Superstition Shadows Nevati Mission Experiences Lake Writes of his Mission Travels Ed. Note—Jerry Loke, UC's student missionary, is presently spend- ing his summer at the Nevati Mission Station, San Ramon, Chamcham- ayo, Peru. We swooped down via Fernando Stahl onto the Nevati Mission air strip the first week of June. The miracle of the plane had condensed the three-day grueling trip by foot and canoe from San Ramon, the last outpost of civilization, into 40 minutes of jungle and Andean mountain beauty. As we circled die hut-studded clearing previous to landing, the majestic green jungle rising round about as far as the eye could see, I knew that below me was mission life in die raw. Mrs. Fehrenbach's kerosene lamps and kerosene cook stove, the most modem facilities on the compound, and Elder Fehrcn- bach's total lack of power except manpower and a small lawn-type tractor confirmed die fact. One cannot remain long at the station without marveling at how much is accomplished widi so little to work with. Nevati Mission, head- quarters for the large tropical jungle area drained by the head- waters of the Amazon covering approximately 5,000 square miles, heads fourteen village schools em- ploying eighteen teachers. The far- diest outpost maintained by Sev- enth-day Adventists with an over- seas worker, Nevati is far away from everywhere, but certainly not God-forsaken. To see it is to be- lieve how primitive it is. Climbing from the plane, we stepped out into a civilization that had remained unchanged for cen- turies, steeped in ignorance and superstition until die advent of the Adventist to this region. Yet, even missionaries are not always miracle workers, and here and there one could see tell-tale evidence of bat- tles with the evil one that still re- mained for individuals to win. I did not fully understand nor appre- ciate the great change they had already made in their customary living until red achotc painted faces, pierced lips, filtliiness and superstition gave sharp contrast to the "Adventist" Indians. Education appears the only wa\ to spread the gospel rapidly. The language of the Campa Indian is very difficult to learn. By educat- ing some of the native children who can later be sent out farther into the wilds to give the gospel to their tribesmen who sit in heathen darkness, we can reach man)' more. The Indian teacher is also more capable of bearing the hardships that going into these areas entails. Five grades are taught in the Nevati school, while in some of the villages only one, two, or diree arc included in the curriculum. The cry for teachers is incessant. In order to have a teacher, a village must build a school, a church, and a house for die teacher. The school usual!)' doubles for the church. All are built of thatch and bam- boo in die native architecture, a shelter against the elements in the true sense of the thought. The structures are totally devoid of all comfort. The teacher is also charged with the responsibility of the religious activities of the village. Usually before a year lias elapsed most of the people have been baptized or are preparing for baptism. They have seen the Saviour in the clean and. non-superstitious life of their neighbors. The teacher's wage averages 823.87 a month, which even here is far from luxury. Some go with no wages. The mission does not have enough funds to support teachers—almost all must com from private donations. Medical help also is almost non- existent. Would that diose who cry that the native be left alone to live in his romantic blissful ignorance and superstition could see just how blissful it is. The cure for snake bite is a tea made of the flesh of the snake. One boy bitten by a neuro-tvpe pit viper was -brought to us. The cure was not working—as usual. Finally after a week of intensive car? he was brought back to the safety zone of life. His aunt had died three weeks before also from snake bite. She could not get to the mission station in time. On the trail last Monday «e came to a deserted hut in the midst of a small jungle clearing. Every- Educators Discuss Counseling Project Union College recently hosted a meeting of several educators who studied the special counseling pro- ject for college freshmen con- ducted by Dr. George P. Stone. Dr. Stone is an associate professor of education and psychology at Union College. He was recently appointed chairman of the department of education. Featured counselors were Dr. Don O. Clifton, associate professor of educational psychology and measurements at the University of Nebraska; and Dr. Gaylen Dodge of the Veteran's Administration. Beginning Sept. 1, 1965, Dr. Dodge will be the director of counseling and guidance at Psnn State Teacher's College. This meeting was held in the student center at 4:30 and contin- ued through the dinner hour in the college cafeteria. tiling was in place as if die owner had just stepped out for a, mo- ment. Outside was a cross diat marked the spot of the mother of two small children. A carved tree informed us of the deaUi of our church member on Sabbadi. In a small village we found a man who had cut his foot with a machete. Already die red fingers of infection were spreading up his leg. Another village disclosed a woman with pus-filled eyes swollen shut. For over a week her eyes had been this way. But, resigned to her fate, she continued to care for her family of six including two chil- dren of nursing age in a land where tho bottle and sanitation are al- most unknown and cooking is done over a smoking log flame. It is a paradox how the ugly germs of infection thrive in the beauty of the tropics. Dermal ul- cers and colds are prevalent, along with all their relatives. But the medical help that is so desperately needed is almost non-existent. Med- icine is dispensed by the mission when it can be gotten and com- pares somewhat favorably to a first aid program. Mrs. Fehrenbach is a nurse, but she has little to work with. Perhaps more sad than the ter- rific lack of medical help is die superstition. When an Indian dies from any cause, die matter is taken to the witch doctor to determine who was responsible for die death, lie drinks a herb called "Iowaska," which makes him quite drunk. In this condition he has a vision and points out die person who cast the evil spell taking the life away. The relatives then avenge die death with murder. Non-Adventist na- tives are terrifying problems to their relatives, as the witch doctor usually picks out an Adventist as the cause. Two little Adventist girls were attacked three Sabbaths ago in San Pablo by an old dying man's son as the cause for his losing ground. One was killed after a severe mangling. The odier escaped into the jungle widi severe machetc head wounds and body bruises. In Agua Chine we worked dili- gently to convince a young Indian fellow to attend our school and come to Bible studies. He had es- caped after a week in prison for killing his eight year old niece with a large stick and throwing her body into the river to avenge die death of his own daughter. Yet, super- stition is strong, and he was afraid to come. Many have been the adventures of this summer. I could not begin to cover the many thrilling and exciting experiences that I have been privileged to witness and participate in. A crying need for God and His changing power is manifested everywhere. It is a necessity to have more workers, but tiiere is no money to pay them. I close counting on your prayers.

Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska, August 5, 1965 No. 19 College Furniture Grows for 25 Years Twenty-five years, from 1940 to 1965—this is the age of the College Furniture Factory on the campus of Union College. These twenty- five years have been a quarter of a century of progress, years in which the building has quadrupled its original space and die number of employees has risen from 9 in 1940 to 65 in 1965. In July, 1940, Mr. R. J. De Vice came to Lincoln and Union Col- lege from Auburn, Washington, where he had managed a furni- ture factory at Auburn Academy. Mr. De Vice was called to be the manager of the College Furniture Factor)', which started as a factor)' making unfinished softwood prod- ucts. By 1947 the factory had grown enough to start a line of hardwood and finished furniture, and by 1950 the line was extended to include bedroom suites. "At the time/' commented Mr. De Vice, "we had only been making odd chests, desks, and bookcases. The expand- ed line was a big boost to the factory." In 1962 the factory started mak- ing a new high-quality line of oak furniture. Mr. De Vice states that the factory "now has the distinc- tion of making the finest quality of furniture in any denomination- ally operated furniture factory." Too keep in line with the in- creased operations, the fourth ad- dition to the original plant vvas completed in 1964. This addition gave more space for sample room and warehouse storage. In the spring of 1966 the final addition to the furniture factory is expected to be started. The purpose of this addition is to give room to con- voyerize or automate the complete operation so that the plant can compete with the furniture manu- facturing business as a whole. Now in 1965 the factory has grown even more and Mr. De Vice predicts that the 1965 year will be the highest sales year in die history of the plant. "We have grown from the very beginning from serving furniture stores in the immediate area to serving many other states. In fact, we now serve 39 of the 50 states, and we ship to both the west and the east coasts. But even with this expanded area 80% of the sales are within a radius of 700 miles from Lincoln." With these increased figures, the main purpose of this furniture plant is to give labor to students at the college. Training of the hand, the mind, and the heart are all stressed. This purpose is readily shown to be put into practice, for $1,200,000 worth of student labor has been recorded on the books. Mr. De Vice, who has been at the plant for 18 of the 25 years, expresses his sentiments diat "die plant is looking forward to many more years of service to Lincoln and the surrounding areas, as well as the other points of the United States." R. J. De Vice, Manager of College Furniture Factory, celebrates 25 years of service to Union College. Tecchers Travel to LSC For Quadrennial Meeting The biennial college and uni- versity administrators meeting will be held August 2-5 in New York. President R. W. Fowler, Mr. George Gott, business manager and Mr. Glenn Davenport, die new col- lege relations officer, Mr. Lee Al- len, assistant to the business man- ager, and Elder R. II. Nightingale will represent Union. Sponsored bv the General Con- ference the meeting is to be held at Camp Berkshire, a former country club recently purchased bv the denomination. About sev- enty delegates from SDA colleges in the United States and Canada are expected to attend. Union Col- lege was the site of the 1963 meet- ing. The puqiose of the meeting is to discuss the problems facing our schools and to find possible solu- tions. Separate programs are sched- uled for presidents, business man- agers, and public relatioms dele- gates. On die odier end of die conti- nent, at La Sierra, California, the Sevcndi-day Adventist College Sec- tional meetings will convene Au- gust 18-25. This is the year for the English, foreign language, educa- tion, library, and physical educa- tion instructors to meet. Those on the college staff planning to at- tend are: from the English depart- ment, Mr. Verne Welitje, Mr. Bruse Ronk, Mrs. Opal Hagelgantz, Mr. Jeriel Howard, Mr. Victor Griffiths; from languages, Miss Pearl Hall, Dean G.

Costing $316,000 the new addi- tion will add 17,500 square feet of floor space. This will more tiian double the size of the science de- partment. The new addition will house offices, advanced labora- tories for the chemistry, physics, and biology departments, and in- crease storage space. The construction of diis build- ing has been made passible largely through die donation of $40,000 given by Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Plumb of Grants Pass, Oregon. The re- maining $276,000 will come from the building appropriations fund. The name of Jorgensen Hall will remain, but the new part will be named after Dr. and Mrs. Plumb. Two years of planning have been done with the men of the science department. They have visited sev- eral odier colleges to gain ideas. This is the first academic building to be constructed on die Union College campus since 1946 when the present science building was built. It is also the first in a series of academic buildings to be con- stmctcd on campus widiin the noar future. 2 CLOCK TOWER August 5, 1965 Cycling Enthusiast Visits Union On 2700-Mile Cross-Country Adventure Vio Vail lot to, a sixteen year-oH bicycle enthusiast, visited the Un- ion College campus recently. Jle was on die last leg of a 2700-ir.ile bicycle trip stretching from Sun Valley, California, to Grand Rap- ids, Minnesota. It was an unusual set of circum- stances which brought Vic to the college. While he was cycling in western Nebraska, Pastor Garcia of the Spanish Seventh-day Ad- ventist church in Scottsbluff stop- ped and offered him a ride. Pastor Gare'a, who had once raced bi- cycles in Puerto Rico, invited Vie- to stay widi him. During his stav the discussion naturally turned to religion. Being of an atheistic background, Vic found it hard to accept creation in place of evolution. Pastor Garcia, unable to answer all of his questions, suggested that he visit Union College and discuss the subject with some of the sci- ence teachers. He talked to several professors and spent much of his time reading material given to him on the subject. Vic left Sun Valley on June 16 riding his Schwinn Continental 10- speed bicycle on what he called a "fantasy come to life." He avei- ages 70 to 100 miles a day while carrying a 50 pound pack. He conserves on money by sleeping on an air mattress at night and working for his meals when pos- sible. After 2200 miles he had spent only $8.00. He is not on any schedule but does just what he wants "whenever die whim hits him." When he finally reaches Grand Rapids, his mother will be there, and they will return to California by car. Vic contends that by traveling in a car, a person just cannot get a true picture of the country. Tim country is people, and one must travel slowly to get to the heart of life in this country. Each town, each area has its own personality and observation of the changing moods of each area is essential to an understanding of the country as a whole. From his many traveling ex- periences, Vic amusingly recalled the night he spent in the King- Theology Students Aid in Evangelism The evangelistic meetings in Ok- lahoma City conducted by the Field Evangelism class concluded on July 3. The smallest attendance during this series of meetings was about 300, and the largest attend- ance was over 400. There are about 40-50 non-Adventist people now at- tending the Sabbadi services as a result of these meetings. Elder F. W. Bresee, assistant professor of religion, delivered the sermons. The Bible-marking plan was used, and at die end of the meetings a Bible was presented to each one who was in regular at- tendance at the meetings. Everv morning special clashes were held for die students: Mike Doming, Jim Coleman, William George, Gayland Richardson, Ger- ald Rexin, Ed Sharpe, Wayne Han- cock, Ron Wham, and Bob Bird. In the afternoon these men visited the homes of interested people. The eleven students also participated in a singing group and in ushering for tho meetings. They are receiving four hours of credit for this pro- gram. During die rest of the summer, Wayne Hancock will be assisting Elder George Reid, pastor of the Oklahoma Citv Church. Ed Sharpe will assist in preparation for a ser- ies of evangelistic meetings in Ill- inois. Gayland Richardson is con- ducting the music for a series of meetings being held by the evan- gelist of the Missouri Conference. Each one of tfiese men received $200.00 from the conference in which they are located, $100.00 from the -local union, and $100.00 from Union College. Preparing to leave Union, Vic Vaillette displays his 10-speed bi- cycle locded for travel. man, Arizona, jail. Thwarted by a c;t ' ordinance from sleeping in the park, Vic was told at the police :,t ton diat thev could give him a room in jail that night. He- was locked in a cell occupied by a convictcd burglar and he settled down to sleep in the first bed since his trip began. Immedi- .telv the bored inmate engaged him ir. conversation and almost the ert're- night was spent talking. The next morning Vic proceeded on his wav quite unrefreshed and dis- appointed that he couldn't have enjoyed die "luxury" of a jail bunk. Vic states diat he could not have made it without all the help people have given him. From the doctor who dismissed his service charges with onlv the words, "I used to ride a bicycle 35 miles across a desert," to the miner who quite possibly saved Vic's life when he aided him after he had a flat tire in the middle of an Ari- zona desert, Vic has had to de- pend upon a humble faith in hu- manity—a faith that has been vast- ly increased by the trip. There is nothing about the trip Vie would change. He strongly recommends such an experience to even one he meets. As a short and appropriate summary of the trip he describes it as a marvelous ex- perience." Siudenf,Church Members Examine Dead Sea ScroSBs More than 200 Union College students and community people visited Joslvn Art Museum in Omaha to view die Dead Sc.i Scrolls. The group was led .on guided tours by Joslvn employees. Before viewing the exhibit a series of slides were shown giving a background of the Dead Sea, Essenic ruins, and the Qunira Com- munal set-up. Tables where the scrolls were written, bronze ink- wells, and ink made from soot and mixed with honey to avoid running were found in the ruins. The lecturer specifically stressed the idea that "these were real people who wrote these scrolls. The v weren't imaginary. They ate, slept, and lived much the same as the modern world." Written on leather pieces, the scrolls had to be moistened before they could be unrolled. Archaeolo- gists sifted the dust in the caves to pick up fragments of documents. Over 400 pieces were found in one cave. The Palestine Archaeological Museum, Jerusalem, Jordan, sent the exhibit to die United States in care of the Smidisonian Institute. In the spring of 1947 shepherds a c c i d e n 11 y stumbled onto tlie scrolls while looking for a lost goal. A rock thrown into the cave didn't scare the goat as planned but the shepherds heard die sound of pot- tery breaking. It wasn't until April 11, 1948, that the scrolls were termed as "valuable." Ten caves were investigated but die best ones were No. 3, No. 4, and No. 11. ' Cave No. 1 yielded parts of 200 scrolls', including two chapters of Habakkuk, the Rules of the Com- munity and a Manual of Discipline. The second cave contained a Psalm Scroll, Leviticus, and a description of the New Jerusalem. The Hebrew Old Testament, ex- cluding the book of Esther, was found in Cave No. 4. More dian 400 scrolls were identified after thousands of fragments were pieced together. Cave No. 3 con- tained the only document written on co'ipcr. Th.- B. chtel Psalm Scroll is the bt-j.t preserved scroll. It measures over 13 feet in length. Thirty-eight psalm? from LV and V of the Psalter (No. 9-150) are inscribed plus seven apocryphal psalms not well-known. This scroll is written in Hebrew and dated about A.D. 30-50. An unusual papyrus background applied in antiquity is on the frag- ment of the Samuel Scroll. These two books of Samuel are in good preservation. An Archaic Exodus is the oldes; Biblical manuscript found. The fragment of Exodus 40: 8-27 is dated in the mid third century B.C. The War Scroll's theme is the "war that is being waged in the 'last clays.' The Spirit of Darkness and his angels oppose the Lord and his angels and the children of Light —tho true Israel." This scroll is titled "The War of the Children of Light against die Children of Darkness." The document belongs to the last half of the first ccnturv B.C. The Dead Sea Scrolls arc not only religious literature but in- cludes apocrypha] and pseudo- epigraphical works. Commentaries on the Bible were found, besides some of the Essene documents— rules, litiguries, blessings, hymns, and calendar material. Besides their historic value oil the Biblical texts, literature, and Essenic customs, the scrolls enable tho translations of die Bible to be improved. These documents show how carefully the text of the Bible has been transmitted in the last 2000 years. The striking similarity of the texts of the Biblical scrolls and die Hebrew Bible shows how few errors have crept in during the last two millenniums of copying and printing. The scrolls are also making possible great advances in the stud)' of Sematic paleography— tho analysis of scripts.

Sponsored by the College View Church and the Tcinperance So- ciety, the Five-Day Plan will be oreceded by a "Smokers Dial" at t'nc end of August. A denominational booth at the Nebraska State Fair will be man- ned by students from the College View Aoademy Temperance So- ciety. In addition to the temperance literature on display, a "Smokers Dial" will also be sot up at the booth. The Five-Day Plan will begin September 12 under the guidance of die Union College Education For Better Living Service. Dr. Dale Allen and Elder R. C. Gage will conduct die plan in die Lin- coln Telephone Building. Psychology (lass Visits Beatrice Twenty members of the psy- chology of human growth and de- velopment class, under the instruc- tion of Dr. George Stone, visited the Beatrice State Home for the Mentally Retarded on July 12. The visit corresponded widi dieir study of mental development. It helped the students realize more full)' the different degrees of men- tal handicap, as well as its causcs, and the way the problem is han- dled. William F. Chollar, director of education, acquainted die group widi the size and purpose of the State Home and gave an illustrated lecture on the various types of mental retardation. The institu- tion is responsible for over 2500 retardates, who may be divided into two groups, those that are mildly retarded and those that are severe- ly retarded. It consists of a 50-acre campus with 25 large buildings, a 40-acre irrigated garden, a 498-acie farm, and a dairy. The State Home works with those who are only mildly retarded in order to toach them many skills and to help them aehicve a meas- ure of independence in everyday life at the Beatrice State Home, at home widi dicir parents, or on job placement in any Nebraska com- munity. For those who are severe- ly retarded, total general care in their everyday living is the most important thing that can be done for them. The student group visited classcs for both educational work and art, craft, and vocational training. Tours, conducted by several of die employees, were taken through die wards where die retarded live, the hospital, and kitchen area. Don't look now but it's me.

MIDWEST HEALTH FOOD DISTRIBUTORS 3845 So. 48th Lincoln, Nebraska 68506 Neophyte P5iD/s Honored In New Union Tradition In 1960 Union College initiated a practice of honoring professors who have just obtained doctorate degrees, and the practice has now grown to be a unique tradition. Each professor receiving a doctor- atc degree is honored at a ban- quet in recognition of his achieve- ments. According to Dr. G. L. Caviness, i'.cademic dean, the recognition dinners have a two-fold purpose. Sinco many of the doctoral candi- dates are unable to attend their own graduation services because c-r distance or beoause the cere- monies are on Sabbath, the din- ner many times serves as a substi- tute for die graduation service. Secondly, the dinners arc to en- courage faculty members to finish their doctorate degrees. Tho first parties were held at the Congress Inn, but for the List four years they have been at King's Buffet in Lincoln. The attendance is restricted to die administrative officers, department chairmen, and faculty members who have doctor- ate degrees. The Last person to be honored at such a party is re- sponsible for planning the next dinner and he also serves as master or ceremonies. Table decorations are generally made to fit in with die doctoral field of die lionoree. After dinner oomeone introduces the first bon- oree and gives a brief life history of the honoree. The honc/ree is al- lowed a few minutes to give a speech concerning his research. The procedure is repeated if there is more dian one honoree. The honoree receives a White Dot Sheaffer desk pen engraved with his name. His wife receives a corsage and also a small gift, usu- ally perfume. To each member of the Union College Doctoral Faculty is pre- sented the "baby diploma." This certificate reads: "By the authority of die administrative officers, de- partment chairmen and present holders of official union cards Turner Heads Service Department The janitor and grounds depart- ments have been combined to form the custodial department under the direction of Elder Joshua Turner. He is assisted by William Coble in the area of grounds, and Mrs. Sam Renk is in charge of the janitorial work inside the college buildings. Kyle Grant takes care of ordering custodial supplies for die department and also for the dormi- tories. Mr. Turner has recently cm- ployed the use of a walkie-talkie system as a means of keeping in touch with the central office in the grounds department building while he is anywhere on campus. The of- fice girl can receive die message, and man)' times she records them for future use. In the future the department will also have an inter- com system. Your SDA station Closed Sat.

Dr. Rowland, the second person to be honored at such an event, commented, "The dinner makes us feel a little more appreciated, and it encourages us to stay at Union." Elder Gage to Pastor College View Church Elder R. C. Gage is die new associate pastor of the College View Church. He and his wife, Linda, and their two children, Ricky, 7, and Melodie, 4, come from Norfolk, Nebraska, where Elder Gage was district pastor. He has also done pastoral work in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Elder Gage became a Sevendi- cl.iv Adventist after he completed the Twentieth Century Bible cor- respondence course that he re- ceived with a Bible as a high school graduation gift. He attended Atlantic Union College and re- ceived his B.A. in Theology in 1957. He continued his education at Andrews University and receiv ed his M.A. in 1959. Tho purpose of a second asso- ciate pastor is to divide the re- sponsibilities into two fields. Elder G. W. Morgan, the other associate pastor, is an associate treasurer. Elder Gage concentrates on evan- gelism. lie also leads out in lav activities, some of which were formerly managed bv a Bible in- structor.

Marathon Scholar of 12 Summers Returns for Post Graduate 13th Tho sparkling blue eves and shining blonde hair had been dull- ed by die long siege of illness. The usually spry step had been slowed to a lower pace and the days seem- ed to drag by. Such was die condition of the usually energetic, ambitious Mrs. Inez Grossman when she found herself left completely in charge of a farm and two daughters. But Ihe aftermath of such an illness didn't slow Mrs. Crossman very long. In a matter of a few weeks, with the help of her father, who had come to her aid during diis time of need, the farm was back on an operating basts with the vigorous Mrs. Grossman at its head. Later her energy was to be directed to- ward a college degree in elemen- tary education. Before the early morning rays had pierced the gray mist of die morning, one could see a light shin- ing in the kitchen window. Mrs. Grossman was busy getting break- fast for her family so that all could go out and work. Mornings were always spent with the help of her two daughters and her father doing all the chores that go along with a farm. While the morning air was still cool, the garden had to be weeded and vegetables picked for eating and canning. Animals had to be fed and their lodging places clean- ed for a new day. By the time these chores were finished, it was time to begin preparing die noon meal. The afternoons were spent can- ning, washing, ironing, sewing, and cleaning. When a spare moment happened to present itself, all were busy pursuing hobbies. Then when evening oame, gath- ering eggs, milking cows, and get- ting everything ready for the night were chores performed by Mrs. Grossman and her two daughters. Her father was getting along in years and could not be expected to do a lot. It wasn't long after Mrs. Grossman's recovery until the two daughters left die farm to attend high school, and Mrs. Grossman was solely in charge of the farm. About diis time, Mrs. Grossman was approached and asked if she wouldn't consider returning to the teaching profession. She had taught school before her family had made its appearance, but she had only by Patsy Springfield obtained a high school education. Upon her decision to go back into teaching, her college career started. For twelve summers she attend- ed summer school consistently. During the winters she increased the load of teaching in one-room schools by taking correspondence. And last summer, twelve years af- ter going back into teaching, she received her B. S. from Union Col- lege. Her grades were typical of her ambitious nature. She studied industriously, and her record show- ed all A's and B's. Mrs. Grossman was around the campus the first part of this sum- mer. She was here for one semester taking two hours of supervised teaclring which were required bv dio state of Kansas. Now she is back home at her farm in Neo- dash.1, Kansas, enjoying herself while she is canning all sorts of things from her garden. Next fall he will be teaching again in Hutchinson, Kansas, where she has taught for the past four years. Mrs. Grossman is a person who loves to travel. In 1960 she joined the Union College History Tour to Europe and visited fifteen coun- tries. She has traveled in die north- eastern and southern parts of the United States and in Mexico. Now that her college work is finished, Mrj. Grossman plans to travel just as much as she can and visit all th'j places she has not yet visited. This summer she plans to vacation n Florida. Next to traveling, perhaps her favorite hobbv is collecting shells. Mrs. Grossman is always on the lookout for shells in all the differ- ent places she visits. She has also interested her grandchildren in this fascinating pastime. Along with shells, she collects dishes from var- ious places. As you may have no- ticed, these last two hobbies are closely related to her travels. When not busy traveling, Mrs. Gro.sman pursues hobbies a little closer home. She loves to work in the kitchen canning, baking, or an; thing that can be done in a kitchen. She also spends time mak- ing quilt blocks and then piecing her quilt tops. When weary of in- door hobbies, all she has to do is step outside and work at her plants, among which is quite a collection of cacti. This is another facet of life that interests her and one she am look into while she is on her travels. She has many varieties of cacti which she has brought home. There is one more hobby which shows without any doubt that Mrs. Crossman has been and probably always will be a teaoher at heart. Each summer that she has attend- ed summer school, she has noticed / Melvin E. Wolford Dr. Mill Robbed and Bound By Early Morning Intruders Dr. Melvin S. Hill, professor of music at Union College, and three others were bound early Wednes- day morning, July 28, when two hooded men entered a home in Takoma Park, Maryland. A coin collection valued at $400 and •$40 in cash was taken. Dr. Hill was at the home of his brother, Paul Hill, in Takoma Park. Paul is the voice and music teach- er at Columbia Union College, Ta- koma Park, Maryland. About 5 a.m. the intruders slit a kitohen screen door, entered die house, and awoke the four at gunpoint. Dr. Hill was the first to be awakened. "They flipped on a light, poked me with a knife, and demanded my money," explained Dr. Hill. "I had about $30 in my wallet and 'they couldn't believe diat I didn't have more than diat." Dr. Hill was 'tied widi Venetian blind cords dien Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hill in die adjoining room were awakened and the procedure re- peated. "They made us lie on our faces, ripped a number of my hus- band's neckties, and tied our hands and feet with neckties and belts," commented Mrs. Paul Hill. "Thev kept demanding to know where our money was hidden. My husband had only $2 in his wallet and this made them very angry. They kept twisting his arm so finally he told tihem of his collection of old, rare American pennies." Angry at not finding more cash the burglars snapped Dr. Hill's glasses in ihalf and threw die pieces at him and ripped his billfold. Sev- eral silver dollars and other odd coins were also taken. Also bound was Constance Funk, 19, of Gilbertsville, Pa., a student at Columbia Union Col- lege. She made her home with die Paul Hill's. Tho Paul Hill's four children sleeping on die lower floor were not awakened except for Kathleen, age 9,2. After ordering their vic- tims to remain cjuiet the burglars left. "We obeyed for about ten minutes," said Mrs. Hill. "Then we gave the family whisde and Kath- leen ran upstairs, got the shears and turned us loose." Meanwhile Paul Hill had hit the bedroom phone with his feet and knocked tho receiver from the hook. Mrs. Hill dialed die operator and explained their situation. Ta- koma Park police 'responded with- in minutes. The intruders wore hoods which looked like pillowcases with only slits for dieir eyes. Heavy outer clodiing and big gloves also con- cealed the men so diat "not an inch of their features was visible." The burglars were anned with a knife and a gun. Starting August 1 Dr. Melvin Hill is the guest band conductor of tho Potomac Conference Music Camp held at Montebello, Virginia. His brother, Paul, is in charge of the voice clinic. —Something New— Some Rain Must Foil Heart Cry By Foith Alone Only $3.50 for oil three Nebraska Book & Bible House 4745 Prescott Open Sundays Wiener's Texaco Tires, Batteries, Accessories Complete Service 48th t Calvert 488-9990 OPP'S DX SERVICE Tires, Botteries, Accessories, Minor Repair Work And Tune-up Service Stop and See Eckhart-Larry-Fordycc 488-9883 48th & Pioneei 4 CLOCK TOWER August 5, 1965 'Red' Tape Frustrates World Tour by Jim Gardiner Greetings again from Europe! proved to be the most serious of three days.

The rest of us, of course, had gotten out on our own power, thank God. After regaining our senses, die five of us began to realize that we were not completely untouched by injury. A 7-stitch cut had found its way into Betty Coleman's head. Norita Nelson and Oiven Petersen painfully moved about with very sore backs. Donna Lar- son discovered a 5-inch gash, an inch deep, into the calf of her right leg. It was this injury that on to a Cairo hospital, then to Soviet Russia, and then to Scan- dinavia, she has had a great va- riety of experiences, some good and some not so good. I shall givp you a look at some of her adven- tures—especially those in Soviet Russia. After the Suez doctor had done his work of stitching up Betty and Donna and checking Norita's back, Donna and Betty departed for Cairo via a twin-engine airplane. Norita and Owen came by ambu- lance. The doctors in Cairo gave the girls a thorough check-over and kept them in a hospital foi going nowhere, except to the hos- pital. Due to lack of sanitary con- ditions on the desert, infection had set into her leg making its condi- tion quite serious.

Mr. Hep- ker had attempted to accompany her, but was firmly refused ad- mittance to the ambulance, and Donna was rushed off into the Russian darkness alone. "Tho Russian hospitals," Donna commented later, "furnish excel- lent medical help, but are sadly unfurnished and crude." For four days she remained in the Moscow hospital, resting assured that the Intourist agency would safely plan her exit from Soviet Territory, In the meantime, the group had traveled on to Leningrad and out through the Iron Curtain into Hel- sinki, Finland. It was about this time that Mr. Hepker discovered Donna's passport in his pocket- in Finland! Her visa, just as im- portant as the passport, had been trustingly left with Intourist. On Friday, July 9, Donna was Intourist. However, as they discov- ered later, no such permission existed. The officials there refused to let Donna leave. After an hour of heated debate, a Finnish air- plane pilot finally convinced the passport control office that to keep her there with no prospect of get- ting another visa would be useless, and they let her fly on to Helsinki. It was a tired, lonesome, but relieved and happy Donna that finally met the rest of die group in Oslo, Norway. Of course she had much to tell; much more than I can write here. Some may ask, whatever hap- pened to the visa, or what happen- ed to the many cheery notes writ- ten by tour members that never got past Intourist to Donna, or what about the many unkept promises from Russian officials?

If this is the way someone is trying to abolish the CT staff, lie might very well accomplish his purpose. But we have ^ no intentions of succumbing to this torture without a fight. Instead, we try to think of the long trudge to the transferred CT office as a new physical-fitness program intended to strengthen our stamina. This is no mere muscle-toning pro- gram, but a survival course meant for only the fittest. Having accomplished the journey to fifth floor, we face a completely new set of hardships. A stifling blast of summer heat withers us while the fumes of fresh paint choke us. Stumbling forward we stop suddenly and stare, not daring to believe our eyes. But look! Footprints outlined in white plaster dust are leading somewhere. Is this a mirage? Controlling our ex- citement, we plunge into an oasis of comparative order. A cooling "Vornado" fan breeze whisks away the choking fumes. At last we have reached the CT palace. Perhaps this is why UC writers have not been beating a path to our door in response to our desperate HELP WANTED. Or could it be that our little red dot labeled the "panic button" makes them suspicious? Or are they frightened by that blank stare on a staff member's face when that clock strikes eleven—then twelve—then one-and this editorial is still unfinished. But now feelings of pride and sadness well up within our hearts as we see the end of our mission approaching. Sad- ness-because we're the first staff to be cleared out of the attic by the incoming staff; pride—because we see ourselves as pioneers, the first to re-civilize the "Castle." "Be it twelve or be it two We've worked—now we're through. Old Clock Tower bell, To you—farewell." South Hall Girl-liilas Defend Flyway Our game of musical chairs with the park benches rages on. The latest tabulation shows the boys ahead by two benches. For those readers who haven't been on campus this summer it will be necessary to explain the situation more fully. Shortly after the beginning of summer school, park benches, taken from all over the campus, began appearing in a small area between the cafeteria and the ad building. Within a few weeks hardly one bench remained any place on campus other than the designated area just outside the cafeteria. Ah! These benches were different from the isolated ones they had been only a few days before. Originally they had been distributed evenly over the lawns for all the students to enjoy, but now they were congested in front of that small portion of the campus known as the "Cafeteria Flyway." Upon these benches sat a "select" group from South Hall. Our reason for using the term "select" is that we feel sure that the gentlemen from South Hall do not wish to be numbered among tho boisterous, clammering school boys that keep these benches warm. But on with our story. After several days of trying to ignore and tolerate the childish displays and' insulting com- ments thrown from the peanut gallery to the passersby, a committee of Park Bench Movers was nominated and set to work. In the early dawn, as the clew was rising, so were several committee men and women. In an effort to point out the error of the Bench Warmers, the movers' committee arranged the benches in a straight line, one behind the other, 25 feet apart, across the entire width of the campus. Of course this act only stimulated the Bench Warmers to greater retaliatory efforts. Soon the mcnt is that of checks ancl balances between the three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. The President can veto a congressional act, but Congress is able to over-ride the veto. The Supreme Court can declare an act of Congress to be unconstitutional, but all appointments to the Supreme Court are made by the President. These checks were incorporated into the constitution benches were lined up end to end along the edge of the side- for the prevention of governmental control by any one branch; walk in the designated area. thus the will of the people might always prevail.

The November 1964 general election was not only a stunning victory for Lyndon B. Johnson, it also hog-tied Congress, and Johnson has not been slow in putting his brand on it. Everything Congress has done this session lias been at Johnson's- direction. With the appointment of Justice Arthur Goldberg to the United Nations, the way is clear for Johnson to extend his influence to the Supreme Court. The man Johnson names will most certainly bear the LBJ brand. No one man, no one branch of government has the right to control the nation. No benches.
