Old North Hall peeps over as the fi  
rises  to cover its weather-beaten face.  
Construction of Pearl L. Rees  
Hall is running according to or  
ahead of schedule, revealed V. S. 
Dunn, business manager, this week.  
The concrete framing work is three- 
fourths done and will be comple- 
ted. before the scheduled finishing 
date which is June 1.  
"Laying up" of the brick face  
is already being started. The "Old 
Virginia" brick being used is made  
here in Lincoln.  
A crew of about fifteen has been  
framing the building during the  

ning cf new Pearl L. Rees Hall ropidly  
v inter. The concrete pouring has  
involved enclosing the area with  
canvas as the concrete sets and then  
heating that area to prevent freez-
ing.  
This crew will be expanded to  
about thirty as the weather be- 
comes warmer and allows more to  
be done.  
Mr. Dunn states that if the work  
continues to progress as well as it  
has, the building will be completed 
by the fall of 1958 as was origin- 
ally scheduled.  

MV's First Secretary Kern Reviews Fifty Years  Federal Defense 
Focuses Attention on  
'Desire of Ages' Pledged 
for 1330 Nebraska Motels  
Elder M. E. Kern, the first sec- 
retary of the Missionary Volunteer  
Department of the General Confer- 
ence, was an honored guest at  
Union College March 22 and 23,  
for the 50th anniversary of the MV  
Society. Elder Kern led out in the  
MV program Friday evening as  
narrator of a program protraying  
the growth of this department.  
The earliest known group of  
young people organized to work  
for those of their age level was 
formed in 1879 as a result of the  
lesire of two young men in Mich- 
igan to work for their friends. As 
young people in other places re- 
ceived the burden to work for their  
friends, Christian Endeavor groups  
around the world were formed.  
In 1907 the General Conference  
created the first world-wide organ-
ization of the Missionary Volun- 
teers and Elder Kern, who was at 
this time professor of religion and  
history at Union College, was called  
to be the first secretary. His office 
was established in College View  
until arrangements could be made 
to move to Washington, D.C. From  
this time on the society has grown 
and at present has a membership 
goal of 450,000.  
Sabbath morning Elder Kern re-,  
minded the young people that the  
task that confronted the Missionary  
Volunteers in 1907 is the same task- 
facing them today. He warned that  
lukewarmness within the organ-
ization has kept the work from be- 
in <r completed. In closing Elder  
Kern challenged the youth to ded- 
icate their lives without reservation  
to completing the unfinished task 
to which God has called them.  
Sherwood Jones, the MV leader  
of the College View Church, accep- 
ted the torch of  truth from Elder  
Kern as the congregation stood be- 
fore the Lord, dedicating their  
lives to the finishing of His work.  
To prove their sincerity, those pres- 
ent pledged 1330 copies of the  
Desire of Ages to be placed in mo- 
tels in and around Lincoln.  
As a finale for this Golden Anni- 
versary, young and old united Sab- 
bath afternoon in a city-wide vis- 
itation program which was follow- 
ed by a singspiration.  

Cornfield prayer of Luther Wor- 
ren, Bob Conway; and Harry Fen- 
ner, Jimmy Riddle, begins volun- 
teer youth work with boy's club of 
Christian workers.

Seminarys President Dick  
Interviews Religion Majors  
Elder Ernest D. Dick, president  
of the Seventh-day Adventist The-
ological Seminary of Washington,  
D. C., was a Union College guest 
March 15-17. The Foreign Service  
Band and the Ministerial Associa- 
tion met jointly on Friday night to  
hear  Elder Dick.  
Elder Dick stressed that teaching  
or other work could be a  prepara- 
tion for the ministry, but should  
not be a way of entry. He read quo-
tations from Mrs. E. G. White  
about the need of thorough prep-
aration by ministers. "Ministers as 
well as doctors need to be intell- 
igent and well prepared," declared 
Elder Dick.  
Sunday morning Elder Dick in- 
terviewed ministerial students con- 
cerning Seminary schooling.  

Academy Seniors 
'Campus Bound'  
On April 14-16  
Academy seniors from nine acad- 
emies in the Northern, Central, and  
Southwestern Unions will be cam-
pus guests from April 14 through  
16.  
Included in the schedule of their  
activities will be swimming, skating,  
basketball and open-house visits to 
various departments. On Monday  
morning they will visit classes and 
a special Convocation program in 
the gymnasium.  
At their arrival on Sunday morn- 
ing each group  will be greeted by  
graduates of their own school, who 
will act as hosts for their three day 
stay.  
A banquet in the dining room on  
Monday evening will climax the 
visitation and they will leave 011  
Tuesday morning.  
CT Benefit Program  
Obtains Over $300 
Approximately 900 people were  
in attendance at the Union Col-
lege auditorium Saturday night, 
March 16, to view the technicolor  
motion-picture, "The Court-Mar-
tial of Billy Mitchell."  
The film, which depicted the  
life and events leading up to the  

Union's Disaster 
Demonstration  
A mock A-bomb disaster will set  
the stage for a mass Civil Defense  
demonstration, the first to be con-
ducted by an entire college, at  
Union College the afternoon of  
April 11. On hand to view the ex- 
ercises will be 200 officials from  
Federal Civil Defense Headquar- 
ters and the surrounding states.  
The main purpose of the demon- 
stration, according to Alice Smith, 
director of Union's School of Nur-
sing and coordinator of the dem- 
onstration, is to prepare the young  
people of our colleges to serve in 
time of disaster. The test will serve 
as a training guide for future Civil  
Defense exercises throughout the  
United States and suggest ways of  
mobilizing training services of col- 
leges to meet emergency demands.  
Every department of the college  
will adapt itself to care for the  
more than a hundred "casualties."  
Reporters and photographers  
frorn national magazines will be 
on hand and a color movie will be  
made of the demonstration by the  
Civil Defense department.  
Three jet planes from the Neb- 
raska Air National Guard will fly  
over the college in a simulated A- 
bomb drop. Simultaneously, three 
mock A-bombs which produce a 
mushroom-shaped cloud will be  
detonated in a field near the col- 
lege, signalling the start of the  
demonstration.  
To care for the wounded, a 200- 
bed hospital from Civil Defense  
headquarters in Omaha will be  
brought in and set up in the disas- 
ter area. Plans are for a helicopter  
to be used in transporting casual- 
ties.  
This will be the fourth such dem- 
onstration staged under the di- 
rection of Miss Smith, the other 
three taking place in Denver. They 
are a part of the graduation exer-
cises for the senior nurses.  
Preliminaries to the demonstra- 
tion will feature the Union College  
Band and Male Chorus.

chell, netted the CLOCK TOWER an 
approximate $330 after expenses.  
Rees Hall Construction Advances Up-to-par  
'fisticated Seniors Spend Frivolous Eve  
"Sophisticated Seniors" pushed  
aside inhibitions and took on an  
air of frivolity as they joined in a  
class party on Saturday evening,  
March 23..The informal get-togeth- 
er featured group games, several 
musical numbers by class members, 
and last but far from least, food!  
Musical numbers included the  
vocals, "I Believe," Millicent Ode-
gaard; "Make Believe," Don Run- 

yan; "Big Bass Viol," Barry Sieben- 
list; "Desert Song," Phyllis Hein  
and. Lynn Wiekham; and "Whistle  
a II a p p y Tune," Myrna Bauer.  
Alice Mae West added variation to 
the program as she whistled a hap-
py tune called "Mocking Bird Hill."  
After the program, minds turned  
to thoughts of f o o d, and in a  
few moments, thought became real- 
ity, and emptiness was vanquished.

CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 1, 1957  
Overheard-- 
North  
By Sally Nugent  
Another column, another test of honesty—and this time the  
temptation to plagiarize is very strong. In fact it is impossible to 
give credit where credit is due (an old UC policy) for the following  
poetry was found unsigned. So  to some unsung poet or poetess bou- 
quets, de casibus, tete-a-la-mode, et cetera:  
REFLECTIONS ON DETERIORATING NORTH HALL  
Some primeval termite knocked on wood,  
And tasted it ond found it good 
And that is why my roommate Kay,  
Fell through the second floor today.  
What writer wrote that old thing called "Common Sense"? Ben- 
jamin Franklin? Thomas Paine? Anyhow, this seems like an appro- 
priate time to recommend such reading to a few Northy residents.  
This report came from a dutiful and slightly hysterical monitor re- 
cently: Esther Kowalski and Nora Meier were sleeping (apparently)  
on the floor at room check. On the bed were numerous sweaters which  
they had washed that day and which seemed to hold comfort pre- 
cedence over the floor-draping girls.  
There is music on North 3rd again. The varied pleasing sounds  
of classical records may be traced down corridors and around corners  
to Pat Rohlf's room.  
At a recent Kappa Theta meeting Vice-president Millie Odegaard  
introduced a play written, produced and directed by the UCA fresh- 
men, sponsored by their student teacher, Helen Tynar. Called "To 
Mars by Aspirin" the plot was concerned with a rather normal father  
who became the  victim of some pills which gove him the illusion that  
he had visited Mars. This brought on doctors and more doctors plus  
newspaper reporters and the like, until almost every class member  
was in the act. A project of their English I class, the play gave the  
students experience in writing, working together, learning to follow  
directions and producing an entertaining program.  
There are undoubtedly many personal lectures given each morn- 
ing, especially each time one goes to a class tardy, on the values of  
punctuality and "get-up-and-at-ivity." Some chronic oversleepers  
may even seek help from  books like "How to Wake up and Influence  
Teachers." Here is a bit of verse that may cause contemplation in  
the other direction:  
Was there ever a man so dead  
Who once in his life hasn't said,  
Nuts with school today,  
I'll stay in bed.  
UC Musicians Present Program lor Hiram Club  
Several music students of Union  
College presented a varied pro- 
gram for the Hiram Club on March  
20. The program followed the Ma- 
sonic organization's ladies night  
banquet. Neil Tilkins directed the  
music group.

'Carissima" by Myrna Wadsworth,  
and a vocal duet, Romberg's "Will  
You Remember," by Miss Wads- 
worth and Mr. Wickham.

Zke Case of the  
M issing Executive  
by Jack Hartley  
Even though the last Golden  
Cords Chorale trip to Colorado 
was rather short, it produced some 
of the most outstanding events of  
the entire season.  
It all started with a cold snowy  
departure at 4:30 a. m. Friday 
morning, March 15. The trip to  
Colorado was quite eventful, as,  
well-stocked with sack lunches, the 
faithful bus moved onward to the 
west. Boulder, Colorado, was  
reached about 4:30 p. m. M. S. T.  
and soon everyone was out of the  
bus and trying to adjust to the  
mountain air. A few got so adjusted 
to it that they climbed some of the 
hills around Boulder Sanitarium.  
A little later at supper one of our  
members seemed to be in a con- 
stant state of embarrassment. Fin-
ally the awful truth dawned. Ruthic  
Kainer was almost over the mea- 
sles! The next day you could hardly  
tell that she  had had them. They  
must not have been too contagious  
as no one else has caught them yet.  
The concert in Boulder that  
night produced a few funny hap- 
penings too, as some of the mem-
bers got a little too warm and not 
being used to the mountain air al-
most fainted. One fellow, in fact  
(names are withheld to protect the  
innocent), even left during one of  
the numbers.  
The next day the event that real- 
ly "capped the trip" came about.  
President Hartman had boarded  
the bus as we left Denver for Cam- 
pion Academy. He wanted to speak  
to the students for a few moments  
and then get back into his car, 
driven by Larry Henderson. Think-
ing the car was following the bus,  
the president got off at a stoplight  
and stood on the street corner 
waiting for the car. The trip to  
Campion  was uneventful enough,  
but upon arrival we noticed that  
the car was there to meet us, and 
also that the president was not.  
President Hartman had been left 
"Standing on a corner watching all  
the cars go by." Needless to say,  
frantic arrangements were made to  
go back after the missing executive, 
and in  due time he was found and  
rejoined the group in time for the  
next concert. Upon being kidded  
by the students, the president only  
laughed with them at his most un-
usual plight.  
And then, once again the tour  
was over and once  again the choir  
members were back at the old  
steady grind. The choir tour of  
1957 has come and gone, and only  
the fond memories remained.

By Larry Henderson  
On the local sports scene the  
past week we find the basketball  
tournament in full swing. One  
game has been played in the "A"  
league, while the junior circuit has 
managed to get two games com- 
pleted. The "A" league game be- 
tween the Royals and Colorado  
found the mountain-state hoys 
emerging as victors. Other games  
scheduled in the tournament find  
Team 7 slated against the Lakers  
and Team 1 meeting Team 5. The 
league champions from the South- 
west drew a bye in the first round.  
In the "B" league the Oilers beat  
the Millionaires and the boys of  
the Hawkeyes forfeited to Team 5.  
Games remaining in first round 
activities include Team 2 vs. Team  
8, and Colorado vs. Team 1. Since 
the tournaments are double elim-
ination, the teams who lose first 
round games will have a playoff. 
In the only game of this section the 
Millionaires won from the Hawk-
eyes.  

By Sally Saturley  
The Ping Pong Tournament in  
North Hall is progressing well; in  
fact it is in its last stages.  
Elvenia Prowant drew a bye in  
the last bracket, which puts her i  
the finals playing Jean Simmons.  
Jean went to the finals by defeat-
ing Jane Camp, Miss Remley, and  
Charlene Specht. Elvenia previous- 
ly won games over Sally Saturley  
and Jonnie Lee Bailey.  
Delia Henneberg, who also drew  
a bye this round, previously de- 
feated Marilyn Millard, Viola Low-
ry, and by forfeit Dixie Marcotte.  
Final results will appear in the  
next issue of the CLOCK TOWER.  
There are still a number of  
games to be played in both leagues, 
so be sure to go out to the gym  
any time on Sundays and on Mon-
day afternoons.  
Coming up in the not-too-distant  
future are the various spring sports,  
such as Softball, tennis and golf. 
Let's all plan to participate in on'  
of these out-door activities. They 
will he of great benefit to us all.

Fields that have been discussed  
are dietetics, research, demonstra- 
tion work, and dress design.  
Club publicity secretary, La- 
Merne Mosier, stated that this ser- 
ies of discussions should be quite 
helpful to those girls interested in 
Home Economics.

at the bi-weekly meeting of the  
Natural Science club Saturday  
evening, March 16.  
The topic of Dr. Smith's lecture  
was "The International Geophysi-
cal Year and Earth Satellites." He  
discussed the possibilities of re- 
search that may be gained by the  
use of satellites about the earth.

Megacycle Club  
On the evening of March 23  
members of the Megacycle club  
saw two films. "The Bottle of Mag- 
ic" was the story of the develop-
ment of the vacuum tube. "Radio 
and Television" was a vocational 
guidance film in those two fields.  
Ron Case, club president, an- 
nounced a special Megacycle club  
meeting on March 30th. This will  
make up for the meeting that will  
be missed during spring vacation.  
Social Welfare Major 
to be Offered in '57-58  
Beginning next year, Union Col- 
lege will offer to students for the 
first time an opportunity to major  
in social welfare. The course is  
designed to prepare young people  
for entering the profession of so-
cial work, according to Dr. R. K. 
Nelson, chairman of the History  
Department. A student taking this 
major will study in the social  
science field, taking classes in so-
ciology, marriage and family, gov-
ernment, economics, history, psy- 
chology, personal evangelism, and  
business or home economics.  
Interest in the field of social wel- 
fare at Union College has grown 
rapidly. Eight years ago there was  
one class in sociology with fifteen  
students. Today, 195 people are 
enrolled in classes in sociology and  
social welfare. This new social wel- 
fare major has been added because  
of student demand.  
The social welfare students at- 
tended the Governor's Conference 
on Youth. Other field trips include 
visits to a marriage counseling 
agency, a county welfare office, a  
Child Guidance Clinic, the Neb- 
raska Psychiatric Institute, a ses- 
sion of the juvenile court, the  
state reformatory, an orphanage, a 
home for the feeble minded, and 
city missions.

*7/ie feittel ojiVtlt the Sweet  
"The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul  
every bitter thing is sweet."  
If we are not in everyday contact with God, our souls become  
hungry for Him, just as our bodies become hungry for food.  
For the soul that is full, full of God's love and protection, even  
the most inviting things of this world are not tempting. But for one  
whose soul is hungry for God, and yet whose mind turns him from  
God, the pleasures of the world are enticing; for his soul hungers,  
and it must be satisfied. Every bitter and unsavory thing of the world  
seems sweet to one who proceeds to lay up treasures and good times  
here on earth instead of with God in heaven.  
So let us remember that if we have daily communion with God,  
these pitfalls of the world will not seem so sweet to us as they do  
when we shun the power which God gives us when we walk with Him.

The Academy choir under the di- 
rection of Mr. A. G. Howard gave 
its annual program, "Winter Won-
derland," Saturday night, March 
23, in the college auditorium.  
The first number on the program,  
"We Who Love Music," was sung  
by a girls' triple trio. The entire 
choir sang the theme song, "Winter  
Wonderland," followed by "Fog,"  
"Surrey With the Fringe on Top," 
and "Swiss Ski Song" in German. 
Glenna and Gloria Lewis and Shir-
ley Wasemiller sang "Rain." The 
girls' chorus sang "Mountains"  
and another song entitled "Sleigh."  
Accompanists were Van Knauss  
at the organ, and Betty Carlisle at 
the piano.  
Mrs. Howard was narrator for  
the program.  
Following the program, the choir  
went to the Compass Room at the 
Municipal Airport for refreshments.  

ical Contest at Campion Academy,  
March 23.  
Randi was the first prize winner  
in the UCA contest held in the Aca- 
demy chapel, March 20. Her topic,  
"Guilty or Not Guilty," describes 
her oration.  
Vernon Usher, who stated that  
two-thirds of the teen-agers who 
drink become addicted to this habit  
while they are in high school, won  
second place. Third place went to 
Rodger Thompson and fourth to 
Don Washburn. Sharon Stutzman 
and Rayford Swart tied for fifth  
place.  
While the judges, Elders Span- 
gle, Welch, Hauck, Cross and Dem- 
ing, decided on the oratorical 
winners, prizes were given out for  
jingles, posters, and essays.  
In the jingle contest, first prize  
went to Dick Wreed. Rayford  
Swart won second prize and Roger  
Simpson third. 
Carol Wreed won first place in the 
poster contest and Rodger Thomp-
son, second.  
The essay winners were as fol- 
lows: Vernon Usher, first place;  
Randi Heinrieh, second; and Rod- 
ger Thompson, third.  
Panel Guesses Soph Officers  
r.  
Sophomore class members pose with panel members of the 'To Tell the Truth' pro- 
gram which featured coming out exercises of the group.  
The Sophomore Class chose "To  
Tell the Truth" as its coming out  
theme. One of three contestants  
sitting at a table was a class officer. 
This one had to tell the truth while  
the others did not. A panel selected  
from the Academy chapel audience 
asked the three contestants ques- 
tions. Then each held up a number  
showing whic h contestant he  
thought was an officer. Of the thr^j  
contestants running for president, 
Marion Pritchard was chosen by  
the panel. The panel happened to 
be wrong, because Kenneth Walker 
is president of the Sophomore  
Class.  
The panel guessed right on the  
vice-president, who is Lassie Brin- 
gle.  
For the secretary and the treas- 
urer the panel guessed right. They 
guessed Ann Hilde as treasurer and  

JoAnne Allen as secretary.  
Leon Conrad, Bruce Cross, and  
Jack Jackson were the contestants 
for sergeant-at-arms. The panel  
guessed Bruce Cross. Once more 
they were wrong, for Jack Jackson  
holds that office.  
The panel guessed right in nam- 
ing Jim Allen as pastor.  
Mr. Reynolds, the class sponsor,  
was master of ceremonies. The 
class members and their sponsor  
wore white sweat shirts trimmed  
with their class emblem in green.  
Their class colors arc white and  
green.  
The commercials were given by  
Marion Pritchard and L i n d a 
Adams.  
At the close of the program the  
Sophomore class appeared as a  
group.

CAMPFIRE TALES FROM  
AFRICA, by Yvonne Davy  
Stories from the dark continent  
will never cease to stir the heart  
that loves adventure. In this col-
lection there are stories that tell  
of hunting elephants, milking a buf- 
falo, an escape from the driver 
ants, and how two men were pro-
tected from a lion in the tall grass.  
There are some unusual aspects  
in nearly all of these narratives as, 
for instance, the ingenuity of a lit-
tle girl who hid and fed a small 
boy in the family corn crib for days  
until he was accepted as a foster  
brother. Another one tells how an  r  
angel in human form saved a little  
native boy from death even while  
they were digging his grave. The 
faithfulness of African children  
once they learn of Jesus is very  
touching, and makes us ashamed  
of our complaints at trivial trials.

BETTS VARIETY  

by Dick Milholm  
The scholars of the General Biology laboratory have been apply- 
ing their heads to the study of the anatomy of the well-known frog.  
After the lab assistant placed the slimy amphibian before Juanita  
Smith and Bonnie Smith, they took one look at it and shuddered. On  
the second glance they recognized a resemblance and named him,  
"Barlo", much to the dismay of Barry Siebenlist and Arlo Funk.  
The Union College swimming pool  has been very, very active this  
past week as a swimming instructor's course was offered to those  
who wished to take the course and qualified. During one of the in- 
struction periods the prof, was stating that almost anyone can float  
and that he was glad to see so many improvements in the art. Floyd  
Harberts, who had just gotten out of the water gasping for air, blurted  
out with, "Oh, yes, I sink with much greater finesse now."  
Now that spring arrived last week, everyone either has a cold, a  
beard, or a dog. The latest hound on the campus is owned by Bob 
Romans. Zana is a pup Weimaraner and has papers nonetheless. This  
specie of dog, with its pale-grey eyes and silver coat has been known  
as the "grey ghost" and more recently as "the dog in the grey flan-
nel suit."  
The Royal Messengers, a quartet composed of Ted Wick, Jim  
Wilmot, Jerry Patton, and Orlo Gilbert took a trip to Campion Acade- 
my this past weekend and presented the girls' banquet program there.  
These four men wish to express thanks to Van Knauss, who was their 
accompanist and Clyde Peters who loaned his chariot to them so they  
could arrive there on time.  
Spring house cleaning has started in South Hall already as all  
the worn and used tiles on the floors have been taken up and new  
ones put into their place. New tile along the walls of the halls has  
added to the attraction of our already beautiful surroundings.  
How would you like to have a tree growing in your room? Well,  
Frank House has hopes that his will bear fruit, shade him, and add  
to the dignity of his school home in the near future. Actually he has  
just started growing an avocado plant in a jar and it has one small  
shoot, but he has great hopes.  
Recent visitors to the campus were Bob Huffer's parents, Rob  
Johnson's brother, Don and Bob and Anne Whitsett's parents. Again  
we extend the welcome mat to all those who have been our guests  
this past week.

CLOCK TOWER, APRIL  19, 1957 3  
jbouin li/itU Ike Student Cental?  
In recent weeks much discussion has taken place, pro and con,  
as to a student center here at Union College.  
Beneath the many more obvious benefits of having a center, lies  
many less obvious and yet more important benefits, not only for the 
students, but for the staff, and also for Union College as an institution.  
The student center will in a more effective way meet many of the  
social problems with which Union College is confronted.  
1. 11- will provide a legitimate supervised place where couples  
and others may be together.  
2. Not only will it furnish a place where boy meets girl, but also  
it will furnish a place where a couple will meet and associate with 
other couples and with other people. In other words, it will be an  
organization where people will by the very nature of it be brought 
intc contact informally with one another, thus broadening them 
socially and bringing about the group association which is so im- 
portant to a well-adjusted individual.  
3. The student center can and will be an attraction to prospec- 
tive students. By pointing to the student center, student solicitors  
will be able to show in a tangible way that Union College is interested  
not only in the intellectual phase of the students' development but  
also in the social phase.  
4. The student center will in a positive way approach the prob- 
lem of student off-campus activities in that it will encourage on-cam- 
pus activity.  
Not only will the student center be beneficial in meeting social  
problems, but it will also effectively help Union College to meet the  
educational aims for which it was founded.  
1. In encouraging group association, the center will in effect  
bring about on the part of the common student, education in the  
social graces, education in deportment, and education in learning  
how to get along with other people.  
2. The center will provide another place where students may  
receive experience and training in leadership.  
3. The center will provide another place for students to assume  
responsibility.  
Most important of all, the student center will help Union College  
to more effectively meet its own aims and objectives "to promote  
the principles of true higher education, and to provide proper faci- 
lities for the harmonious development of the intellectual, moral, and  
physical powers of mankind."(Union College Bulletin) Each student  
y/hs is graduated from Ursicr. College will be better equipped end 
better prepared to face the problems before him.  
Last of all, a center will benefit Union College by bringing about  
ia closer relationship between student and staff member. The center  
-iwill be a place where students and staff members olike may go to  
1 relax, to fellowship together. It will provide a common meeting place  
where mutual friendships will be established between staff members  
and students. Thus, the center will in a positive way approach the 
problem so often plaguing our institutions of higher learning, by 
bringing about a closer relationship, a mutual understanding of the  
problems of students ond staff. Over-all co-operation, understanding, 
and team work between students and staff members will result.

By the Way  
with Loren Dickinson  
President Passes  
By u quirk of ill-fate last week,  
these United States and the Phili- 
pines lost an ally and a leader in 
fearless hut favorite Ramon Mag-
saysay. A hero of World War II, 
Magsaysay made Filipinos take  
honest politics and like it. In Man- 
ila streets, Filipinos wept.  
Whether or Not  
Somehow, we've evaded all year  
talking about the weather. With 
Nebraska's other season, hot, now  
on the way accompanied by gener-
ous waftings of self-imposed or im- 
promptu spring (speaking o f  
Spring) fever, the amber light is 
fervently flashing for you of the 
campus coterie (rendered in the 
collegiate as a group of people who  
meet, as for social purposes) who 
are inclined to rush the season of  
the inevitable. To friend Firth of 
poetic lower hall fame, we offer  
the above solace, concluding that  
whether the weather, nothing's  
going to turn out all right.  
Mock Shock  
My sakes hut this Smith-engin- 
ecred civil defense exhibition is 
out to play for keeps by the sound  
of page one of this here edition.  
Downtown they say several thou- 
sand will show for the mock shock.  
That in itself could cause mild hys- 
teria. All this about A bombs,  jets,  
c o b a 1 t, casualties, concussions,  
and. crowds, it's here for real April  
II. We'll toss bouquets in advance  
to a minutely organized plan with 
Smith-like precision.  
Share-cropper  
Crop failures; it must be  so. Or  
as a North Dakota corn-growin'  
friend of mine said, says he, "Back  
in 1946 the corn crop was so had 
that we cooked some corn for din-
ner and Pa  ate fourteen acres at  
one meal." Course, you see that's 
hack in there when they didn't get 
Tuesday's sunlite 'til Friday. Buck  
up, Phil, things promise to he sun-
ny in Southern California.  
By the Way  
Or as they often say at the end of  
potential thriller filler like this, By  
the Way; we'd have more success  
in this wide world we live in if we  
didn't worry about who gets the 
credit.  
Music Dept. Plans  
Revealed for Spring  
Students of the Union College  
Music Department will take part  
in several programs within the next  
few weeks.  
Most important of these, accord- 
ing to Mr. Neil Tilkens, acting de- 
partment head, will be the chapel 
program of April 19th, in which 
will he presented the most char-
acteristic forms of the Baroque per- 
iod of music from 1600-1750. This 
period shows the beginnings of  
many forms of the modern music  
we know today such as the sym- 
phony, opera, and oratorio and ail 
mediums will he illustrated by stu-
dents performing during the chapel  
period.  
April 13th, an evening concert is  
scheduled in which oach depart- 
ment of music will be represented. 
Considered the main feature of the  
program will he a performance ol  
the Liebeseieder waltzes with  pi- 
ano and choral group. The Vivaldi  
Triple Concerto will also he fea-
tured.  
Junior music students are to be  
presented in recital on the evening  
of April 14th. On April 27th in the 
evening, students of Miss Attarian,  
organist, will present a recital in 
the College View Church.

Dot Zak Zakes Stock of Zick Zock  
by Sally Saturley  
On the rainy Sunday evening of  
March 17, Dorothy Tak caught her  
first glimpse of Union College. Dor- 
othy left her home and family in 
Seoul, Korea, on the previous  
Thursday, hound for the United  
States, Union College, and four  
years of study.  
American customs are as strange  
to her as is the language. She finds- 
it very hard to understand us. Not  
only our talk is puzzling to her but  

also the manner in which we do  
tilings. It is hard also for her to  
express herself in a way that we can  
understand.  
Dorothy has a very interesting  
background. In 1950 when the com- 
munists invaded Seoul she and her  
family had to give up their homi 
and all their worldly goods and 
evacuate farther south to Tong 
Young. It was here that Dorothy  
and her mother found God. After 
a year and a half in Tong Young 
the Tak family went back to Seoul  
and Dorothy attended our school  
there. After her graduation from  
Sam Yurk High School, one of our  
schools not recognized or accredit-
ed by the Korean Government, she 
ran into difficulties trying to get in- 
to the university. In our church  
college there, they do not offer a  
chemistry major, which Dorothy 
wanted to take. Key Ton Lee, who  
taught Dorothy English (an hour  
a day for a month) had told her  
about Union College and all it 
offered its students, so when her  
difficulty arose the only solution  
seemed to be for Dorothy to come 
to America and attend Union Col- 
lege. Her father and mother and  
three brothers agreed, and Dorothy 
left Korea to continue her educa-
tion in a new world, adjusting to a  
new society, learning a new lan- 
guage.  
One of the hardest things for  
Dorothy to adjust to is our Ameri- 
can food. Somehow it just doesn't  
taste like "the food Mom used to  
cook."  
Dorothy's three  brothers and her  
mother believe in God the same as  
she does, hut her father as yet has  
not taken his stand. However, she 
is praying for him and believes that  
someday he will accept Jesus.  
THE UNDIAGNOSED  
by Marianne Underwood  
A number of changes have been taking place here on the campus  
of the Clinical Division of Union College. We sophomores are changing 
more each day. Erma Crofoot gets to class on time and Betty Campbell  
takes a step and a half for her former one. We are beginning to have faith  
in the impossible.  
Gwen Anderson, La Vonne Blehm, Carol Norman, and La Vonne  
Finnell experienced the same feeling as they left for their respective 
homes for a four weeks' vacation. Take advantage of your rest, girls.  
Another change is the dividing of the sophomore nursing majors into  
two groups. Section A goes to class on Monday and Tuesday while Sec-
tion B practices clinical nursing on the wards of Porter Sanitarium and  
Hospital. Then on Wednesday the schedule is reversed and Section B  
attends class and Section A has clinical experience. Both  class and ward  
practice are part of our educational program in nursing. In the hospital  
our work is supervised, and we are helped by our clinical instructors, Mrs.  
Louise Gusso and Miss Adeline Germann, both alumnae of the Union  
College School of Nursing.  
In our clinical instruction we are given demonstrations of nursing  
procedures that are used to care for a patient of the type we are studying 
about in class. In our clinics and ward walks we see patients with these  
or similar diseases. Somehow, before Wednesday, we read one or two  
references about the particular disease we have in clinic. For the first 
half of our clinic we study a patient's chart. We look up his laboratory 
and X-ray reports; we check his temperature, pulse and respiration 
records, we study his history, his treatment and his nursing care. Then  
this same patient is brought to class, usually in a wheel chair, and we talk  
with him about his illness and his experiences. If the patient is too ill to  
he moved we walk to his room and observe him there. Logically, this is  
a Ward Walk.  
In our religion class, conducted hv Mrs. Farnsworth, we consider  
questions that patients ask us about our religion and about any spiritual  
.subject. We  present these qucsions to the group and we then try to form- 
ulate answers we could give our patients. We think of his religious hack- 
ground, his feelings about spiritual matters and what he really means 
when he asks questions.
