®mtr Vol. XXXIV UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 9, 1961 No. 10 - Artist Series - terican Mull®, Beale, To Periorm In Classics! Lyceum Concert February 19 American contralto Evelyn Beale will present a concert at the Union College auditorium, Sunday, February 19, at 8:15 p.m. Miss Beal's program will consist of works by Handel, Schubert, Doni- zetti, Grieg, and the American composers Deems Taylor, MacGimsey and Gibbs. Miss Beal's accompanist will be John Challener, according to the program committee. Evelyn Beal is an alumnus of the music school of the University of Michigan. She also holds a Master's degree in sacred music from the Union Theological Seminary, New York. After her formal training Miss Beal began the climb which has brought her into prominence as a young artist. Beginning with small parts in musicals and trade pro grams, she rose to the point where ; Evelyn Beale she was awarded roles in such places as the Starlight Theatre of Kansas City. Her big chance came when she had the opportunity to fill in as solo recitalist for an artist who was ill; her performance was outstand- ing and she was immediately given a repeat engagement for the fol- lowing season—and she has been a featured concert artist ever since. A native of Wichita, Kansas, Miss Beale now resides in New York City. She spends her summers, when not participating in summer festivals, in the Adirondack mountains work- ing on repertoire. Her main inter- est, outside of music, is birds; she is an enthusiastic "birder," and a serious conservationist. GO FOR SNOW Winter Sportsmen Plan ASB Snow Party in Rockies During Spring Vacation The annual ASB snow party will be held March 29 through April 4 at the Glacier View Youth Camp in the Colorado Rockies. The party will be supervised by Dr. L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs, and Mrs. Evelyn Bergman, instructor on the Colorado campus. A charge of $16.50 will be made to cover all expenses except skiing costs. Food will be charged to stu- dents' cafeteria accounts. Transportation will be by private auto. Those planning to attend are required to make a deposit of $5 before March 1. On the agenda are tobogganing, skating (canoeing if the water is not frozen), skiing, hiking, snow- shoeing, and films. Meals will be served in the n'ewly completed cafeteria building, and members of the party will be housed in warm cinder block cabins. According to Jeriel Howard, com- mittee chairman, the outing will be a most enjoyable occasion for all who plan to come along. ASB, Clubs Sponsor Ice Rink on Football Field Ice skating, sponsored jointly by the ASB and the dormitory clubs, became a possibility last Friday af- ternoon with the building of the dirt dike at the north end of the football field. As soon as the plastic for the rink arrives, the facilities for skating will be ready for use. However, this depends on the weather. Norman Gay, senior, Ron Jensen, junior and Derrill House, fresh- man, supervised the building of the dike, Jerry Lange, Leslie Kirke- gaard, and Leslie Werner, all fresh- men, will be responsible for keeping the ice clear. "While it may seem like a rather late start on the project, it is hoped that it will set a precedent for next year," says ABS President Gary Grimes. Fowler lo Demonstrate Trained Birds ot Prey For Lyceum February 10 Birds of prey will swoop through the auditorium in Jim Fowler's "Lightning on the Wing," Saturday night at 8:15, February 11. In this lyceum, Fowler will des- cribe how eagles, hawks, and fal- cons are hunted, trapped and trained. He releases his birds to fly freely in the audience and to return, on command, to their mas- ter's arm. Jim also gives a demon- stration of the ancient art of fal- conry and explains its age-old traditions. Jim trains all his wild birds to fly freely, instructing them mainly by a reward of a piece of beef. "The birds never had it so good," he explains, "and they live twice as long in captivity." His interest in birds and falconry began while he was a student at Earlham College in Indiana. At Jim Fowler first birds of prey were only a hobby for him, but his interest has developed into a wide field of study. His explorations for the Harpy eagle, Martial eagle, Cape sea eagle and the Black-shouldered Kite have taken him to Barotseland in Northern Rhodesia and to the jun- gles of South America. "Lightning on the Wing" has been acclaimed by W. N. Andrews, professor of speech at Atlantic Union College, as the best in their lyceum series for this year.

Glitter, page 4 Senior Nursing Students Teach Red Cross at UCA Fifteen Union College Academy juniors and seniors are enrolled in a first aid class being taught by Mary Waldron and Katie Towerton, senior nursing students. The academy students requested that this be included as part of the Facing Life class. At the end of two and a half weeks of instruction students will receive the Red Cross Standard First Aid certificate. The main purpose of the course, according to Mary Waldron, is to make class members more safety conscious. Instruction in the es- sentials of caring for accident vic- tims is also included. SPEAKING FOR CHRIST—Students to present Christ to their colleagues next week are, seated: (l-r) Ann Silverstein, Don Tan, Evelyn Bird, Penny Shell, Charles Griffen, Bonnie Campbell; standing are: Mitchel Tyner, Gary Grimes, Dick Ham- mond, Bill Nordgren, C.

Summer Tour Set For Latin America A Latin America history tour group of about forty students will leave Union College by bus August 9 under the direction of Dr. R. K. Nelson, chairman of the history department. The group will travel as far south as Guatemala. The intinerary in- cludes stops at Monterrey, San Louis Potosi, Mexico City, Vera Cruz, and Tuxtula Gutierrez, Dr. Nelson said. The students, who will receive three hours of college credit for the trip, will be given lectures by Dr. Nelson while traveling in air- conditioned comfort between points. The group will spend several nights at Seventh-day Adventist schools and colleges. One of these is College Linda Vista, Chiapas, southern Mexico. It is anticipated that Loren Wade, Union College graduate of 1960 who now teaches at College Linda Vista, will act as guide there. In addition to school work, swim- ming, hiking, and boating will be included in the twenty-day econ- omy tour. Dr. Nelson, who has led seven previous tours to thirty-one states and sixteen foreign countries, ad- vises that prospective tour members join the tour early, as the group will be limited. Promotion Trips Will Feed Onion's Future Enrollment The annual senior promotion trips to be conducted by Union Col- lege teachers promise to be very successful, according to Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. Many let- ters of applications for the school year 1961-1962 have already been received. Four academies and one junior college will be visited by six repre- sentatives from Union. These schools, visiting representatives and the time of visitation are as fol- lows: 1.

Do-it-yourself Sports Fan Breaks Ankle in Two Places Jumping from a trampoline in the college auditorium, Gary Hick- man, freshman science major, broke his right ankle in two places Thursday, January 26. Gary was discharged after a short stay in Providence Hospital, but will have to walk with crutches for some time, he says. The cast wlil be changed this week. He will wear the cast for about five months, according to the at- tending physicians. Biological Station in Rockies Offers Five Courses In Two-Week Summer Camp Rocky Mountain Biological Station at Glacier View Camp offers Union College students the opportunity of earning three hours of credit while studying plant and animal life. This year's session is being held from August 13 to August 30, says Neil Rowland, associate professor of biology. Glacier View Camp is 9,000 feet above sea level in the Rockies, about twenty miles northwest of Boulder, Colorado. The facilities are owned and operated by the Colorado Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventists and are loaned to Union College for this project. The main lodge, which houses the headquarters of the camp, looks over a small lake to the snow-capped peaks of the Con- tinental Divide. Director of the camp is Mr. Row- land. Other members of the staff are Rene Evard, assistant professor of chemistry, and Alfred E. Perry, instructor in biology. A student may register for only one course out of the following courses being offered: Nature Education, Field Nature, Beginning Minerology, Mammalogy, and Ecology of Rocky Mountain Plants. Each of these courses is worth three hours toward the natural science requirement or three hours on a biology major. According to Mr. Rowland, this area is unique in that within re- latively short distances one can study plant and animal life of the plain on up to the tundra (timber) type of land. He also states that this area provides very pleasant surroundings for college study. 14 Schools Will Send Musicians to Festival The second annual Choral Clinic Festival will be held in the Union College auditorium Saturday night, March 11, at 8:15. Fourteen acad- emies will be participating in this music festival, according to the music department. The Band Clinic Festival last year was the first one to be held. Plans are to continue alternating between voice and instrumental music. The fourteen schools that will attend are: Campion Academy, Denver Junior Academy, Enterprise Academy, Grand Junction Junior AcaderM'iv«:QMsCi^JlnEEii£&ad- emy, Maplev^op^ Minne- apolis Junior Academy, Oak Park Academy, PJainview Academy, Platte VaIlt-jtaclc6niB6|heyenne River Academy, Soutrwestern Jun- ior College, Sunnydale Academy, and Un*jnd?S>li.we [*«tt*eipK:«A. CLOCK TOWER Social Welfare Students Visit Maplewood Feb. 2-5 Maplewood Academy was visited February 2-5 by a group of Union College students who are interesteo in social work and wish to interest others in it. Since many academy students are not well acquainted with socia. work as a life-time profession, the promotion group under the direc- tion of Dr. Russell K. Nelson, chair- man of the Union College socia. welfare department, plans to im prove the understanding of tha; field. miss Sharon Chatfield, instructor in social science, Pat Gustin, Ed Lamb, Penny Shell, and Wallace Slattery, Union College students employed as social workers last summer, accompanied him. While at Maplewood the group gave four programs. For chapel Friday they gave three skits showing social workers' duties. Friday night they showed how social workers can help people they work with become ac quainted with God. On Sabbath af ternoon a panel discussed Christ as a social worker. To end the visit, Doctor Nelson showed Euro- pean pictures Saturday night. Union is the only Seventh-day Adventist college offering a major in social welfare. Informal discussion Group To Meet Sabbath Afternoons Seventy-five students met Sab- bath afternoon, February 4, for the first in a series of informal Biblical discussions. Elder Mervyn Maxwell, assistant professor of religion, di- rected the open forum on "Signs of the Last Days." Organized by committee mem- bers Dale Haskin, Ron Jensen, Carol Roth, and Les Werner, with guidance from the faculty sponsor, Miss Hilda Remley, the discussion group will continue to meet from 4-5 p.m. each Sabbath in the Stu- dent Center. Topics to be considered may be submitted to any of the committee members. Each one attending is urged to bring pen or pencil and Bible. November 11, 1960 Dr. Thomas S. Geraty Geraty Outlines Success Tells on Maxwell, Deiker Dr. Thomas S. Geraty, associate secretary in the General Confer- ence department of education, was on the Union College campus last week inspecting the educational system in the academy and the teacher training program at the college. Addressing the Teachers of To- morrow club at a special lunchcon January 30, Geraty gave the suc- cess formula for a teacher: "Ded- ication, development, and duty." "He was one of the best young teachers I had. He was really on the ball," said Elder C. Mervyn Maxwell, assistant professor of re- ligion, who once consulted this teacher with his twin brother be- cause one of them had received an A and the other an A- in writing. Another well-known student of Dr. Geraty"^, a little girl who always wanted to have another song for song service, was Del Dei- ker, contralto soloist for the Voice of Prophecy. "He's one of the nicest men we know," say Hermine and Hedvig Rosenberg of Dr. Geraty, who was president of Middle East College in Beirut, Lebanon, when they were there. Dr. Geraty addressed the student body at chapel time January 27. fflJlMertrpi Presents On Thursday, February 16, the Special Representative from Vogue will serve as special com- mentator at two pattern shows at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Auditorium — Fourth Our sewing instructor will be happy to help you with prob- lems of cutting, fitting and sewing—without charge. 9:30 to 5:30 daily Thursday 10 a.m. to 8:30 Community Savings Stamps Clock Tower President and Circulation Manager Resign Lee Allen, president and business manager of the CLOCK TOWEK, and Candy Dailey, circulation manager, have resigned at the end 1 of first semester, according to CLOCK TOWER financial advisor Paul Joice. His class load and work pro- gram make it impossible for Allen to fill the position of president for the second semester. Miss Dailey is resigning because of her heavy class schedule and practice teaching responsibilities. Both positions will be filled by action by the nominations and elections committee and other proper legislation. Until new officers are installed, Miss Dailey will continue her duties as acting circulation manager and Mr. Joice will perform the duties of business manager. College Board Meeting Set for February 22 The annual college board meet- ing will convene February 22 in the recreation room of Rees Hall to dis- cuss current and future plans, ac- cording to G. L. Caviness, academic dean. Included in the agenda are the annual college budget for the fiscal year 1961-1962, and the promotions in academic rank of members of the staff. Meeting in the college cafeteria Wednesday evening at 7, the college faculty and board members will have their traditional banquet. Members of the board are repre- sentatives from the Central, North- ern, and Southwestern Unions. Of- ficers include: Theodore Carcich, chairman; R. H. Nightingale, vice chairman; L. C.

Dale Haskins, president of the club, reports that this is a part of the new plans for this semester's club. It is hoped that this will inspire as well as help nurses just starting their training. At the last meeting of the club the new officers for this semester were elected. Dale Haskins, a soph- omore from Colorado, was chosen as president. For vice-president Evelyn Moore was chosen. Kathleen Lund is president elect, and Kathie Trumbo is correspondence secre- tary. The publicity secretary is Dorothy Potter.

No business club has been form- ed this year as in years past be- cause it was felt that the business majors and the secretarial majors were not interested enough in it. Teachers of Tomorrow About thirty members of Teach- ers of Tomorrow Club received their club pins at the meeting held Mon- day evening, January 30, in the Green room of the cafeteria. The pins were presented only to those members who have paid their dues, states Ruth Elain Atkinson, secretary-treasurer of the TOT. Elder Walter Howe, the Central Union educational secretary, and Carl Anderson, president of TOT, presented the pins. Elder T. S. Geraty, who was visit- ing the teacher training program on our campus, was the special speaker at the supper club meeting. He gave insights into the life of a teacher and related some of the interesting experiences that have happened in his years in education.

Each girl chose her material, pattern and the style to match her skin coloring and personality. Mrs. W. B. Higgins, instructor, emphasizes that students learn not only the art of sewing but also many valuable short cuts and profes- sional techniques that make their wardrobes attractive. "The girl becomes a more dis- criminating buyer, better able to balance the family budget and still be smartly dressed," she said. The upper-division Tailoring 132 class made suits and coats. "These students can proudly wear $50, $60, or $70 suits of the best possible quality and appearance, but which cost them only a third of the cur- rent prices at the best stores," ex- plained Mrs. Higgins. "Economic value is only a minor consideration in a 'sewing' class," she said, "compared to the values gained in careful planning and work of creating a custom-made garment."

L. Gemmell, psychology instructors, and the mental hygiene class Thursday, January 19. Therapy in all facets of living—physical, mental and occupational— is used to instruct thirty-one of the forty-one children recovering from emotional and mental illness at the state hospital. "The secret of success is the creation of a nearly normal situa- tion," noted student Donald Schroeder. Physical exercise is supervised daily by instructors who become the child's friend. "Regardless of what they do, they must always succeed," said Stone. Students are all taught from the same book. "Each child is instruct- ed individually, according to his own capacity," observed Schroeder. "Patients unable to comprehend, educational wise, have occupation- al therapy," said psychology stu- dent Jean Schunter. Painting, needlework, leather craft and clay modeling are used for therapy. "Many of the children are psy- chologically all right if given a chance," emphasized Stone. Dr. Richard M. Gray, superinten- dent, is assisted by a staff consist- ing of a psychologist, psychiatric social worker, clinical psychologist, teacher and attendants. The hospital serves fourteen counties in southeastern Nebraska.

Economical Planning Is Chic and Smart Former UC Students to Receive Graduate Degrees From Andrews University On September 26, 1960, fifteen former Union College students reg- istered at Andrews University on the new Berrien Springs campus. These fifteen were among a total of two-hundred-s even graduate students; one-hundred twenty- four of whom are in the Seventh- day Adventist Theological Semi- nary, and eighty-three in the School of Graduate Studies. "The University offers an excel- lent opportunity for the student to enlarge his total experience," states David Sharpe, Class of 1960 from Union College. "Both the mental application and the association with missionaries, teachers, pastors and others contribute to this growth," continues Mr. Sharpe, who at the present time is attend- ing Andrews University under the sponsorship of the Missouri Con- ference. Mr. Sharpe will receive his Mas- ter of Arts degree from the Semi- nary; as will Ronald Atkinson, Class of 1958; Albert Beierle, Class of 1960; Gene Gerdts, Class of 1960; Norman Graham, Class of 1960; Richard Jewett, Class of 1960; Jake Knight, Class of 1960; Wayne Olson, Class of 1945; Clarence Phil- pott, Class of 1960; and William Wilson, Class of 1960. Ben Steiner, Class of 1959, and Theodore Torkelson, Class of 1939 are preparing to receive their Bachelor of Divinity degrees. Those anticipating receiving their Master of Arts degrees from the School of Graduate Studies in- clude: Jerry Beem, Class of 1955; Mary Hoyt, Class of 1957; and Gor- don Kainer, Class of 1960.

Because our denomination has stood for internal support exclusive of the govern- ment, perhaps as college students and thinkers, CLOCK TOWER readers should evaluate the decision. Students in private schools on the college level are eligible for government loans ranging from small to considerably larger sums. Government scholarships are also obtained and used by students at Union College. Naturally such a loan is a financial support of the college involved. Personal resolution of the validity of denominational decisions such as this is important in the expression of an individual's self-respect. Therefore such a stand should find a logical response in individual thinking. How does this type of support affect our view of government aid to private schools? Are we being inconsistent in utilizing government funds for per- sonal education? Do we approach the situation as an institution or as individuals? Campus Clatter Clarified by CIus No one here has more loyalties for their home states than the Colorado and Minnesota students (with the possible exception, of course, of some students from certain areas in the South.) At least that is the observation of this columnist. Now the reasons for these loyalties have puzzled me. Even as a faithful Nebraska resident I have conceded that Coloradoans have something of which to feel proud—mountains and their beauty. But I continue to wonder what caused the Minnesotan's loyalties. Then I made a trip to Maplewood Academy. What binds these students to their state would appear to be family ties. We didn't have to hear the last name to know that Norma was Roberta Roedel's sister, or that Ruth Ann was Evie and Bernelda John- son's sister. I only had to hear Yvette's voice to know that she was Yvonne Peterson's little sister, or Latitia's voice to know that she was Crystal and DeEtta Eisenman's sister. Not so obvious, but similarities became apparent after we were introduced to Jerry Thayer's sister, Judy, Evan Swanson's cousin, Kit, and Carole Horst's sister, Pat. There were surely other brother-sister or cousin relationships be- cause of the frequency with which we heard such names as Rosassen, Misenko, Lushanko, Sherwood, Anderson, Johnson and Neilson.

"A Digest of the Known Facts" by Bill Swan For the short space that I must fill for you, it would be most proper to digest some item which is small yet common to us all. Take, for instance, the world. In this short column let's digest the world— that is, on the assumption that it will last long enough. In the last few days have been events which have caused me no little concern. The first and most fear-instilling item of them reveals the state of our defense. Each year our government spends multiplied billions of dollars for Distant Early Warning Systems, Texas Radar Towers, and photographic satellites; yet with all these marvels, it took our navy forty-eight hours to locate a sto- len luxury liner in our own aquatic back yard. Woooooo! If that luxury liner had been an enemy missile, we would have been Leditors . . . Dead Chivalry Dear Editor: A gentleman is a mature man. A typical college boy is a perfect gentleman. Most Union College men are typical. That is, they hold doors open for their co-ed sisters and help them down the slippery sidewalks. Speaking for the co-ed sisters, we appreciate it! But we do not appreciate the campus inhabitants who courteous- ly open the south door of the ad- ministration building and then run up three flights of stairs to throw a water balloon from the safety of a third-floor dormitory window. In fact we classify this type as clods, with every possible connotation of ungentlemanly conduct. And the same classification applies to those who hurl snow balls from same said safe fortress. As a recipient of three water balloons in one week and a shower of snow from some unidentified pranksters, I speak for Rees Hall members who do not enjoy such unchivalrous treatment. Maybe the good-old-days are dead and buried, a logical assump- tion in view of the facts.

Nevertheless, the fact still re- mains that I enjoy each issue. . . .

With the family name of Chim- panzee and the luscious first name of Ham, this little half-man showed his valor in an out-of-space jaunt which is likely to be his entering thrust into the fabulous field of politics. I predict: Ham Chimpan- zee will become the leader of the "New Frontier" party, which will use the launching pad as a party platform. What will the new party's symbol be? A zoot-suited monkey, of course! As a final ulcer soother, digest this: If you can keep your courage when all those around you are los- in'g theirs, Friend, you don't under- stand the seriousness of the sit- uation! Zhe Me art of the Valentine Tis Told of Bishop Valentine, between the history covers, That he penciled many a pretty line for shy unlettered lovers" So said the poet. The Encyclo- pedia Britannica, however, tells us that the good Bishop probably had nothing to do with estab- lishing his bir- t h d a y as a "lovers" day. There is a legend that says people began to cele- brate Febru- ary 14 because it was the mat- ing day for birds. Parties were held on February 14, which was the birthday of Saint Valentine. At these parties the on girls names were written pieces of p a p e r. The young men drew names. The young lady became the "Valentine" of the person who drew her name. Here at col- lege our mes- sages of senti- ment may be more sophisti- cated than the old time "Roses are red; violets are b 1 u e." The meaning of a valentine, however, is always the same. by Penny Shell "I always tell my student teach ers, 'If you can get through practice teaching liking it in spite of dis couragements, teaching your own class will be a thrill.'" • These words of Mrs. Lowell Welch, assistant professor of Eng- lish, tell of a plan to give exper- ience to students planning to teach academy classes—practice teach- ing. Approximately thirty students a year do some practice teachin; Those scheduled to practice teach this year are: Barbara Montgomery, Arnt Krogstad, Margaret Wilson, Anna Jo Allgood, Seng Chee Wu, Judy Fenner, Betty Bell, Alice Nel- son, Jere Brinegar, Jim Wilmot, Ron Mohr, John Uhrig, Lorene Warden, Tony Latessa, G e n i Kube, Jerry Aso, Nadeen Nichols, Warren Heyer, Jerry Thayer, Marilyn Moon, Anita Keith, Esther Evanenko, Candy Daily, Connie Hodson, Sandra Jul- ius, Robert Fast, Barb Cannard, Ramona Greenhaw, Esther Mayer, Charles Griffin, David Carleton and Maureen Moore. "It's good to meet problems while you have experienced teachers to refer to," said Judy Fenner, who practice teaches sophomore and junior English. "While teaching I've learned more about my area and I'm more sure about what I knew," stated Barbara Cannard, who has been teaching home economics. With Betty Bell these two agreed that knowing the subject with "all its side angles" is very important. While the necessity of student teaching has not been questioned, student teachers interviewed point- ed out its disadvantages. "There's a tendency to lean on your super- visor," mentioned Barbara Can- nard. "Preparation takes many hours and leaves you less time for your other studies," added Judy Fenner. Others beside student teachers are involved in the story. They are: Supervisors "When a student teacher is good, it naturally relieves the burden, but it's harder until he catches on," voiced Mr. James McKee, teacher- supervisor of math and science in the academy. "The first year I supervised I was jealous of the class time," re- called Mrs. Welch, who was super- visor for ten years in the academy. "One must learn to appreciate what they do; I've gained many good ideas from them." Confirming the idea that super- visors are sometimes jealous of their class, Mr. Clifford Newkirk, academy principal, said, "Our teachers must be willing not only to teach academy students, but to teach college students to teach." "Indirect discipline is hard for the supervisor," said Mrs. Welch, "but he should be one of the class, sitting in a desk and raising his hand if he has a contribution to make." "A supervisor should not be afraid to tell us in private what we're doing wrong," Betty Bell stated. Academy Student 'In general, I enjoy the change of scenery," was the opinion of Carol Clegg, who has had practice teachers since grade school days. "The practice teachers we like," said Karen Nyman, senior, "are those that really know their sub- jects and can put it across." She added, "Those that feel unsure make us feel unsure." Mr. Newkirk said students bene- fit from new ideas and pointed out that the I.Q.'s here are higher than in other Central Union academies. "My own children have had stu- dent teachers they preferred to their teachers," said Mrs. Welch. Course numbers 144 and 155 in- clude observation and teaching in the secondary level. With little ex- ception this is handled in the Union College academy. They are require- ments for those planning on an education major or minor. uwer Editor-in-Chief _ Associate Editor Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Beth Wells Betty Bell Dick Steubakken Dennis Olson Make-up Editor — Len Colson Sports Editor Jerry Thayer Colorado Campus Editor Lora Wood Columnists Patsy Gustin, Bill Swan Cartoonist Reporters Mary Jane Buchholz Egon Boettcher, Don Dishman, Ted Volenti, Warren Johnson, Jim Hoehn; Dick Stcnbakken, Ernest Lundin, Noel Fraser, Ardis Dick, Charles Griffin Dick Hammond, Jerry Schnell, Roy Bellinger, Roy Warren, Pat Phillips.
