Ingathering urges  
U. S. to catch up  
by Judy Brisbine  
October 9 is Missions  
Promotion Day for Union 
College. The area in which the 
Ingathering will be done is the 
southeastern fourth of the state.  
"We are aiming for one hundred  
percent participation," says 
R.M. Hillier, chairman of the 
Missions Promotion committee.  
A few weeks ago, for the  
Union for Christ weekend,  
Marcia Hirschmann was on 
Union's campus. During one of  
her meetings she told of an 
experience which has inspired  
the theme WAIT FOR US IN 
AMERICA? While in Yugoslavia  
she expressed the thought that  
the work in iron-curtain  
countries would take a long time  
to be finished. However the  
brethren told her that the work 
there was moving forward with  
leaps and bounds. Their concern  
was that they would have to 
wait for America in getting the  
gospel to the world.  
The Missions Promotion  
committee is composed of UC  
teachers, students of the college,  
conference men and College 
View church members.  
"We are aiming for one  
hundred percent participation.  
Yes, this sounds idealistic or  
unreal to some but these very 
people are the very ones who 
will make it necessary for others  
to wait for America to complete 
the gospel commission sion,"  
states Elder Hillier with deep 
conviction.  
There are many ways in  
which participation can be done. 
Praying for souls contacted on 
Mission Promotion day. Joining  
a band, driving a car,,working at  
your job  all day and donating  
earnings.  
"Our major goal is witnessing.  
No money goal has been set. If  
we do our part in witnessing, the  
money will be given. We are 
concerned about the funds  
gathered but we believe that first 
things should be put first in  
missions objectives," Elder  
Hillier declares.  
Jasper Wayne originated the  
idea of Ingathering but it was  

not for the primary reason of  
getting donations for our  
church. His primary idea was a 
way for witnessing to others of 
our work and gaining more souls  
for Christ by spreading our  
message.  
Last year many people  
returned the Bible enrollment  
cards expressing further interest  
in the Bible. Also there are many  
who can trace their conversion  
or first contace with Adventists 
through Ingathering.  
On October 8, during the  
chapel period, a telephone call  
will be made to Dale and Lyn  
Rosette. There are student  
missions in Panama. Also a tape 
from the Elder Kemmer; he is in  
the treasury department of the  
General Conference. This tape,  
"What Happens to Your 
Ingathering Dollar," has been  
ordered especially for Union  
College.  
Staff members have been  
asked to lighten assignments due 
on the day following Missions 
Promotion.  
President Manley has  
recruited staff members to be in  
charge. These teachers will, in  
turn, choose a band leader and  
recurit members for his band. If,  
by October 8, you have not been  
contacted about your 
participation, you can indicate 
this during chapel. The backs of 
the chapel attendance cards will 
be used to record your part in a 
band or donating an amount of 
money.  
Dean Britian is in charge of  
campus soliciation so donations  
of earnings should be turned in 
to him.  
We are responsible for sowing  
the seed of the gospel. We  
mustn't let some people's only 
chance go by because we neglect  
to do our part for Missions 
Promotion Day. Each of us must  
do our share in witnessing for 
our heavenly Father. We must 
not allow others to say "We are 
waiting for those in America to  
complege the gospel commission  
(fulfill the gospel commission)  
before Jesus will come."

Descriptive Astronomy, has  
been taught by the Physical 
Science Department at Union 
College since its first year of 
operation in 1891. Three  
telescopes have become available 
over the years for use by the  
Astronomy class. These include  
a very old 4 inch refractor and a  
6 inch Newtonian reflector. The  
Newtonian telescope was  
purchased in 1962. The third  
instrument was purchased in  
May, 1973 with funds from a  
$2,000 grant from Norden  
Laboratories, a local research  
concern.  
A study of several  
commercially available  
telescopes was made by Mr.  
Merton Sprengel, asst. professor  
of chemistry. It was then 
decided that the department 
would purchase a Celestron-8.  
These telescopes are  
manufactured by Celestron 
Pacific, of Torrace California. 
Selection of this particular  
instrument was based on several 
factors, including reasonabally  
large aperture, high optical and  
mechanical quality, compactness  
and portability, low cost and  
imidiate availability.  
The Celestron-8 is a  
Cassegrainian type reflector with 
a primary mirror diameter of 8 
inches. This gives an increase in  
light gathering power of 77%  
over the 6-inch reflector 
previously available. This is more 
than 1,000 times the power of  
the unaided eye.  

The Celectron-8 comes with a  
precision coordinate system, and  
tracking mechanism which 
allows for observation of a large 
number of deep sky objetts, 
otherwise, invisible with the 
naked eye or binoculars. This  
tracking system operates off  
either 120 volts  A.C. or 12 volts  
D.C. and therefore is suited to  
remote location observation.  
This feature is particularly  
important, since the College  
campus is located in the city of  
Lincoln where the city lights  
make viewing of dim objects  
impossible.  
The telescope can be properly  
aligned for observing a celestial  
object not visible except through 
telescope. This is done by setting 
the known coordinates on two  
circles on the telescope. With a  
little luck the object will be in 
the field of view. One's luck 
does not have to be very great 
however, because Mr. Sprengel 
has been able  to find 24  
different nebulae, star clusters  
and galaxies in a 75 minute  
period. This is a record the old  
telescope can not match.  
A set of accessories is  
available for doing photographic  
work. These photos can be taken  
over short periods of time or  
long periods of time. There will 
be a follow-up article to 
demonstrate some of its 
capabilities.  
This telescope was purchased  
to be of  benefit to more than  
the students in Astronomy class.  

Since its purchase in May, the  
telescope has been made 
available at several recent group 
functions, including; The Union  
College faculty retreat in Iowa,  
the Colorado Conference  
Medical and ministerial retreat at  
Glacier View, and the Adventist  
Education Association campout  
at Broken Arrow Ranch at  
Tuttle Creek resevior, in Kansas.  
An estimated 250 persons took 
opportunity to view various  
celestial phenomena including;  
sunspots, double stars, star 
clusters, planets, nebulae,  
galaxies, and the moon.  
A number of small student  
groups this summer had  
opportunity to observe at  
Holmes Lake, Pioneers Park and 
Stage Coach Lake near Hickman.  
As the weather and observing  
conditions improve, the Physical 
Science Department plans to  
invite more students and staff to 
observe on a scheduled basis.  
David Nowack has  had several  
opportunities to observe using 
the new telescope. This is what  
he says about it. "Well known  
star clusters and galaxies which I 
had never seen before came into 
sharp focus. Realizing that they 
were thousands and millions of  
light years away was a humbling  
and awe inspiring experience.  
Looking through the telescope  
with a sun filter and seeing 
sunspots on the face of the sun 
was fun, as was being at Holmes  
Lake and seeing the tower on  
the top of the capitol building."  
Board studies recruitment; cooling  
The first board meeting of  
the 73-74 school year was held  
September 26. The general  
purpose of the meeting was to  
consider the financial operation  
of the school.  
Three new board members  
were appointed at this meeting 
because of resignations. Elder  
W.O. Coe, President of the  
Northern Union, took former  
President Arthur Kiesz' place.  
Elder Kiesz has retired. Since  
Mr. Lyle Anderson, the former 
principal of Maplewood  
Academy, has moved, Mr. L.E. 
McClain, former Dean of 
Students here and now principal  
at Maplewood, has taken his 
place, Dr. John Pifer from 
Missouri has also moved. Elder  
A.C. McClure, President of the 
Wyoming Conference, was  
appointed in his place.  
Air conditioning is a  
possibility in the future of  
Prescott Hall and the east wing  
of Rees Hall. The Board  
approved air conditioning tie-ins  
for both places with the new Ad  
Building. According to Dr. 
Manley, the north and west  
wings are not equipped for it.  
The east wing is already wired  
for it.  
The Board also decided to  
send representatives from Union  
to the meeting of the Board of  
Higher Education in August.  
Department heads and other  
faculty members will go.  
Recruitment procedures were  
also considered by the Board.  
The new programs involves the  
local churches more. In every  
larger local church, a volunteer  
recruitment worker will be  
appointed to work with the 
pastor. Dr. Manley said that this 
will give Union a better link with 
the prospective students. Union  
College faculty will still visit the 
students individually but the  

volunteer worker will be there 
all the time.  A faculty member  
can only be there once.  
A new publication will make  
the scene in the recruitment 
efforts. "This is Union College"  
will be published on a 
tri-monthly basis and will be  
sent to all academy sophomores,  
juniors, and seniors. It will also  
be sent to  their parents and all  
the pastors. The editor will  
probably be the admissions  

officer. He will have two 
co-editors: the PR officer and a 
student.  
Dr. Manley also said that "a  
special committee is being set up  
to study the recruitment  
procedures of Union College and 
the special problems of 
enrollment."  
The Board also discussed the  
summer witness team. It was  
termed a very effective means of 
promotion.

in our humble opinion  
Take action  
Apathy-Webster calls it "a lack of feeling or emotion; a lack of  
interest or concern.  
Apathy is the easy way out of anything—because we are never in.  
It is an easy way to avoid being hurt—because we are not 
emotionally tied up. It is an easy way to always feel secure—because  
we never pay enough attention to anything to feel otherwise. On a 
personal level apathy is, in short, putting nothing into life and  
getting nothing out of it.  
On a slightly larger basis apathy is an infection that can kill a  
cause, a nation, or a school. If one person doesn't care or doesn't  
want to get involved, that person hurts none but himself. But if all 
of us don't care or don't want to get involved, we hurt each other.  
And we can't just sit back and say "I'll let someone else care."  
Building towards something great doesn't work that way. The only  
thing we can build that way is a general, pervasive atmosphere of  
apathy. It is usually a pretty safe bet that if you feel that way about 
something, several other people do too.  
Of course it isn't possible to be in the mainstream of concern of  
everything in the entire world. I am, in this editorial, mostly  
concerned with how apathy will affect Union and our lives as 
students. A  college is a unique place; it is almost a miniature world  
unto itself. It is a practicing ground for many things we will have to 
deal with in the larger world and the place where we are supposed to  
metamorphose into adults. If we practice the art of unconcern here  
because "we won't be here long, and its not really important 
anyway," where are we ever going to find anything important  
enough or lasting enough to be concerned about? If we do find that 
super-cause, will we know how to be concerned? Or if we develop  
here the false security that apathy gives, how are we ever going to  
know later if things are really alright or we are just blind. After  
we've closed our eyes to everyone else's getting hung there won't be 
anyone left to help us.  
"We sometimes chafe at the burden of our obligations, the  
complexity of our decisions, the agony of our choices. But there is 
no comfort or security for us in evasion, no solution in abdiction, no  
relief in irresponsibility." (JFK) vld  
Please fill out the following questionaire and leave it 
in the Inquest box  on second floor of the Ad building,  
or leave it at the front desk of any of the dormitories. 
Your response in this matter is vital in order for us to  
evaluate the true student feelings in this area. The  
results of this questionaire will be the basis for a series  
of editorials dealing with each question, and how the 
problems involved with each question can best be  
resolved.

Cemetary records history  
the first of a  
series, "Looking  
This is  
bi-monthly 
Back," that was run in the 71-72  
Clock Tower, Vol. XLVI. It was  
written to generate an interest in 
the historical aspect of the 
school. This week's "Looking  
Back" is concerned with the  
school cemetery and Henry  
Park.  
.by Larry Lee  
On the corner of 70th and  
Pioneers Blvd. is a ten acre site  
that is now used as the College  
View Church Cemetery, and is  
named the Cedar Lawn  
Memorial Park. Although the 
land was not originally 
purchased with the view of 
making it a cemetery, it has been 
used as that function since 1890.  
The land was one of many  
tracts of land that the General  
Conference purchased for school  
use in 1890. The land  was  
bought through the A. R. Henry  
Land Office, and Mr. Henry was  
the man sent out by the General  
Conference to oversee all the  
financial affairs of the early  
school. It was among his duties 
to buy and sell land for the 
school, and this was a job that  
Mr. Henry was extremely adept  
at.  
By his own estimation, Henry  
made a profit for the school of 
between twenty and thirty  
thousand dollars. The Lancaster 
County deeds office has on  
record  several instances of where  
Henry bought an acre of land for  
$100, divided it into eight lots,  
and sold each lot for $ 1 00. It is  
a little hard to make a business 
fail on that kind of returne.  
Henry's estimate of the profit  
he made would seem a bit on the 
extreme minimum side, and a  
figure of $80,000 profit would  
seem more realistic. The entire 
budget for construction of all  
four major buildings came to 
only $ 100,000 as it appears as if 
the General Conference were  
correct in their estimation of  
Henry's abilities.  
Land was sold through  
Henry's office at the terms of  
one-quarter down, and the  

balance payable once a year for 
the next three years.  
Unfortunately, many people  
paid the one-quarter down and  
failed to pay the other three  
quarters off, and the college was  
left holding the bag. The is  
where the majority of the 
money Henry made eventually  
had to go, to pay off bad debts.  
The first time that Henry  
came to Lincoln, in 1890, he 
was part of a committee trying  
to ascertain the various sites that 
had been selected in Lincoln for  
building Union. On his way out  
to the present site of the college 
for the first time, Henry's sleigh  
went off a bridge, and he was  
permanently disabled.  
It was rather a bitter price for  
a man to pay to get a park  
named after him, but in 1965  
the Lincoln City Council named 
the park west of the college  
Henry Park, in  honor of the  
Union  pioneer.  
Among the tracts of land  
Henry bought was this ten acre  
site that is now Cedar Lawn  
Memorial Park. The land was  
bought with the intention of 
selling it for a profit, but the 
need for a cemetery arose, and 
this tract was selected. The 
entire acreage cost the General 
Conference only $1000.  
It was rather a desolate spot,  
on the top of  a wind swept hill,  
and in 1 903, Uncle Joe  
Sutherland ordered a shipment  
of cedar trees to be planted at 
the site. He and Enoch Jenkins 
set out the trees from which the  
cemetery got its name.  
(My research did not tell how  
evergreens gave rise to the name 
Cedar Lawn. Perhaps the early 
pioneers could not tell the 
difference between the trees, or 
maybe there was a famous 
person named Cedar Lawn. At  
any rate it is still Cedar Lawn.)  
The cemetery is now owned  
by the College View church,  
after belonging to both the 
General Conference and the  
Central Union Conference. 
Anyone desiring more  
information (or a plot) should  
contact the church office.

This film's dramatic, artistic, and  
entertainment values are  
superior. . . The story of the 
heroic spirit and courage of the 
missionary will be a rewarding  
experience for all who see it."  
The tickets will be 50 cents

inquest answers you  
Manley relates  
dress to morals  
Question: I  would like to know the personal opinion of Dean  
Rowland and Dr. Manley as to whether or not they believe that  
there is a relationship between dress codes, moral standards, and  
student enrollment, and why they feel this way. JC  
INQUEST: The following is Dr. Manley's answer. Dean Rowland  
was out of town.  
It is now clear to me whether or now the questioner is asking (1)  
if there is, in my opinion, a relationship between dress codes and 
moral standards and between dress codes and student enrollment or 
whether he is asking (2) if, in my opinion, there is a relationship 
between dress codes and student enrollment and between moral 
standards and student enrollment. Neither is it clear to me what  
exactly the questioner has in mind when he uses the term "moral  
standards." Does he mean the law of God? Testimonies for the  
Church, Vol. 5:329, states, "The law of God is to be kept before  the  
minds of the children as the great moral standard." Does he mean 
conduct with respect to any type of right and wrong? Or does  he  
mean "moral standards" that deal specifically with an unwholesome  
or in some instances a "licentious" relationship between men and  
women? (See The Adventist Home, pp. 326-239, on Moral 
Standards.) I recognize that the "law of  God" encompasses all of  
these.  
Since it is clear that the questioner is asking whether or not I feel  
there is a relationship between dress codes and student enrollment, I 
assume that he is also asking whether or not I feel there is a  
relationship between dress codes and moral standards  and I will  
answer from this viewpoint. I shall also delimit or redefine the  
relationship "between dress codes and moral standards" to mean for  
my discussion here, "Does the way a person dresses affect his or her 
behavior and does  it also affect the behavior of others with whom he  
or she associates?" When so defined it is my opinion that there is a  
relationship between dress codes or the way one dresses and moral  
standards, the way one behaves or conducts himself.  
The questioner asks me to give reasons for my opinion. This I  
shall do. Mary Quant, the designer and creator of the mini-skirt,  
indicates that there is a relationship between dress codes (the way 
one dresses) and moral standards or behavior. Note her observation 
when she asks, "Am I the only woman who ever wanted to go to bed 
with a man in the afternoon? Any law-abiding female, it used to be 
thought, waits until dark. Well, there are lots of girls who don't want 
to wait. Mini-clothes are symbolic of them. The same article in 
Newsweek magazine from which this quotation is taken emphasizes 
that Mary Quant feels that mini-clothes are symbolic of those girls 
who want to seduce a man.  
The Reader's Digest quotes this same fashion designer, Mary  
Quant, as she answered the question, "What is the point of fashion, 
where is it leading?" The mini-skirt designer's reply, "was a brazen  
one-letter word. 'SEX'". I feel that many women must be unaware 
of the purpose that the designer of today's short skirts had in mind 
when she fashioned this type of wearing apparel.  
News commentator, Paul Harvey, writing in the Shreveport  
Journal, April 14, 1970, made some observations which indicate that  
dress codes (the way one dresses) affect the behavior of others. He  
noted that "Girls' skirts started creeping up in 1964 . . . 
Simultaneously . . . crimes against women began a dramatic  
increase. FBI crime files show the rate of forcible rape-which had  
been declining for five years—shot upward in 1964 and every year 
since." Prior to 1964, skirts invariably covered the knees when girls  
were either standing or seated.  
Harvey goes on to say, "Of the lawmen surveyed, 83 percent  
agreed: A normally sexed young man will be more likely to think in 
the direction of overt sex activity by the strip-tease effects of a short 
skirt wearer, seated, than by any other public fashion in history."  
This observation by lawmen is supported by a juvenile director of  
an Eastern city of over 350,000 who reported that "the unavoidable  
sight of short skirts causes an inner problem to all normal boys."  
Harvey also notes that, "Women do not see mini-skirts from the  
same point of view as men do." He concludes his remarks by  
observing that "Many women cannot- imagine that it could ever be  
improper-or even dangerous-to follow fashion."  
Yippie leader, Jerry Rubin, the youthful self-declared  
revolutionist who in 1968 helped mobilize the demonstration against  
the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and who along with  
the "Chicago Seven" was accused of conspiracy to destroy the 
Democratic Convention made some startling observations in 1970  
relative to the influence and purpose of some other aspects of  
personal appearance.  
Rubin declared, "Long hair is communication...Long hair  
polarizes every scene...It's instant confrontation...long hair...tells  
people where we stand on Vietnam, Wallace, campus disruption,  
dope. We're living TV commercials for the revolution. We're walking  
picket signs...  
"Long hair is the beginning of our liberation from the sexual  
oppression that underlies this whole military society. Through long 
hair we're engaged in a sexual assault that's going to destroy the 
political-economic structure of American Society." Do It, pp. 93-96, 
by Jerry Rubin.  
I do not believe that the wearing of long hair  by a man is of itself  
a moral issue, but I am convinced that it can affect the wearer's  
influence and at times even his actions and that it does have an 
influence upon the reactions of others.  
It is quite evident from the assertions made by the youthful  
Rubin, whose writings are frequently filled with obscenities, and  
who advocate complete sexual permissiveness, that he believes 
wholeheartedly that dress codes-one's personal appearance-and life 
styles  do affect not only what one does; he maintains they also  
influence other people. Since Rubin is an advocate and disciple of 
today's counter culture, he knows the thinking of those who 
identify with this type of life and he speaks for them.  
I believe that the observations made by Mary Quant, the fasion  
designer, Paul Harvey, the commentator, and Jerry Rubin, the 
revolutionist, speak to the fact that dress standards or lack of them 
do affect moral standards and moral behavior. As Adventists we have  
even better sources to turn  to. Ellen White points out that, "A  
person's character is judged by his style of dress." Education, p. 248.  
She also notes that, "The dress, and  its arrangement upon the  
person, is generally found to be the index of the man or the 
woman." Selected Messages, p.  475. It is rather surprising how  
closely this latter concept agrees with what Mary Quant had to say  
about the effect of dress styles.  
Time magazine of September 6, 1971, declares that our present  
society is one "in which men have become more feminine and 
women more masculine than they used to be" and that "differences

Praise the  Lord  

by Dale Forrester  
The chapter entitled,  
"Rejoicing in the Lord," of the  
book, Steps to Christ, there is  
related in a dream of a garden 
filled with beautiful flowers. 
There was one in his garden,  
however, who couldn't see the 
flowers for the thorns.  
We, here at Union College, in  
the quest for our future, might 
overlook the "flowers" of our  
school for the "thorns". There 
are times when we need to talk  
about clearing out the "thorns", 
but today let's praise the Lord  
for the "flowers".  
Praise the Lord!  
Praise the Lord for leaders  
with courage —  
Leaders who stand for right  
though it be unpopular.  
Praise Him for teachers of  
vision —  
Teachers who point the  
return of Jesus; so many  

others point to the pursuit  
of the dollar.  
Praise Him for the songs of  
the Summer Witness Team- 
Songs which tell from whence  
we have come, and where 
we are going.  
Praise Him for brothers and  
sisters in Christ —  
Brothers and sisters with  
whom we can grow up to 
be like our Big Brother.  
Praise Him for daily worships- 
Worships in which we learn  
more of Him whom to  
know is to love.  
Praise Him for Weeks of  
Prayer —  
Weeks during which we can  
re-dedicate our lives to  
total service for our  
Master.  
For all of these "flowers",  
praise the Lord.  
Praise the Lord!

* YOU , IN A MINI - SKIRT ? DON'T YBU  
CARE ANYTHING ABQI/T YOUR  APPEARANCE  
between men and women are indeed diminishing—or at least harder  
to detect." The Saturday Review of January 9, 1971, refers to "the  
sexes getting it all together" through unisex. Such observations give  
relevance to Ellen White's comment that, "God designed that there  
should be a plain distinction between the dress of men and women, 
and has considered the matter of sufficient importance to give  
explicit directions in regard to it; for the same dress worn by  both  
sexes would cause confusion and great increase in crime." Child  
Guidance, p. 427.  
Is there a relationship between dress codes, the way people dress,  
and enrollment? There are many factors which affect enrollment. 
Dress is only one of these several factors, but it can be an influential 
one in some instances. In 1970 I was a weekend visitor on another 
Adventist college campus. While there 1 met a father of two girls  
who were attending that college. This man and his two daughters  
lived in another Union from the one in which the girls were 
presently attending college. In talking with me the father said, "I 
suppose you wonder why my girls are not in . . . (the Adventist 
school of his home Union Conference). Well, I'll tell you why. When 
I go on that campus, I don't like what I see." He then went on to  
describe the personal appearance of students he had observed when  
he visited Blank school. He didn't like the type of hair styles and  
other things that he had seen there.  
Occasionally students leave one Adventist school to enroll in  
another because they feel or say that the dress code of the school 
they are leaving is too restrictive. By and large my observations and 
experience cause me to believe that the Adventist College that  
approves and carefully maintains a dress code that is balanced and in  
harmony with Adventist standards of dress will be regarded much 
more favorably by the majority of students, parents, and other 
church members than will be the college that takes a very permissive,  
almost anything goes, attitude toward dress standards.  
It would be most unfair to deduct from what I have said that if a  
college has a lowered enrollment then it must be due to its dress 
code. This may be one factor, but enrollment is affected by many  
factors.  
These have been rather extended answers to the questions which  
the questioner raised. But I feel that I owe it to him or her, as the  
case may be, to give a rationale for a "yes" or "no" answer since the  
questioner specifically asked that I give reasons for my opinions.

Freshmen  
oriented'  
to Union 
by Vicky Sears  
The purpose of the freshman  
orientation program, according 
to Mr. Robert Britain, Dean of  
Student Affairs, is  "to help  
freshmen get better acquainted  
with college life," and to help  
them with any problems they  
might have.  
This is the first year for a  
program like this. Twelve to  
fifteen freshmen are assigned to 
a group, with one staff member 
in charge, and one sophomore 
and one upper division student  
helping out. The groups are  
arranged at random so that the  
freshmen can get acquainted  
with other people.  
These groups are scheduled to  
meet seven times during the first 
semester. There are seven  
different topics scheduled, and  
each group spends 15 to 20 
minutes in a general discussion 
on the main topic. Each session  
is about an hour long, and the 
last 30 to 40 minutes is spent in  
small groups, where each person  
has the opportunity to ask 
questions or present any 
problem he might have.  
The seven subjects are: 1) get  
acquainted, 2) social situation,  
3) spiritual program at Union  
College, 4) finances, and  
problems such as loans, work 
opportunities, 5) academic  
problems, 6) a social in the 
counselor's home, and 7) a  
general session; evaluation.  
The staff members involved  
are to serve as a counselor for  
the students in their group 
anytime during the year. Parents  
are informed about who their  
student's counselor is, and can 
write or call.  
Dean Britain feels the  
program has been successful. 
"Some other students have told 
me they wished they'd had it." 
However, he felt they had been  
handicapped this year because of  
the shortness of preparation 
time. He hopes to enlarge this  
program next year. He would  
like to have it arranged so that  
counselors can be assigned to  
freshmen as soon as they are  
accepted. All of the staff  
members have been cooperative. 
AO but three were willing to  
help, and those three couldn't 
because of previous plans.  
The freshmen have differing  
opinions about this program.  
"I think it's good, but you  
should switch groups."  
"It's juvenile—makes me feel  
like I'm in kindergarten."  
"It's on Sunday night when I  
want to study, and I'm sick of 
hearing arguments."  
"Some topics are old stuff,  
it's irrelevant. No one talks."  
Suggestions from the  
freshmen included changing 
groups from week to week, and  
making the overall program 
shorter.  
Sophomores commented: 
"I think it's a good deal. I'm  
from high school and it's hard to  
get into the cliques."  
"I don't think this place is  
complicated enough to be  
oriented to."  
The juniors and seniors  
admitted that they weren't very 
well acquainted with the 
program, but made these 
observations.  
"I think there needs to be  
one."  
"If I had had it I would have  
felt insulted."  
"It could be good, but it's  
drawn out too long."  
One faculty member said that  
it is needed for some people, but  
"I'm not sure what we're doing  
is the best way to go." He  
suggested giving the freshmen  
one semester hour credit for it.

Picnic ploys  The only way to fly  
Air fares can be beat  
With the current profusion —  
and resulting confusion — in air 
fares and regulations, it's 
difficult to know if you're 
getting the lowest price. Even  
ticket agents don't always know  
and it pays to ask them 
questions. The following advice 
from Glamour Magazine's "How  
To Do Anything Better Guide"  
should help you get the best 
buys possible.  
****Don't buy tickets at  
overcrowded counters, especially  
at airports, because the agent  
will be too busy to  answer  
questions or take the time to 
work out the least expensive 
fare.  
****Buy round-trip tickets even  
if you don't know when you will 
return. Prices may go up while  
you are away. (You can buy a  
ticket for the day you're likely  

to return. Then, if you change  
plans, simply switch your  
reservation date.)  
****Use excursion, off-season,  
special and stand-by fares  
whenever you can, but be sure 
you understand any restructions.  
Some fares aren't applicable  
during holidays. Also remember 
that youth, student, and family 
fares in the U.S. are only good 
until June 1974.  
****Ask if it is possible to get a  
lower fare by traveling a certain 
time of day or on a certain day 
of the week. You may, for 
example, save money by going 
and coming in the middle of the 
week rather than on the  
weekend.  
****Stick with one airline per  
trip if possible. It's complicated 
enough for a ticket agent to be 
familiar with rates for his airline  

alone. If he has to quote you  
prices for others, you're less  
likely to get the best deal.  
****For international travel,  
always check on free stopovers 
you may be entitled to. Most 
airlines permit them on direct  
route to your destination; some  
permit stopovers at unexpected  
places, too.  
****If you're flying to  
California or Texas — and plan  
to do more flying within either  
state — you may save money by  
buying your intra-state tickets  
there, rather than at home.  
****Ask the tiaket agent for  
special deals on your route. For 
example, with a New York-Los 
Angeles round-trip ticket, a 
special Mexican Triangle Fare 
lets you include Mexico City for  
only $25 more than the regular  
fare.

Lincoln symphony opens soon  
The first concert of the  
Lincoln Symphony Orchestra in  
the 48th season of the 
organization will feature Miss  
Teresa Zylis-Gara, Soprano.  
A native of Poland, Miss  
Zylis-Gara comes from a  
music-loving family. With her 
sister and three brothers, she 
sang folk songs while a family  
friend accompanied them on the 
guitar. She still fills out her  
recital programs with songs from  
all nations.  
Teresa Zylia-Gara's first  
performance was as Desdemona  
in Verdi's "Otello" at the  
Metropolitan Opera in March,  
1972. It created such a sensation  
that she was asked to sing the 
role during most of the Met's  
spring season and in the Verdi 
Festival in New York.  
Last season she was engaged  
to sing as Donna Elvira in "Don 
Giovanni." She has performed at  
most of the major opera houses  
abroad. Her repertory includes  
24 operatic roles along with  
Bach oratories and Passions, 
Beetoven masses, the Ninth  
Symphony, and the Brahm's  
German Requiem,  
cooooooooooouoooouumja ,  

Miss Zylia-Gara will sing  
selections by Dvorak, Verdi, and 
Donizetti during her Lincoln  
appearance. The program is  
under the direction of Leo 
Kopp, conductor.  
A limited number of tickets  
are available for this concert as  
well as for the entire season.  
Anyone desiring tickets may  
contact Business Manager Louis 
Babst at 432-5497 or 488-9420.  
Season subscribers who will not  
be using their tickets for this  
concert are also asked to contact  
Babst.  

More than two thousand  
American students took summer  
jobs in Europe  because they  
chose to pack up and see the 
continent on an earn-as-you-go 
basis. In this day of high prices  
the attraction of a paying 
temporary job in Europe with  
free room and board is obvious. 
A few weeks work, which in 
itself is a unique experience,  
earns the lion's share of the trip 
cost, and a few more weeks 
earns money for traveling  
around Europe.  
Now fall and winter jobs are  
available in European ski and 
winter resorts. Standard wages  
are paid, plus free room' and  
board. Jobs, on a non-profit 
basis, by the Student Overseas  
Services (SOS), a student run  
organization which has been 
helping American students in  
Europe for the past 14 years. To  
make certain each student gets  
off on the right foot in Europe - 
and to the job at the right time - 
SOS also provides a job  
orientation in Europe.  
Jobs, work permits and other  
necessary papers are issued to 
students on a first come, first  
served basis. Any full or part
