37 Vol. XX*+I UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, July, 1964 No. 13 M.V. "EXODUS" TO FARM SUCCESS DESPITE WEATHER AND MOSQUITOES "The Exodus" was the theme of the MV Campout that was held amidst rain and mosquitoes at Woodland Acres, July 3-5. Friday afternoon about forty campers set up tents and got fires -oing for supper. After supper the campers gathered around the camp- fire and had a X>, a ladies' iiigii-miunncVl snot', and a copy of an old Union Col- lege handbook. Dr. L. W. Welch, head of Union College Testing Service, is plan- ning to use room 204 for a testiin; ec: tcr in the afternoons during the coining school year. The mainte- nance department is building large cabinets in the southwest part of the classroom. Room 409, a Freshman English • assroom last year, is being re- modeled into a language laborator " Miss Hall's classes. Til - old blackboards were re- moved and new paneling will be i. .'tailed. This and a new tile floor should make a language lab, o which Union Collegc can be proud li: the number of lab units i utrieicnt, the present language laboratory in room 405 could hi -hanged back into a classroom. Thi.-: summer will see changes but not as many as last summer ->\ lien the new business office ami new- mimeograph office were being built and the old business office remodeled into tile present Col- lege Relations office. Twenty-eight weary travellers returned to Union last Tuesday after 32 days of sightseeing at the World's Fair, the Eastern seaboard, the South, plus more engine trouble than could be imagined. "Union is best," declared two of the girls returning from the college history tour which included stops at several of our schools. The tour members, from eleven years old upward, left Union early in the morning, the eighth of June. Sight-seeing, swimming, and beau- tiful scenery were ahead, but they found mostly trouble at the outset. Tho first breakdown of the bus kept them overnight al Davenport, Iowa. The next breakdown, on the freeway near Morris, Illinois, fur- nished more drama when the bus threw a rod and came to an abrupt stop with a large hole in its engine. The three-day lay-over in Morris made it necessary to omit several planned stops and delayed their arrival at Niagara Falls until mid- night—just after the lights liael been turned out for the night. In the New England states, the many things of historic or literary interest including the Old North Church in Boston, the homes of Paul Revere, Longfellow, Thorcau, and Louisa Mav Alcott, Walelen Pond, Lexington, Concord, and the "really quaint" school attended by "Mary's little lamb." One day in New York was spent in trying to see all the interesting displays at the world's fair. The Seventh-day Adventist booth in the protcstant center was among the things the group did have time to see and eiijo). A beauui'ui mural on the second coming of Christ and a taped sermon by Elder George Yancleman were featured. Other particularlv interesting dis- plays remembered were the Illinois exhibit on the life of Lincoln and thei Ford pavilion. In the Ford pavilion, riders in automatically run convertibles took fair-goers oil a lights-and-pietures-tour of transportation's past and future, while explanations came from speakers in the cars. The rest of the time in New- York brought a closer acquaintance with subways—noisv, crowded but fast—a look at Richard Burton driving by, a tour of the United Nations building, a visit to China- town anel other interesting spots. The two-dav stay in Washing- ton, D.C., gave the tour members time to see many tilings: Mt. Vernon, the Arlington cemetery, the White House, (from the out- side) the supreme court, the Gen- eral Conference headquarters and the White estate. They took a grand tour of the Capitol, rode on the senators' underground railroad, and heard both the navy and the army bands. Classes were held four hours a da)', whenever possible, two hours in the morning and two liouis sometime in the afternoon or evening. The sleepy travelers were often awakened bv Dr. Nelson's whistle and his admonition, "Wake, up! Wake up! By the time the . reached Charleston, South Caro- lina, thev were confronted bv a test, lots of swimming and points of interest such as Calhoun's grave, the old slave market, and cobble- stone streets. In St. Augustine Florida, the tour group drank from the fountain of youth, included in their sight- seeing the Potter's Wax Museum, and stayed in tho Plaza Hotel, in the middle of the demonstration area, without seeing any riots to coincide with the news reports of such happenings. New Orleans, with its pontoon bridges, French quarters. Bourbon Street, and other sights brought the tour members near the end of their trip. An unscheduled long week-end in Jefferson, Texas gave tlieni a chance to engage in swimming and other water sports as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Council, Marty and Ed Coniiell's parents, though they stayed at the Jefferson acad- emy. Final exams over, they returned to Lincoln, arriving Wednesdav morning, July 8. Tired anel warm, tiiev brought with them a lot more suntan or sunburn than tliev'd started with and many things to remember.

Plans Busy '64-'65 Activities Special films ol interest, open discussions with guest speakers from local schools, and a field trip to the Nebraska University or Nebraska Wcslevan educational de- partments are in the near future for education students. Under the direction of Dwight Mayherrv. Y>4-'65 president, Union's Teachers of Tomorrow (T.O.T.) club has 'aid tentative plans for the new school year. This professional or- ganization is L-) give future teachers a better idea of the scope of teaching and to help in professional education developments. M r s. Aut'.mm Miller and Dr. Gemmell ar 1 sponsors for T.O.T. Tin- respective viee-presidents < durational levels will be elected at the first fall meeting for separate from the elementary and secondary meetings of interest for eleinentarv and secondary education students. Occasionally the two sections will meet together to discuss common interests of teaching. All students interested in education as a pro- f< ssion are invited to join this club, it is not a requirement but it is recommended that all education majors and minors attend T.O.T. meetings. From the social side comes a banquet invitation for club mem- bers. Official T.O.T. pins will be presented at this annual event. When educational secretaries visit Union's campus special meetings > ill be held with the T.O.T. club. "This year wc want to strive for active participation of each member," stated Dwight Mayberry. "We hope to provide a more com- pli le educational field by the use of things not included in educa- tional classes." Elder Jarnes moderates Woodland Acres discussion on the Last Days. SCIENCE AND RELIGION HIGHLIGHT WOODLAND ACRES DISCUSSIONS During the summer months each Sabbath afternoon there have been group discussions led by Elder Jarnes, head of the religion depart- ment at Union College, and nature talks conducted bv v arious instruc- tors in the science department of Union College. Elder James has been discussing the events and happenings leading to anel during the Last Davs. The first week the specific topics were the events connected with (lie Time of the End, the First Angel's message and the Second Angel's Message. This was followed bv discussions of the Midnight Cry, the Great Disappointment and the Third Angel's Message respectively on the second and third week. This past week at the Missionary Volun- teer Exodus camp-out his topics were the Investigative Judgment including the cleaning ol the Sanctuary, and the Shaking Time. The first of the nature talks was conducted bv Dr. Rowland. His topic concerned the Flowering Plants, their anatomy and physi- ology. The seeonel week also featured Dr. Rowland and a con- tinuation of the previous week. Dr. Page led (lie third nature talk which concerned itself with a discussion of inatninologv, stressing the parts of the anatoniv and the animal's relationship to it's cn- v iromiieiit. Last week end at the Exodus, Dr. Rowland finished a discussion started at a Missionary Volunteer meeting a couple of weeks ago. This discussion concerned a com- parison of scientific and creationist theories 011 the Week of Creation. These discussions arc held at W oodland Acres, starting al 4:00 'i.m. with Elder Jarnes followed by the nature talks at 5:00 p.m. 2 CLOCK TOWER July, 1964 Hand Puppets, Poems, Pictures, Tools of New Phonics Approach Mrs. Alfred Stump, an expert in teaching pli in ties, demonstrated the method of pro-reading lo a group of elementary educators in Lincoln last week. Pro-reading which is becoming recognized as a verv progressive step in thc teaching of reading bv phonics, has been emphasized by Mrs. Stump since 1959 in thc six books she has written in collaboration with Arizona State University professor, Or. Don O'Beirre. These books are supplements to readers now being used in grades one through three and reportedly fit with any textbooks now in use.

Industries Thrive on Summer Business A printing job for Weaver's I'otato Chip Company, mop heads to be delivered, new oak furniture, white shirts to wash and iron, re- bound hooks to return—this is a whirl of the various Union College Industrie*. The college services are exclusive for thc college resi- dents but industries providing stu- dent labor cater to public use. Letterheads, bulletins, ad fold- ers, and some periodicals are all included in the routine of the Union College Press. This industry fills many denominational needs as well as helping local business con- cerns like The League of Women Voters, A.A.A. Rents, and Weaver Potato Chip Coinpanv. The press- also publishes the "Garden Club News" for the Lincoln Garden Club, "Nebraska Issue" for the Nebraska Council on Alcohol Edu- cation, and "The PTA Magazine." Eleven students and five full- time employees work for Mr. James Anderson in the college press. Two offset presses, a David- son and Chief modernize this trade as many printing jobs are changing to offset. These offset: presses are used w'th aluminum plates instead of type, and ink is nin with water to keep thc ink from 1 ticking. The College Furniture Manu- facturers announce that their gold- i en oak collection made of solid oak is selling above it; expectations. This quality of oak changes the image of the factory's quality and is second to none. Under the di- rection of Mr. R. J. DeVice twen- ty-three students working full- time are kept busy filling thc orders for this new oak line. Campus residents arc invited to visit the new sample room which carries a complete displav of all . _ Two new office entronces at the Furniture Factory and the Broom- shop illustrate the recent progress at all the college industries. items made. Four different lines ,1CW and old students to plan for of bedroom furniture arc represent- ' enrollment here next fall. Summer Roster Shows Variety Our total 1 r(i4 summer school enrollment is 265 with ages rang- ing from 17 to 63. This total in- cludes 21 junior nursing students now at Denver and 18 who will begin their nurses training August 4. There arc IS students taking class work on the history tour and •( voting men who are taking classes at the Colorado Evangelis- tic Seminar. Among the individuals enrolled this summer there are 45 taking advantage of thc three free hours offered to those living in thc dorm- itory and working full time on cam- pus. A little over 3'K of the cn- rollees are Elementary Education majors. Of tho teachers enrolled, there are three who have attended Union College for nine summers; one for ten summers; one for I I summers, and one for 12 summers. Tlie last person mentioned has at- tended .summer school for three years away from Union, making a grand total of fifteen .summers.

Keep Cool With KUEHL Groceries, Health Foods, Chewing gum, etc.—0 yes, Midwest Health Food Dis- tributors are here too! ed in modern, Early American, Co- lonial, and Danish designs. A variety of desks, bookcases, and chests is also carried. The College Furniture Manu- facturers displays their collection at markets held in Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York; Kansas City; and Omaha. The new warehouse makes it possible to store several thousand pieces and enables the employees to insure prompt de- livery. Union College Laundry and Cleaners is really a collegc service but recently it has taken in some commercial work. In addition to the motels that they service the laundry also is taking in business from non-student individuals. The Capital City Bookbinderv employs about thirty-five students for summer work according to Mr. Surdal. Their majority of business conies from public school and 'iliraries in the form of rebindings, binding new books, and compiling volumes of periodicals. Approxi- mately six weeks arc needed for 'nr. order to be completed through the total processes. The Lincoln Broom Works dis- tributes brooms and mops through seven different broker organizations from coast to coast. Sixteen sum- mer students are working full time for Mr. Dan Olderbak. Thc broom shop sells their brooms and mops to Lincoln grocery and hardware stores as well as local industries. Allowing time for the broom to finish drying it takes about two or three days from broom corn to fill- s'- work. The mops are a similar line which was started just four ears ago. Sales from the broom shop have exceeded last year's total In nearly $7,000.

Office WELCOME STUDENTS Come And See Us COLLEGE VIEW BAKERY 4725 Prescott This program is designed pri- marily for recruiting new students and secondarily for encouraging returning students. Early in the year the procedure begins as local pastors send in names of young people whom they feel should be attending Union College. Lists are then compiled according to states, including both t!,e prospective students and pres- ent students. The college repre- sent itives spend most of their summer visiting camp meetings and calling on young people at their homes, discussing and an- swering the many questions about collegc life—How much will it cost? an 1 work? Where? Do they offer the- course I want? A former admissions counselor stated that he felt this visitation plan was good, especially because it gives parents a chance to ask questions about thc Collegc and get an idea of what their son or daughter will be doing when the\ go on to the College of the Golden Cords. 370 Attend College View VBS The theme God's Holv Book was presented to thc three hundred and seventy voung people ranging in age from -1-13 who attended va- cation Bible school. At 8:45 they began to gather in the Church and sing songs led bv Elder Pogue. At nine o'clock all were officially welcomed b\ Mrs. Thompson, tlie director. This was followed by the pledge of allegiance to the flag, to the Christ- ian Hag, and to thc Bible. Thursday evening July 2, was designated for the closing program, where thev invited their parents. Fach dept. had five minutes to show what the\ had done during the two weeks of Vacation Bible school. Tho crafts were also dis- played for the parents to see and thus ended another Vacation Bible School.

"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee and we beg T w b.e.ssmgs up< n us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country." The United States Supreme Court in 1962 in Engle V. Vitale, ruled that the use of this prayer in the public schools amounted to an establishment of religion contravening the provisions of the 1st Amendment. There was a flood of protest, and then drafts of amendments co the 1st Amendment including the Bccker Amendment began to appear in lesisla i e ha'Is? Contrary to popular belief the Supreme Court decision does not bar prayer in the public school, but it does pro- hibit the use of required prayer composed bv public officials. In his decision, Justice Black stated.. ."it is neither sacri- ligions nor anti-religious to say that each separate govern- ment in this country should stay out of the business of writ- ing or sanctioning official prayers and leave that purely religious function to the people themselves and to those the people choose to look to for religious guidance." It, there- fore, well behooves every citizen to carefully weigh and consider any change in our Constitution which would per- mit public officials to introduce in public schools religious exercises or prayers. The Becker Amendment or any other would have this result. Asa A. Christensen Work or Wait? "All good things come to lie who is willing to wait for them." Everyone I suppose recognizes and knows this old adage. It is a familiar en:;, and ye. 1 sometimes feel that it is not entirely correct. I cannot think of ONE good thing that comes to a per- son who is content to merely sit and wait. Waiting is a fine thing after one has done all in his power to help a situation. But waiting is in itself entirely fruitless and most frustrating. Surely this adage fails to express fully the activity of a number of the 1964 summer graduates of Union College. I know of several who have done everything but wait. One has been in Union College every .summer now for twelve years. Others have continued to come back for eight, nine, or ten consecutive summers. To a teacher who spends nine months rushing hither and yon, a summer of complete relaxa- tion must look very good indeed; nevertheless, these teachers continue to attend summer school each year despite the heat, the storms, and the accelerated program. To these teachers then the CT staff says, "You are living proof that alJ good things come to the person who is willing to WOBK for them! Congratulations on a job well done!" Th is Is Education The teachers from the religion and biology departments should be commended for starting discussions groups at Woodland Acres each Sabbath. This is an instance where education is really taking place. The student who vigorously takes notes all week, regur- gitates them on a test, and then sleeps all Sabbath afternoon is missing something. It is when minds actually meet and struggle over ideas that real learning occurs. That is why differences of opinion help rather than hinder the educational process. Students who say, "Yes, yes," to everything the teacher says are of no more value than a committee that unthink- ingly passes every suggestion the chairman makes. Please do net put down tin's article feeling that the only j thinkers to be found on campus go to the farm each Sabbath. I That is not the point. The idea is that in this informal | atmosphere and others like it there is more educational1 value than one might realize. A scholar who is eager enough to find truth will discover that he can learn even better without the pressure of tests and grades. Fogg's Fantasies Ever wonder what kind of guys are staying in South Hall during the summer? Our dear friend, Wayne Han- cock, is working very hard on "God's Modern Message" in pre- paration for the school year. By the way, Wayne is selling Evening Meditations for $1.00. Get yours while they last because they are really going at a rapid rate. Some of our fellows are getting married, so we can scratch a few more from the list of Bachelor's. Good luck goes from me to all of you lucky fellows. And of course, we have our sports who play city league soft- ball in their spare time for exer- cise and to develop a skillful at- titude. Flovd White, Jack Irvine, Lonnie Leui, and Buell Fogg are among the few who partake of this competitive sport. I hope I have given you a small idea of the swell fellows and the good times we have together here in South Hall. If you don't believe me ask the fellows tliem- sel\ es. Summer Unionites Set Busy Pace A summer at Union is a kaleido- scope of sights, sounds, and sensa- tions. In the minds of those who have spent one or more summers here, several clear pictures re- main, with other hazy memories drifting about diem. But those who anticipate spending some fu- ture summer on our campus may wonder uneasih, "What is it like? Do you have any fun?" What is it like? Well, hot, but probablv not so hot as expected, unless you were misguided enough to expect continuous cool comfort. Even tli t can be found in the j lobby o." Rees Hall, in some of the classrooms, and in a few othe; ' places. (At least those classrooms are cool. The comfort might de- pend on the class meeting then-. Fewer people attend in th- summer during the school year, but there are people—teachers at- tending summer school for their first, second, or niavbe even twelfth summer, freshman who won't be so green, or so worried about bills next year because they decided to spend a summer getting acclimated and working up credit and other assorted students who find it pro- fitable to work or take classwork or do both. There may even be a few left-over graduates finishing j off bills. Finishing touches are all The kaleidoscope of su,.i::r moves quickly. One sees t'i • c pus beautiful with the green of grass and trees and the bright ac - cents of Elder Turner's flowers. Sprinklers whirl, giving unwar. passers sensation as well as scen- ery. Days of classes, tests, work, and relaxation blur into one an- other and soon the summer is past. Did you have any fun? That was up to you. Some have more than others do. But eidier all wor'.< or all classwork leaves one more free time than does a heavy load both, such as may be carried during the school year. Students i d summer workers take advan- a" of this chance to play tennis, badminton, basketball, softball, shuffleboard, ping pong, or minia- ture golf, or to swim, cycle, go walking, or whatever else they light dream up. that remain before the new wing of the girls dorm is finished. REES HALL ADDITION NEARS COMPLETION Dear Editor, I am a teacher that comes to Union only in the summer. The efficient maintenance of our camp- us has always been appreciated. However, t sis summer I have no- ticed the bent flag pole and the fact that our flag has not f'own for weeks.

You'll notice that Religion Dep'l Heads Discuss Becker Amend. by Fred Schmid At Fridav night vespers on June 20, Elder Peter James, Elder Mcr- vyn Maxwe'l, and Doctor Sidney Mien of the Union College Religion Department discussed various phases of the proposed Becker Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is the Amend- ment to allow pravcr in public schools. QUOTING MRS. WHITE ELDER PETER JARN'ES pre- sented words from tile writings ol Mrs. E. G. White concerning tin problem of religious liberty. "By the decree enforcing tile in- stitution of the papacv in violation ol' the law ol God. our nation will disconnect herself fully from right- eousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hai.d across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman pow- er, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritual- ism, when, under the influence of this thrcefo .1 union, our counlr-, shall rcpudk.t" every principle of its constitute :i as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delu.ion;, then we ma;, know that the time has come for the 111 trvelous work- ing of Satan and that the end is near."1 "Brethren and sisters, would that 1 might sav something to awaken you to the importance of this time, the significair.e of the events that are now taking place. I point you to tlie aggressive movements now being made for the restriction of religious liberty."' Elder James showed the audi- ence that tile Becker Amendment is a "straw ill the wind" toward greater measures because it tends to give the rights to the majority without regard for the minority. PROS AND CONS ELDER MERVYN MAXWELL declared that those who support the Becker A: 1 udment have some good arguments. These proponents ;ny that this is a Christian nation. Evidences of this are numerous; the inscription oil Ami rican cur- rency reads "In God We Trust." The Pledge of Allegiance says "One nation, under God,. . ." El- der Maxwell stated that the advo- c lcs of the Becker Amendment look upon the Supreme Court de- cision against public school prayers as another step toward materialism. Thev deny that the proposed amendment is an establishment of religion. this is true over third floor too. Peek into this room—see. it's pink. That one over there is green, the ones on that side are grav. The huff colored rooms arc my fav- orite though. The closets are be- ing put in and a few desks are being placed. Up there on the wall is the duct for the compact heating unit that will be installed in each room. Moving on down the hallvvav. we come now 1 > the bathroom. Aren't the yellow colored tiles pretty? I like the new modern shape too. This next ro. m is the laundrv room. The two holes in that wall are for the hlde-.ivvay ironing boards that will have irons that go of; automatically according to the time which has been set on the timer. Second floor is no.v getting at- tention from tie- phet -rcrs, and before too long we hope to be down on first. The bookca es and shelves have been constructed but are not quit? ready to be put up. Will we be finished in time? Well, we think s —and t'aat means I must get back to work. Nice hav ing you drop b . Come again! The opponents of the- Amend- ment agree that America has a Protestant Christian history. But they contend that it is in this back- ground that leads t i the support of separation of church and state. Elder Maxwell explained that the opponents believe the true bul- wark against materialism to be the church and the hom -, not the government. Th • prayer proposed iu tli • Becker Amendment is not much, but according to James Madison, we must 1 ike alarm at tile first tampering with our liber- ties. INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEMS "The problem of religion in schools," declared DOCTOR SID- NEY ALLEN, "comes about as a result of mixing peoples." The friction resulting from such a mix- ing necessitates tli? government's being neutral in the areas of con- flict. In modern America, most mix- ing takes place in the public schools. The Bccke r Amendment, if adopted, would state that the l iist Amendment doesn't prohibit prayer in public schools. Those v ho oppose the Becker Amend- ment feel that the government would no longer he neutral if the Amendment is adopted. It appears that the proposed amendment will not achieve the two-thirds vote in the Mouse and Senate and the three-fourths nation-wide ratifica- tion which are needed for adop- tion. The problem of declining morals among the nation's youth has giv en rise to the problem called "shared time." This plan calls for students to attend parochial schools for character-building classes part of tho day and public schools for the balance of the day. There is wide support for this program. "What the attitude of Seventh-day Ad- ventists toward this program will be," stated Doctor Allen, "deserve:- a lot of thoughtful study." ' V Testimonies page 451:1 1 VI Testimonies page 18:2
