Sunday Recital Features Lehto In the first of the senior music majors' recitals this year, Char- lotte Lehto will present a pro- gram of piano at 8:00 p.m. Sun- day, December 15, in the Engel Hall recital room. Charlotte is a student of Miss Betty Christensen in her fourth year at Union. Her recital will encompass several periods of music history from Rameau to Bartok. Brown, Holman To Lead Classes Bill Brown, a business admin- istration major from Pendleton, Oregon, was elected president of the Senior Class of 1958 on Wed- nesday, November 20. One week later, November 27, the Junior class chose Chuck Holman, a bi- ology major from Davenport, Iowa, to be their president this year. Radio KVUC Begins Broadcasting at 620 kc by Arthur Hauck If you have been hearing some strange noises on your radio, re- cently, don't be alarmed. Union College's radio station, KVUC, has been experimentally probing the air waves and has finally de- cided to make its nesting place at 620 on the radio dial. The engi- neering problems largely sur- mounted, thanks to Union's Physics department, KVUC, with a five-watt carrier current trans- mitter, is now on the air cover- ing the campus with a variety of student-featured programs. The greater share of the pro- gramming is planned, directed and produced by the members of the Fundamentals of Broadcast- ing class. These include such weekly features as "Sound Off," a discussion of various themes and "Notes from the KVUC Scrapbook," in which the mem- bers from most of the Speech classes contribute their varied tidbits from the "ole" book's multifarious pages. KVUC also offers campus news, campus sports, inspirational spots, a re- ligious news digest, science news digest, general interest an- nouncements, classical music fea- turing individual Hi-fi albums, and other diverse features, live and recorded. Further studies are being made on how best to utilize our campus "newcomer," KVUC, as a useful educational medium. To assist Brown, the seniors selected Lola Cleveland from Forest City, Iowa as vice-presi- dent. Billie Deming, of Lincoln, is the secretary and Dick Roder- ick from Frazee, Minnesota, the treasurer. The Sergeant-at-arms is Wally Specht from Loveland, Colorado. Jim Hagerman, from Ulysses, Kansas, and L e r o y Moore, of Oklahoma City, Okla- homa, are pastor and parliamen- tarian, respectively. The juniors have for vice- president Bonnie Smith from Aberdeen, South Dakota. Other Junior officers are Myrna Kah- ler, Brainerd, Minnesota, sec- etary; Dale Mock, Santa Maria, Texas, treasurer; Ted Wick, Loveland, Colorado, pastor; and Melvin Schultz, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Parliamentar- ian. The faculty sponsors for the senior class are Dr. R. E. Cleve- land and Mr. Arthur Hauck. Those for the juniors are Dr. D. K. Brown and Dr. H. G. Rein- muth. MA To Sponsor Omaha Caroling Under the chairmanship of Robert Beck, ministerial senior from Colorado, a student com- mittee is organizing a special missions promotion effort in Omaha on December 11. One hundred and forty students will visit two thousand homes, carol- ing and. soliciting funds for the extension of the Advent gospel. The Ministerial Association has undertaken to sponsor this proj- ect, and the following were ap- pointed to the committee on plans in addition to the chair- man: Gene Gerdts, in charge of territory distribution and ap- pointment of band leaders; Mar- vin Moore, general organizer; Laurell Peterson, secretary of the committee in charge of sta- tistical reports and the general "paper work"; and Norman French, ministerial senior from Nebraska, who takes care of lit- erature and other supplies and serves as liaison man with the Omaha church and police author- ities. Walt Disney's award-winning nature film, "The Living Desert," will have its first showing at Union tomorrow night at 8:00 in the college auditorium, the pro- ceeds going to the CLOCK TOWER. The seventy-minute color doc- umentary was the first full- length feature of Disney's True- Life Adventure series. His "Van- ishing Prairie" was shown to a sell-out audience here last year. The Great American Desert, extending from Oregon to Mex- ico east of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges, is the setting for the film depicting the struggle for existence among the desert's animal life. Natural History magazine de- scribes it as "an epitome of des- ert activity that is as surprising as it is unique . . . The marvels disclosed in this film must be seen before one can sense their full significance." Some of the scenes include a fight between a hawk and a rattlesnake and the courting dance of the scorpions. Admission prices for the pic- ture are students and faculty, 50 cents; other adults, $1.00; chil- dren and two-sub recipients, free. Laura Gillham, CLOCK TOWER secretary-treasurer, is in charge of ticket sales. Also shown will be several short features, according to CLOCK TOWER Business Man- ager Harold Heath. Cox Will Speak In Christmas Vespers Kenneth Cox, senior religion major, will be the speaker for a Christmas-themed program at the December 13 Friday night service in the church. Sponsored by the Student Association, the program will feature ministerial students of the college. Singing of Christmas carols by the audience and numbers by the Male Chorus will be included in a twenty-minute program of Christmas music under the direc- tion of Jackie Schimke. Printed programs will feature a special Christmas message from Presi- dent Bieber. Schedule Set For Summer Sessions A revision in the summer ses- sions has been announced for the summer of '58. The three-week session previously held in Aug- ust will now begin June 8, seven days following Commencement. The nine-week session is sched- uled to start June 28. There will be no change in classes given, however. Previously the nine-week pe- riod has been held first, follow- ing Commencement by a week, with the shorter session follow- ing it later in the summer. Scheduling the sessions in this order will enable a greater ma- jority of both teachers and stu- dents to attend General Confer- ence which meets June 18-28 in Cleveland, Ohio. According to Dr. E. B. Ogden, this will also work to the ad- vantage of the History Tour. Those not able to go on this trip because of summer school will now be able to participate and still be back for the nine-week session. Students Celebrate Thanksgiving At Their Home Away From Home' by Bob Conway, Assistant Editor There may be "no place like home for the holidays," but for nearly 700 "campus-bound" savants Union College provided a pretty good substitute this Thanksgiving. Co-ordinating Committee Wlth Studies Financial Plans A study of the ways that the finances of nursing students may be relieved and reduced was the topic under consideration at the Co-ordinating Committee meet- ing in Denver, Colorado, Sunday, November 24. The purpose of the committee, which is composed of the admin- istrative officers of Union Col- lege, Porter Sanitarium and Hos- pital and the Central Union, is to co-ordinate the activities of the Union College Department of Nursing and Porter Sanitarium. President of the Central Union, Elder Theodore Carchich, acted as chairman and Miss Alice Smith as secretary. A five-year report of the rank of Union College graduates in nursing who took State Board examinations showed Union Col- lege graduates ranked at the top one year and very near the top the other four years. This ex- amination which is taken in Colorado is taken by every stu- dent of every school of nursing in the United States. everything from a lopped-off class schedule and a promise of no Friday quizzes to a real "home-style" dinner and an evening of entertainment in the auditorium, the day's pro- gram was well adapted to stave off any symptoms of temporary homesickness. For many students, Thanksgiv- ing 1957 was the first for which a vacant chair was set at the table at home, and for a few others whose homes are farther away, it was just nice to have everybody around during "vaca- tion". A less - than - warm Colorado team bested a colder Southwest- erner five 43-34 in an afternoon all-star basketball game which climaxed what was for most stu- dents a work-free afternoon. The college cafeteria was the center of attraction from 6:30- 7:30 p.m. as more than 500 of the college family were enter- tained with a palatable program of "drumsticks", glazed sweet po- tatoes, cranberry salad, pumpkin pie and "Golden Nectar" punch. (Continued on page 2, column 3) Students Share Food For Thanksgiving Cheer Many tables were laden with a more-than-usual bounty on Thanksgiving Day as a result of a special food basket offering at the MV society's meeting Friday night, November 22. Canned food and other pro- duce brought by students and community residents helped to fill baskets for needy families in Lincoln. Cash donations received were used for purchasing perish-; able items. Prior to the offering, Jonnie Lee Bailey led out in a short pro- gram featuring talks by students on "Why I Am Thankful." Tuesday night students and church members united in dis- tributing the baskets in the Lin- coln area. CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 6, 1957 hata by Sally Saturley I at The occupants of Room 228, namely Jayne Crozier and Cheryl Culver, do have their problems. The particular one we have in mind was when the closet door calmly locked itself. After painstakingly removing the hinges and taking the door off, it was decided that the lock would have to go. The sentiment behind this decision is, What if it happened again when they need something out of the closet in a hurryp Our celebrity honors go this week to Bonnie Smith. It seems as if Bonnie has a hard time waking up in the morning. Some morn- ings it isn't too bad, but then there was the morning, toothbrush in hand, she found herself down at the other end of the hall. Of course, there are days that follow up the early morning confusion and make for a bad day in general. For instance: We find our celebrity calmly sitting in church, but with the sun shining very brightly in her eyes. Like any ordinary being she reached up to adjust it. But unlike any ordinary shade it came down on top of her, covering her with dust and leaving her hat all askew. Thus Bonnie made her debut as a star. We have hard-working people on our campus and then there are hard-working individuals like Phil Freitas, Bob Kelly, Jim Maxwell and others who wrote so-o-o many (?) letters for the recent CLOCK TOWER Campaign. We have a report on the secret whims of Marcia Petersen. She has always had the desire to run, jump and then kick her heels to- gether in mid-air. Not too long ago she satisfied this desire. A startled Marcia discovered a laughing Don Bunch when she com- pleted her act. The other witness, Pat Petersen (from whence our information comes), also agreed that the whole thing was quite amusing. Maybe we can get Marcia to give us a program. From a Speech Fundamentals class comes an amusing anec- dote. Mr. Hauck asked this question: "What meaning would be implied in the upward 'inflection' of the voice?" Brilliant North Hall resident: "Expense." Answering with one of his many famous comments, Mr. Hauck said, "No, that would be inflation, not in- flection." Thanksgiving was the day Donna Wolfe and Maxine Reed chose to decorate their string of safety pins (mentioned in last issue) with Christmas decorations. With the holidays drawing closer and closer, the chain of pins gets shorter and shorter, much to the de- light of the owners. A great big thanks to the Kappa Theta officers for writing to all our mothers for food boxes for Thanksgiving. Also thanks to you, Mom, for the good home-cooked food. THE UNDIAQNOSED by Joan Frederickson I . Kenneth Cox, senior ministerial student, is shown as he concluded a three-week evangelistic series in York, Nebraska. Aided by other students, Kenneth reports a baptismal class of eight as a result of the meetings. SWJC Religion Head Featured in Lecture Elder M. D. Lewis, chairman of the Religion department at Southwestern Junior College, was featured November 30 in the benefit program by the Minis- terial Association. Elder Lewis lectured and showed slides from his world tour of last summer. The pro- ceeds from this will be for buy- ing books for the Union College library on pastoral counseling, sermon preparation, and field evangelism. (Continued from Page 1) Provisions were made for dates and other groups and the tables were decorated with brown and gold flowered centerpieces and nut cups. Featured in the evening pro- gram was Elder M. D. Lewis, re- ligion department head at South- western Junior College, recently returned from a world tour. His illustrated lecture included scenes from Europe and the Mid- dle and Far East. Emceed by Dr. Robert Cleve- land, the program also high- lighted the tumbling team and several musical numbers with a holiday flavor. Plans for the day's activities were shaped by a special com- mittee composed of Bob Huffer, Bonnie Smith, Barbara Zehm^ Willie Clemmons, LaVerna Rif- fle, Miss Eleanor Attarian, Elder Sidney Allen, and R. J. DeVice as chairman. A special Thanksgiving service was conducted in the College View church by Elder S. F. Ped- ersen following the morning classes.

The flu bug seems to have found its way out to Colorado, too. Recent hospital victims were Phoebe Springer, Alma Helt, Pat Dunn and Doris Oshiro. We were sorry the Nursing Club trip was postponed, but we are looking forward to your visit. We are also eagerly anticipating having the new class of sopho- more nurses join us in February. Many of you will remember Elaine and Bennie Brown, for- mer nursing students of Union College and present employees at the Porter Hospital. Recently they became the parents of a baby girl, Pamela Sue. The Thanksgiving spirit was certainly in evidence in the Nurses' residence. The hospital personnel showed their thankful- ness for the blessings of this past year by sponsoring a banquet for the employees. It was held at the Student Union of Denver University November 26. Miss Alice Smith's parents re- cently celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary. Since coming to Porter, we have grown to love and appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Smith. If you have wondered where Miss Smith gets all her initiative and energy, just drop in and meet her par- ents. Congratulations to this fine, Christian couple who are still young at heart! "Jesus is Real to Me", was the theme of our recent week of prayer. Under the leadership of Elder Davis, Christ has become real to each of us. The longer we teach Home Awards Offered For Prize Color Slides The Promotions Committee, under the chairmanship of Sam James, is sponsoring a series of monthly contests to obtain col- ored 2x2 slides of a promotional nature. Prizes of three dollars, two dollars, and one dollar for first, second, and third places, respectively, will be offered each month. Pictures may be of stu- dents, campus scenes, building activity, or unusual poses. Entries should be turned in at Dr. R. E. Cleveland's office by the last Friday of each month to be eligible for that month's contest. je 'z 'e.'Z'e. * is'?.ig>e, >c >g 'g >« >« >s IUSE i I KODAK CAMERAS \ S? g | for Better | | CHRISTMAS Snaps 1 I I | Starlet $ 5.95 « Star Flash outfit 16.50 f s Pony 135 model C. .. 36.50 A $ Pony Model 11 26.75 « | Signet No. 40 & Flash 74.00 % % Films, Flash bulbs, etc. ^ I I I MORSE'S I I STATIONERS I | Across from g V South Hall $ B Nursing classes, the more we re- alize that it is impossible to judge people in "seven easy les- sons". After the seventh and final lesson of Gwen Anderson's Home Nursing class, one of the students informed the girls that although she was a registered nurse, she had enjoyed their class very much. These shocked girls were relating their experi- ence at the dinner table one day. One of the other student instruc- tors said, "Well, that will never happen in our class. Our stu- dents aren't intelligent enough to be nurses". These turned out to be famous last words when that evening in their class one of the ladies said that she didn't care if she received a Home Nursing Certificate or not; she was a registered nurse! Sharon Dahse and Erma Cro- foot recently moved to the Na- tional Jewish Hospital for their tuberculosis affiliation. They moved Sunday afternoon, but at 10:20 that night the phone rang. It was Erma! No, she wasn't lonesome; she had forgotten her nursing shoes. In closing I would like to pass on a bit of philosophy which even the geometry instructor couldn't disprove, and that is the strange phenomenon that square meals make round people. College Music Groups Entertain Civic Clubs by J. Wesley Rhodes Yesterday a large and enthu- siastic audience was entertained by the well-known Golden Chords Chorale of Union Col- lege in the Pilgrim Hall of the Plymouth Congregational Church. The occasion was the December meeting of the Thurs- day Morning Club. This is an ex- clusive group of prominent and influential Lincoln women. They present artists and lecturers of note at their monthly meetings. This is the second time the Golden Chords Chorale has been invited to present the program in December, which is a music program stressing the Christmas theme. Frequently, the Music depart- ment has been called upon to present programs before import- ant Lincoln audiences. Recently, President Bieber, Dr. Rhodes, and three music students, Char- lotte Lehto, pianist; Carolyn Rhodes, soprano; and Natalie Deming, violinist were guests of the Lincoln Rotary Club at the Cornhusker Hotel. President Bieber gave a short report of the activities and progress at Union College. Then the three ladies presented a short musical pro- gram which included piano, and violin solos. This program led to an invita- tion from the Hiram Club of the Masonic Lodge for the same group to be their guests at their annual Christmas party to be held in the YWCA banquet room on December 18. Dr. Rhodes will give a short Christmas message, and the three young ladies will give a half-hour musical enter- tainment. Union College has long en- joyed the confidence and good will of Lincoln residents.

SpihiLl School spirit is a vital element sometimes lacking in our student body. It centers on cooperation between students and faculty, and involves organization of the student body. With organization of classes, competition would be brought about in contests and cam- paigns. Each class would strive to be the best in school. As you know, here at UCA classes have not yet been organized and will not be for a short time. The reason (one of many) is that if individual classes are organized, they will become as separate groups in the school, each one planning its own activities and forgetting the other classes. On November 23 a party was held for the Junior Class. Only Juniors and officers of the ATS could attend. Present at the party were only a third or less of the juniors and a few of the ATS officers. Does an incident such as this show school spirit? Why wasn't something planned for the other classes? Why didn't the Junior Class attend the party that was planned for them? If we are going to have school spirit, we must support the activities planned for us. Let's cooperate with our faculty and our fellow stu- dents to show that UCA will support its activities. —BS UCA Sports Short Early Thanksgiving morning the Union College Academy bas- ketball team was in the gymna- sium getting ready for their first practice. Mr. Jerry Wiley, Eng- lish teacher at UCA, will be act- ing as coach and sponsor of the team. The team members are Theron Morley, Jerry Wing, Delbert Conrad, Marion Pritchard, John Howell, Borden Scott, Harley Beck, John Deming and Dick Wreed. Sigma Delta Activities On November 22 the Speech Club, Sigma Delta, presented a play during chapel period. The play, "Just What the Doctor Ordered," had a cast of twelve students and two student direc- tors. The cast included John Klaren, Richard Griffitts, Marion Pritch- ard, Theron Morley, Donnajean Calder, John Deming, Jim Petry, Geraldine Beck, Janie Hirsh, Delbert Conrad, Roger Simpson, and Bruce Cross. The play was directed by Myrna Howe and Neta Wheeler, and sponsored by Mr. Wiley. Honor Roll The following students made the honor roll at Union College Academy the first nine weeks. A "B" average grade or better must be maintained in all classes to make the honor roll.

Each stu- dent was given a copy of this plan on a mimeographed sheet. Mr. Johnson explained the new plan as he read it to the students. The plan allows for a minimum amount of tardinesses and ab- sences. At the beginning of each nine-week period each student, is given 100 merit points. When a student breaks an attendance rule, he loses a given number of merits, or is given demerits. An attendance grade will be included on the nine-week re- port card. Any student whose at- tendance grade is less than a "D" in any nine-week period will be subject to denial of class mem- bership and will be ineligible to hold any class office. These at- tendance grades will be placed on the student's permanent tran- script and will be subject to ob- servation when he enters college or applies for a job. ATS Plans Play The American Temperance So- ciety of Union College Academy has been planning a play entitled "The Killer Strikes Again" un- der the direction of Mr. Jerry Wiley and Mr. Neville George. On October 30, the ATS offi- cers of the Union College Acad- emy met and chose the cast. The cast includes Myrna Howe, Rich- ard Wreed, Borden Scott, John Klaren, Vernon Usher, and Rich- ard Griffitts.

This will be the first trip through Dixie, the four previous tours having all been to New England. The course includes study and a directed tour of places of his- torical and cultural interest in the South. A few of the places to be visited will be Vicksburg, New Orleans, Mobile, St. Augus- tine, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Washington, D. C., Gettysburg, and Cleveland, Ohio. The history group will arrive in Cleveland in time to attend the General Conference session for two and a half days. An- other highlight will be seeing Congress in action while visiting our capital city. Twenty-one students have already placed their names on the reserve list. Many of these have previously gone on a Union College History tour and are very eager to go again. Expenses are kept at a mini- mum by traveling on the Union College bus and staying nights at Seventh-day Adventist acad- emies and colleges whenever possible. Three hours of college credit are given. The bus is equipped with a loud speaker system which makes it possible to conduct school work while the bus rolls across America. Any student will profit from the course, although it is especially valuable for school teachers. The history tour group will leave the college campus on June 8 and return on June 29 in time to attend the main session of summer school. The director of the tour will be Dr. Russell K. Nelson, chairman of the Union College history department, who is an experienced tour guide. He said, "The course offers a unique three-fold opportunity: earning college credit; enjoying warm fellowship with Christian young people; and seeing America — whether it be beauties of the Great Smoky Mountains, the grandeur of the rolling Atlantic, or the squalor of the slums."

C. faata by Bob Kelley Thanksgiving has now come and gone, and Christmas is upon us; all within the space of two issues of the CLOCK TOWER. Therefore, let this greeting of yuletide what-have-you extend to all of you from this writer. We love you one and all—even those of you who write letters to the editor. If you happen to be passing by Orlo Gilbert's room and hear the unmistakable sounds of a full orchestra somehow cramped into his cubicle, be not misled. Actually, it is Gilbert's new stereophonic tape recording equipment. The realism obtainable on stereophonic tapes is uncanny, and if you are inclined to be a doubter, go see (or listen) for yourself. What is so far a somewhat nebulous committee of three stu- dents has been striving for a very worthwhile goal for the last month. The students are Herman Lieske, George Sharpe and Jerry Mc- Manus. The goal is to get student participation in the men's worship talks. Dean Culver has allowed Wednesday night to be set aside for student worship talks. So far, Donald Hensel, Charles Slattery, and Rickey McKinney have participated in these evening talks, and at this writing, plans are afoot for some sort of musical program. Another program on the tentative list would include colored slides. After Christmas vacation, these fellows hope to really get or- ganized, so that arrangements for these inspirational talks can be made as far as a month in advance. If enough cooperation can be obtained, the plan might be expanded to encompass another night as well as Wednesday night. Lieske stressed the fact that this was not just for ministerial students, but an opportunity for anyone who is interested and willing to have a real part in worship of the Lord. This year contains yet another first for South Hall. Yes, Homer Simpkins has picked up his belongings (including his food-eating machine) and moved out of South into the Castle. Simpkins said that he just didn't feel that his machine could eat as well at the low altitudes of Ole' South as it could in the rarefied atmosphere of the Castle. The moving job wasn't as hard as you might at first imagine, however, because the young genius from Kansas invented a machine to move up and down steps which did all his carrying for him He promised that he and his machines would spy out all the news for us over in the Castle. In fact, he aided me in inaugurating the new feature at the end of this column. Thanks, Homer.

Sometimes it is paper, but more often it has been a carton of milk, an egg, sack of water or other more unsightly objects. In warm weather when carry-out meals are eaten on the lawn, it is easy to forget and leave little piles of paper around. The next day it isn't in neat little piles, but is blown all over the campus. Pretty? Well, you decide. Everyone appreciates beauty, even those who try to hit the outdoor trash can from fifth floor. To keep our campus clean and pretty, it takes more than a good ground crew; it takes a cooper- ative student body. If we 700 students insist on depositing trash in improper places, a dozen on the ground crew can not possibly keep up with us. Leaving the trash on the campus is bad, but hurling it from five stories up is dangerous. If we need more trash cans, let's do something about it. If we are just too lazy, let's do something about that, too. —S.A. Tlow 9a, yoWL Qhan&L! Study for class during ASB meeting? Miss out on presenting your opinions at Student-staff Council? You??

JM FEATURE FOCUS by Loron Wade A love for the north country burns brightly in the heart of Caesar Nawalkowski. In 1934, when he was born in a log cabin on a Manitoba homestead, his father was working hard to tame the rough woodland country and coax wheat from the rocky soil. He was five years old when a family on a neighboring farm became interested in the Advent message from reading a book sold to them by a colporteur. They invited the Nawalkowskis to share with them the new- found truth. Before long, sev- eral families in the region were keeping the Sabbath. Caesar tells of an incident which happened when he was about 4 years old. "It was one day when mom was busy and dad was helping a neighbor that mom found I had disappeared. Of course, everybody started looking and there was quite a bit of anxiety because of all the bush country with only a few trails here and there. Not long before that, a little girl had been lost and was not found in time. The whole family was getting quite anxious when near eve- ning they saw me coming down the trail with one of my dogs at each side. I was hanging onto the fur on each dog's back and they were leading me home." When Caesar finished high school, he took a teachers' train- ing course in Winnipeg. After he had had several years teach- ing experience, he answered an ad and got a job to teach at Lynn Lake, a mining town in the far north. He taught 40 children in the second grade. One of the things which he en- joyed most there was the beauty of the Northern Lights. At that latitude "they are not only 'northern' lights," he says, "but south, east, west and in every direction they dance like colored sheets of cellophane moving through the sky. I miss the Northern Lights as much as any- thing about Canada." While Caesar was teaching at Lynn Lake, he decided he wanted to be a bush pilot and at the first opportunity he set out to fulfill his ambition. He has 13 flying hours and 3 solos to his credit, but just as his goal ap- peared to be within reach, it seemed that the Lord had other plans for him. He was stricken with diabetes, preventing him from ever getting a license. He was uncertain of what he might do when he attended Ca- nadian Youths' Congress in the summer of 1956. While he was there, the Manitoba-Saskatche- wan Conference offered him a scholarship to Union College if he would return to teach for them. Caesar does not know what the future may hold for him, but he is confident that whatever comes will be a part of God's leading in his life. tihSL tyvu^ ikuadL^l Everyday we find ourselves preparing for some future event. This preparation may be a lesson for chemistry class, or it may be a dress or shirt for a coming event. The event which we as Adventists are to be preparing for will be the greatest event and the final event in the history of this earth in its present status. This, of course, is the second coming of our Maker, and it seems that this biggest event receives the very smallest amount of time and attention. Not only ore we responsible for ourselves, but we are also to help others. In 1844, the belief in the Second Coming of Christ was a dis- tinguishing feature of our church. Then, we proclaimed it. Now, scientists, politicians, and even atheists say that the world is travel- ing toward total destruction. It was one UC teacher that put the fact to a class in such a way that made every member ask himself, "What am I doing to prepare myself and help others for this event?" We cannot sit back and be satisfied. We cannot be preparing if we just have a hurried prayer in the morning and a sleepy worship in the evening. As the previously-spoken-of teacher suggested, when we have a lapse of problems to think on, our minds must be trained to, instead of thinking about the new car, to think of Christ's soon coming. According to Mrs. E. G. White, only one in twenty of Seventh- day Adventist young people know what experimental religion is (IT, 496). We at Union College have the best opportunity to learn and adopt experimental religion in our lives. (BlOC atuer EDITOR-IN-CHIEF .

Thank you, Frank, for another brilliant evaluation of my journalistic abilities. (For those of you who may have tuned in late, Frank Everiot is a history major at I- don't-know-which University. He has to date written two very humorous post cards to my "of- fice." It is my purpose to bring you some of the more entertain- ing excerpts from these cards.) Let's see. Are there any earth- shaking events in the offing? Of course, satellites, inter-continen- tal ballistic missiles, even imag- inary flying saucers are buzzing through space.

Dear Editor: Contrary to the statement made in your last issue, the stu- dents actually have no part in the selection of students for Who's Who. The highest ranking students from the list suggested by the student body at the be- ginning of the year are often- times never considered when only the faculty makes the selec- tion. The students who were se- lected by the faculty are very worthy of this honor, but it is indeed discouraging that many students who have done their best to uphold the standards and improve Union College were not chosen; perhaps from a lack of "Brownies." Whether the word "among" is the correct word to be used in reference to the title is a topic that might well be dis- cussed. A Student Reader war. NATO leaders are shaping the course of world relations. So what? Can I do anything about it? Can you? We're just Mr., Miss, and Mrs. Average Col- lege Student of 1957. We are at best just a small part of a page of statistics. Is there anything to be accomplished by my wor- rying or writing about these events of the world? Can I tell President Eisenhower how a mis- sile program can be budgeted? Can I control the educational system of the United States? Is my voice loud enough to pro- claim that the U. S. needs more or better scientists, that possibly Adventists should think about producing some of these scien- tists? Say, how about that? Maybe Adventists should consider help- ing the world in this way. Now this thinking is purely a first impression on my part, but may- be we should look into this busi- ness of a shortage of scientists and what we as Adventists could do about it. Are Adventists doing their part to speed progress? Possibly we don't want to further the ad- vance of technology. "Knowledge shall be increased; men shall run to and fro." This is getting out of my field, but may I challenge you, dear reader, to do some constructive thinking about these ideas that have been written here? These Faces in the Crowd: You have surely noticed David Priest. He has a lot of drive and a razor- sharp wit, That boy will make it. Pat Petersen, known to her friends as "Pretty Pat," is really a fine-type girl. Nalrix Sipedon Sipedon In September, 1955, Douglas Eddleman, '56, presented to the Biology department a fifty-inch specimen of the Common Water Snake, Natrix sipedon sipedon, "Warmin' The Bench" Lennart Colson Basketball is a true test of a man's physical condition. The constant running involved ex- plains why a professional play- er, more times than not, retires after five to eight seasons, while in other sports such as baseball, players have been known to last as long as 20 years. In an interview some years back with George Mikan, all- time great for De Paul Univer sity and the Minneapolis Lakers, I learned what it takes to be- come a champion. I asked Mr. Mikan how he managed to keep "in shape" for each season. He told me about the rigid schedule a professional player has to keep; gruelling practice sessions, strict diets, and early curfews. He also stressed the point that he didn't smoke. "Why?" I asked. "Basketball and smoking don't mix. It winds and makes you laggard out on the court," he said. "I don't believe I could play the basketball I'd like to if I smoked," he added. Anyone who desires to keep in top physical condition can take a lesson from the greatest bas- ketball player that ever lived. Hr led his Minneapolis team to si world championships during th«. year 1947-53. Nowadays he's the Laker coach. It's probably con- soling for opposing players and coaches to see him in a dress suit instead of the familiar num- ber "99" that graced the basket- ball floor for so many years and finally earned him the title "Mr Basketball".

This reptile re- fused to take live frogs — the only food offered to it—for one full year without any apparent ill effects. In the fall of 1956 several five to six-inch goldfish were acquired, and this snake ate three of them. Since no more live fish of this size were avail- able, Natrix went on another en- forced period of abstinence. Re- cently, live frogs were offered. Four have been taken so far. This means that three goldfish were sufficient to keep this large water snake in good health for two years, Signs of good health in snakes are the maintenance of body weight and the regulai shedding of the outer epidermis. The Common Water Snake is a heavy-bodied reptile which fre- quents ponds and streams. It is non-poisonous but resembles su- perficially the poisonous Water Moccasin, Although sluggish by nature, this snake may strike very rapidly in self-defense, in- flicting severe lacerations with its sharp teeth.
