The Man in the Plaster Mask 
By Becky Lane 
What would cause Mr. McClelland to 
suddenly cancel his Drawing for Everyone 
class? Why would Lisette Deemer decide to 
unexpectedly postpone her voice lessons? 
What kind of emergency would bring a fire 
truck to Union College in the middle of the 
day? And what would possess two dentists 
to suddenly tell all of their waiting patients 
that their appointments would just have to be 
delayed? 
Aside from a half-price Deli special or a 
nuclear disaster, only one event could cause 
so much chaos in Lincoln, Nebraska. That's 
right—we are finally going to set the record 
straight on Eric Lunde's four-hour Plaster 
Mask Ordeal. 
Bizarre news of Lunde's 
brave battle with the clinging plaster face has 
spread from the halls of the art building to the 
far corners of our campus and city. 
For those wjio spend all of their waking 
hours playing pool in the Student Center or 
isolating unknowns in organic chemistry 
labs, here is a quick synopsis: On Thursday, 
April 16, in Engel Hall, Union College stu-
dent Eric Lunde found his face trapped in a 
hardened plaster mask as a result of his 
attempt to create a replica of his face for an 
art class.Lunde and fellow student Dan Pot-
ter were working together to make the plaster 
molds when the tragedy occurred. 
They 
covered their hair and faces with vaseline to 
prevent potential disasters, but apparently 
Lunde had an insufficient amount of vaseline 
on his hair. When it came time to remove the 
heavy plaster, the top portion was found to be 
permanently attached to his hair. 
Rather 
than panic immediately, they remained calm 
for about IS minutes in order to assess the 
situation. 
Then they decided that someone was 
needed to save Lunde's life, or at least his 
social life. At this point he did not suspect 
that the ordeal would be long. Lisette Deemer 
and Carolyn Adams were the first rescue 
workers to attempt to chip the plaster away 
without permanently rearranging Lunde's 
facial features. Meanwhile,' he was able to 
gaze sideways out from his prison as Mr. 
McClelland provided him with a play-by-
play account of the happenings. Lunde was 
unaware that a mis-
cellaneous crowd of 
20 onlookers had 
gathered to entertain 
themselves 
by 
watching his plight. 
Two 
hours 
passed. Finally, Mr. 
McClelland 
an-
nounced, "That's it-
-we're calling 911." 
This was not espe-
cially exciting to 
Lunde, and he ad-
mits that it was actu-
ally one of the most 
embarrassing mo-
ments of the after-
noon. "I didn't hear 
any sirens, thank 
goodness. 
But ev-
eryone saw the fire 
truck, and 
news 
spread rapidly after 
that," he says. Un-
fortunately, the fire 
fighters did not have 
any tools small enough to fit between the 
plaster and Lunde's scalp. He was so close to 
rescue, and yet so far. Anxiety began to build. 
"They told me to go to Bryan Hospital, but 
that was the last thing I wanted to do," he says. 
Then someone suggested the dentist's office 
across the street. Bad idea. "Now, I really 
wasn't very cool about that idea," Lunde 
says, "but I didn't explain why at the time." 
Of all the dentists in town, he didn't want to 
go across the street "because I had ceased to 
date that dentist's daughter about a week 
before." What an ironic twist of fate. Nev-
ertheless, Lunde soon found himself walking 
through a crowded waiting room with a huge 
chunk of plaster hanging from his forehead. 
"I was glad I couldn't see everyone'staring at 
me," he says. 
Immediately,, all other patients were put 
on hold and the dental staff went to work on 
Lunde. The process was quite painful, and 
they did not give him Novacaine, but his mind 
remained free to ponder life. "I was sitting 
there thinking about how strange this was-
-that I was sitting in a dental office having 
a dentist and an orthodontist work on me to 
get plaster off of my face. Figure that one 
out, why don't you?" Lunde admits that he 
was worried, but did not give up hope. The 
dentists continued to work for 30 minutes 
while Lunde made hairstyle plans for the 
future. "I figured I would have to get a crew 
cut immediately," he says. He also spent 
some time wondering if he would be fea-
tured in the Clocktower when it was all over. 
At last the moment they had all been 
waiting for came—the heavy mask tumbled 
into his lap, and he was free. "The instant I 
stopped thinking it was about to come off, it 
did. I just looked down and was amazed that 
it was gone," Lunde recalls. After all of the 
fussing, he was made to sit and recover from 
the trauma for another 45 minutes. Finally

ASB Student 
Center to be 
Completed 
ByRikkiStenbakken 
Those of you who have used any of the 
student center facilities lately have probably 
noticed a few changes. People have been 
working in there and things are getting done. 
Although it seems like things have been 
moving rather slowly this year, they are 
going to get a great big push this summer. 
From June 8 through 18 it is estimated that 
more than one hundred Maranatha volunteer 
workers will descend on the campus. They 
are intending to finish up lots of small jobs 
around campus that Plant Services just hasn't 
had time to do. Mostly though, they will be 
concentrating on the student center/deli area. 
This area also includes the auditorium. 
Maranatha is an active volunteer group 
based in Sacramento, California. Their main 
form of outreach is building churches all 
around the world. Many of their projects 
take them to places such as Mexico and 
Santo Domingo, but their service is not 
limited to overseas work. They have built 
many small-town churches in the United 
States. In fact, Maranatha helped to build the 
City Mission right here in town. 
Even though the majority of the volun-
teers are not professional construction work-
ers, they have gained much valuable experi-
ence by simply going to a work project and 
learning by doing. Maranatha workers have 
a reputation for getting things done—and 
getting them done FAST. Their object is to 
accomplish as much as they can while they 
are at the project, because often after they 
leave a project, there are not enough people 
with time to finish the work. 
Each year Maranatha picks a work site for 
a convention. According to Gary Bollinger, 
Union applied some time ago to have the 
convention here even though they thought 
the chances of being selected were slim. 
This summer Union College is lucky enough 
to be hosting the Maranatha workers.

Sex education at Union College ? 
W Yes! 
g Safe sex? 
fil Yes! 
I've learned many things in my life and 
especially at college. One of the most impor-
tant things I've learned, or have been taught by 
my better teachers, is to think for myself. In 
this college atmosphere in which we live it is 
important that people learn to think for them-
selves. 
When we were in high school we spent a lot 
of time trying to understand life and figuring 
out basics. But now we are in college, and we 
should understand some of the basics. Teach-
ers and parents have always said that we 
shouldn't be influenced by others. We must do 
what we see as beneficial to us. However, most 
of us take that as not drinking, smoking, or 
doing drugs. People apply this thinking to peer 
pressure, and we don't apply this to all of our 
lives. As college age adults, we must take this 
a couple of steps further. 
I see people on this campus controlled by 
others or what others might think. 
People 
falling into a rut in which they do exactly what 
their friends do even if they don't want to. Their 
friends in turn do what they do because they 
think they have to. It becomes a vicious circle. 
Following your friends in all they do and think 
is not conducive to reality. You end up being 
an indecisive individual incapable of coping or 
living unless you're sure of what your friends 
are going to do first. 
I see people on this campus who want a 
boyfriend or girlfriend because they feel they 
need one. After all, their friends have them. 
They can't function without their fiiends or get 
some more friends to add a little variety to life. 
I see people following blindly the religion 
of their friends and parents. They know only 
the rules. They don't understand the principles 
that are involved. They don't seek to find out 
where they personally fit in their religion. Not 
thinking for themselves—just following plac-
idly along. 
Let's shine in a little reality. If you follow 
your friends because they will not appreciate 
you if you think a little differently, or if you 
have friends outside their clique, get some new 
friends. You will only suffocate in this type of 
life. If you have to have a relationship because 
your friends do, then you need to get a clue. 
Following the religion ofyour parents or friends 
will get you nowhere if you don't understand 
how it applies to you. Thinking for yourself, 
searching out your own questions and answers, 
and allowing your friends to do the same is 
what life is about. Sheep follow each other 
blindly in all they do. Sheep are considered the 
dumbest creatures on the face of this earth. 
Show a little bit of your human side and start 
thinking for yourself. 
But what is "safe sex"? Not the use of 
condoms. Condoms fail 15.7% of the time 
among married couples—a lot more for the 
unmarried and minorities. That's enough to 
have a baby every year. Couples who rely on 
them for birth control are called "parents." 
Since conception can only occur one or two 
days in a month, most of the failures go 
unnoticed. But one slippage or breakage of the 
condom in sex with an HIV infected person is 
a death sentence for the partner-even after 500 
"safe" episodes. 
Condoms are an iron curtain to pleasure. 
People who rely on them will, in the heat of 
passion, sometimes take the chance that their 
partner is safe. They forget, when it comes to 
disease, that they are having sex with all the 
ones their partners had sex with and all the ones 
those people had sex with, ad infinitum. That 
can add up to a lot of people. 
Condoms are a spider web for protection. 
Holes in latex rubber can be five microns wide-
-enough to protect from sperm, but not from 
viruses which are450times smaller than sperm. 
Among 800 sexologists at a recent conference, 
not one indicated a willingness to have "pro-
tected sex" with an HIV infected person. And 
yet these people will tell kids they can have 
"safe sex" with condoms. 
"Safe sex" with comdoms is a disasterous 
misnomer. It creates the impression that one 
can safely be promiscuous. Today all nature is 
screaming that only monogamous sex is safe. 
Even if condoms could protect from dis-
ease, sex outside of marriage can do incalcuable 
damage. How can one trust a partner who is 
used to sleeping around? 
"Safe sex" for Union College? You betcha! 
The kind that God provided for—between two 
committed people whom God has joined to-
gether for life. 
Sincerely, 
Beatrice Neall

ShovingGoodFoodDown Others Throats 
ByDougHardt 
I love the Adventist church. I have been 
bom and raised in what I consider a Biblically 
and fundamentally sound church. 1 believe 
that we are the "bearers" of truth to the world 
in these last days of Earth's short history. 
Doctrinally speaking, I would argue for Ad-
ventism above every other religion and church. 
However, there is one thing that really 
upsets me about our church. Why don't we 
tolerate other people that think a little differ-
ently than we do? For example, I have heard 
rumors that somebody in our Mid-America 
Union complained that Union College had a 
pastor that was too liberal and that is why 
enrollment was down. They also said, suppos-
edly, that they would not encourage anybody 
from their conference to attend Union because 
.of that fact. Now, whether or not this one 
rumor is true is not what I care about; I care that 
attitudes like these can even exist in our church. 
And the sad thing about it is that they do! There 
are many examples in our denomination where 
conservatives and liberals become Biblical 
pugilists and go a few rounds in the name of 
Adventism. 
I am not trying to argue that the liberals or 
the conservatives are more correct in their 
theological views than the other. I am arguing 
that each side needs to accept the other and the 
way they think. This attitude that "I am right 
and you are wrong" has got to stop. Although 
this attitude is prevalent in all of society, I think 
it is more prevalent in the religious sector. I 
believe that this is because people believe they 
are divinely inspired to proclaim the truths that 
they have discovered about God to the world. 
They think that since it works for them in their 
relationship with Christ, it should work for the 
rest of the world in their relationship with 
Christ. The crazy thing is that they believe God 
actually approves of their holy close-
mindedness. For example, look at the Middle-
East. Why do you think those terrorists are so 
scary? It's because they believe killing people 
of an opposite religion is what God wants them 
to do. They will fight to the death for their 
beliefs. 
Although the Adventist Church's problem 
is nowhere near that magnitude, a microcosm 
of it does exist. We have people in our church 
that believe if you don't think like they think, 
then you shouldn 't have the right to think at all. 
Well, I'll tell them what I think about that! I 
think that attitude is dead wrong. 
The problem with people that have that 
attitude is that they have forgotten that religion' 
at it's core is a relationship with Jesus Christ, 
not a set of doctrines established by a church. 
The church is a human attempt to make a 
support group for this relationship. For ex-
ample, if I were to start a start a father-son 
support group, I hope I wouldn't criticize 
fathers who don't play catch or go fishing with 
their sons. Even if that was the best thing for 
me and my dad to do to get closer to each other, 
maybe their sons don't like fishing or baseball. 
It's true every father should do some things for 
his son like tell him he loves him, feed him, 
etc., but there is no one right way to achieve 
these goals. The same should be applied to the 
church. What works for the individual may not 
work for the whole. Maybe some Adventists 
get a blessing from Stryper or from water-
skiing on Sabbath; and then again, maybe 
some Adventists come closer to God by eating 
tofu and not using any electricity on Sabbath. 
Every individual's relationship with Jesus 
Christ, although governed by the same prin-
ciples, is unique. 
I encourage us all not to play judge when we 
look at others and to think twice before we act 
in Biblical retribution. We may not agree with 
and approve ofeverybody's lifestyle, but fight-
ing them about it does more bad than good. 
Even if you feel like "force-feeding" them the 
good news of the Gospel it is best to offer them 
a living example and not a verbal reprobation. 
Just remember this: God can work miracles in 
people's lives; you can't. That is why He just 
tells us to "love our neighbor as ourselves" for 
"love covers a multitude of sins." 
Although God can bless each of us indi-
vidually in millions of ways, don't think that 
the ways He blesses you are the same for 
everybody. 
Don't shove good food down 
others' throats.

In every flake of winter snow, 
In every gust of the eastern wind,

In every tide of an ocean,

In every song of the birds,

In every flower in the Garden of

I recognize your bright smile. 
You seem to be omnipresent. 
Maybe you are everywhere. 
Maybe it is just an illusion.

he was driven back to Union College—by the 
dentist's daughter. 
"I was greeted on campus by Mike Needles 
and Chip Hart," says Lunde. "Their first 
words were, 'How's it going, plaster face?'" 
That was only the beginning of the creative 
nicknames he has heard since. A favorite 
comment seems to be, "Hey, Eric, we heard 
you had a heavy weight taken off your mind 
the other day." 
The plaster mask attached to Lunde's 
forehead for four hours was found to weigh 
10 pounds, 4 1/2 ounces. He says that his 
forehead and even his hair are basically back 
to normal now, although ittook three washings 
with Dawn detergent to get his hair clean. 
Surprisingly enough, Lunde insists that he

There are two phases to the convention. 
The first will be the work project June 8 to 18. 
During this time, they will be working around 
campus doing re-roofing, construction on the 
student center, and painting in Jorgenson and 
Engel halls. They will come and work in 
exchange for free room and board. 
The second phase will be more of a retreat 
for the workers June 18 to 20. It will serve 
both as a reunion for workers recently re-
turned from Santo Domingo, and a workshop 
where they can learn better ways to do things 
efficiently.

Saturday, April 18, was the moment to 
shine for 27 Union College athletes. The 
stage was set at the college gym, where an 
enthusiastic crowd and a group of nervous 
gymnasts gathered for the yearly Home Show. 
At 9 p.m. sharp, the lights dimmed, and 
the first notes of the entrance routine burst 
forth as spotlights simultaneously hit the 
gymnasts. The hard work, sweat, determina-
tion, and prayers of the team now manifested 
themselves in the form of grace, strength, and 
coordination. 
This year's Home Show demonstrated a 
wide range of skill levels and talents. High-
lights of the show included an individual 
routine featuring Brean Martinez and a men's 
four routine featuring Denison Sager, Bryan 
Fly, Matt Rodgers, and Doug Nesmith. Brean 
showed off her grace and flexibility, while 
the men's four displayed their advanced 
strength and tumbling abilities. Other per-
formances of note were those of the chair and 
block routines. These guys should be con-
gratulated on an incredible handstand! How-
ever, I would have to say that five-year-old 
Brittany Spaulding both stole the show and 
won the hearts of the audience. Her poise, 
grace, and mastery of difficult skills were 
displayed in a women's pair routine which 
brought the house down. 
This particular team has presented a spe-
cial challenge for head coach Frank Martinez 
and assistant coach Cindy Spaulding. This 
year's team of 27 can claim only 12 of those 
members as veterans, while the other 15 were 
either new to the team or were incoming 
freshmen. "We got off to a good start though," 
says Spaulding, "because the skill level of 
each individual member was relatively high 
to begin with." Overall, Cindy was very 
pleased with the team and the progress they 
made in the last year. 
The advanced skill level and determina-
tion on the part of the team allowed for 
numerous tours this past year. A few of the 
weekend trips were to places such as Colo-
rado, North Dakota, Michigan, and Kansas. 
The highlight of the year was a 10-day trip 
to Mexico, where the team performed al-
most everyday. 
Although this year's team was very suc-
cessful, Cindy and Frank have even bigger 
plans for next season. They intend to tighten 
up the requirements for team tryouts in the 
hopes of increasing the overall skill level. If 
you plan to try out next year, you better start 
working on that handstand. Rumor has it 
that a 20-second handstand will be required 
for both men and women of next year's team. 
Over the past three years, Union College 
gymnastics has risen in popularity on cam-
pus, as well as outside of the school. The 
college gymnastics team has made a real 
contribution to recruiting efforts over the 
past years. UC freshman Matt Rodgers says 
his decision to attend Union was made solely 
because of the gymnastics program Union 
College offers. "I had pretty much decided 
to attend Walla-Walla," says Matt, "but they 
didn't have a gymnastics program at all out 
there. After talking with Ric [Spaulding] 
about what Union had to offer, I made my 
decision to come here." Now Matt is en-
couraging other academy students to come 
to Union. 
Undoubtedly, the hard work and commit-
ment of the team has paid off. This is dis-
played both in its increase in skill level and 
also, in the not-so-obvious but very real 
benefits to recruitment. Let's congratulate 
the team and the coaches for making gym-
nastics a strong incentive for attendance at

BySockriteaseandPlqydough 
Union College, lift up your heads from 
your lifeless existence as we grace you with 
our words of timeless wisdom. Sockritease 
and Playdough have once again taken up the 
task of answering your far from insightful 
questionings. 
No need in wasting more 
space complaining; we will just print the 
wretched things, and you will then be shown 
by comparison how beef-headed your in-
quiries really are. 
Dear Clocktower (Sockritease and 
Playdough), 
Is it me, or am I the only person who 
writes you? 
—Lost 
Dear L, 
- As you may already know, the Clocktower 
is always swamped with letters. You have 
just been lucky enough for us to ridicule you 
twice in this feature. This letter was written 
much better than the last ones we've re-
ceived from you, but far from significant 
once again. 
It's obvious that you have 
ignored our advice, so we will repeat it: 
Don't write us anymore. 
Dear Clocktower, 
I am the president and co-founder of 
People for the Ethical Treatment of Spagetti-
O's (PETS) here on campus. 
In the last 
article written by Sockritease and Playdough, 
I was offended by the reference to "smashing 
faces with Spagetti-O's." HEY! SPAGETTI-
O's have feelings too! If you don't want to 
risk being boycotted by devoted PETS mem-
bers I would suggest not slandering our 
beloved O's. Our modem society was built 
on Spagetti-O's and now has a nationwide 
membership of 50 people, 25 of which are 
here on campus. Sockritease and Playdough 
should not be allowed to write in this highly 
regarded paper.

Dear Chef Boyardee, 
As you can very will see,, we are still 
writing this article, and you are an annoying 
excuse for a decent activist. Your little cult 
of "Freak-O's" has bored us already. Be-
cause your letter was so pathetic, you are 
receiving the Playdough and Sockritease 
"Pinhead, don't waste your time on this 
cause" award. Now excuse us while we go 
outside and pummel a can of our favorite pre-
made pasta. 
Dear Sockritease and Playdough, 
The other day I decided to watch that 
network of networks, Fox, and I was struck 
by a "Penetrating Question." How many 
times a day is "Who's the Boss" on anyway?

Dear Mr. Bundy, _ 
This is one of the many wonders of life. 
Who really understood the significance of 
the Carrier Pigeon? Who can really under-
stand the miracle of life? 
Who is Tony 
Danza? Well, true believers, Tony Danza is 
the eighth wonder of the world. And thanks 
to the phenomenon known as syndication, 
we will be able to bask in Tony's supernatu-
ral housekeeping abilities three times a day! 
Thank you, Fox, for making our lives a little 
brighter! 
Dear Sockritease and Playdough, 
What exactly is NCATE and what do they 
do? 
—A Confused College President 
Dear J.K., 
I know that these little organizations and 
acronyms may seem confusing at first, but 
once explained, the answer will seem quite 
obvious. NCATE stands for National Coun-
cil for the Accreditation of Teacher Educa-
tion. As of now, no one is really sure what 
service they supply. They appear to us as a 
fungus, materializing at the most unwanted 
times, and staying far too long. Just ignore 
them, and after they've eaten in the deli, they 
will leave. 
Now that we have come to the end of 
another literature landmark, there's some-
thing that must be discussed. An event so 
foul and disturbing that we couldn't con-
clude this article without making reference 
to it. A couple of weeks ago, my colleague 
and I, incognito, slipped into the landfill that 
you call a gymnasium. There was no amount 
of preparation that would've saved us from 
the sight that brutally assuaulted our senses. 
It's hard to believe a college of our standards 
would condone such a sick, paganistic dis-
play of human disgrace. To save the poor 
idiots involved in this pitiful performance 
more grief than they already should've 
recieved, we will leave this catastrophe un-
named. We leave you with this thought, in 
hopes that you will someday learn from your 
mistakes and ovecome your sub-human de-
sires of being less than you can be.
