne Fleming's 5-3. Rid- path's team look the field in the seventh inning with a 5-1 lead but in a very short time the score was 5-3 with the bases loaded and one out. But true to his nature Ridpath bore down and retired the sides. It should be a very close season with several teams contending for the championship. Even though it's close, here's how the crystal ball says they will finish—first—John Ridpath.' Without Ridpath this would be just another team, but with him they're the team to beat! To have a good team you must have a good pitcher, and this team has the best one on campus. Besides Ridpath they have Nicolay at third, Gray- don Schlisner at short, Klein at second, Bischoff at first, and Priest calling the signals. For the outfield they have Deming, Bogle, Huey Anderson, Bob Wilson, and Harrv Rosaasen. This team has enough hitting, but Ridpath's pitching will bring them through. Second—Wayne Fleming—This team doesn't have too much for hit- ting but they should finish fairly high in the league. Allen, Knapp, Dick Laner, and Gnadt make a good infield but the outfield is somewhat mediocre with Leui, Howard, McGuire, Miller and Daryl Smith available. Fleming is a good pitcher and Helmer Swen- sen will do the catching for him.

They will have farily good hitting especially if Bartel can do as he did last year. Fourth—Jim Stephens—This team could finish much higher because they have a real good ball club. Rodney Fulbright is probably their best long-ball hitter, but they have several other good hitters. Gillan, Fulbright, Brown, and Gates make up a fairly good infield. Their out- field is one of the best in the league with Fortncr, Rutland, and Tam- men. They have a good pitcher in Stephens and Tunnell will catch for him. Frustrations, Callouses, Tall Tales, 75 Cents Worth Of Fun by Eileen Ross Like a flock of birds migrating north, golf fans head for their fa- vorite golf course. All shapes, all sizes and dressed in all types of attire they leave whenever time permits. Yes, this is the season for golf- ers and UC is no exception. Possibly special golfing courses encourage greater participation but for the eager student seeking to do his or her part of the fifty mile hike the 18 holes provide a thrill- ing and trying means. Foreign Students Aided In Employment Search New York—A special program to assist foreign students to find summer employment has been launched by the Institute of In- ternational Education, Albert G. Sims, executive vice president of HE, announoed recently. The Institute has established a Cooperative Service on Summer Employment and Practical Train- ing for Foreign Students as an ad- ministrative unit to encourage, as- sist and coordinate the efforts of community organizations to find summer jobs for foreign students. In announcing the new service, Mr. Sims pointed out that assimila- tion of the relatively small number of foreign students who need summer jobs should not be difficult if there is a united effort on a national scale. The resulting in- ternational goodwill will justify the efforts, he said. The Cooperative Service will: 1. Stimulate national support of the program; 2. Allocate funds to support placement services in key cities where large numbers of foreign students congregate in summer months; and •3. Coordinate available employ- ment information on a na- tional scale. Foreign student employment programs are already operating in several metropolitan areas, and the HE Cooperative Service will en- KUEHL'S Midwest Health Food Diitr. When in College View see ui for your health food needs Worthington—Sunnydale Madison—Lang Enos Kosher Jell-Marshmellowi Opposite Clock Tower Let us picture a typical Union- ite, Rodney Fulbright, clad in bag- gy bermudas, a UC sweatshirt modified by missing sleeves and carrying his golf clubs lazily over his right shoulder. At this point he seems quite relaxed, but once on the course his disappointments of- ten mounts to the throwing of golf clubs. It seems that Thunder Ridge has a small lake way off the fair- way. After a bad tee shot and a poor second shot Rodney blushed with anger, but the third attempt was too overwhelming to bear, and through the air flew the golf club —into the center of the lake. Fish- ing for golf clubs has become Rod- ney's latest pastime. Ed Connell who is an average golfer had an exceptional nine holes at Pioneer Park one day. Back he came with his buttons bursting and shouted to Grosball, "Hey Bob, guess what I shot out at Pio- neer? A tremedous 38." "Oh yeah, what did you shoot on the second hole?" Bob slammed. With a blurt and a sputter, Connell re- treated. Hey girls, the golf course can be a good way of getting acquainted, but don't get stuck carrying both golf bags like Kit Swanson did one day with Kent Seltman. For most of us the 19th hole is the favorite. Big tales are often told on fishing trips, but let a few avid golfers gather around the old pop bottles and you ain't heard nothing yet. courage similar programs in other communities throughout the coun- try. Foreign students are being urged to seek summer employment through local offices of the various state employment services near their own schools and to avoid travel to major cities where there will be job shortages. Suggestions and questions con- cerning employment and practical training for foreign students should addressed to local Foreign Stu- dent Advisers or College Placement Officers.

Whit- comb, Longhofer, Enochs, and Huffman will play the infield. Kel- logg and Olson will play outfield, while Griffin, Sehultz, Duane Smith, AI Thomas and White com- pete to find out who will play tho other field position. Schlisner is a good pitcher and Pritchard will catch. Look for this team to finish higher because they have the po- tential. Sixth—Jerry Bugh—Eddie Rosa- asen, Schumann, Tad Achord, and Kobayashi are the infielders while Widicker, Grosball and Ericson will most likely be the outfielders. Bugh will pitch and Shidler catch. They shouldn't finish much higher because they are weak at too many positions. Seven th—Malcolm Caviness— Look for this team to be the New York Mets at UC. I'm not for sure who plays and they aren't either. In closing I should like to thank Mr. Fleming for the work he has done on the ball field. It was needed and is much better now. I just hope that crystal ball is right. Windjammer Moves Out With Students On Board MIAMI—Students from colleges all over the country will take their studies to sea next year.

The fraternity members of a con- temporary university were having an informal meeting about their homecoming display. John Ken- nedy was speaking. "So therefore, I say that we should spare no effort to make ours the best display on campus." "I agree," came a voice from the corner, "but let's not spend more than twenty dollars," Kennedy looked as if he would like to bury Goldwater. "Now can you make a display with only twen- ty dollars?" "By economy and prudence," Goldwater countered. "Why don't you ever make spe- cific suggestions?" "I have." Half A Hole "Yes, I know," Kennedy admit- ted, "but we have always allowed more than a half-doughnut per guest at parties." "I've made lots of suggestions," interrupted Leopold Local (He hoped to become a member of the state senate someday). "1 sugges- ted that we hang the phonebook on the right rather than the left of the phone. I suggested that we check the lights on the chandlier every fourth day. I suggested that "I suggest that you put a cap on that ratcheting gasbag of yours and by Norman Smith not say another word for the rest of the night," growled Johnson. "You produce more hot air than Gramy O'Leaiy's cow." Since that nut and Kennedy have come, we've had to empty the sug- gestion box every day," Goldwater observed. "I say," counseled Rockefeller, "let's spend as much as we like, but let's think of some project we can do to pay for things." Eyes of Texas "I have a friend named Billy with lots of ideas," beamed Orville Freeman. Nobody seemed inclined to work though, and most of them consen- ted when Kennedy volunteered to work out the financial problem himself. Leopold piped up again. "What- ever we make let's put a hat on it." Just then Ulbricht, the pledge on duty, came in. "The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity want to know if we would like to make one bigger display for both of our houses." "Neverl" fulminated de Gaulle in a manner befitting Jupiter. "That would not bring due honor to our fraternity." "You can leave now Ulbricht," interrupted Krushchev. "You don't have to tell me, I'm already going." "Charles, you are vain," said Johnson. "Johnson you better shut up," Nixon declared. "You stir up nothing but contention. I challenge Here now, There then by Beverly Fisher Concentrations What?

"So what, I've saved enough of them to last me a lifetime now." Cry Baby, Cry Baby Actually the group knew that Charles would make life miserable if he didn't have his way. They finally agreed not to help Lambda Chi Alpha. The conversation shifted back to what to make for a display. McNa- mara suggested, "Whatever we have, let's make it so we can change it to something else so we give ourselves a choice in case someone else decides to make the same thing we do." It was Konrad Adenauer who brought his tact into play, recon- ciled the factions, and got them to agree to make the biggest foot- ball player that the campus had yet seen. "Khrushchev you and Mao con- struct the framework and cover it with chicken wire," said Nehre. "Everybody on second help them. Malenkov, you string the lights." "Who me?

"We are all doing equal tasks and we will all be happy." "I think Castro is acting very childish," said Mao. "What do you know about the war in China?" Castro sneered. MacMillan suggested adjourn- ment before the argument got out of hand. Kennedy remedied the financial problem with dispatch. P.Q. Public was the only really wealthy mem- ber of the fraternity. Kennedy found him a few minutes after the meeting. "P.Q., I need two hun- dred dollars." "The interest on your other loans is due today." "Could you spare 250 dollars instead?"—"Thank you, here is your interest." P.Q. shyly queried, "Say John, when do you plan to pay off your loan?" "That is something I have been meaning to talk to you about P.Q. If you would loan me one hun- dred dollars I could quit working for a while and use the spare time to think of a way to make money faster." The third night before tho home- coming, Khrushchev saw Mao out on the campus chopping down somo trees. "Mao, why are you chopping down these trees?" "To save money on lumber." "They are not yours."

This is part of what we mean when we speak of the "fall of man." We read today that more and more, women are stepping into shoes of men. Not literally of course, although statistics do re- veal that women's feet are getting bigger all the time. And maybe that's why. "We can do anything men can do." But it doesn't stop here. All the research results in the world cannot convince today's women that man possess sounder reasoning powers and a "cooler" head than she does. Don't ever utter "woman driver" around her or you'll be in trouble. At least you're in for a speech on how "careful" women are, and how careless men are. And as far as research is concerned, those guys don't know what they are talking about—it's all "rigged" to come out the way they want it to anyway. But I'll have to hand it to them. They certainly get what they want. A man told me once, "If nothing else works, they can always cry." Today the woman's place is in the home. After all, they need to come somewhere to stay ovemightl Too many girls aren't interested in making a home anymore. They all want happy marriages, but there must be somo way to get around all those unpleasant things it calls for. I'm well aware that there are many women who are really ful- filling the proper role of woman, but too many are not. Would the ladies remember that most men are quick to admit that women are indeed superior in many fields and activities? But isn't it about time to realize, girls, that the sought after "sweet old- fashioned miss" is more truth than nonsense in many ways? Zop Secret; Thoughts of a Girl Creature by Mary Saunders The Martians have landedl No This isn't a joke. Really and truly, there are people around here who have different-colored spiral ring- lets for hair covered with fine net, Their faces are patches of white. Most of them have no eyebrows. You may not believe this, but I'm looking at a whole mob of them right now. They are all scrambling to the hair dryers. "Ugh!

I'm necessary on campus anyway. "But this is vandalism!" "What is the matter? You scared of the faculty? They can't do any- thing." Not My Axe "Well, you can't use my axe. Give it here." The display was a success; the football team won. After the game, some of the fellows were sitting on the lawn and decided to get some pizza. "You go after it, P.Q.," said Khrushchev. "Why me?" "Well, you are the only one smart enough to remember the or- der." "Oh, I get good grades." "You can run fast enough to get it back before it cools," added Kennedy. P.Q. sprang away at top speed. "P.Q. is fairly gullible," commented Dag, "I hope he keeps good com- pany." As they watched him run down the road, some appeared con- cerned; others were smiling. A CREATION Many people reach for their pens or rush to a typewriter when o thought comes to mind. The result more often than not is tossed into the wastebasket, either with the high pitch of a basketball free-thrower or the intenso disgust of Dr. Reinmuth and his keys. That which is spared the shame of immediate destruction is a creation to be re-worked, re-read, and enjoyed again. In this the student finds relaxa- tion, release, ond sometimes just fun. Some of our readers submitted their work for publi- cation and on this pago we present a sampling. It's interesting to note that Wayne Judd wrote his soliloquy on womon beforo his rcccnt engagement.

Breakfast Talk Of the Future by Mrs. Thelma Daniels "I'm sorry, dear," she said to me, "But I sort of have a hunch That I will not get back in time To fix your noonday lunch. But I'll be back in ample time To fix your favorite dinner. Please say that it's all right, my love, So I won't feel a sinner." "Pray tell me where you're going— Perhaps you'll tell me that." "I'm flying to the moon today And Paris for a hat." sure glad Bill can't see me now. He would have a fit . . . Chuckle ... I think it's really rather funny, though. "Wonder what those guys are going to think when they get mar- ried and have to look at us girls all the time. Hmmm ... I wonder if 111 ever get married. I doubt it. No one has even asked me yet. Bill just asks me for an occasional date. Wonder if he'll ask me . . . I don't suppose he will. I gave him a chance but he was too dense to catch on. That's a man for you! They always accuse us women of being dense and dumb, but I'd dispute that if I had a chance! They always say women don't know how to drive and women can't fix radios or repair a watch. I bet I'd sur- prise them—all you have to do to fix a radio is use either bubble gum or bobby pins or maybe Scotch tape. A watch is easy to fix, too. You just tap it on the table and it ticks away again. Driving—well, all you do for that is step on the gas and hold on for dear life. And if you have any trouble, you just step on the gas and hold on for dear life. And if you have more trouble, you just step on that other thing beside the first thing you stepped on. Yes, these men think they have it over on us all the time. Just be- cause they know how a car works is no sign they know how to drive it any better. I don't care if the spark plug is connected to the fan. "Ouchl Ooo-la-la! This silly ma- chine is just too hot. Let's see here now, What's wrong? I guess it would be only natural to turn it to the right to turn it lower. Z-z-z-zl I guess not! Must be the other way. There, that's getting better. Br-r-r! Now it's getting too cold. Wonder if anyone else has this trouble? This gives me the shivers. . . . Oh! I give up! Dry or not dry I'm leaving! This ma- chine just makes me nervous!" In this age of rockets, missiles, satellites and space travel, why do we all want to take a rocket ride to Mars when we can see these Martians here on our own Union College campus. Death, A Meeting Place by Elayne Cowley Life is a running pace Death, a meeting place Separated by Mere elements of time. Alas! Our masked bodies, pace That infinite sky Where earth is forgotten As a baby forgets early life, As one buries a friend In a grave to die. Death without life, life without death, Terrifying thought, death without life; Those who have trod With deadened heart, to death's realm Remember both—if at all—not as a quickened pace, but as a running pace, Death, a meeting place. 4 CLOCK TOWER April 19. 1963 Editorials ... In the World, Not of It Do good Christians make good citizens? Is it paradoxical that a good Christian is a good citizen? Because Christians are "passing through this world" should not make them oblivious to secular activities. They should be aware of the government's functions and be cap- able of participating. This would not mean that everyone should become a full-time politician. However, it does sug- gest that we do more than exist as living matter without a purpose. Government is not some spontaneous illness that requires two or three doses of citizenship to cure it. Instead it may be compared to a network of mechanisms that necessitates a systematic harmonious approach to help it keep working properly. It may continue working, but not as it should. Two suggestions: first, become informed through radio, television, newspaper, etc.; second, use this knowledge when the op- portunities present themselves. They will. Because we don't participate in the governmental ac- tivities of a particular locality does not mean we are affected by the decisions of others. The law should not be respected as a place of refuge to defend one sacred right only when that one is challenged. If the law is to be respected as a refuge it should also be respected as a guide and a tool. Laws are made by legislators. This is where the biggest influence should be. You can put in people who have ideas similar to yours or you may try to get him to agree with you. The Christian life seems to agree with this. We try to con- vince others of what we have read and now believe is right. It takes reading more than that one chapter in the Bible to form a founded opinion. Likewise it takes more than reading one article in a periodical to be a good citizen. If the same approach is used in both areas a good Christian cannot avoid being a good citizen. Proportions Gulliver was a normal-sized man; some of our students would have found it necessary to look down to meet his eyes. But to the Lilliputians he was a curiosity, an awe-inspiring giant. Reason; proportion. One minute inkspot on a white sheet of paper draws more human attention than the areas of white surrounding it. We may report to visitors, our friends back home or our roommate, one character default of a teacher or UC student. This immediately assumes gigantic proportions like putting a dime over an eye and blotting out the sun. By showing academy visitors our social life without includ- ing a proper balance of the academic and spiritual may be misleading, so we personally must do our part to present a picture of Union College in accurate proportions. Naturally our college is not perfect; some corrections need to be made. But let's keep the defects in proportion and reveal an undistorted view. .. . AFTER 30 There were two conversations going on in the CT office the other day when suddenly one subsided; Ken and Russ kept on talking. "Yes," Ken said, "that's right, but if you make your own mayonnaise the potatoes don't get so soggy." We'll certainly expect some good food at the staff pic- nic, you guys.

Approximate- ly 75% of the merchants in College View are not Seventh-day Advent- ists. Is this number increasing or decreasing? First, let us suppose that this number has been increasing.

The girls on my floor had been suspiciously quiet. After checking rooms, I felt that they were suf- ficiently peaceful. At least they were silent enough to be handled with a shh—from behind my desk. Widi a sigh and an already tired glance at the clock, I sank into my chair, resigned to accept a night of placid boredom. The minute I was seated, hvo things became evident. One, there was an excessive amount of giggling on the stair mczanine behind me; and two, my chair had adopted a certain warmth and dampness that could only result from water. Hastily, I charged up the stairs only to find Bonnie Waterhouse and Judy Dahl in hysterics. At this point, I shall not relate my sweet revenge for fear of incrimination. Minutes later Kathy Gallemore came down the hall with a tall, distinguished-looking Lady who was wearing dark rimmed glasses and had her coiffure pulled harshly back from her face. Kathy asked if she could introduce her aunt to Carolyn Eberle and I nodded as- sent, cautioning them to be quiet. It was not until they made their exit from the room one hour later, that I realized that the dignified aunt was none other than Sandy Little. As if I didn't have enough trouble, Cherie Hadel returned from the library. Somehow, she had acquired the tail of a cat and rapidly proceeded to frighten as many people as possible with the gruesome object. I managed to catch her but not until she had thrown it into Carolyn Smith's room and had a riotious pillow fight with Wilma Kirk. (It is times like these that make me regret being a monitor, because duty prevented me from joining in the fun.) But, resolutely I straightened my shoul- ders and tacklcd the mob, dis- persing them at last with great difficulty. When they had expelled their excess energy and had re- turned to their rooms, I once again sank back into my chair. Now that I have confided some of my innermost secrets to you, I trust that none of you will ever enlighten Miss Remley about our activities on North 2nd. Otherwise, how will I be able to tell you any more secrets? Photographer Editorial Advisor — Business Manager - Secretary-Treasurer ..

The second supposition is that this number has been decreasing. What could be a reason for this. As SDA College View merchants move to other geographic areas non-Adventists move in and as- sume their businesses. We may forget we have new opportunities to witness for Christ. Let us re-evaluate our personal activities. When on die campus or in the surrounding community our conduct should be as Christian college youth. Those who work for these merchants should be constantly aware of their influence on their employers or fellow work- ers. As customers our financial practices should not cause disre- pute to our denomination. It shouldn't be our goal to try and take advantage of merchants. In our specific missionary endeavors we should direct our activities to these merchants as well as we do to other communities. Led i tors Dear Editor, I think commendation is due to Mr. Ken Jameson and his Student Center Committee for the fine work they have done with the supper- hour programs. It is most encouraging to see a progressive well-organized group such as this. It makes one realize that student organizations can be successful. Thanks again, Ken. Shcrenc Bieber Dear Editor: I, with several others, would like to compliment the editor of the Golden Cords for the outstand- ing yearbook presented to the stu- dent body this school year. But we are wondering why the "sloppy" system was employed in the distribution. It seems no one knew where they were or who was in charge of the distribution. Any number of students complained that the "buck passing" technique was certainly employed when in- formation was desired. Isn't it possible to place people in these responsible positions who can do the job? A Village Student Ed's Note: We agree that it's an "out- standing" yearbook and also that the distribution was not as efficient as in years past. However, progress means try- ing new systems; sometimes they fail, sometimes they must be re-worked to iron out dif- ficulties. The annual is cer- tainly a good one--when you get it.

To be able to write adequately one must have read sufficiently. Surprisingly enough college may be a little late to catch up. I was amazed at the "Index" our acad- emies have formulated and ap- proved. The American Legion may take a lesson from them. Censorship is wise if used wisely. Style, vocabulary, and yes, even ideals come from books; this is not plagiarism—I would rather call it creative growth. Unfortunately at Union almost no provision is made for creativity in any facet of the academic struc- ture. Reasons? Yes, sir. 1. Textbook lectures 2. Regimentation in the labs 3. Not enough provision for and encouragement of original re- search. 1 am cognizant of the many reasons for this, but there are a few on campus who would profit from a new policy. I would like to sug- gest that the English department take the lead toward a new policy. There are only two courses in the department geared to creative writ- ing: freshman composition and advanced composition. These are not adequate. What is really needed is the addition of a poet or writer- in-residence, like Vandeman n, to the staff. This is vitally important. It is mandatory that provisions be made for the individuals on campus. Individuality is a rare commodity, especially in our denom- ination. We come to college to be leaders. Leaders are individuals. Enough said. Witty, Aren't We? Smile, You're On Candid Camera by Jerry McManus Is the basic honesty of the Ameri- can college student going down the drain? I would have denied such an idea with righteous indignation, at least up until convocation on Friday, March 22. Now, my faith in my fellow students has been gravely shook-up. Or perhaps there was some mys- ter ious hyp notical phen omenon about the helium-filled balloons swaying gently in the breeze on the back row of convocation chairs which destroyed normal ethical codes and brought out the cave man in us. If so, then the twenty- five miniature blimps that Roger Anderson and the publicity com- mittee had set up to advertise the Junior-senior Banquet were doom- ed from the start. ECCENTRICITY by Ruth Wang "Union College is quite a school." This statement can be interpreted numerous ways, signifying either a commendation or criticism. Has it ever occured to you why Union is the way it is? Let us delve into thus matter and discover what makes "Union Col- lege quite a school." First of all, at the mention of the word "school," a mental picture of stu- dents flashes into focus. Since any school is comprised of students, perhaps it is the unique character- istics of our students which make our school what it is. Imagine with me (if you can) what Union would be like if: Roger Anderson lost his camera Judy Jorgensen didn't smile Steve Gifford had black hair Shcrenc Bieber didn't get straight A's Ken Liggett played the piccolo Duane Smith had laryngitis Pat Phillips' pencil lost its exalted perch Linda Pcyer played the tuba Wayne Judd didn't get his nine- hours' sleep and vitamin C each day Charlotte Lang forgot to say, "Oh, you make me so nervous!" Lcs Werner didn't dot his phrases with "no kiddin'." A Funny Knock, knock: Who's there? CT CT who? CT'o it that next time the paper comes out on time. What is there about a small red balloon with a few words paint- ed on it which in a few short seconds can cause honesty to be discarded like a Dentyne gum wrapper? Possibly some psycholo- gist might conduct a research pro- ject on the subject. For now, I can only report the facts as I saw them. Even A Senior One Senior young lady or- dinarily possessed of good judg- ment, was among the first to be tried by this character-twisting temptation. She veered out of her usual bee-line path to stop by the nearest balloon. After a few gentle tugs, probablv to test the bouyancy of the helium, she was completely subjugated and, if someone had not bumped against her and di- verted her attention she might have been the first victim. Tern- Campbell was another of the "bal- loon puller", if you'll pardon a small addition to your vocabulary, who had strength to resist. One instructor was the first one who actually attempted to steal one of the balloons. He untied it from its back row mooring and carried it with him a row or two and sat down. After a few furtive glances around him, he regained his ethical equilibrium and some- what sheepishly tied it to the chair in front of him. Most Wanted An ingenious female facultite solved her problem in a unique way. Established mores not per- mitting her to actually steal the balloon, she simply sat down in the chair beside it and joined the ranks of the "pullers." Then, lastly, I must reluctantly report a few of those who actually waded off with ballons, but I won't. But one of the boys actually grabbed two—he stole one for his girl, too. What defect there is in human character to causc such conduct as this I'm still not sure. Some con- solation, however, can be taken from the fact that after the convo- cation was over there were five balloons floating against the ceiling of the gymnasium. Either five thieves recanted or, more likely, five of them didn't hang on to their loot well enough. In the case of "our lover" we might, too, blame it on spring fever. But just think, all this could havo been avoided for two cents at Morlcy's dimestore across the street for four cents for two-timer.
