WCLOCA TtMOj Vol. XLi UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, April 18, 1967 No. 23 Students Elect Don Bush '67-68 ASB President The power behind the ASB and the chief strategist is the newlv elected president, Don Bush, from So. Lancaster, Mass. The son of a minister who has been stationed in many areas of the country, Don plans on start- ing immediately on die platform promises of his campaign. Some of those plans will be inter- rupted because he will take time out to be married this summer. The junior theology major who is known for his boyish grin and infectious laughter plans on go- ing into the ministry and being a church pastor. Don has run the gamut of employment from campus cop, which he is now, to a traveling salesman selling, of all things, microscope repair. In his free time he likes sports of all types, and if no one has guessed by now. campaigning and politick- ing. Now that the elections are over he plans campaigning for the support of the students so they can present a united front to the faculty with the proposals that he hopes to implement next year. Don Bush, junior dieology major, walked steadily away from his opponent in the pres- idential race of die ASB final elections. Bush believes that die role of president is one of leader- ship. He plans on taking an ac- tive role in promoting his win- ning platform which promoted "a stronger scholastic program, greater student action and a dy- namic spiritual environment." Bush plans to begin imme- diately "to get the ball rolling" down the long, and often quite bumpy, road to a successful ASB program. Dear Students, I diank you very much for your support in the elections. I pledge that I will work for you dirough your ASB. The propos- als that were submitted in my platform I will work for. 1. A greater student voice in student affairs. 2. That there would be more student for student ac- tion. 3. and diere would also be more student for student ac- tivities. Now that you have elected me we will immediately start making our constitution workable and through the stu- dent council provide efficiency in the ASB committees. We will continue to work on a good ASB for you this summer as well as next year. Again, I want to thank you for your support and will promise to work for you next year. Sincerely, Don Brailsford, Sackett To Edit Publications Don Bush, '67-68 ASB president, dodges as his loyal supporters rush to the polls.

J. Fike Dr. Paul W. Joice Linda Sterling Wins Race; Please cAnSwer T)he Phone Like the mating call of the nearly extinct whooping crane, the upcoming ASB elections were met with hope- ful anticipation. Unfortunately the response to administrative posi- tions available for the 1967-'68 school year was, on the whole, without general enthusiasm; some did not take even passing interest. A few positions had to finally be appointed since no one had the initiative or interest to place his name on the ballot. It is often repeated that a student association is the student body, and can only become what the students themselves make of it. This is quite true, of course, yet there is still a missing element in the problem of "apathy," as this situation has generally been termed. The specific problem on our campus is not apathy, strangely enough. It appears to be more accurately de- scribed as a problem stemming from a break in commu- nications. In a recent survey among a random sample of stu- dents, I discovered that the reason certain well-qualified students did not make themselves available for ASB posi- tions was (1) because they were simply unaware of the various positions available; (2) there is little freedom of action if "I were to win" (3) the "student association is only there to make students with political aspirations happy—it never actually does anything." These three responses were the most common. In all three categories, there are examples of reason- ing based on rumor or prejudice—all stemming from not having been informed. Up to a point it is the student's job to inform himself; however, in the instance of a student association such as the one we are endeavoring to im- prove here, it is the responsibility of the ASB to make well-known its accomplishments and intentions. Often, the typical student thinks of the ASB in terms of various nondescript committees that appear to continually meet and discuss various items that have no direct bearing on his every-day campus life. In the above-mentioned survey, the question, "What has the ASB done for you this year? was asked. The ma- jority response was one of total silence. Most of the stu- dents who finally were able to respond spoke of the ASB banquet and little else. Perhaps the newly-elected student association offi- cers will be quick to repair this communications break. Like all communications though, it cannot function sim- ply as a transmitter. There must be an adequate receiver connected to the system.

Musically in- clined, she has played in the per- cussion section of the band for the past two years and once had die honor of playing with a phil- harmonic orchestra. Karen wishes "to post execu- tive and student council meet- ing decisions so the student body will be aware of what is being done with their ideas."

Edmond John- son or "Ed P. Jones" as his friends refer to him, is the son of the president of the Iowa Conference. Ed hopes to follow his father's steps as a minister, but he would like to be a pastor who specializes in youdi work. The bespectacled editor-elect spends his free time enjoying all water sports in the summer, and in the winter and school year he and a few other friends have become somewhat noted for their sometimes lengthy sessions of "Monopoly" late Saturday nights and early Sunday morn- ings. Since he will be here this summer working as a printer, he hopes to have some of the pre- liminary work finished on the Peanut Hill before school starts next fall. • ^ ppiiiil v r Dean Rogers, chairman of the student center com- mittee, works on desk in South Hall. Dean Rogers, sophomore busi- ness major, was elected today to the chairmanship of the Student Center Committee. Recalling the committee's ac- complishments this year, Rogers said "what was done was good; but not enough was done." This is why he decided to run for this ASB office, he said. Rogers said that he would like to see a sufficient number of table games. Also, he added, he hopes to encourage more games like die Dating Game and Password. Although Rogers is not con- vinced of the value of having displays, he said that he hopes to arrange for "more good pre- ludes."

Officers Attend MV Workshop Eleven students represented Union College at the MV workshop at Andrews Univer- sity, Berrien Springs, Mich., Apr. 5-9. Discussion groups and gen- eral assembly meetings centered on problems encountered by the collegiate MV as a student or- ganization. The workshop dis- cussed these problems, as well as other problems related to pro- viding a rich spiritual atmos- phere for the student on a Sev- enth-day Adventist campus. Those attending from the present MV Executive Commit- tee were Jere Webb, MV leader; Terry Dietrich, Bible conference coordinator; Dan Goddard, tem- perance; Karla Krampert, sec- retary; and Jan Schultz, student- to-student coordinator. Students representing next year's MV were Larry Hallock, leader; Stan Hardt, student-to- student; Edonna Christie, stu- dent missionary committee; Kathy Saunders, secretary; and Lynda Kostenko, publicity. Jer- ry Mitchell, representing the student missionary program, also attended. Curtis Wiltse, defeated candidate for the editor- ship of the Peanut Hill, relaxes after the elec- tions.

Vandeman says he hopes to have many interesting programs planned to interest the entire student body. "The Ministerial Club should lead out in devel- oping the spiritual tone of the entire school and not just tho ministerial students," says Van- deman. "But not less important, the club should provide oppor- tunity for the future preachers to get together for learning or just fellowship.

He also compared the local situation with the na- tional picture. Judge Nuernberger believes the rise in juvenile delinquency has been due to the increase of population in this age group. As this age group gets older they continue in crime and thus the overall crime rate is increasing. The most common difficulty, and area where most of the'de- linquency starts, is in petty theft, Nuernberger said. Chil- dren begin with this because it is easy to do and get away with. Frequently this is die begin- ning point in a life of crime. Considerable time was given to discussing the President's Council Report on Crime and Delinquency. According to the report, it is estimated that only one third of the crimes are even reported. Out of reported major larceny, only 20% are ever caught and only 25% of the bur- glaries are solved. However, 90% of the murderers are caught. The rise in the delinquency record is partly due to more reporting and better records. If anything is to be done about these law violaters though, it will have to be by the people, according to Nuernberger. Mar- ginal law. violaters could be stopped by only a few small tilings such as taking the keys out of the car and locking houses. Increase in law violation has also been due to the self-service method of merchandising, he said. The most important thing in curbing this is that the child get caught die first time. A se- vere punishment is not even necessary. The real problem stems from the family structure. A study on 500 delinquents and 500 non- delinquents showed that all the problems were family-related. The greatest challenge of our time is how we can live to- gether as law abiding citizens with respect for each odier and in stable family units. Nuern- berger said. The problem of na- tions cannot be solved before the family problems are solved. The lecture was followed by a question and answer period. Refreshments were served af- terwards. Brennan To Head Social Committee REQUIEM FOR A SQUARE You, like any other lovable, clean-living, freckle-faced American kid, want to be a BMOC. How can yo« make it? Well sir, there are several ways, none of which will work. You're too puny to be an athlete, too lazy to be a valedic- torian, and too hairy to run for Homecoming Queen. As for becoming a best-dressed man, how are you going to buy clothes with a miser for a father ? Are you licked then? Is there no way to make BMOC? Yes, there is! And you can do it! Do what? This: Become a hippie! Get cool! Get alienated! Have an Identity Crisis! Be one of the Others! How? Well sir, to become a hippie, simply follow these five simple rules: 1. Read all of Tolkien in the original dwarf. 2. Have your Sophomore Slump in the freshman year. 3. Wear buttons that say things like this: NATIONALIZE DAIRY QUEEN ASTHMATICS, UNITE LEGALIZE APPLE BUTTER HANDS OFF AIR POLLUTION 4. Go steady with a girl who has long greasy hair, a gui- tar, enlarged pores, and thermal underwear. 5. Attend Happenings regularly. This last item may require some explanation, for it is possible that Happenings haven't reached your campus yet. Be assured they will because Happenings are the big- gest college craze since mononucleosis. A Happening, in case you don't know, is the first form- less art form. Things just hap-pen. For example, eighty naked men come out and squirt each other with fire hoses containing tinted yogurt. Then eighty more naked men come out and light birthday candles in the navels of the first eighty men. Then one girl, clothed, comes out and pulls three thousand feet of sausage casing through her pierced ear. Then eighty more naked men come out and eat a station wagon. There is, of course, a musical accompaniment to all these fun things. Usually it is "Begin the Beguine" played by 26 trench mortars, a drop forge, and a rooster. There used to be, some years ago, still another require- ment for becoming a hippie: a man had to have a beard. But no longer. Beards were worn in the past not so much as a protest, but because shaving was such a painful experience. Then along came Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. Today if you don't want to shave, well, that's your hangup, isn't it, baby? I mean when you've got a blade like Personna that tugs not neither does it scrape, what's your copout, man? I mean like get with it; you're living in the past. Shaving used to hurt, used to scratch, used to gouge, used to give you all kinds of static. But not since Personna. It's a gas, man. It's a doozy; it's mom's apple pie. You dig? I mean, man, you still want a beard? Crazy! But you don't have to turn your face into a slum, do you? Shave around the bush, baby, neatly and nicely with Personna. I mean like Personna comes in double-edge style and Injector style too. I mean like any way you try it, you gotta like like it. * * * © 1967, Max Shulman Hey, man, like how about doubling your shaving cool? Like how about wilting those crazy whiskers with some Burma-Shave? Like regular or menthol? Like have you got a better friend than your kisser? Like treat it right, right? Ye-ye! The Social and Cultural Com- mittee will be headed next year by Linda Brennan. Linda is a sophomore math and English major from Dallas, Tex., who enjoys "books, guitar and writ- ing." - Linda accounts for the fact that she was unopposed for a major ASB committee "not be- cause of any tremendous lack of interest but perhaps lack of time TEACHERS If you are interested in lo- cating in a particular area then we can be of excellent service to you.
