A total of 689 years of teaching service was represented for an av- erage of 34 y2. Professor Emeritus C. C. Engel led the group with 44 years of serv- ice and Miss Virginia I. ShulJ, Eng- lish department head, 39 years of service. Others receiving the service pins were Autumn Miller, Irma Minium, Dr. J. Wesley Rhodes, M. S. Culver, Pearl Hall, J. C. Turner, Ruth Hig- gins, Dr. E. N. Dick, V. S. Dunn, Marie Anderson, Dr. E. B. Ogden, W. B. Higgins, Pearl Rees, Dr. E. M. Cadwallader, Dr. H. G. Rein- muth, Winnie Turner, H. M. John- son, H. L. Keene. New Council Members Chosen for Sec. Sem. Members of the second semester Stuftnt-Staff Council have been elected. From Rees Hall the members are Donna Ray, Sharon Dahse, Erma Crofoot, and Betty Bell. Represent ting South Hall are George Fischer, Bill Hansen, Elwyn Rexinger, and Ed Lamb. Village representatives include Dick Jewett, William Swan, Jackie Wandra, and Betty Carlisle. The council will continue in its function as an advisory group for the president of the college. Its purpose has been to develop a clos- er relationship, better understand- ing and greater cooperation be- tween the students, the faculty, and the administration. It will continue to act as a representative body of student opinion in bringing speci- fic problems before the leaders of the school. The first meeting of this semes- ter will be held on February 15 at 4:00 p.m. President Plymat of Preferred Risk Presents Talk on Alcoholism Problem William Plymat, president of the Preferred Risk Mutual Insurance Co., presented a lecture on the problem of alcoholism on Friday, Jan. 30, for convocation. Later he discussed a good project with the ATS officers in the Green Room of the cafeteria. Plans were made to present to the Nebraska Senate a bill which Plymat helped originate. This bill lias been introduced in the legis- latures of several states including Arizona, California, Texas, Utah, and Missouri. It is an act relating to persons driving or in control of motor vehicles after consuming al- coholic liquor. This bill, if enacted, will save at least 25 per cent of the lives that would otherwise be lost because of the drunken driver on the high- way. The bill was placed on the desk of each senator of Nebraska February 2, and is being given careful study by the Law School of the Nebraska University. Lieutenant Governor Dwight Burney and Senator Orme of Lin- coln have given response to the proposal and have promised to push the bill. The ATS hopes that you will join them in encouraging your representatives in the backing of this bill. It will help to eliminate the drunken driver from the high- ways and save many lives each year. When only 2 per cent of the drivers on the highway are under the influence of alcohol and over 50 per cent of all the accidents are caused by them, something should be done about it. A copy of the bill presented to the Senate will be posted on the bulletin board. The semi-finals for the temper- ance orations have been postponed until Feb. 22, finals March 8. Pos- ter and essay deadline Is March 1. Literature Evangelists Conclude Annual Meet. "Literature evangelism is God's program for young people," de- clared Elder J. F. Kent, the pub- lishing secretary of the Central Union Conference, during the an- nual Union College literature evan- gelism institute held Feb. 6-12. Since people today are worried about the conditions of the world and are searching for the answers, the students of Union College were called upon to respond to the need of the world and present our truth- filled literature to the public. In Elder Kent's words, "We are living in the final hours of this world's history. Never has the possibilities for success in the literature evan- gelism work been so great." In addition to presenting the great need for student literature evangelists, the publishing depart- ment leaders gave instruction con- cerning the techniques of Christian salesmanship. Several films and demonstrations were presented dur- ing the institute, showing the prin- ciples of successful selling. Assisting Elder Kent were Elder W. L. Crofton of the Northern Un- ion Conference, Elder John Welch of the Southwestern Union Con- ference and the publishing secre- taries from the various local con- ferences within the three unions.

Dr. Vance Rogers Nursing Student Makes TV Debut In a recent television program, Marcia Petersen represented the Union College Department of Nurs- ing on the Colorado campus in a CD interview. A major in the United States Army Nurse Corps and a teacher at the Colorado University School of Nursing were interviewed on disaster preparedness and civil defense training programs. Miss Petersen discussed the dis- aster education program or Union College. She told of her training to teach community groups, to give care to casualties, and to pro- vide for the health and safety of refugees and survivors. THREE UC STUDEHTS TO SPEAK AT CEHTER A special program is being plan- ned for Sunday night, February 22, when three theology students will speak. The three speakers, Max Singhurst, Theodore Wick, and George Sharpe are senior minister- ial students. It is hoped that the Center ^ill be filled for each meet-- ing. Sunday evening services, direc- ted by Pastors M. W. Deming and W. H. Elder, are being held in the Center each week during February and March. Nebr. Wesleyan President to Address Convocation Feb. 27 Dr. Vance D. Rogers, president of Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, will be the speaker for the Senior Recognition program to be presented on Friday, February 27, during the regular convocation period. The senior class of 1959, consist- ing of 109 students, will be pre- sented by Dr. G. L. Caviness to the president of Union College, D. J. Bieber. Ninety-eight of these sen- iors will graduate on May 31, the remaining eleven will graduate at the close of summer school. Dr. Rogers received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Wesleyan in 1955, and last year he received the LL.D. degree from Mount Union College, Alliance, Ohio. Before his appointment as president of Wes- leyan, Dr. Rogers served as the pastor of Trinity Methodist church in Lincoln. Dr. Rogers also'served as a chap- lain in the United States Navy during the years of World War II. ASB Survey Shows 76 per cent Want Student Center Seventy-six per cent of the stu- dents present at convocation Fri- day, January 30, favor the install- ment of the student center on the Union College campus. Twenty-five per cent of this group would prefer to see it postponed another year. Fifty-six per cent of the group want to proceed with it immediate- ly. This would mean that the $1213 in the treasury now for this proj- ect would be used to purchase 4 couches, 24 chairs, 2 card tables, 1 committee table, 4 floor lamps, and 2 large hassocks. With the glassed- in entrance, the room could be used before the final purchase of the drapes, the Hi-Fi equipment and 2 additional couches is made. Nineteen per cent of the group present preferred to drop the pro- ject and refund the money. Continuing this project now de- pends on the ratification of a bill before the Senate which would al- low completion after the date of February 1, the original deadline. Success won at the sacrifice of friendships is failure.

INC CI N, N RASKA CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 Cincoln... Worthy ofEmulation Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of one of the greatest of United States presidents. The name Abraham Lincoln was in our earliest child- hood list of famous people whose pictures we recognized, and the deeds of his noble life are the common knowledge of every American school- boy. What, we might ask, made Mr. Lincoln the great man that he was? What were the personal characteristics that enabled him as a youth to endure tremendous personal disappointments and later to carry the crushing burden of a divided Union? Why don't we ask him? I'm cer- tain that he would have given the following pointers to students who are'about to begin their life's careers: Be kind. Lincoln's kindness was extended to all forms of life to the lowly creature stuck in a muddy ditch, to a small girl carrying her trunk to the train station, and to his army's soldiers who from sheer weariness fell asleep while on guard. Be sympathetic. As a young boy, Abe observed the inhuman treat- ment given to the slaves near his home and devoted his life to their emancipation. Be honest. The honesty that made him walk many miles in incle- ment weather to return the few cents' mistake he had made In giving a customer change won for him not only the title "Honest Abe," but also the honor and trust of our nation. Have a sense of humor. Our Civil War president was always ready to laugh at himself. His was a sense of humor that was mighty enough to carry him through early political disappointments and through one of the most trying periods in our nation's history. Have a strong sense of duty. An unpopular opinion is always diffi- cult to uphold, especially in a position such as the United States presi- dency. But Lincoln took his duty as he saw it, held firm to the decision his conscience told him was right, and after having fought a stormy battle, saw his cause victorious. Such was the life he left us as an example: a life guided by strong character traits that we might do well to imitate. A.T. Qood Work is Always Rewarded Now that semester grades are out, how do you feel? Are you sat- isfied with the results, or would you prefer something else? If you are dissatisfied, why are you? Is it because you worked hard and still didn't do your best? Or do you just feel that some particular teacher "just is not fair"? If the latter is your reason, and you feel that you would get a cer- tain satisfaction from "telling off that teacher", stop and think. Can you as a Christian take such an attitude? "The highest evidence of no- bility in a Christian is self-control." MYP p. 134. "All who profess god- liness are under the most sacred obligation to guard the spirit, and to exercise self-control under the greatest provocation.". .MYP p. 62. Per- haps it would be better for you to reconsider and take a different course of action. If you didn't do your best, quarreling with the teacher won't impress the course upon your mind; so why not simply resolve to do better in future classes? Here is some worthwhile advice: "Only learn to be thorough, never to let go your hold upon God, to persevere in His serv- ice " MYP p. 124. On the other hand, if after doing your best you still did not receive that coveted A or B, at least you have the satisfaction of having done, a job well. And you will not be unrewarded, for "The highest reward that God gives for good work is the ability to do better work",(as a cer- tain teacher wrote on her blackboard recently. And after all, isn't even the smallest reward from God of greater worth than the highest grade from a teacher? The school of life is constantly in session, and daily tests are being given. When your final examination is over and your final reward is given, how will you react? You will not be able to "tell off the teach- er", but neither will you be able to do better in the future. Your best assurance of a satisfactory grade or reward is to start immediately to work for it and to deserve it. The stars and crowns of the saved will not all shine equally bright, but each one will be satisfied with his own. M.A. creditor Dear Editor: I am wondering if you could help me a bit. I went overseas last Jan uaxy and have just returned. I need to get in touch, with Ted Wade, Jr. Could you print in the CLOCK TOWER for me: Ted Wade Jr.: Please write Wil- lie Graham, 704 E. Gibbs, Del Rio, Texas. If you continue to print your paper on newsprint, you should make the pages smaller. They are torn up when we receive them. Thank you, Willie Graham. Gentlemen: Next June wil be the 60th anni- versary of my graduation back in June, 1899. I would like to have the names of any living members of my class so that I can write them and urge them to meet me at Union next June. Sincerely yours, Roy M. Johnson Dear Editor: A pitch is in order for the good works of the Clock Tower, which generally has been well-proportion- ed, interesting, and informative throughout this school year. When the humble, "easy-on-the-eyes" "newsprinted" page provides a means for me to see the value of my attendance here and attend- ance to duties as did the January 30 issue, with the editorial "George Who?", then it also fulfills its place and purpose within the many- geared machine called "college."

This ship was not_labeled as unsinkable, but as "the safest afloat." It had been specially designed with the ultimate in safety precautions to meet the tests of the rough run between Denmark and Greenland. It was hailed as the means of keep- ing voyages between these two places on a year around basis. The icy North Atlantic has claimed its toll. The proud young ship with its 95 passengers is gone. A tragic event, we say, but what does it mean to us? This has not touched our lives, hence we fail to see it as certainly another demonstration of misplaced trust in man and his inventions; a portrayal of the un- certainty of life; and a proof that in God is our only sure harbor of confidence. Swiss voters in a national ref- erendum have denied the right to vote to women. It was defeated by a two-to-one majority. The op- ponents of women's suffrage in Switzerland cited the "mess" in countries where women had been allowed to vote and had assumed the same status as men. They re- peated the slogan; "The woman's place is in the home." As I see it, they are right to a certain extent. The right to vote should certainly be given to all women, but the place of a wife and mother is in the home. Today's working mother who leaves her children for that few dollars that will put her a few notches ahead of "the Joneses," definitely contributes to an increase in juvenile delinquency. Women who have insisted on adopting smoking and such things have def- initely lowered the pedestal upon which womanhood should be placed. Second semester brought many new faces to our campus and a number of familiar faces as well. A welcome and much respected group among them—Faces In the Crowd—the Senior Nurses. Feature Focus Pastor Radiates Friendliness by Marvel Jensen This column has caught in focus the pastor of our College View Church, Murray Deming. Many of us, coming into the large, sometimes outwardly imper- sonal church, soon feel right at home and that's because of this man who greets us like long-lost friends and somehow seems never to get first names confused. This way of his—warm, friendly and never putting himself in a robe which separates him from his flock—has endeared Elder Deming to young and old alike. As you might expect, this inter- esting personality attended his first school in a little sod school house. But he really isn't that old—per- haps it was the locality that was slow. This was in Nebraska, Broken Bow to be exact. Moving to Berrien Springs, Mich- igan, he graduated from Bu- channan High. After that he worked his way through college at Berrien Springs by working in the print shop and canvassing. His graduation in 1932 gives us the idea that perhaps canvassing was not such an easy job. Elder Dem- ing says at this time the preachers were practically hiding from the graduating ministerial students; so severe was the situation due to the depression. But this didn't dis- courage him or his new wife. Joined together in holy matrimony the day after graduation the two now headed for Elwood, Indiana, where Elder Deming had a little church of 35 members. He remembers he made $80 in 8 months. After a spring evangelistic meeting, seven were baptized in that community. From there he began his intern- ship in the Indiana Conference. In 1943 he left Indiana with his wife, 5 girls and 1 little boy. He served in Oklahoma City for 2'i years and then in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 5 years. Leaving there in 1950, he came to College View, bringing with him his wife, 5 girls, and 2 boys. Since coming to Lincoln in 1950, he and his wife have taken a spe- cial interest in 3 graduation cere- monies. So far three of his girls— Charlene, Corrine and Billie—have donned the cap and gown and marched the impressive way toward the diploma. Union is dear to the heart of Elder Deming, but Elder Deming is most dear to Un- ion. To us it is a real inspiration to meet Elder Deming. His cheery na- ture gives a feeling of joy to all who come in contact with him. Elder Deming's philosophy of life summed up in his own words is, "Talk courage, you'll convince yourself and others." Zhe College View What could be done to create more school spirit? Stella Ramirez: Just try to make Union a little bit better by better- ing ourselves a little. Arthur Rice: We need more par- ticipation in our intra-mural sports. Shirley Cunningham: To have a school spirit one must be inter- ested in his school, for after all a school is no better or worse than the students who comprise it. Loy- alty, interest, active participation in everything beneficial to the school will help improve the school spirit. Harlen Peck: It would help the school spirit to devise a more sys- tematic method of issuing traffic tickets on the campus. Milton Erhart: When students enter into school activities, they see they are a definite part of the school and school spirit will grow. Marilyn Krein: I think if the stu- dents and faculty would become better acquainted and would try to understand each other's prob- lems, more school spirit would be evident. Lewis Anderson: Have more group social activities so the students can become better acquainted. This will make us have a greater feeling of school solidarity. Clyfford Hazell: To my know- ledge, I've never heard the school song sung since I've been at Union. (Feb. '57.) I've heard that they have one. Why don't we sing it? I don't even know the tune. It would also be good if intra-mural sport' were looked upon more as a school affair rather than just a game be- tween teams. A good examole ic Nebraska U. Whenever any of their teams play, there's always a crowd watchin"- Snorts should be nlayed on nights that are open to all. No- tices a^r^uncing the events should be pos'<-'1. Mike Simmons: I feel the lack of school spirit arises from the differ- ences between students and fac- ulty. It seems to me the students have too few privileges. The facul- ty feels that the student should accept more responsibility for be- haviour before giving the students more privileges, and the students feel they are treated like children. Students will accept more responsi- bility when treated like adults— someone has to make the first step. Erma Crofoot: If we are actually interested in developing more school spirit we can do it. School spirit is like any other type of en- thusiasm in that, if expressed— (1) it grows, (2) it is contagious. If we would express more enthusi- asm for and interest in the hap- penings of our school, not only would others "catch the spirit," but our own feelings of school spir- it would grow. "It is a law of na- ture that our thoughts and feelings are encouraged and strengthened as we give them utterance." M.H. p. 251. Bill Simpson: Dissatisfied peo- ple kill a school spirit. I think that if the people who sit back and com- plain would offer suggestions and try to become a part of the school functions by joining committees and organizations, a definite in- terest would be developed in the social program of the school. Never explain: your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway. Keep your lamp burning, and let God place it where He will. The best a man ever did should not be his standard for the rest of his life. K appa Z)heta By Betty Bell Won't you be glad when all this snow and ice and bad weather is gone? I guess some people do enjoy it, but I'm just as sure that I'm not the only one who doesn't. Take for example Audrey Fordham who slipped on the ice and broke her leg. Audrey is getting around quite well on her crutches now, but we hope that that broken leg will be as good as new before long. A great big "thank you" is in order from us to Rex Turner and all the fellows of Sigma Iota Kappa for the unusually good program they presented on the fifth of this month. I don't think there was a girl there who didn't enjoy it thoroughly. Speaking of interesting programs, our own new Kappa Theta officers started the semester in the right way. At our first club program Mr. John gave us some helpful tips in hair styling. You fellows better watch out; soon you won't know us; we will be so glamorous. Penny Shell was "counseling" with some of her girls the other night and was trying to explain what the Student-Staff Council Is. She told them that it Is a committee that works to bring about better relations between students and faculty members. After she was through, one girl, still perplexed, said she still didn't understand. "Oh," said an- other trying to be helpful, "It's where we get the faculty straightened out!" Penny went home very discouraged with her evening's counseling. Before I bring this little section of the paper to an end, I would just like to add that although we girls of Rees Hall would never think of hinting, the 14th (tomorrow) is Valentine's Day. I just thought some of you readers might be interested! Course I s txxy v+ is.'

Ph. 4-4184 CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 <§ig,ma Sot a Kappa By Gary Grimes Recently the men of Sigma Iota Kappa had a very enjoyable club initiating the new club officers. The program was sponsored by the outgoing club officers: Norman Graham, Don Duncan, Dick Hammond, and Frank Brown. Getting the works were the new officers: Rex Turner, president; Jerry Aso, vice president; Don Bunch, secretary- treasurer; Noel Fraser, pastor; Gary Nowlan, assistant secretary-treas- urer; and George Gibb, Sergeant at Arms. The plight of Gary Nowlan was very funny and yet you had to feel sorry for him as he was blindfolded and his hair supposedly cut by Chuck Holman. Slipping out from be- hind the stage, to save the day for Gary, was barber Helton Fisher. All along as his locks fell to the floor, Gary thought Chuck was ruining him, but Helton was calmly clipping away. President Turner was blindfold- ed also. The glass was smashed in front of him. And then to his dis- may he was pushed off into it. But somehow the glass on which his bare feet touched was only corn chips. To remind them of the night, the new officers were given gifts all the way from hi-fi records to tie pins. The outgoing officers really provided us with good programs and the new ones are doing the same. Not long after the new officers of Sigma Iota Kappa took over, a joint worship was held. Noel Fraser, club pastor, gave a short, but interesting worship talk. Then a sort of faculty amateur hour was held. The program was planned by vice president Jerry Aso. Mr. Hauck was the M.C. and gave the audience a laugh by introducing the per- formers with poetic phrases. Elder Allen appeared first reading a hum- orous paper. Next was Mr. Haynes playing a sousaphone. Stirring up old memories was Marvin Moore with his version of the American soldier. Next Mr. Leno sang a bass solo. Finishing the night off was Dr. Dick telling some of his humorous Marine experiences. The pro- gram was entertaining and educational too. Lately, the Literature Evangelists from the different Unions have been holding a convention at Union. Giving us worship talks have been Mr. Page and Mr. Gilliam. Also Elder Howe gave an interesting talk on a successful life. That just about wraps it up around South Hall this day. Union's Library Participates in Periodical Index System The Union College library is par- i ticipating with other Seventh-day! Adventist colleges in a program of indexing denominational periodi-' cals. The present co-operative sys- tem was proposed to the conven- tion of college librarians in 1957 by D. G. Hilts, La Sierra College li- brarian. Under this plan each college li- brary is responsible for indexing one or two periodicals; that is, each issue is examined, and the important articles are classified ac- cording to subject matter. Union's library indexes to MV Kit. The worksheets containing au- thor, title, and suggested subject headings are checked by Librarian Hilts and then are circulated to the participating libraries. Subject cards are then typed from these sheets and placed in files. In this way students have access to an index system for denominational publications much like that pro- Hornung's Hardware Across from Campus 3923 So. 48th Ph. 4-1312 — FLOWERS ABOVE EVERYTHING!

The plan is that indexing be kept up-to-date, and that back issues be cared for as time permits. At present, Miss Floda Smith, UC's librarian, says that work is being done on the 1956 MV Kit. The information in the index file is useful to students studying doc- trinal, health, and inspirational subjects. Obituaries are also in- dexed so that biographical mater- ial is available on denominational leaders. In 1930 when Mr. Hilts was li- brarian at Union, he began index- ing the Review and Herald and Life and Health. This was carried on by the college library until the new plan was started in 1957. The current file (1940 to date) is contained in a steel file that was recently obtained for the library by F. R. Kleiman from war surplus.

But here's an even better buy: For only $32 a year, the aver- age family gets all the potent pre- scription drugs it needs to keep big medical and hospitol bills from ever coming up. That's why we say . . . TODAY'S PRESCRIPTION IS THE BIGGEST BARGAIN IN HISTORY RICE DRUGS CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 Elder Allen Conduct's Campaign in Beatrice Evangelistic "meetings are being held in Beatrice, Nebraska, by El- der Sydney E. Allen, beginning Feb. 6 and continuing each night until Feb. 15. "Can an educated person believe the Bible?" is the first topic to be presented. Elder Allen is assisted by Don Stowe, Dick Jewett and Bill Bromme. This is the first of a series of evangelistic campaigns that will be conducted within the next few months by the Student Conference of Union College. The purpose is to win souls and to give ministerial students active training in public evangelism Ministerial Students Have Fellowship Supper Twenty-four Union College min- isterial students and religion maj- ors gathered in the cafeteria Green Room Tuesday evening, February 3, at the Fellowship supper of the Union College Student Conference.

Fabian Traces Crime Detection "I believe in letting the punish- ment fit the crime," stated Robert Fabian of Scotland Yard on Sat- urday evening, February 7, in the college auditorium. In 1843, the first plain clothes inspectors were appointed. Beginning with just a small group, London now has 1,450 detectives of which 45 are women. From the ringing of the tele- phone with the inspector assign- ing Mr. Fabian to a murder case until it was completed by obtain- ing the confession of the murder- er, each step was traced in the lec- ture. It is not just one person who solves the crime, but a group of highly trained men working to- gether to bring about justice quick- ly. Mr. Fabian stated that "man commits the crime and providence finds the witness" is a common statement around Scotland Yard.

You, as students of Union College, sang these words, but did you realize the depth and res- ponsibility of the phrases which came from your own lips? Probably not, for out of the 560 MV members, only about 120 share their faith and actually work for Christ. These faithful few have given 1465 hours of their time and un- tiring effort in this partnership with Christ. You may ask, "What have they accomplished? Has any- thing concrete or tangible resulted from their efforts?" Oh, yes, Christ has not failed to carry out his half of the partner- ship). He has blessed the time and the effort put forth by these stu- dents. Evidence of the fruits of their Jabor was shown to the audience at the Vespers service in the form of a dream—a dream in which sev- eral students, characterized as former non-Christians related their experiences of finding Christ due to the work of the MV. As the dream ended, it was clear- ly evident that when one works with Christ, the results can be none other than successful. Not only Is a blessing brought to others, but the one who works with Christ obtains measureless spiritual bene- fit. Fellow students, our commission Is to Go and Seek. If you have not taken an active part in sharing your faith in this community, why not begin now? Determine to join one of the Sabbath afternoon MV bands . . . NOW.
