Figuhrr Ochs are Guests of College Elders B. B. Figuhr and W. B. Ochs were guests on the college campus Monday morning March 11. President of the General Confer- ence of Seventh-day Adventists, Fighur spoke to the student body and staff during the chapel period in the College View Church. In the brief moments he spoke, Figuhr commended Union College for the large number of graduates that have gone from this institution to find their places in the work of the Lord throughout the earth. He stated that he was happy to greet the student body in behalf of these young people all over the world and that they, with us, are march- ing forward in the cause of God, dedicating their lives to the finish- ing of His work. Figuhr and Ochs were attending meetings of the Central Union conference committee. A Christ-like life has been the focal point of attention during the spring week of devotion, conducted by the Barron brothers. Elder Richard Barron, speaker for the week, emphasized the Christian's need for Christ in his life. "Only when we keep our eyes fixed upon Christ," he said, "can we gain victory over sin and really enjoy life to its fullest." The Man Who Knew Men, The Man Who Enjoyed Life and The Secret of Partnership With God were a few of the topics considered throughout the week. Highlighting the meetings were the vocal solos of Elder Henry Bar- ron. At the end of each evening's talk he sang Jesus, I Come. Alumni of La Sierra College, the Barron Brothers are now working together as an evangelistic team in the Tex- as conference. Students told of their religious experience, the way that they be- came Seventh-day Adventists, and their plans for the future in inter- views with Elder Henry Barron at the beginning of each morning ser- vice. Testimonies were given in groups of approximately twenty students each in contrast to one large ser- vice. These "prayer circles" met each morning at various locations over the campus following the meeting. Practical thoughts on personal experience in Christian living were discussed each evening in an after" meeting. The Barron Brothers will also conduct the church service here to- morrow. Four Pre-dents Accepted At C.M.E. Four Union College pre-dental students received their acceptances to the College of Medical Evange- lists School of Dentistry this past week following the first meeting of the Admissions Committee. Students included in this group are Lloyd Johnson, William Soper, Richard Thompson and former student, Estol Pruett, who attended Union in 1951. M. Webster Prince, Dean of the School stated that the entire 1957- 58 freshman class has not yet been selected and that others of the class will be accepted at the April meeting of the Admissions Com- mittee. Recognition Services Honor Eighty-Eight This ycor's eighty-eight seniors march to the auditorium for the annual senior recognition service held on March 8. Dean Ogden presented the class of '57 to President Hartman who in turn introduced the speaker of the morning. Elder W. K.

Pre-Professional Clubs Hold Annual Banquets \MM Near the mailbox several heads turned as the desk girl read from a letter the name Enna TestihwP ? ? P and the address: the empty box club. Whether it was signed Kcuhc Nomloh was not disclosed by the recipient. Alsc along the theme so dear to the hearts of all dorm residents, the mailbox, is the sad saga of Flossie Powell, slaving away over a very local letter. Roommate, DeLauna Keith, demanded some mail and Flossie proceeded to carry out the order to the letter. Girls who hear the latest are undoubtedly the pizza addicts, Sue Woodard ond Anna Jane Camp, who have a difficult time getting to sleep without their favorite supper snack of the sizzling pastry (ex- cluded by New Deal.) / # „ The Kappa Theta pie fling of recent program, "I ve got a Secret, seemed gauged to discourage participation of KT panels and encour- age the wearing of raincoats or some missile barriers on front rows. Take a beautiful pie, add a skeptical panel member with accu- rate aim, a shaky pieman and they spell free-for-all pie in the eye (or in some other strategically unfortunate spot if you're an unlucky duck- er ) Emcee for the evening was Don Nelson; time keeper, Carlos Swan- son; contestants, Elder Howe, Ted Wick and Phil Freitas. Panel mem- bers were Floyd Herberts, Judy Frederick, Sally Saturley and Sam Arm- strong. Singing the commercials was the quartet of Ted Wick, Jim Wilmot, Jay Cline and Jerry Patton. Enthusiastic Nancy McPhail bubbled in praise of a recent TOT banquet: "We had a delicious menu at the banquet." Squelcher Alice Mae West replied: "Oh, did you eat your menus?" Which is almost competition for a typical Dave Copsey statement in regard to some historical dragons: "Drag-ons? They must have smoked a lot." In the North Hall basement a room has been designated for a prayer room. An almost wall-to-wall shag rug of dark green sets the scheme for drapes and recliner in a fabric of pale green and pearl. There are chairs, a bookcase and a cupboard for vases and candle- sticks. Here one can go for undisturbed private devotions and a quiet time alone. Holiday Scenes Themed The Teachers of Tomorrow Ban- quet given this year on the theme of St. Patrick's Day was held at 7:30 p.m. in the college cafeteria. Wayne Smith, the master of cere- monies, gave a few introductory remarks which were followed by the welcome given by President Delano Gilliam. The program consisted of a va- riety of numbers. Fuss On a Bus, a reading presented by Helen Tynar, followed by Mvrna Wadsworth who sang A Little Bit of Heaven, and An Underhand Pass, a reading by Betty Chase. George Fisher, a guest from Nebraska University, sang When Irish Eyes are Smiling. Guest speaker Elder W. A. Howe told the banqueting teachers of tomorrow that no one goes into the teaching field for money but rather to fulfill an ideal. "We are looking forward to having each one of you in the teaching profession or at least in some part of it," he stated. The presentation of club pins to new members was done by G. C. Williamson and Mrs. Autumn Mil- ler. "To do something for the world is to do something for the children," was a statement made by Mrs. Mil- ler just prior to the handing out of the pins. Following this Verlene Nesmith played Without a Song on her marimba. To close the program there was a sixty-minute film A Desk for Billie. This was a story of a little girl, whose parents were gypsies and how she came out of filth and ig- norance to become one of the high- er educated women in the world today. The honored guests of the even- ing were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Turner. Dinner music was played by Lil- burn Underhill on the organ.

Along with this month come also the beginning days of spring. Spring produces many changes in people and their attitudes; it gives us new hope and determination to make everything we do worth while. How fortunate we were to be able to begin this season with Elder Asher and the Week of Prayer. If we remember what he has brought to us and keep it in our minds it will give us that spring feeling all year long. D.C. BOUQUETS TO: Pastor Asher for his inspirational messages during the Week of Prayer and for the personal help which he gave to a number of our group. Mr. Morford, Carlyle Welch, Shirley Wasemiller and Larry Rausten for a splendid job of directing the first U.C.A. amateur hour. We believe it was a real success, and we want to thank them for their hard work and fine accomplishments. We also want to express our apprecia- tion for the splendid job which our judges did in selecting a winner for each section. Rayford Swart Wins Grand Prize in Academy's First Amateur Hour Saturday evening, March 2, the Academy Student Association spon- sored the first UCA Amateur Hour. The program was conducted in a manner similar to Arthur Godfrey's Talent Show and each contestant was introduced by a friend. Mr. R. Z. Cleveland acted as master of ceremonies for the event. The first number on the program was a piano solo, "Hunting Song," by Mendelssohn, presented by John Klaren. Doug Brown introduced John and his number. Leonard George was the next talent scout to appear. He presen- ted Vernon Usher, who sang "Rose of Tralce." Then Rayford Swart came limp- ing out pn a crutch with one arm in a sling. He gave a humorous read- ing entitled "Skating." Natalie Deming played "Cardas" by Monte on her violin. Her broth- er, Mike, was her talent scout. Lassie Bringle, Delma Enderson, and Randi Sue Heinrich sang "April Showers." Their talent scout was Randi's young sister, Kathy. Vera May Schwarz was intro- duced by her younger brother and sister. She played "Home Sweet Home" on her accordian. Joanne Allen and Becky Ander- son gave a dialogue, "Footballs and Watermelons." Jimmy Ander- son told the audience of their tal- ents.

In the monologue given by Doro- thy Chase, a little girl entertained her sister's beau. Dorothy's talent scout was her niece, Marva Lynn Chase. Carlyle Welch was introduced by a cousin, Phyllis Christensen. Car- lyle's piano number was "Clair de Lune" by Debussy. During the intermission, Jack- Jackson, Marion Pritchard, and "the clown," John McArthur, did some tumbling acts on the trampoline. The Hub of Harmony quartet, the college amateur hour grand prize winners, sang an arrangement of "Old McDonald." Lorenzo Green - ridge sang "Because." The winners selected by the judges were John Klaren, Vernon Usher, Natalie Deming, and Ray- ford Swart. The applause meter showed that the audience favored Rayford as the grand prize winner. For his contribution Rayford received $25. His scout, Jerry Swart, received a box of chocolates. The other win- ners received $10 each. The judges were Professor Max Whittaker of the University of Neb- raska Dramatics Department; Miss Velma Smith, music teacher in Lincoln City Schools; Daniel Grace, graduate student of University of Nebraska Music Department; Clar - ence Croft, graduate student of the University Dramatics Department. Hauck, Deming Hold Weeks of Devotion Elder Arthur S. Ilauek, head of the Speech department, has been conducting the spring week of prayer at Sunnydale Academy in Centralia, Missouri, this past week, March 8-16. Elder Hauck's theme, "Christ for Today," stressed the teenager's need for a personal relationship with Christ. During the week the speaker has been counseling the students individually in an effort to bring about this relationship with Christ. At the same time Pastor M. W. Deming has conducted the prayer week for the students and faculty of Sheyenne River Academy at II arvey, North Dakota. His theme "Growing Up in Christ," was de- signed to help the young people to develop a better Christian exper- ience in daily living. He too held counsel periods in both dormitories. Physics Student Receives 1957 Achievement Award Jim Alexander has been selected to receive the Physics Achievement Aw aid at Union College this year, the Physics department announced February 27. The award, made by the Chemical Rubber Company of Cleveland, Ohio, publishers of the Handbook of Chemistry and Phy- sics, is a deluxe edition of the 38th edition of the handbook. The handbook which is valued at $4.50 was given to Alexander, who was the top student in Gener- al Physics the first semester, and was presented to him in class on February 27. Elder Asher Conducts UCA Week of Prayer The Academy spring week of prayer was held during the first week of March. Elder G. W. Asher, pastor of the Omaha church, was guest speaker. Elder Asher told the students that God has set high standards for His people and it takes hard work- to live up to them. He emphasized the fact that "it is not easy for any person to live a victorious life, but through diligent effort and contin- uous surrender to Christ it is pos- sible for all.

Looking around the room in the customary manner—under the bed, in the closet, etc.—Clyde finally found the portrait in a tennis racket frame. Pre- suming that the person who did this misdeed to him was the usual prankster, he called to Alan Seltman (next door neighbor) "What's the deal, Seltman, framing my girl's picture?" In a slow drawl Seit- man answered, "Well, I was just thinking that it was becoming quite the racket." He said that, I didn't! Some fiendish jester had a holiday with Bob Kelley and Jerry Nelson this past week. A can of juice was "accidentally" placed in the path of Jerry, and he being one who is always after something for nothing (who isn't) picked it up and examined it suspiciously. Not wanting tc be the subject of a joke he took the can of juice to Bob and they both looked it over. The cover was perfect and when they shook the can it scunded as a good jug of juice should. Finally deciding that Jerry had hit the jack-pot, they prepared to divide the contents. Upon open- ing the can they found to their amazement not juice, but plain water. The prankster had punched two minute holes in the side of the can, drank the juice, filled the can with water and soldered the holes. Some people will do anything to get the last laugh. They say the criminal always returns to the scene of his crime and Bob and Jerry are beginning to believe it. This time the culprit left as his calling card a hydrogen sulfide generator. And as hydrogen sul- fide when released in the air smells just like rotten eggs, you can ima- gine their dismay. Last seen those poor fellows were airing their room. You have one consolation, men, the third time is the charm. When Gerald McMillen came calling on his brother, he found Gilbert waiting with open arms. The only thing was that the open arms were for the food that Gerald held as he came from home. South Hall wishes to welcome most heartily a new student from the distant land of Korea. Chan II Pak came to the States just this last February and enrolled for the second semester.

After a few alterations that sign read' Alan Seltman, Physician; Gene Trout, Medicine Man; and Larry Henderson, Im practical nurse. Where did you professionals get such high degrees ol distinction?

CLOCK TOWER, MARCH 15, 1957 Afte* QicMaiiou BREWER WINS FIRST IN ORATIONS The other evening, {he annual question arose among a group of students, "Why don't the Union College students have more to say about the rules and the running of student affairs?" Upon thinkir.q over the question, there arose in my mind the question, "Are the majority of Union College students capable of self-government to a very large extent?" True many of the new and progressive ideas the students have would quite possibly help to improve some things, but just what percent of the total number of ideas would the truly good and practical ones represent? A very large number of Union's students are graduates of the academies within our three unions. At the age when students first reach the secondary level, no doubt few individuals are capable of much self-government. For this reason, it seems that most academies are justifiably run almost completely by the faculty, with student paiticipation in administrative affairs either lacking or a mere formality with little real power. Hence, after the four years of second- ary school the student is little farther ahead in the responsibility of personal thinking that when he first entered academy. Then he comes to college and similarly must be led along. But here too, the tendency is not to promote personal responsibility, but with students from freshman up to seniors, to set up rules under which the student must abide. At the end of the four-year stay in college, the individual is out of school and is suddenly faced, not only with new surroundings career-wise, but also with the personal responsibility of thinking for himself. Here, decisions are different. Not just deci- sions in a sheltered group as it was at school, but those of being one of a small minority group and living up to certain positive standards. Would it not be better, as has been advocated by other college papers of the denomination, to somewhere in the academy start to ease into somewhat more responsibility and let this responsibility progress proportionally as the person progresses in school, so that by the time of college graduation, he will be a well-rounded indi- vidual, not only in educational knowledge, but also knowledge and experience along the lines of personal behavior? Possibly if these ideas would be thought over and perhaps brought into practice, in the future a responsible student type of partial self-government could be experienced. C.S.
